Topic: Why my job sucks..

[UncleBob]

So, there's this crazy old man who comes in and tries to tell me things like how all the water in the US is owned by the British...

[BlackNMild2k1]

Well, I own 80% of the air in china. I traded some guy the Golden Gate bridge for it after I won it in a poker game.

[Plugabugz]

That's the funniest part. Hospitals, caring for people? Hahahahaha!!! Next you're going to tell me that lawyers, priests, and politicians are there to care for and support people when they need it!

I know... such a trainwreck!

[EasyCure]

No. I've seen all the documentation including the papers that show inheritance of one of the properties. I just need a mortgage statement showing the Loan #, Loan amount, payment and rate on it. It was a basic document needed to do a loan on a property. THeirs was a complicated file and she gave me all the unusual documents but couldn't give me the basic document that is always needed in every loan that I asked for from the beginning.

I know how you feel when it comes to customers being stubborn about simple documentation. Luckily I don't have to deal with it too directly, but it still irritates me when a customer throws a fit around here when, for instance, the parts dept. asks to see a drivers license and registration when they come to order a key. What could've taken seconds of just reaching in a pocket or purse to pull out what they asked for becomes a 20 minute shouting match for no other reason than being stubborn.

As for my job sucking.. well I'm back to work after my little weekend vacation, and from all the reports I'm hearing, this place fell apart without me. I have a huge box worth of paper work to catch up on and I'm thinking of throwing it on the supervisors desk and demanding a raise (for the second time). I'm not sure if I should do it now though.. perhaps I should wait until december when I've officially been an employee under the new owner for 1 whole year..?

My cousin called me out of the blue yesterday and left a voicemail about having a potential job for me. I don't remember what the hell he does or where he works, but I know he's making decent money so perhaps I'll just try my luck there and give this place the finger.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I say find out what you cousin does and what job stability would be like.
Then wait till dec. if possible and ask for your raise.
If they say no, then tell them you have another offer on the table and if he has 1 week to make a decision.
If after 1 week the answer is still no, then they can consider that week the 1st week of your 2 week notice.

Thats what my plan of action would've been but I'm sure that the position won't be held for such a long period of time. Seeing as he's family I'm sure he can get some pull for me but 3 months is too much to ask for. I have to wait until after work to give him a call about it since my phone is currently dead, so lets cross our fingers!

[Maverick]

I got switched to overnight and told that even though I'm the best part-time employee they have they can't promote me to full time 'cause they have too many full-timers already.

Hurray for Dead End Job With Shitty Hours And Poor Compensation!

[BeautifulShy]

What do you do?

[BlackNMild2k1]

What do you do?

[Maverick]

What do you do?

Retail.  One step above Fast Food, one giant leap to a decent life.

A landed a dream job (even if it was temporary) and just up and quit. Even during my last two weeks that place was a nightmare;

the manager tried to dig up dirt on me, but all the employees liked me more than him so they snitched (to me) so instead of letting **** slide like everyone else did in that place, I went to the District Manager and told her what he was trying to do, and all the other fucked up **** he's done that everyone was afraid to say. She "launched an investigation" and had him removed from the store the next day he came in, and we never saw him again. Asshole.

Then, with their store manager gone, and their pt. asst. manager (me) leaving, right before halloween (the second biggest time of year for them) they BEGGED me to stay a couple of extra weeks, and I told them the other job would be priority and they understand, so I helped them out thru xmas. The other job you ask? NINTENDO WORLD STORE IN NYC BIOTCH! I was there for wii launch.. so much awesomeness...

*joygasm*

Anywho, my current job sucks and I'm lucky enough to have an interview today. Huzzah!

[Maverick]

Damn.  Sounds like your experience is worse than mine.  I actually like all the people I work with, even though everyone overnight may in fact be clinically insane.

Slightly good news, apparently bitching on Nintendo forums yields results, as I am being transferred to another store and getting back day shifts, with a possibility of promotion.

[EasyCure]

Hip hip hooray! See kids, bitching pays off!

[Maverick]

Oh yeah, and I never win the lottery, that part sucks about my job!

Please work. 

[bustin98]

If I ever won the lottery, I'd throw a kick ass party for all the regulars here. I'd pay for your vacation time and fly you all out here. Pinky swear. We'd take over Cedar Point for a day and if you're old enough head downtown Cleveland for the bars and clubs. Oh yeah.

Its funny, i've thought the same thing. Aside from a nice place to live and a few fancy things like a nice NEW car and some shiny new guitars.. i wouldn't really know what to do with a grand lotto winning. I'd be the type to spread the wealth, so yes I would fly out all the regulars here (you know who you are) to some sweet party with just us (plus 1 guest).

Now that you promised it first, if i ever win the lotto AFTER bustin, i don't owe you guys ****!

[Maverick]

Even with yearly payments, lotto winnings are huge.  It's such a ridiculous amount of money to get annually that I wouldn't know what to do with it with my middle class upbringing.  I'd have to use some of the money to take a trip out to Malibu or something to learn how to really spend like a jackass.

So you get to forum members who admit they'd want tp spend their winnings to meet up and have fun with the rest of the regular forum goers here... and you say you don't know how you'd spend it? Jerkface.

[Maverick]

Getting everyone together and having fun for a day or two doesn't come anywhere close to the kind of money state lotteries usually involve.

Unless of course we're hosting the official "NWR I'm Rich Bitch!" party in orbit or something.

You trying to blow the entire wad in one shot?

I'd fly everyone* to somewhere nice where the clubs stay open late. You +1 if your married, +2 if your single. A 3 day weekend of fun with a whole floor of a hotel rented out just for us.

*Forum regulars and all the staff that I recognize by forum name.
Not to mention 10-20 of my closest friends.

[Stogi]

**** you guys. If I had that much money, I'd be the world's richest bum.

This^ But i'd have a "tiku tiku" room for:

a. the underage
b. the prudes
c. the unsocial

which would include: A giant screen for every Nintendo console made to date and that big round DS station that the Nintendo World Store has so you could all engage in some friendly Nintendo related activities. Innoffensive music would play (video game soundtracks..), giant soda fountains (no not the kind at fast food chains, i'm talking a REAL fountain) and all the chips n dip you can eat.

What the "tiku tiku" room wouldn't have is:

Drinking and *EXPLICATIVE*, good party music to dance to, bumping n grinding, pool tables with a floating glass floor above themw here go-go girls are dancing*, drinking and *EXPLICATIVE*, and... what am i forgetting? Oh, the general FUNHOUSE type environment that the main party room would have.

*This is an idea a friend and i had for our dream pool hall. Do not steal it.

[Stogi]

Would you have lights on the bottom of the glass?
