work antics and me

We (Kmart) have started closing at 10pm now instead of 9pm. But for some reason, the computers over in wherever California are still hooked up to say that we close at 9pm, and half the lights and all the computers/registers except the ones up front close down...it was really weird. Anyway, I got off work at 9, Aaron still had another hour to go, so when I clocked out, I took some of the bicycles for a trip around the store and tried to run into Aaron. He didn't appreciate that.

I also stole his shopping cart he was using to put stuff back on the shelves, raced away from him and around a corner, and scared the crap out of a couple customers. And this was before I clocked out, so I still had my Kmart vest on. Whoops!

Jim, the hardlines manager, wanted to talk to me tonight about me wanting to go up and work at the Customer Service desk instead of out on the floor like I have been. Well, I need the money, and you get a raise for working up at the front desk, and I can't afford to take more hours, or my grades are going to drop. He wasn't real happy to hear about that, but we're losing 2 of our front desk people, so they need replacements, and there's a select few who are able enough to handle the service desk, and I'm one of them, and everyone knows that, but I'm also good out on the floor, and Jim doesn't want to lose me to the service desk. He claims that once I go up to the service desk, they'll never let me go back onto the floor, and he refuses to pull me off the service desk to go to the floor. Another manager claims that was his way of throwing a fit and he is kinda upset about it. But I need the money. Jim did say that if I did a good job up at the service desk, they'd try to speed up my raise that I'd get there from 90 days to something sooner. I really hope so!

I have this weekend off and will try my hardest to work on my portfolio. I think I'll try to go to the library or something and work on stuff...otherwise I sit in bed and fall asleep when I start writing haha. That's not good.
