I just woke up and realized I had forgotten to post my blog. This is probably due to the fact that this weekend at work has been so boring! There's not much to say. I worked Saturday night from six to midnight. I was on admissions cash register, which means I just sat there the entire time. Then after the public session was over at ten I went into the breakroom and helped my supervisor do the deposit until midnight. I then went home. Actually, when I was walking to my car I found a lost puppy. It had a collar around its neck, so I was going to pick it up and keep it until the next day when I could find its owner. Then the puppy ran away when I tried to chase and catch it. I just went home after that.
Yesterday was extremely boring at work yet stressful. I got to work and was greeted by the supervisor I despise. I clocked in and went to the bathroom to change into my sweatpants and she yelled at me. She accused me of wasting company time and that the city does not want to pay me to change clothes. I find this proposterous because it took me thirty seconds to change. So what did that cost the city? Two pennies? Funny thing is though, that they pay on a fifteen-minute loop. For example, if you clock in at three and clock out at 3:46 they'll give you a full hour's pay. Last time I checked it does not take me fifteen minutes to change.
I came up with this brillant plan to post my 95 Theses/Grievances with The Edge Ice Center yesterday as well. I was rinkguarding for the first hour and the lazy supervisor was watching my every move and constantly motioning for me to come over to her so she could criticize something I was doing. I'd like to see her get out on the ice and catch every person that falls. I'd have to say my biggest problem with The Edge is this one particular supervisor. Everything bad about the rink spawns from her. She is a forty-year-old that acts like she's thirteen. She's always spreading gossip and acting like she's better than everyone else. It's ridiculous. Not to mention she's creepy. She has this "boyfriend", his name is Frank, who comes to the rink every day. He's a total creeper too. He has this thin, Italian mustache, although I'm pretty sure he's not Italian. He also has these slanted eyes (this is not meant to be derrogatory, he's not Asian) that give me the shivers. Anyways, we always joke around about Frank, but yesterday said supervisor crossed the line. After session she decided that everyone, including the other two supervisors, was going to sweep and clean the bleachers. This is a very time-consuming task even when everyone pitches in. Of course, she did not pitch in. Finally, someone with some guts yelled at her to do something. The conversation then went like so:
Evil Supervisor: I can't bend over because I have hurt my back. So, I can't sweep or clean anything. Sorry guys. I just can't bend over.
Person: That's not what Frank said.
Evil Supervisor: I'm sure!
Then an awkward silence followed and then everyone dry heaved and ran to clock out. The sad thing is that her seventeen-year-old son works with her, meaning he heard it. When we asked how he felt about her random outbursts of such talk (it happens quite frequently) he said, "I'm used to it." Poor child.

Oh my goodness. This place is like a soap opera. Actually, every place is probably like a soap opera if an insightful person observes as much as you and is able to articulate it in such a fashion. You are gifted! I really can't wait to read your view on the happenings of your job next week!! You can never quit--ha ha
