M.I.A.

Hiii!!

So it's been a few days since I've posted and I've just been pretty busy and will be for the next week! I missed two pretty cute outfits that I put together today and yesterday :( My camera is broken so I never think to take pictures of my outfits and I am usually so ready to just get into comfy clothes that I just rip the outfit off as soon as I'm home.

Anywho! Yesterday I went to meet with Famous Footwear and the manager said that he really wants to put me on as part-time, but he thinks that all his part-time positions are filled and I would only be put on as Seasonal, which means I can only work for 90 consecutive days...also, even if I was put on as part-time, he said I'd only be getting like 1-2 shifts a week :/ That's just not going to work out for me. I need to be able to go grocery shopping and shop for like shampoo and toothpaste and things like that and I can't do that and go out to eat or get gas or treat myself to something nice every once in awhile with 1-2 4 hour shifts a week. But I also put all my apps back in at:
Forever 21
Francesca's
Claire's
Icing
Wet Seal
Journey's
and Plato's Closet (for the second time)

I just really need something to work out...like NOW!


Which brings me to how horrible my current job is right now. On Monday night, I was closing with Joey (who knows what he's doing and has been at Firehouse for over a year now and I just really enjoy working with him) and Divvia (who's been there for like maybe almost a year or like 9-10 months, and even though she's kinda slow, she knows what she's doing and can actually make sandwiches). I have worked with at least 1 new person every shift I've had for the past 3 weeks and I'm just sick of having to constantly show people what to do and have to take on more responsibility than I already have....

Which brings me back to Monday. I got to work like 10 minutes early and was hanging out in the back until I realized that they were getting kind of busy (it was a new girl and another manager by themselves) so I went up to help. The store was trashed and Amber (the manager whom no one likes at work) was telling me about all the extra slicing she had to do because she underestimated in the morning and how busy it was all day, blah blah blah. So I forgot to clock-in, which meant I clocked in like 5-6 minutes late (which really isn't a big deal) and then Divvia comes in and Amber goes in the back to do the paperwork she needs to do and makes the deposit and whatever. So she sends Meagan (the new girl) home around 4:20ish. Amber comes out ready to leave (the store is still a disaster) and I ask her if I need to do night prep and produce and she says yes. So she leaves and I go to look at the schedule for that day and I see that Amber and Brandon (her fiance who also is a manager) were supposed to be there til 4, Meagan was supposed to be off at 2 and another new kid Drew was scheduled til 3...HOW DOES MEAGAN HAVE TO STAY 2 HOURS LATE, YET BRANDON'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND AND DREW HAD BEEN SENT HOME?!?!?
Well, basically Amber had left me a super long note about everything that hadn't been done, which included THE TRASH NOT BEING TAKEN OUT FROM SUNDAY NIGHT! Like what even?
Well, even though we weren't busy, we were way behind with having to try to recover from everything that hadn't been done before and so like 25 minutes before we close,  we called in Donnie (a manager in training) to come help us close. He was there for like 10 minutes before my boss called him and told him to "clock out and leave the store". I was in the cooler doing the daily count during this whole call. My boss didn't even ask to speak to me.
Needless to say, I was incredibly upset for the rest of the shift and was in shock with how surprisingly well and "early" (40 minutes after close) we got out. I sent my boss a very unhappy text and he didn't even seem to care....

So I go to work in about 45 minutes and my boss should be there, so we'll see what happens.

Sincerely,
Shannon
