one man

when i didn't have the amount of hours i needed/was promised, i asked my new boss if i could find more hours somewhere else.

you can have some of mine,
was what she said, and so it happened. the good thing is, i got more hours. the bad thing is, i got more hours. it's not an easy job by any stretch of the imagination, and i'm tired. but i work my ass off at work, and to come in today and get bullshit feedback, nitpicking from my boss' boss is a tad bit irritating to say the least.

i apologized and said,
i put customer health and saftey first.


the bullshit under the benches can wait as far as i'm concerned. it has nothing to do with my coming from a smaller store, it has everything to do with priorities.

that doesn't need to be on a list,
i was told. but i disagree.

coming into a new store, i'm making these kids work. one said last night,
i've done a lot of work tonight
(hear: the most i've had to work in a long time). and i make it fun, as fun as work can be. but! there is only so much one can do.

so for me to ride these kids about bullshit that can wait is not my priority. it's his. he could have busted out the broom and lead by example. it's easy to point out the problems. very easy. i get the problems. but this store was in bad shape before i got there, it's not going to turn around overnight. we're working on it, it's a process of time and energy.

good things are happening though.

poquito por poquito mija.


yes grams.
