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.
And I ride on the breath of the cold wind…
Wow. It is white beyond white outside. I really think I am gonna call off work tomorrow, especially if this shit turns to ice. I am NOT risking myself getting to the Blue Box because they think that “Oh, it’s not THAT bad, the highways are fine and I came from Allentown” like they gave me last time. Screw that. Have you yackoffs in manglement SEEN the side roads? Plows are doing no good here. If I left I’d slide all the way down the hill I live on.
Now, the only problem with this is one thing: Lost Odyssey launched today, and I didn’t know about it. I want this game badly enough that I’m seriously contemplating driving in the snow up to WalMart to pick up a copy before the snow itself melts and becomes an icy wasteland for cars. I really need a life or something, you think?
Anyway, I’ll post here tomorrow as well as on Twitter with my status of work or non-work, as well as what I plan to do with the day if I don’t go. Which will most likely happen.
Peace out, y’all.
