Home alone… doesn’t happen much

I guess I am going to enjoy it.  My son is at work and my hubby has to bowl on Thursday nights.  It’s a good night to bowl because I love to watch, The Office.  It is the fastest half hour of my life.  I wish it was on for an hour again.  I love that show and can’t get enough.  I will even go to the web site and watch it again.  I am so glad that Toby is back.  Can’t get enough of him or maybe it’s the fact that Michael hates him so much that makes me not get enough of him.  If that makes sense.

They are being stupid about my hours.  Typically I work 20 hours a week.  Now that we are super busy because of the holiday they cut me back to 19 hours a week.  Ok I don’t want holiday burnout so that is ok.  But it’s the only time during the year where I know I can work more hours and I am willing to do it.  I have really nice hours in the summer which is what I like.  Anyway, now they are going to tell me which  day I am going to work and which hours.  So I may be working five days a week it will just be 3 or 4 hours a time.  I always work M-T-and Th.  But during X-mas when it is busy I work Sat too.  Just like 4 hours.  I love this job because if I have an appointment then I can work a different day. But now they tell me you will work 19 hours and it will be these hours.  And they want to tell us to work this many hours in books, this many in music and this many in movies.  If we go over even 5 minutes we are supposed to call our all ready busy District Manager and tell him we went over and then we are supposed to subtract that many minutes/hours later in the week.  Now is it just me or is this just petty!?!?!?!?  Does he really want to sit and hear from all of us about how much time we already spend in our already busy day!  I want to know who is making up these rules? 

I would really love to call someone and find out what the deal is.  The only thing I don’t have time and I am not going to do it on my time.  It all boils down to money and all the big wigs want is more money in their pockets.  Well we will see how greedy they get when they find out their sales are not that big.  I can only work so fast and get so much out of the back room.  When my time is done I walk away, not matter what is in the back room.  Not my problem.  After all , I don’t get a vacation pay, or profit sharing or bonus.  Hell to the no!  I get nothing and not even a pay raise since I was there a year in October.  I will say one thing.  I am looking for a new job.  There are not many out there because of this terrible economy but I am looking.  I just have to learn to not be so dedicated and worried, I am just going to walk away.

And if they tell me the week of X-mas I can work 40 hours I am going to tell them where to go.  I don’t get paid benefits there is no way I am going to work 40 hours!  They can take their 40 hours and do with it what they want!

I love too how they make up the rules as they go along.  They dont’ tell you this stuff when they hire you they just want you to adjust when they go along.  Does this happen everywhere in America?  I did have another job offer today from Foster Grant sunglasses.  But it involved alot of running around and no mileage of course and only about 15 hours a month!  Not worth my time or effort. I don’t want to get to learn a new bunch of stuff for a measly 15 hours a month.  That’s not worth my time or effort. 

Ok enough of my complaining.  I just needed to vent.

Merry Christmas everyone.  I just looked at the calendar and it’s 2 weeks from today.  What a scarey thought!
