#big changes ahead

Another Halloween in the books. It goes by so fast! Sad that it’s over but happy that it happened.

And of course, I was a ghostbuster!

Graveyards and 16 hour shifts this work week kids. I’m fuckin’ tired.

This job is fantastic, I’ve worked so hard to be here. But three years of stress and constantly shifting schedules is kicking my ass. I’m just…tired.

BIG Change!

Well..... I did it. I put in my two week notice at work😅👀👀 

For those that don’t know I am very underpaid for the amount of work that I do. I work at a deli in a grocery store and have been underappreciated, overworked, and not paid nearly enough for everything I know and do for my department. I am a part-time associate that is scheduled full time hours (Which is 35-40 hours a week) I have not been given a raise or provided the benefits of this position.

I am called into work more often than not, on days off or called in early. I have been asked to work extra days even though I have already worked 7-8 days straight already. 

I have collogues that have worked a year or longer than I have and they come to me with concerns or questions as if I know everything! And they make much more than I do, mind you. As well as the invasion of privacy from my manager and her abuse of power.

I have worked in this company for almost a year and only called out twice. TWICE. Once for a family emergency, and the other was because I was feeling very sick. I have a crazy headache and my stomach really hurt. I stayed in bed all freaking day, so, I texted my manager several hours before my shift and told her I couldn’t make it in. The next day I was told she wrote me up for a ‘No call No show.” Then proceeded to shred the paper in front of my face during my yearly review as a ‘show of good faith’ basically. Because she’s that good of a person.🙄 She has also threatened to write in my ‘attendance file.’ I asked other associates about this and they had no idea what the hell she was talking about. So this was new and strange. Most likely brought up because she knows this is my first job and I know practically nothing.

I was also going through a depressive spell at the time  of the write up incident and became less talkative and less interactive with my associates, so my manager pried and pried and tried to talk about my personal life as if it was her business. I was so uncomfortable and desperate to leave the situation its not even funny. I said whatever it took to flee that office ASAP! I wanted to scream and hide all at once. She even once cornered me while working because another associate of ours was written up for not doing her job. She left me in a horrible position and I had to have someone else assist me on my shift in order to leave at a reasonable time.

This job was fun at first, I looked forward to going to work! But then two co-workers of mine had left, one transferred and the other left, all for similar reasons. Poor management and even worse associates. The higher up managers refuse to do anything about the lazy workers or managers, therefore, two people have left.

And today three people, including myself, have put in their notice.  Which is only a few months later.

Its safe to say big change is on its way for me. I put together my resume and will apply to two jobs this weekend, as well as, hopefully, finish applying for college. Here’s to big change🥂 

Hopefully my manager doesn’t get pissed off and get rude with me over this because she will be very shocked and unhappy about this👀 She hasn’t messages me back yet and I’m lowkey scared to look at my phone tomorrow when she does.

Just a little update: Not dead, or injured, or ill. Thanks for all the messages. I'm currently in the middle of moving states and frantically hoping that I'm not forgetting some important detail. By this time next week I'll have transitioned from a Tennesseean to a Floridian. That should be fun, right? I'm hoping to get the next chapter of Blood out this weekend, but no promises. Maybe once we're settled I'll be able to write again. I've missed it. Wish me luck!

This smol bean is off to Canadia today! Wish me luck, but also, ya know, planes, so I likely won't see anything you send me for a while

I have AMAZING news, but I can’t really share it with the real world yet, people I see day to day. So I’m gonna tell ALL my WONDERFUL friends here!

Many of you know I am a traveling teacher, teaching in 2 buildings with 2 very different age groups of kids. I really don’t mind the traveling- I can grab lunch, stop at the bank.But I don’t FIT IN anywhere. I’m always rushing from one place to the next, and I can’t give my full attention to students the way I really want... And due to scheduling, Wednesdays are a nightmare, with barely 15 minutes to drive across town and get ready for my afternoon classes.

I’ve had this schedule for 6 years, battling cold and rain, missing ‘fun’ activities like field trips and pep assemblies.

I met with the principal at one of the buildings today and made it official. I get to stay in her building all day next year! No more traveling! Sure, I’ll have a few more responsibilities, but I’m up for the challenge!

I just had to tell someone my great news!  Thanks for ‘listening!’
