Stayin home again.
Ended up takin a personal day today. Really didn’t feel like goin into work, combined with the fact that the car wouldn’t start till 2 hours after my shift would have started (ah, the wonders a good swift kick does for mechanicals) basically kept me home. I am sorely tempted to go up there to pick up Lost Odyssey though, but I don’t want to either get suckered into working the rest of the night (seeing as how I’m opening tomorrow) or getting yelled at for not coming in, which is more likely. Our store management isn’t real big on the whole “being understanding about stuff” thing. With them it’s like “Your car’s broken, your leg’s bleeding, and your house is on fire? You better find a way to make it here in 20 minutes when your shift starts.”
I don’t entirely understand it. Yes, I know we’re short-staffed. We always are because of this CA program. They take labor away from each department, throw it together, and create a group of employees that wander around the store trying to help every department at once. More often than not, however, there’s only one or two on, and both of them get busy in the Home Theater department. So…that screws the rest of the store. Whose idea was this again? Oh, right…Corporate.
What does it say about our department when they can only schedule 3 people on all day? One in the morning, one as a mid-day cover/transition cover, and one closer? It means that when it’s dead, we’re bored off our asses and getting yelled at because everything’s dusty/disorganized. When it’s busy, we’re getting yelled at for not helping all the customers because there’s only so many of us and people are impatient twits.
Anyway, I’m off to pick up pizza for me, Stacy, and Emmie. I’ll post another rant about something else later on tonight.
