Mardi Gras
Wed, Feb. 21st, 2007 12:25 amIts Mardi Gras! and I did nothing to celebrate, unless you count eating DoughCo. and watching it on the travel channel. I don't. We are all just going to have to wait to hear from Martini and nola. Yeah I have been watching the travel channel a lot lately. I have discovered that although I want to go to Tokyo, I don't think I could handle the subway. I also have been watching the animal channel a lot. I have decided that I want a baby panda to pack around, (of course I'm kidding, by the time they are cute they weight 50 lbs and get bigger, among other reasons). I guess the theme today was that I'm burnt out. It's Tuesday and that means two things: Staff meeting and Bam's Unholy Union.
There is a lot of tension right now at work for many reasons. One is because one of our co-workers/my friend passed away about a week ago. Also our boss, although she is very nice, is proving to have "ineffective management skills" as it was explained in one of my co-worker's business classes. Everyone is getting fed up with it. Some of our more timid employees even complained in person yesterday. Also, for some unknown reason, no one seems to get it. Even the newest employee has been working there for at least two months, most have been working since the middle of September and they still aren't getting it right. And because of this we have to keep hearing the same thing over and over, things are getting screwed up and some of them have very expensive and/or legal consequences if not fixed immediately, and new policy has been put in place that just creates more work for everyone. And on top of it my shifts keep getting closer together (I only work overnights) and people keep attempting to dump their overnight shifts on me, so I'm doubly tired of it.
As for Bam's Unholy Union, it is seriously more entertaining than it really should be, and I don't mean that in a bad way. It's not like its insanely stupid or anything (as one would expect), its actually kind of cute and really should be considered quite dull by by reality tv standards. Also I'm trying to tape it for my mom. She has no tv and wants to watch it. I missed taping last week's episode and the three episodes I do have are out of order. Tomorrow at five they are supposed to be playing them all in order but my tv guide is wrong a lot lately. And there is a good chance I'll sleep through it because I have my third midterm in a row tomorrow and I work again tomorrow night. I also am having problems with Hairball but it is more personal than I feel like posting here at the moment.
I must go study now.
