Things that piss you off

[Tifabelle]

LET'S ALL HAVE A SEXY PARTY.

 

[Ghost X]

- I've been given a weekend assignment =(. Its a weekend group assignment too, which requires participation of other members for me to complete it. Thus far, such participation does not exist. I'm not even sure how detailed I've got to be in my sections. I should've asked these questions .

[Arianna]

When I really have to move it to get my heart rate up when I exercise, but yet I see other people who are just swaying on a rest area board or hardly moving a machine.

 

[Hisako]

They're watching all the fireplaces and searching all your owls.

It isn't safe to talk here, Harry.

 

[Joe]

Hide yo' wands, Hide yo' elfs.

All I have is my tiny mirror to talk to Sirius ;.;

 

[Joker]

Ironically, the other thing bothering me is that I really wish I had someone to talk to.

I'd talk to you if your damn internet wasn't so dead.

I assume you don't want to bother with PMs.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

I need MSN so I can talk to you guys as well; when I'm off work and on the comp I'm always open to chat. I'll see if I can get my account set up.

 

[Joker]

YOU WILL DO JUST THAT >:3

Also, that's correct, Dacon. Bluh.

I figured that the utter incompetence of the coworker mentioned above would change. It did. It got worse. I spent from 6:20 until 11:40 shelving, minus a couple of breaks that ate up about an hour (I wouldn't ordinarily have taken that long, but I needed it), and got less than ten shelves done because things were in such atrocious condition. On a cart with two shelves' worth of books, I counted no less than ten items that were categorised in the wrong place. And it was obvious shit. I mean, they had a book about Oregon in the section for Hawaii, and they had a book about Hawaii in the section for the Pacific Northwest, and they had a book about German in the English as a Second Language section, and the list goes on like that. It was so bad that the manager told me to take a portable data device around to scan all the items and make sure that everything was in the right place. Which I did, but needless to say it slowed me down ridiculously.

The fiction cart was even worse. In mystery, sci-fi, and romance, anything not modelled for a specific number of items in the store is supposed to go on a different cart than the one I shelved. I counted at least six such items on the cart. Beyond that, there was of course the matter of authors being put in the wrong section. We had romance authors in sci-fi, sci-fi authors in mystery, mystery authors in fiction, etc.

Anyway, I got maybe ten shelves done total. In a little over four hours' worth of shelving. I have never shelved that slowly, and it is certainly not my fault. Nevertheless, I was getting so pissed off that I was basically reduced to consistently muttering profanity under my breath as a coping mechanism. I don't think I was much help to the customers who asked me for help, either. I was too pissed off to think clearly.

There were at least seven shelves' worth of books that simply did not get shelved. Beyond this, we decided the way to deal with the miscategorisation of books would be to leave them on the carts with the sections they were marked for. Which is fine. Except that it means that they'll be listed as being in the store, and customers won't be able to find them, because they won't be out on the floor.

None of this stuff will probably get shelved until Tuesday, either, unless they take someone from their usual duties and have them handle backlist instead.

I have never disliked a co-worker before. I am pretty much filled with utter loathing for the utter incompetence I am having to deal with. This shit had better get sorted out, and soon.

Stop having the exact same job as me and experiences.

I think it'll make you feel better.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I really don't think I have the constitution for retail. I either need to find a much more effective form of stress relief or a new job. Hopefully one that pays better.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

Find a new job, definitely. You're still young, and you should still have that attitude that you're going to take over the world; maybe not the literal world, but YOUR world, you know? I know times are tough and I'm not asking you to go out and be a rocket scientist or wtfever, but man, just don't settle.

 

[Max Payne]

To be fair, maybe the person needs quality training. I mean, perhaps the person who was doing this is so ill-informed that a good rehash (or hash, period) would do him/her good? Perhaps you could do this? I know that's not your job, but perhaps it would make life a hell of a lot easier.

On the other hand, you would think it's easy enough to do? I mean, Oregon is not Hawaii, etc. And, I love it when the manager (who, at least in some of my own experiences, didn't seem to have much to do him/herself) tells you to do something extra to get the job done, but s/he seems too involved with nothing to help.

I feel for you.

 

[Ⓐaron]

The receiving manager has already said he's repeatedly told him what he's been doing that's been wrong, and he just hasn't been listening.

While channel-hopping last night, I ended up on BBC News 24 while they were reviewing the latest film releases. Apparently, Green Lantern is scraping the bottom of the barrel for superhero movies (has the reviewer never seen or heard of Howard the Duck?). Green Lantern has "some sort of magical ring", and he "thinks about things and makes them real". After saying this, the reviewer complained that he "didn't get what his power was supposed to be".



He then went on to say he liked real superhero movies, with real super powers, where "you get bitten by a radioactive spider and become a spider".



Oh, and Bad Teacher is the funniest comedy film this year. I didn't realise this year was so bad for comedy films...

 

[Alessa Gillespie]

People saying that making a character with unconfirmed sexuality gay degrades them.

 

[Max Payne]

Our car is gone. I don't know if it's been stolen, or towed, or what.

What the fuck is wrong with my life. I don't know how we're going to survive now, we were barely able to get this vehicle. I just don't fucking get it.

 

[Max Payne]

I fucking give up. That's it for me.

I should have known better than to hope my life was getting better.

 

[Celes Chere]

Being sick and not being able to sleep because of it. Y_Y Curse you sore throat, curse you....

Edit: Also, I had a dream that Sami IMed me and said "Audrey said she will be online for a couple of hours today!" so I remember cancelling my in dreams plans and waiting around but then my half sis woke me up this morning.

 

[Vivi]

I have to be at work in an hour. The one thing I hate about 2nd shift is that my entire afternoon is filled with dread.
