I had to sweep and mop the washroom today. It's never
been mopped before and it has more junk in it than a college boy's
dorm (pardon the stereotype). Needless to say it took a while.
At work it was raining a little, but Andy and Robert were there
so the carts were kept up pretty well among the 3 of us. Melissa
didn't seem to want to talk to me today which isn't like her. I was
beginning to think that maybe I talked to her too much and she was
starting to show her annoyance with me like a lot of the other girls
I know when I talk to them a lot. I finally did, however, get a
chance to talk to her and it seemed like she was trying to be nice
but she was quick to be sarcastic. She did finally tell me that
she's just not in the mood today, and it was a combination of many
things including a certain time of the month. I asked if I should
let her be alone, and she said it would probably be the best thing
since she feels she might lash out at anyone and she woudn't want it
to be me, though there are a lot of other people she would rather
tell to go away than me. She was quite polite, though, for being in a
bad mood, like when I helped her out with her straightening up. The
rest of the day I didn't talk to her, and felt like she avoided eye
contact if I had a job that involved walking past her area. I'm not
too worried about it, though, I just don't like when people are
feeling bad, and I want to cheer them up or at least help them out
with something, and it's a disappointment when the best thing I can
do is do nothing. Well, enough about my issues.
Assistant Manager Katrina didn't miss any opportunity to question
me about the condition of the parking lot, and to remind me of my
job description. That was very annoying, and even more so when
Support Manager Mark did the same. People! I know my job! I do my
job! Go bother someone else! (well, not Melissa, she's having a bad
day) So, I did carts, and I would be told to do something else, and
when I would do that something else, I would be told that there were
carts in the parking lot. People! We have customers! Lots of them!
Of course there are carts in the parking lot! Customers don't stop
when I'm bringing carts in. Okay, so anyway I got ALL (yeah, ALL the
carts off the parking lot, since Mark reminded me to) and went
inside to see what was to be done. Jay is usually around Toys that
time of night so I went over there and asked Carly if she had seen
him. She hadn't, but she welcomed my help. After we clocked out, I
asked, "Do you mind?" and she said, "No." So she took me home in her
dad's huge pickup truck since it just came back from the shop and he
asked her to drive it to make sure it worked okay. Andrea's in here
right now and complaining about the icky sound of my typing while
she's playing the video game, lol. No one in my family likes to hear
my typing.
