in case I had any doubts

Here's the picture I was going to post last time.

After going to work yesterday, I really have no reason to regret my decision to find another job. The whole day was further proof that nothing is ever going to change there.

I got there about 10 min. early so I was taking a leisurely stroll to the back. I walk in and there is no one there and the buzzer for the backdoor was going off. I go to the door and yell through that I need to go get the key. I then have to cross the entire store to get the key...which is in the locked room that I don't remember the entrance code for. One of the manager's comes in and I get the code and get the key.

I let in UPS and as she's delivering I ask one of our shelvers if he's seen anyone in receiving this morning. He says no. I call a manager and ask where my peeps are. She says Jinn has called off sick and that she just saw TJ, but he's in Duane's office (I'm presuming being talked to about taking my job).

This always happens. They never call me in early or leave me any sort of note letting me know what is going on. TJ's schedule got changed, but no one marked the schedule (I checked). Then my least favorite employee comes to the back. The conversation went like this:

"Michelle?" (insert breathy, whiny voice here)

"Yeah?"

"A hardcover fiction book, 3 copies, came in on the 25th..."

I interrupt. "I don't know where it is; I wasn't here."

In a put off, petulant manner she continues, "I just thought you might know where I could look for it..."

(Hmmm...let's see you dumb bitch, you could look in any of the places I've mentioned the other hundred million times you've asked me the same question.)

"Well, since my first day back was yesterday, I can't say where exactly it is but I would recommend looking (I then run off a list of the usual suspects)...otherwise, beats the heck out of me..." I return to work and she wanders for a few more seconds then grouses off.

Added bonus to the day:

Store mail didn't go out--don't know if that's because Skippy didn't get all the paperwork back in time or if UPS was missed because no one was in back when they arrived because...

Evening person was scheduled for 2, but didn't come in until 3:40. Also discovered while checking receiving box count numbers that this person didn't do anything for just over an hour. Hmmm...too busy texting? I'll just say that I will be writing something up to go in this person's file. Not saying that anyone will be checking the file, but it will be there anyway.

Finally, I called benefits to find out what vacation time I have left that might end up on my final paycheck and it seems no one entered my vacation time from last week. It's all just more of the same.
