~5 more shifts~


It just keeps getting more frustrating! I found out tonite, that the girl they brought in to replace me, is getting paid more money than I ever got paid. Hows that for a slap in the face, and thanks for your hard work and dedication for the last year!

Granted, she may be inflating her numbers a little, but if this is indeed the case, I think I"m pretty justified in being upset. The only thing I've ever done there, is try and do a good job, and to be treated the way i've been treated my last few shifts there.... I just dont know what to think! I feel sooo , hmm, sooo hurt, I think would be the best way to describe it.

But on the positive side,( yes there is a positive side) :) I've met alot of people in my time there, and I"m proud to call most of them friends :) We've had some good times there, and I will always look back on the memories i've created there with great fondness. I've learned alot, my time there, changed, grown, matured, to a certain extent anyway :) I'll miss certain aspects of working there, for sure ! I just wish I could have left with a better feeling.... if you know what I mean!

5 MORE SHIFTS

I Need To Get Away !


I need a holiday ! I'm about fed up with Whitespot, as you can probably tell, if you've been reading my blog periodically, over the past few days. I know life isn't fair, but it just seems right now, at work, life is treating everyone else, but me, fairly. My shifts, are closing shifts till I"m out of there, while, the other managers there, are getting three days off a week, weekends off, four days off in a row. You know I could really use something like that right now !

I know I"m leaving, and I only have a limited amount of shifts left at that restaurant, but that shouldn't mean that I'm the one that gets the lousy shifts. That doesn't mean that i"m the one that doesn't get a weekend off. That doesn't mean that I"m the one that doesn't get four days off in a row. Or does it? Maybe I"m NAIVE..... but one would think, a happy manager would be of greater value to the restaurant, than one who is unhappy, bitter, upset, severely stressed out... maybe I"m wrong.... which could be a distinct possibility.... who knows. Alls I know is that I need a break! I'm tired of being a pawn! Use and abuse, thats the current philosophy around the place right now. It sure feels that way anyway!

I'm gonna be in fine form when I start my new job.

I NEED A BREAK !

Oregon sounds good right about now!

6 more shifts !!!



Its almost over ! But everything that could go wrong, will, as evidenced by my shift tonite. The head grill is now sick for 10 days, there is no one to take his place without dishing out overtime. The paycheques for most of the servers were messed up ..... so they were all upset, for some odd reason. sick call, after sick call..... running out of food items.........dealing with customer complaints..........

Its almost over........... I think!

I think, I can do this.......... I THINK.............

I'm just tired of dealing with the same ole stuff, day in and day out. I want to get out to my new job, and start there. sure there is probbaly some of the same problems there....but its a new environment!

I WANT IT TO BE OVER!

why oh why? must i put up with all this........

i'm sure there is some reason, somewhere, I just dont see it yet !

My Nephew


My wonderful nephew. As is usual, its friday, so we have him for the day! :) Nothing like being woke up practically at the crack of dawn, by a sweet little voice saying.. "AUNTIE, AUNTIE" .. what a sweet heart he is! :) I took him for a walk this morning! :) we went to see the ducks, and he had fun throwing rocks in the pond! :) he is in such a good mood today! :) He truly is so much fun to be around!

Life is good, whenever Ethan is around! :)
