Okay . . . well . . . I guess the only thing bothering me is the new FES . . . Maria . . . Maria bothered me before she was FES . . . before, it was just the way she talked to people/employees and the fact that she was on the phone way more than she should have been . . . nothing too bad . . . it was just something that bothered me . . . now though . . . almost every time that I've called her to come unlock the tubes at returns, she's just sent some random cashier over to do it . . . she's send Lili twice and Susui once . . . and Margo once . . . . when she sent Margo, I could understand . . . there were long lines at the front end and Maria was stuck on a register . . . but the other times, I don't know of any reason that she couldn't come down . . .
I guess that bothers me 'cause if she's gonna do that, there's really no reason that the tubes should be locked anyway . . . I mean, it's the head cashier's responsibility to lock and unlock the tubes . . . that's why they're the only ones that have the keys . . .
Then, I was on my last break today and I went to go sit in the misters in outside garden . . . and Maria came out there and told me that I had to take my break in the breakroom or outside on the bleachers or
something . . . only because she said someone mentioned to her that it appeared as if I might be talking to the cashiers and keeping them from their work . . . I told her that I don't like the break room . . . and it was too hot on the bleachers . . . that I don't keep them from doing their work 'cause I wouldn't want someone keeping me from doing my work . . .
If I take my breaks in the break room, I get restless and I just can't sit there . . . I get restless sitting on the bleachers too . . . Most the time I don't really take breaks . . . I take breaks from being on the register, but then I go out and do other work stuff . . . either helping people find things, or little stuff like making signs . . . or even the pk stuff since I never get any scheduled time to do that . . . Barry almost didn't let me take the last test, 'cause I let him know it was my break time accidently . . . and I argued with him 'cause if I didn't do it on my break, then it'd never get done 'cause we don't have enough coverage ever . . .
If it wasn't for the fact that I've been talking to Dan a lot lately about some head cashier stuff, then I'd probably ask to transfer to Special Services or something . . . and I'm still thinking about it anyway . . .
I -liked- Gemma as FES . . . I wasn't too happy when she went to paint . . . 'cause I knew somehow that Maria was gonna be FES . . . though there are a few cashiers who have already talked to Marc about that . . . so he knows that people are already unhappy about Maria being there . . . I know at least one of the head cashiers are unhappy with it too . . . maybe even two . . . I would have liked to see Tina get the FES position . . . but that's me personally . . .
The only other thing that was bugging me today was that there's something bothering Dawn (the cashier trainer) today . . . and she was not being very pleasant to me . . . bordering on rude . . . and I haven't done anything at all to deserve that . . .
I'm begining to thing that maybe I should just come to work . . . not talk to anyone but the customers and the emplyees only when necessary . . . and leave directly after work . . . and not talk to anyone on my breaks . . . and all that . . . maybe that's the only way I can keep people off my back . . .
But anyway . . . *smiles* . . . that's a rather long rant I think . . . sorry about that.
