8 HOURS LABOUR

Since when does a man go into labor?

Nah, nah - he's spending eight hours a day as a member of the ruling parliamentary party in the U.K. Probably in preparation for Tony Blair's departure.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

I hate the light (or lack) of winds tonight. To make it worse, there were termites hovering around the lights and I got attacked by them. The people inside didn't know how good they had it (I wanted to just lay down on the floor and sleep).

Hopefully tomorrow won't be as bad, or else someone will be grumpy.

(oh, and the cart mule was fixed, but it now has to be controlled manually - which means slow speeds but atleast we're not suffering) (for the record, it took a little over 8 weeks to get it fixed)

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

I put a pan of water under a light. The termites went for the reflection of the light bulb and dove right in ............

I do this every year around swarming time.

This is probably in this thread somewhere but Im posting it as my pet peeve......."modified/souped up mopeds!! OMG, there was a pack of em last night of about 6 or 8 and they were going back and forth just irritating me to no end. I was in bed, close to midnight and these things were just sooooo annoying.

Dear Adrain, Termites do not attack Humans! Termites are BLIND. Termites fly towards light because of the heat. It may seem they are attacking you because they fly blind. You may have a few land on you but not the whole swarm.

I got the above information from an Expert!

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

Working as a cashier I sooooooooo HATE with a passion when Guests aka customers dunno HT wait their turn when they need to ask a question and YOURE thee one to ask. I am ringing up someone and my attention is focused on them...
Someone comes by or asks me a question and expecting a answer in return.
Nice guy me I will respond with a YES or a NO....
IF they don't get it they insist that my attention to the person I am still ringing should be shifted to them!


I get asked a lot to hold PAID items being that I work in Lawn & Garden so that they can get da CAH so they can pu in sai their stuff....

Well this particular guest/customer sends their daughter in and she's keeps goin to me..

The Hilo WalMart has trash cans in the parking lot. Home Depot doesn't.

There is, but like the cart bins, they're scattered (but some are near the bins). So, like the cart bins, its just a matter of people finding them and utilizing them for their correct purpose.


And you can put me in a room full of elderly people who needs their incontinence briefs changed, or in a bathroom full of backed up feces, but once I see and smell barf, I can barf myself. There was 2 barf messes at the entrance of our store tonight, one was cleaned up, but the other (which was right infront of the exit door) was sitting there for a few hours. I had to literally run away from that area, only to return while bringing in carts with my coworkers.

Weird, because the cart crew was fully staffed (3 people working) but the other departments weren't (the maintenance guy was on another duty)


Oh, and yay for gates! I backed up into one while I was reversing into my parking spot last week - I didn't notice the dent until I was at the beach yesterday. After I bumped the gate, I thought I ruined my rear lights, but they were fine to me. Atleast it wasn't a mirror...

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

I Hope that this doesn't sound like an old repetition of my last rant.. But....

This is my mngr's last day today at work, but I wasn't even scheduled to work today, but she asked me to come in early, oh about 5 am, & she picked up today, too.

I asked her Thursday how long she wanted me to stay seeing as I wasn't even scheduled to work today, & she said when ever I wanted to leave, so I chose to leave around noon.

So...

in the morning it was just me while as my manager had to go to to the main storage to get some stuff, I was left with tending to other customers while I had to run & do the things I was required to do!!.

Let me tell you, it was hard work to do 2 things at the same time which it felt like it at the time!!.

Perhaps when she does leave, it will turn out differently as the DM will be the one to do the new schedulings.

You know how you have your battery life in your cell phone?
I have the X495, which has the bar on the left top corner of the screen.

Well, at the end of the day, I felt like I was running on less that 1 battery life on my phone. I got so burned out.

I end up stretching my energy way too thin by running around at work today because I ended up being by myself without help .

Around noon, I was just sooo glad that my hubby called me to pick me up & bring me home, which technically, saved he day for me.

Around 11:45 am, my manager wanted to me to do this & that, so therefore, I had to remind her that it was almost time for me to go which she understood, because my hubby was picking me up. Woo hoo. Thankgoodness for that.

Unfortunetly I wont have much time to rest on saturday, because I will be working again .

With all the work I am given with more hours, doesn't realy mean much to me because at this point, I would rather have less hours which makes me a happier person. .

Hopefully when the DM starts giving out the hours to everyone, things will start calming down for me & less hours. Hopefully.

btw - the DM has asked my manager to work part time in our company when she is off on her families new business, so I don't know how that will work out for either of them

Aloha.

Oh by the way....

When my managaer told me on Thursday that she would pick me up on Friday, & she told me the time (I think it was 5 am, but I wasn't sure). So...

Thursday night when I asked her again (text her on her phone) what time was she picking me up, & her reply was "4:30 am on Friday". so...

I was ready by 4:30 am, & waited outrside by the driveway of our apartment, 15 minutes went by & she wasn't even there!!.

So I text by telling her to let me know when she is downstairs, because I was getting cold waiting.

So, when she finally arrived, it was 5: am!!.

She should have told me 5: am, so I c ould have gotten more sleep!!. but..., what~ever!!.

Aloha, any ways.

gotta go to work this morning. =(

Byeee.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

Today I am angry that the mall I work at took the public trashcan away from my area & now people leave thier trash on my kiosk, or in my tiny little trashcan, & their trash always consists of messy foods which are now attracting flies.

This pisses me off a great deal. We've complained, but nothing has been done. They simply do not care.

I wish it was that easy!. Now, we are short handed =( . I think 5 people including me, & we have not any other people come in to apply. =(

Yes, I know that it is not my problem & duty to stay, although, I do feel kinda bad that they are short handed so I help out with the days & hours I chose, & yes also I know that I will feel it physically & mentally later.
