FRUSTRATED!

at this point i am going to admit that i will be venting in this post and if you dont want to read on about my frustrations please stop reading this now.

i will start with saying that i worked 2nd shift last night and went in for 1st shift today... which means i had 5 hours sleep inbetween.... starting with that you can imagine that i might not be in the most chipper mood at work today.

well anywho, today was a maditory meeting day - and i AGAIN had to watch the children instead of getting to partake in the meeting which to be quite frank sucks because not only do i NOT learn anything for our training, or get info on the kids, i have to sit and watch all 16 of them, and THEN i have to make up the meeting minutes AND the training that i missed during another shift! not only that but i have missed the last 3 manditory meetings (today making the 4th) in a ROW only one of which was i actually GONE for (i was in colorado) the other 2 i had to watch said children! why is it that I am the only part time staff singled out to watch the children every meeting?! i have no fucking clue.... ok so as if that didnt suck- i was scheduled till 3, the meeting that i didnt even get to go to lasted till 430, and THEN we had another mandatory part time meeting AFTER that which lasted till 5! so i was at work for 2 hours over my scheduled time on a day where i was already wanting NOT to be there!

hmm.... so at the meeting the supervisors talked about how we needed to make ourselves more avaliable because if we dont they are hiring more part time workers which will in turn take away from our hours that we are currenly getting.... and i was thinking to myself well lets see, i ask off for thurs 2nd & 3rd shifts because i work at the bar- i then ask off for friday all 3 because i work at the bar, and i ask off for sat 1st because when i work at the bar friday nights i dont get home till after 230am sometimes and i would have to get up at 530am to go back to work 1st shift.... and thats ALL! im available for everything else and for someone that has 2 part time jobs, i didnt think that availability was too bad.... ok well after the meeting i look and see that there is a new schedule posted in the log for the next 2 weeks, and i print myself a copy and get the fuck off of there on my way HOME....

ok so here's the REAL kicker! on the schedule for the next 2 weeks i work 3 shifts and one on-call shift! YEP OUT OF 14 DAYS (thats 42 shifts) i work 3 of them! WFT is that?! im available all those shifts except thurs and friday and sat mornings and i get 3! and they have the nerve to say that i need to make myself more available?! WTF for if you dont even schedule me anyway?! ohmygawd .... they are so lucky that i didnt see the schedule prior to our meeting or they would have gotten an ear full from me and i prolly would be with out that job .....

in the meantime i think i will go have a glass of wine....so i can gain some sort of releif from the anger i am currently feeling... and if that does not work - i will be headed to the bar - even thought i have to be back at work at 7am ...(ie getting up at 530am)

ok for those of you who stuck thru that long rant ... i love you!
