For those of you that might be reading my blog sorry for bitching about work all the time..This is not going to be one of those blogs...
In the past 2 years I feel better about myself. I really feel that people like me. I never felt that way before. My ex made me feel that he was the only one who liked me and that I wasn't even likeable at that...He made me feel that I couldn't maintain a friendship because I didn't know how..Now I know better.
I can do what I want when I walk into the house and I don't feel like I have to walk on tiptoes all the time...because I am afraid to get him mad for whatever reason he was mad about either me or something at his work.
I was talking to one of my co-workers today before I left and she once said to me that I had changed since he left..for the better she said because I speak up for myself more. I think that when I go to my other job, I will miss our talks.

New Job!

I gave my notice and some people think that I may be going from the frying pan into the fire...I am leaving because of the things that I have been publishing in my blog and also because I have realized that after 5 years I am only getting $1.57 more than when I was hired. I haven't bought anything for myself in a long time because I haven't the money to. I looked for a different job because I need more than what I am making. So I have a new job. Haven't started just yet because I want to work my 2 weeks (I'm short)notice. I will be starting at a little less than $1 more than what I make now and I will be getting 40 hours. (I won't have to fight to get my full time hours) So hopefully it will be a good change for me. I look forward to the new challenge. I will be in charge of scheduling and money deposits. Wish me luck. I know that I can do the job I just need to learn the ropes...

I think that it is pretty sad when one of your co-workers says that it is really obvious that the boss doesn't like you. That is what happened the other day when I told L**a that I had given my 2 week notice. She asked me if the manager said anything to me or asked me why I was quitting. I said that he said nothing and that he didn't try to talk me out of it. I said that I didn't think that he really liked me anyway. She said yeah it is pretty obvious that he doesn't like you. Lately I feel that he is nit picking at everything that I do...Oh well I'm short...so I guess that I really don't care what he thinks anymore...but I do plan to go to his manager and let him know what kind of manager he is..for example when he repremands his employees on the sales floor and when he talks down to them on the sales floor....I've come to the conclusion that he may be a good store manager as far as the business side goes but his people skills are something to be desired...

I haven't posted for a while sorry folks just didn't have anything that I wanted to say..but now here it comes...The company I work for doesn't want to pay any overtime not even one minute..Well I was scheduled to work 39 hours one week, and Tuesday was supposed to be my day off. I scheduled an appointment with someone for that afternoon. Before my appointment, I was called by my immediate supervisor and she asked me if I could come in to close she didn't have enough closers. I asked when she wanted me to come in to work and she said as soon as I could. I told her that I could come in after 5:00PM because I had an appointment she was pleased that I had agreed to come in to close so she said OK come in as soon as you can after your appointment..so I worked about 3 hours more than I was scheduled. (When she called she said I would be able to keep the extra hours) Well, I worked the rest of the week and no one said anything to me...until Friday. Saturday is the begining of our work week so when Friday came, I was told that I had to leave at 1:15. I asked why, I was told that I had too many hours..I told the CSM that I wanted to talk to the Manager, they said after I get off the register. I get off the register and I ask the manager why I am told that I have to leave. He said check your hours and then come and tell me how many hours that you have so far..I did. I had about 36 hours not counting the 3 hours that I had worked that morning. So I went back on the sales floor to tell him..When I told him, he looked down at me and said this: Did you think that you were going to work all day today? I looked at him and said I was prepared to yes. Then he said no you are going to have overtime. I said but I came in on my day off and was told that I was going to have extra hours..he said extra hours yes not overtime...So I just turned and said fine and then left.This was on the sales floor by the service desk where customers and associates could hear what he was saying to me..The manager has a nack of giving me greif like that on the sales floor. That happened on the Friday before my last vacation....so I guess that my vacation started a little early....Oh well...
