Technically speaking I shouldn't be blogging right now, seeing as I'm at work, but hey I'm off the clock for an hour or so. Why? Well, this kind of started last night.

Jenny came to me, to talk to me about my hours next week, in regards to Christmas Eve, which I had volunteered to work. She was going to have me open the store, which I have yet to do, but Mike, her boss, said no for two reasons:

1) I haven't had my drug test yet so I'm not officially a shift runner yet, therefore I can't run the store because my numbers don't matter worth anything to the system. I can't do half the shit I need to be able to do.

2) I haven't opened the store yet so as far as he's concerned I don't know what to do.

Okay... I haven't had my drug test yet because MIKE hasn't scheduled it yet, like he was supposed to almost two weeks ago. I'm trying to have him schedule it on one of my days off so I don't have to pay for a trip to Acworth, then one to Marietta, then one more to work that same day. That's $15 for one day when I could spend only $5 if he would have it scheduled for me. Then the only trip I would have to make is to Mariettta. Jenny and I have both been on his ass to get it done and he has yet to. He only has himself to blame.

And it's true, I don't know how to go through and open the store as a manager, only as a driver or insider doing prep for the day. I am learning how to from the computer training I mentioned recently, but I also learn better by doing. So, back to last night...

Jenny is telling me all of this because she wanted me to open, and Tanner to close, because she has her whole family coming to town for a giant get together on Christmas Day. Naturally she wants the full day off, and I don't blame her. Here's why she's mad though. Mike won't let me open, Dylan has the day off, and Mike is trying to send Tanner to another store so that manager can have the day off. So no Tanner, no Dylan, and I can't officially open or close, means Jenny would have to pull an open to close while another manager at another store gets special treatment. I'd be pissed too.

So, how did all of this lead to me mentioning being off the clock? I got really upset for Jenny so, instead of staying late last night to get more computer training in, I went home and went to bed as early as I could so she could bring me in with her to open the store and get that hands on training in. So now I know how to open... Still need the drug test.

I was already scheduled to work today from 4 to almost 9 so Jenny's letting me get a good sized break in before clocking back in. And I downloaded the Blogger app so I'm giving you guys this little blog via the app.

I am going to hop off of here and get more computer training in though.
