Yum. Almost $1300 in the bank (I'm roughly $20 shy of it), or at least there will be as soon as I get done here and actually deposit my two checks. (The Taco Bell one is ten times bigger than the Steak House one, lol...)
Ken FINALLY gave me my $10 Wal-Mart gift card for being Champ of the Week, which was like six or seven weeks ago, and I intend to go spend it on something completely frivolous, pointless, and wasteful, like a movie or book or something.
They've instituted a demerit system at work, so when you're late you get a demerit rather than, say, a warning, and you're allowed a certain number per month or whatever... I feel like I'm in grade school again, because we worked on that kind of system. (Granted, I got probably like four demerits in my whole LIFE, but whatever.) I need to find out how many we're allowed so I know how many times I can get away with being a minute late! XD
Speaking of which--my replacement on headset was fifteen minutes late and still hadn't put up her hair when I got there, so I had to stay nearly twenty minutes late. Didn't mind so much (I like canceling out my breaks here and there so I can hit overtime), but Nico told me I could go yell at her (I'm not even kidding) and I went and all I really said was "You're late and you're supposed to take my headset, so here," and I didn't even raise my voice, and she was all, "Yeah, I don't really care, I don't want to be here, I'm sick of doing headset all the time."
WTF???
She basically said to me (for the first time) all the things I've been saying for weeks, maybe months, and what I had been feeling for nearly nine hours (or nine hours and twenty minutes if you don't count my break), like she expected me to feel sorry for her. (And I'd like to point out that when I say it, I usually already have the headset on my head and am already DOING it.)
Maybe I'm a hypocrite for not feeling sorry for her, but you know what? I don't. Especially not when I'd been doing HER job for twenty minutes past when I should have gotten to leave.
But Nico thanked me on my way out and I didn't really mind staying late. I'm just upset at HER for putting other people in a situation. That and her totally unapologetic attitude just grated on my nerves.
(And you know what, she might run across this as she IS on LJ...but whatever. She and I go through fits of getting along really well for a good long while and then hating each other for a few weeks and then forgetting about it and starting all over.)
I don't know, maybe if enough of us band together we can get more people on a rotation and each of us would have to do it less often. I wouldn't mind headset so much if it was, say, once or twice a week.
*sigh* So I'm still not happy at work, but that $10 is making me feel better. And my paycheck. Mmm, paycheck. (Does this make me a sellout? That getting lots of money--or what seems like lots of money to me--makes me okay with losing my sanity?)
Ahh, whatever. QUIZZES!
( To save space. )
