So I posted on FaceBoook that I have a blog and basically dared people to find it. :) Who knows if anyone really cares enough to find it, let alone to read it.
I talked to the owner of McD's yesterday and he asked me if I had talked to Wendy about my reduced hours and change in duties. I said yes but that I'm really not a lobby person and that I would take a couple of weeks and think about it. I also told him that there were 2 people who made my working environment a living hell and that I wasn't gonna name them. He's a new owner so he doesn't know anyone and I'm not gonna badmouth fellow employees. that's just rude and so unprofessional.
On another note Matthew is coming to visit for xmas, we pick him up from my brother Percy's house on Tuesday. Not sure how long he is staying.
Later and Be Well

Work
Here is a ranting post.
I work at McDonald's, and it is supposed to be a fun place to work or at least stress free, but for some reason this one has two ladies who go out of their way to make my life miserable. Now I suffer from migraines, I hadn't had one in about a year and suddenly they are starting to come back and stronger than before. Before we moved back to our hometown I had a headache for about 2 years. I was what I liked to call a 'functioning migraine' The pain was a part of my everyday life and my family had to tiptoe around me, I didn't smile much those days.
I've called in sick when my headaches get to the point of where I can't see, seriously. I've also called in when my youngest has been sick, he's only 9 and can't stay home by himself. But back to my rant.
One of the ladies has threatened to quit about this stating that she has to work twice as hard even when I am there. It's got to the point that I let her do what she wants and say what she wants cause if I say anything she starts laughing and saying that is not how it is done and she knows how it is done.
The other one is the one who trained me and with her, she treats me like I am a moron who can't remember anything that was ever said to me. Heaven forbid I think for myself and act on it with out her express approval. She is the 'Brewmeister' of work and spends her time "dealing with coffee and making sure we have enough for counter and drive thru". There could be a line up of people waiting to be served and she spends 5 minutes rinsing out a coffee pot and standing in front of the coffee station so the customers have to wait to be served. Saying "Excuse me" does not work and I will not resort to pushing her out of the way. If I say anything about getting some help from her with the line up her response is "If I don't keep making coffee we will run out and they will have to wait anyway" And the other lady is saying that I should be able to handle the customers by myself anyway and to let the 'V' do what she does best.
I have no problem with lineups of customers but she goes out of her way to make sure she' does not help with them, or helps with a select few.
An example is from yesterday. 2 men were talking in the lobby, I asked if either one had been served 1 said ' V is getting it for me'. So I took the other ones order, made it and he paid for it. All the while V is still puttering around and NOT getting cust 1's coffee. And she knows what each regular cust has in their coffee (god forbid if I get it wrong). So I ask him again if he wants anything and again he says V is getting it. I ask V if she was getting his coffee and she said "no", she thought he was with the cust I served since they were talking while waiting to get served.
So I'm not on the schedule for the next couple of weeks, I'm to take the time to think about the other hours the manager offered me. later in the day and a lobby shift to boot. I'm sorry but I do not do lobby. Hubby says to just look for another job and to blast V and MF. Me, I say I'm not like that and hubby replies that I'm way to nice to people who are assholes and bitches. To which I reply "I'm the better person by not stooping to their level of pettiness".
Well enough for the rant now, I feel a little better for having vented it.

Government
So today I was checking all my regular websites to see what's happening. and I come across an article about Hydro Ontario. Needless to say I think the company needs to be held accountable and maybe have an outside administrator overseeing things, but then they'd just raise the rates again and blame it on that. Sometimes there is no winning.
In other news, we got the expansion for world of warcraft on Tuesday and hubby and I started playing it at 2am. Yeah I know we're nerds, or geeks. I must say that I like the changes made with this one. Especially with dungeon quests. No more traveling all over hell and back.
That's it for today.

Pay it Forward day...
So I was just going thru the blogs I regularly read and I notice that Shrinn has posted about paying it forward. Well this is something that Dwayne and I do on a regular basis, I didn't know that there was particular day for it. Dwayne calls it karma, that what you give out to other people will come back to you, or the secret. :)
On other fronts hubby and I have made alts and are leveling together, just something to do before the Warcraft Expansion comes out on December 7/2010. I'm doing the digital download and I have that day off so I can start playing at 12:01 am. The only question is am I gonna make a Worgen or a Goblin first......hmmmm.......that's hard to say. I will make both but with what classes i have no idea :S oh well I'll figure it all out.
later all and be well
