I worked today...9-5

The store manager ("B") also worked today, nearly the same hours. This is a woman who felt compelled to fire me in July. After I sat out nearly a whole month, I finally worked up enough courage to go talk to the owner of the place. She was not too happy with my side of the story. She went to "B" and found that I was truthful in my story. They offered me the job back, yet at another location. Long story short, "B" has been transferred to my "new" store, and I am again miserable.

Today was stressful, as have been the last few days. Not enough crew on the schedule, and too many customers in the door. Not that I usually complain about being busy, but when the customers start throwing sandwiches at me, I start losing my patience too.

Anyway, I was told I could transfer to yet another location, so I would not have to work with "B". The location they offered is a long way from home, and it is WINTER. I do not want to drive that far from home, in the snowy/dark conditions. The Jeep gets 15 MPG, and my BMW R1200C gets 50MPG. It is the wrong time of year for a 45 minute motorcycle ride for me. I told them that I would try to stick it out until spring.

Well, today, I sent the other store manager a text, saying it might be sooner, rather than later, for that transfer. She was also texting another person, and sent a reply meant for me, to my supervisor. It stated that "B" was being bitchy to me. Then I get a call from the supervisor...I know I did not convince him that she was mistaken on how bad things are. I did tell hom that in fact, I don't think "B" even realized there was a problem. He offered to come and have a chat with the three if us together. omg...I don't want more trouble with this woman, I just want to be able to up and leave, without a hassle one day. Serioulsy, I don't make enough money to have that much stress at this job, but I don't have enough education to do much else. I get paid half decent for what it is, I get full benefits, and four paid weeks of vacation per year. I like that one day, I can call the owner, and say, "What time do I work at that far away store tomorrow?" and to hell with "B"...

So tonight, I want to play that new Wii game. Since I have never even turned the Wii on, I don't want an audience. I also don't want someone to do everything for me, and I don't want someone sitting nearby, explaining each step to me. I waited for Mike to go outside to have his cigarette, and I got the thing on, and the video button on the tv to the correct choice...then...I could not locate the game. Really, I looked everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. He came inside, and I was still looking. egads...I then came to the computer, and decided to let you all know how my day has gone. I hope he goes to bed soon, so I can try again. I see that he has a special spot on the DVD shielf for the Wii games now. I bet that game is there...at least it isn't a complete failure, I found the "spot"...
