You know you want to.

I have a new layout by minty_peach. I hardly update so I don't know why this is important, but it is. I am hoping to one day turn into a witty and avid blogger and hoping the layout of my blog will inspire me to do so. Maybe, just maybe. Anyway I have to get ready for work.

PS. I had an amazing night last night. That is all.

Ok so I have to be at work in little over an hour. I hate these early shifts! I just need to get that out loud and clear. I like closing. I am probably one of the few people who doesn't care that they get nights for an entire week. But no, not so lucky all the time. Once in a while (like for the lat 2 weeks -- in a row) I close on Sunday night only to be back at a highly unreasonable hour on Monday. & then because Monday is Truck Day, I work 10 hours. Yeah, today is 8a-6p.

So apparently the employee I mentioned before on this post told another Supervisor that she doesn't like me because I am mean to her and treat her like a slave like Rosa Parks. Does anyone see anything wrong in that statement? Like maybe the fact that Rosa Parks was not a slave but a leader of the modern civil rights movement?? This is the shit I have to deal with when I work with this person. She was even touting this in front of customers. Next time she pulls some attitude on me or isn't doing her damn job, she's going home and when she comes in for her next shift she is going to have a talk with my manager because I am sick of her bullshit.

I think I feel a little better now.

For some reason after waking up with a bitching attitude, once I get some coffee in me I get great joy out of such small pleasures. & yes, I wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning. It's just my nature. But coffee comes and she fixes it for me so the rest of the world can see the softer happier side of Sarah. If coffee ever depleted in my lifetime, it would be a very cold day in hell for me. Yes, yes it would.

In other news, sometimes I feel like I don't know what the hell I am doing at work. I will have tasks for myself and my employees to complete before the night is over and sometime between my shift, I lose focus and feel like "what the hell am I doing??!!". This might be natural until I get a routine down, but it's driving me nuts. Or it might just be that I am developing Adult Attention Deficit Disorder because, you know, it's much cooler to have a disorder than just come out with the fact that I am new to this position of authority and have yet to get into the natural swing of things.

If I could only remember! Yeah, the eve of New Years was awesome. I went to Adam's where I met up with Nicole and David and then from there I ran into people I hadn't seen in years. Sometimes it was, "Hey! How ya been?? I'm so happy to see you," and then other times it was, "Hey. What's up? Cool," and walk away. But the truly fun times were had by interesting conversations between myself and the people I just met. But that's just gibberish so we won't go into that.

BUT! The piece de resistance ( must be said in american-french accent to truly appreciate ) was the pissing match between Nicole and Anthony that raged on a good portion of the night. & yes, I went there. Nicole may not have a penis, but she sure has some cajones and knows how to use them. The guy really couldn't take the heat thus leading to Nicole 110% A+ and him 0. So he flunked out and fun was had by all. I truly wish I had been sporting a video camera so I could show Nicole just how entertaining it all was.

My holiday was most excellent. I got a watch from my mom and an initial pendant from my sister and some PJ's.

Soon I must get ready for work. I work 11 to 7 and tomorrow I work 10 to 7. That's going to be a loooong day. But we have a truck coming so we all have to work 10 hours. Well not the employees, but all of management which surprisingly includes myself. I like it and all, it just still feels kind of odd that now I tell people what to do. OR to put it more nice, I give them work to do.

So far I only have issue with one employee. & the other night I think I handled it pretty well. I basically told them I didn't appreciate the fact that she was sitting down between customers when she could be working and that if it were up to me I would have chalked all that up to being her break, but I am legally bound to giver her a half hour. She took it pretty well and at first I was scared that she wasn't going to come back after her break, but she did. She got points for that. & then I knew we were back to normal a couple hours later when she asked what time she'd be getting out and I told her as long as it took her to finish her tasks. You should have seen the look I got. I walked away smirking, to be honest.
