So guess who is back at Payless! Me! And guess who is pissed off already! Me!
I told Buttheads I would be leaving for the summer back in February because by that time I SERIOUSLY hated Buttheads. And I had gotten a summer job at a camp. But then I got into school and didnt want to leave for the whole summer, because how could I get things ready for school if I spent the whole summer in the middle of the wilderness? I couldnt. But I REALLY didnt want to spend 8 more weeks at Buttheads. And I REALLY didnt want to find a new job. So back to Payless I went biggrin And I decided that instead of making 5 million complaint threads about it like that time, I would just make one.
And I know you guys probably dont care about my rants, but I like to see myself type so its ok <3 And I dont like journals D<
I actually have a problem today. My dumbass boss Ron messed up the schedule this week. Tomorrow me and a new girl are going in at 9. There needs to be someone there with keys at 8:45 to open. I dont have keys yet because Ron hasnt gotten me a set. So I cant open the store tomorrow.
I was planning on going in this morning to get keys from Michelle. But then Michelle called and left me a message asking if I could cover for her today (today is my day off) because she's sick. It would only be 2 and 1/2 hours but I REALLY dont want to go in on my day off. But if I go in before she leaves to get keys she'll know I can come in and work.
SO I could just go in and work and get keys. OR I could not go in and pretend I didnt notice the mistake in the schedule. Then tomorrow I could go in at 9 and stand outside with Brenda wondering who is supposed to open, then have to track down someone with keys, and wait for them to get to Payless, and then open the store late, and then call douchebag Ron and be like "we opened the store late because you're lame and didnt check the schedule to make sure it made sense <3" which would be a lot of fun. But then it might just become annoying instead of fun.
OR I could pretend I was out, and got the call at like 12, and decided it would be easier to just go in in jeans instead of work clothes, because it would have taken a while to go home and change and all my work clothes are in the washer and stuff. Then they would have to stick me in the back with the shipment and I wouldnt have to deal with anyone.
BUT Ron is supposed to do the schedule today so he might be in the back too. And I dont want to be stuck in the back with him. And I REALLY dont want to deal with customers. Life is so complicated.
I also really dont want to open tomorrow because I havent opened in 8 months and dont really remember all that I have to do. :/

Yesterday work was seriously dramatic. First off, it was Brenda's last day and so she called out. And we were both supposed to open. So Ron (my manager) came in for 2 hours and I was SO upset. I hate when I'm expecting not to work with him and then he comes in anyways. I had opened for the first time since I came back and of course I did a lot wrong. I just put it all aside and was going to wait for Michelle to come in and ask her to show me. But since Ron came in that didnt happened. So he started talking s**t about Chantay (my old manager) not doing her job as manager, and asking why she didnt feel the need to teach me how to be a key carrier and I was like, Ron she DID teach me but I've been gone for 8 months....and he was like Yeah, but this isnt something you forget. ... ... ... so lame. THEN he spent the whole 2 hours talking to me and I swear I did not help a single customer except to ring them up. And he kept talking about how to live the journey and how important it is but he wouldnt let me do it. He came in to "help" and NOTHING got done. If he hadnt come in I would have been able to run carts and do the journey with a lot of customers. But now instead I did nothing, but learn how to open. Which honestly should not have taken 2 hours :/
Then before Ron leaves of COURSE he starts talking bad about Michelle. He told me that when she came in she would want to go unpack, or have someone else doing it. Which, since we have over 100 boxes back there that have been there since I started, would be a good idea. But no. Ron said he would come in this morning to unpack. WHICH PISSES ME OFF because I open today and was very happy that it was Ron's day off but now I'm going to be stuck with him again! Anyways then he starts saying how Michelle is too focused on tasks and doesnt care about the customer and how he's going to have to have a very serious talk with her and she will have to change or he will write her up and possibly terminate her. Then he also tells me that if I dont keep the store filled when Michelle comes in she'll flip out and yell at me. Which I know isnt true because I've worked with her for over a year :/
If I had known what was going to happen I wouldnt have told Michelle any of this, but I didnt and I did. Michelle flipped out over Ron talking about her behind her back AGAIN. Apparently he's been doing it a LOT lately. It was the 2nd time he talked about her to me and I've only been there a week. And apparently Michelle has confronted him many times and told him he better not talk about her behind her back and that if he has anything to say it better be to her face, and her face only. So she called him, and told him everything she finds wrong with him, and then quit. She also called corporate to complain about him. And she did it all in the front of the store instead of the back so everyone, including the customers, could hear it.
Normally it would have been tons of fun because I love drama and missed it so much at buttheads but this drama wasnt fun :/ Michelle has been at Payless for 3 years, and she's the only one who is left from when I used to work there and she's totally my favorite person there. So its really sad that she's leaving. And its also not fun because when Ron was trying to deny things she would say "Then why do Starr and Nymphie (except she said my irl name >.>) and everyone else tell me it? Are they all lying?" and so now Ron isnt going to be very happy with me >.> AND its also bad because Michelle is a key carrier and full timer. And the other key carrier told Ron she could only work one night a week during the summer. And then the only other key carriers are me and Ron. And Ron was telling me that he didnt think he had enough key carriers to let me go to my friend's wedding when I started. So now he definately wont think he has enough. Not that there is any chance I'm not going to her wedding. I'll call out 4 days in a row if I have to but it would really suck if I got fired sad And then it also sucks because what if because Michelle called Corporate that will mean people have to check up on Ron more often? And what if that person is John, the district manager? I hate hate hate John! I dont want him to come to the store anymore then he needs too sad
This all so not cool. I hate Ron so much.
I really want to switch to Chantay's store now, even if its an hour away and gas is CRAZY this summer. But there is no way Ron would let me do that.
