So I had a root canal yesterday and the dumb dentist didn't file down the sharp edge...I work until 5 today and they don't work on weekends. Monday and Tuesday I work until 330 and 2, and I have evening appointments.
In order to not slice my tongue open, I need to ask to leave early today. I'm ****. :-/
I can't even swallow without my tongue touching that tooth.
And because of my terrible time management skills, I'm gonna be late this morning.
Eff this.
Anyone in NYC wanna cover a 10-5 shift? :-p
Why is this bus taking so long?!?! I'm supposed to be there in three minutes and I'm 15 minutes away. Yeah. Today is gonna suck a$$.
decafgrande, I'm already booked for 35 hours this week... But I would definitely cover for you if you aren't a shift supervisor or anything. That and you posted this on short notice lol
lol, it was mostly rhetorical anyway. Thank you for the kind thought, though! :)
And it totally worked out. My manager and shift didn't have a problem with it...which scared the crap out of me. But I guess it's okay. Tooth fixed and all is well.
For now. lol
Thanks again!!
That and I wanted to know which store you worked at :) hehehehe
Awww Gangsta, it's horrible that you had to be at work AND with your tooth bothering you. Glad you're feeling all better ;)
PS, isn't Sharpie the sweetest?
Haha. I'd love to tell you...maybe after I find that graphic design job. :)
PS Yes, I'd agree, he's quite sweet. :)
He's adooooooooo-ooooooooooorable. <3
you guys are all so nice :D
so, feeling better after all the dental work?
We're nice to each other lol. I don't know how nice a couple of my partners think I am right now :/
Yup, much better, thanks! My tongue is still healing, 'cause well, it got razor'd all yesterday. But yeah! I don't have that exposed nerve anymore. So, rock on. :D
LOL I covered a shift for another partner from here before. I would've loved to have helped you out, but ya know, my partner numbers have been marked INVALID
Though, u wanna hear something crazy? So we had this one Caribbean girl working at my store, I forgot her name, and she was such a pleasure to work with. So she just stopped coming to work one day, so I asked one of my ASMs, and she told me that the girl has been fired for over 3 months at her last store and that Jasmine just let start working here. The DM was somehow notified, and came to the store and was like UM WTF, and Jasmine pretended like she didn't know lol
But I was like, how in the 9 blazing hxlls did she get away with it for so long?
She told me that your numbers are associated with your information regardless, and that she was punching in at other stores, payroll HAD to processed since time worked is time paid.
I wonder if I can go punch in at another store, see what would happen?
You can always try, no harm in that. :)
No worries DecafG, the tongue is the fastest healing organ in the body. You'll be good in no time ;)
It's almost all better! :) I'm glad. Back to work tomorrow and a hella lot of talking, I'm sure.
"What cthan I gthet thou thoday? Thorry, I had a throot canal yethderday and my thooth is cutting my thongue."
Haha. Yes, tomorrow will be infinitely better.
Oh wait...I lied. I have my 1-year review tomorrow. :-/ I was doing GREAT and then my attitude began to suck...who wants to bet I get almost all 2's? :*(
I'll cross my fingers for you ;)
Thank you!!!
Plus don't forget you can always argue to bring it up. If you can give her specific examples of why you deserve better than what s/he gave you on any particular category, do it. I had this one manager I totally hated and when she tried giving me 2's across the board (this was back when the highest possible was 3) I called her on her BS. Just keep that in mind, nothing she has written on there is permanent until you sign it ;)
So I was late today (a half hour!!) and my pants ripped so my manager rescheduled my review and sent me home early...
They can't fire me if I haven't even had a corrective, can they? I'm a little snarky sometimes, but for the most part I work hard and the customers love me. :-/ I had to leave early last week because of razor tooth and the week before that 'cause of anxiety, so I'm pretty worried. :-/ thoughts?
i think a lot of SMs can be lenient if they wish to be. not all of them are obviously. i don't think a corrective is really severe at all enough for firing. if it is repeated then maybe they could but if you're a good worker, a manager might try to keep you...that's when they take a piece of your soul away...
Oh, I haven't even had a single corrective yet. So I guess I'll be okay.
You should be fine. When they are trying to get rid of you (and I've seen this a number of times) you will know because they'll just start giving you write ups for **** that you know they don't really ever care to enforce. You sound like a hard worker, and a gangster, so you shouldn't worry ;)
Thanks, Shanaynay and Trenta. I always get nervous about reviews and whatnot and they turn out fine. *shrug* I'll let y'all know. :D
You sound like me with school lol. I always super freak that I am going to totally bomb my tests lol. Then it turns out I freaked for nothing and I did fine.
same here, GYD.
DG, you'll do fine. :) I KNOW SO BECAUSE I DO
'SANK YOU, ASSASSIN! :D lulz
For realz, thanks. :)
