my hours have been minimal at best at work lately. i forgot i even worked there this week, what with my ONE DAY (8 hours) this week.
so i go in and check my hours this week when i pick up my paycheck from last week.
not only am i scheduled over everything i had planned this week (i was actually going to go to a party - yeah, i know, amazing, i was going to be SOCIAL, except i have a feeling a few people i'd rather cave their faces in than be social with are going to show up and make me worry all night are going to be there), narrowly missing a doctor's appointment (i'm going to have to go in my work clothes becuase i'll have to go strait from there), also until midnight the night before school starts (first class at 10am, gotta be out to catch college transit at 9:15 because they're always late and it's too damn cold to walk)...
I'M SCHEDULED 4PM-12AM ON MY GODDAMN BIRTHDAY
they did this to me christmas eve (prolly christmas too if we'd been open), new years eve, new years, and now on my fucking birthday.
i am NOT happy.
it's like since i'm the only person that works there that's over 21 that isn't upper management i instantly get to work all the shit that all of the kids will bitch about. normally i don't mind because i'm union, so i get time and a half from work, and double time from the union plus on holidays we get an extra 4 hours holiday pay just because, whether we work or not. i'm not one to turn down that kind of money for doing virtually nothing (new years i read popular mechanics for an hour and scientific american mind for about three hours), but this isn't a goddamn holiday.
hopefully someone will trade me shifts. i don't have anything special planned for my birthday or anything, it's not like my mum's going to do anything it's her fucking wedding aniversary (spiteful much, mother? we were very different people then...), i just don't want to spend it at work with a bunch of assholes treating me like a lower life form. i was probably just going to play video games and sit on my ass all day anyways, but still, it's my goddamn birthday, plus it's a goddamn saturday, the first saturday after my first semester back in school, i'd like to catch my breath, maybe go out to eat, but NOOOOOOO i'm going to be stuck at work from the best times of day to do anything in this town since the whole damn place closes down at 9pm except the bars.
yeah, this crappy town closes at 9. at least in cleveland/lakewood you could still get shit done if you got out of work at 12. and yesterday, the main highway that runs next to the town, a main road around here... one of the lanes was a SOLID GODDAMN SHEET OF ICE. and so was my road. like my headlights were shining off of it ice. EVER HEAR OF SALT?!?! ah they joys of not city living.
and the mall out here? everyone acts ghetto. WTF, THERE'S NOT A GHETTO ANYWHERE NEAR HERE!! HOW ARE YOU A HOODRAT WITH NO HOOD?!? the hot topic in this mall looks like it's made of brimstone though. it kinda sticks out among the american eagle and lidz and other shops of the sort. oh oh oh, and there's a dollar store in the mall. so awesome.
i was trying to buy pants yesterday and everything was too big, it was so great. i settled on a pair that was a little too big because i guess girls don't have butts. the pants with the waistline that fit didn't have enough material in the back to actually cover my entire butt when i bent over and i don't like my underwear to hang out unlike all the thong sportin' chicks i see everywhere in the GODDAMN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES, so i guess i'm going to just have to wear a belt and have pants that are a little too big (i love that size 7 is too big :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)! i'm sorry if i sound like i'm bragging, i spent that last two years in sizes 12-16). WHAT THE FUCK WOMEN? WHY DO YOU WANT YOUR ASSCRACKS HANGING OUT?! SOME OF US DON'T WANT CHEEK CHILLERS! MAKE PANTS FOR US TOO YOU BASTARDS!
wow, i was originally just gonna bitch about having to work on my birthday. heh.
