heeeeey....i PROMISE dum didn't kill me and bury me in the back yard, or keep me locked in the closet, only let out for sex.
work has been hell. when my boss was transferred out, my ONE decorator left less than a week later. so i was down to myself and my decorator apprentice.
two weeks of running the shop MY way (and doing a DAMN fine job of it) and then here comes ma new boss.
she doesn't mix. she doesn't decorate. she doesn't do paperwork. so me and my ONE baker tackle mixing, while i struggle to keep up the decorator section w/ the new girl.
fast forward another week, and my mixer get's promoted. to asst. manager @ my new boss' old store. so now i'm down to ONE decorator apprentice, and ONE baker apprentice. and a manager who does neither.
so i'm now running around the bakery like mad, trying to mix the bread, decorate the cakes, and having to stop in the middle of everything to keep the paperwork caught up.
dum got here on the 31st, and i had the 31st and the 1st off. since the 1st of april, i've had a grand total of one day off. which was last wednesday. my next day off is this thursday. do a lil math and you'll note that in 17 days, i'll have had one whole day off to spend with my dummy.
the only reason i'm home this early, is the bakery manager @ the other store (where my baker is now the asst) went on vacation this week, and it's inventory week. my newly promoted baker hasn't ever done an inventory, so they sent ma new boss back to her old store, and brought ma baker back to mine.
needless to say, he came in today @ 8am and by 1pm we were basically done with everything. it also helps that spring break is over (FINALLY!!) and we've slowed down alot.
whew.....i know this is one of those horrid "bitching" blogs where i do nothing but complain, but deffo needed to get that off ma chest.
there's been no news of a promotion for me. tho there is another spot open, as you recall. once again, there are 2 finalists, myself, and a guy i've worked with before. he's been an asst. longer than me, so the odds aren't great. but he dosn't really want the promotion. he's quite happy where he's at. *shrugs* i gave up hoping on ma own shop for now. maybe later, eh? till then, i'll do my damnedest to make sure my shop shines as bright as it can..... |
