snoitcelfeR on working latelydamn...I had this whole post figured out in the shower, and now it's gone.
ok, I got it back
Item number one
I have two very different attitudes towards both my jobs. And they both stem from Office Space (imagine that...). I compare my job at Blimpie to that of Peter Gibbons after he is left in his state of relaxation from the hypnosis. I really don't care much for that job. I haven't gotten to the point of coming in late and not doing any work at all, but I am seriously considering bringing in a fish to gut on the veggie table.
Pay-Less, on the other hand, is kind of like Peter Gibbons working with his neighbor at his construction job...minus being outside. It's hard work, labor-intensive at times, and it feels like a real job. Of course, that is starting to wear off a little bit, but still I like having somethign that feels like a real job. Timmy.
Item number two
I've never cared much for business. Business in general has always seemed like kind of a joke to me...making proposals, promotions, etc. But since working at Pay-Less I have some new-found appreciation for it. Mainly towards the beaurocratic structure it has. Every morning the store manager comes in and does an inspection of the store. If he sees somethign wrong, he chews out the night manager, who in turn chews out whoever made the mistake (at least that's how it's supposed to go, but really the night manager won't chew anyone out. He just says what was wrong, whatever). But in a way it's very effeciant. If somethign needs to be changed everyoen on the ladder knows about it. Just a bit I found interesting.
Don't expect me to change over into business. They all seem a bit assholey to me (no offense to my friends in business schools...you guys are quite alright).
That's all for now.
Tonight/tomorrow might suck a little, well a lot. I work Pay-Less 11-7 (or later, depending on how quickly we get done (which has been late my last 2 nights working because people have called in sick)). After that I work Blimpie 8:30-4. Yeah...major suckage. But serious hourage and serious moneyage. I told Jim I'd be willing to work mornings if he was ever in it crutch, and right now 5 people are on vacation. So that's that. I'll be ok. I'll manage.
That's all for now (seriously).
So long!
Adam
