I'd like ten pounds of steaks from the bar chuck, cut 1 and a half inch thick. And trim the fucking rind. I'm not paying 5.98 a pound for bar lard.

Part time job just changed drastically for the better in the jolly ol circus where everyone wears green.  Am now in charge of twice as many people, all of them are experienced types.  In the pool includes an engineer, a guy who owns a mobile tech-support franchise, a guy whose been a force tech and is in his 50's, and some other cool cats who are all fit.  My boss's boss also started to get involved on my issue which restricts me from playing ball that I've talked about to some here. 

Things are getting pretty interesting.  I love my hobby...

There are three tables open in this restaurant. The rest are filled with drunken football fans. All of them will leave within a span of about half  an hour when the game ends. Third quarter now. I'm the only dishwasher here for three hours, again.

Compare last Tuesday, where we had two dishwashers. I got here at six, did my first actual work at seven, and asked to be cut at ten for lack of anything to do.

Looks like we're hitting end-of-year budget panic time again and HR wants to find people to lay off.  Hasn't actually started happening yet but boss is a little freaked out over it.

While I would really like to continue having a job, I can't really muster a whole lot of give-a-fuck either.  It has become clear to me that any change in my employment at this point is entirely up to the whims of people I have never met who have no working idea of just what the fuck it is I do.  I guess on the plus side, this means I don't have to go out of my way to prove anything to anybody, because the people in my department already know how indispensable I am -- they're just not the ones calling the shots.

Update.

So, tentatively speaking, it seems like they're not going to terminate me with cause. I say tentatively, because I'm not going to credit that until the actual record of employment arrives and that's confirmed in print, but hopefully that will make things (a little) easier for me.

So I picked up my last paycheck today. They were actually very nice and apologized about how things went down. They invited me to drinks on Sunday. My brain hurts.


Oh. Right. I forgot to say something here. I got fired last Tuesday officially because "I didn't close properly on Sunday and it was the last straw." Unofficially because I was the last employee left from the original boss. OH WELL.

Hey clutch I don't know what your company is but if it's a restaurant I can think of a line cook and a couple of servers who are looking for work and, ya know, not bottom-feeding scum-sucking algae-eaters.

Last week was supposed to be my first week as a regular employee.  I never got a login to my new timecard system, never got access to any other systems (benefits, training, etc), and last night I got the same "Welcome to our training program!" email from the temp agency that I got when I was first hired.

Gonna have to suspend judgment until someone confirms what I think that means.

Depending on who you ask and how much of the half-Spanish explanation you understand, one of the other dishwashers threatened another of the other dishwashers with a knife or hit him with a glasses tray or something. Because of that altercation the dishwasher/busser job has been split into two positions. I'm not even working in the kitchen half the time anymore.

Yesterday at work I was shanghaied into posing with a group of teenagers for a photo scavenger hunt.

If you ever come across a picture of a group of kids kneeling around someone in a Sobeys uniform holding up a broom like Luke Skywalker holds his lightsaber on the Star Wars poster...

oh, who am I kidding. It'll never happen.

On my way to the working interview now. It's for a place I've never worked for, for a job I've never done professionally, when I don't know any of the recipes or have any training where I'm going. This is going to be... challenging.

Just remember that they'll want you because your vuvezula wang is a big win for equal opportunity.

I have a job working as a game developer. It is cool but I find it hard to find the energy to work on my own games after the working day is done but I hope to circumvent this and losing my mind by mostly just working on them on the weekend because I am lazy and stress prone.

Anyway I'm at work now, better get back to work. work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work work

At 5pm today I will get a beer from the taps here at work and then maybe play board games.

This has been my long, boring post about work a topic usually only interesting to yourself and no one else unless your job is being a crab fisherman, a lumberjack, a firefighter, a cop, a custom shop mechanic or a pawnshop owner.

I went and collected my final paycheck today. Went pretty well - no hard feelings either way, despite the fact I didn't give two week notice.

Yeah, things descended to hell (no big surprise) so I'm back to looking for something new.  At least it's nice to finally know who does (everyone but the head manager) and doesn't (the head manager) have my back there.

Is there some sort of requirement that you have to be a complete dickhead to become a manager?

I mean do they just give people a multiple choice test and only promote those who check off the "kick puppy" option?

I think the cart is probably pulling the horse in this case.

As an example, go play Wolf or TF2 or some cooperative game until your team does ssomething forehead-slappingly retarded that fucks you over.

Now realize that this is how most managers feel all the time.
