TUESDAY
I spent finishing off my Marketing Assignment - I got to the point where I couldnt care any less on his it was right or wrong I just wanted the Evil thing out of my life! So long as I get over 50% on it I will be fine, as I already have enough marks to pass the whole paper.
I printed it of - a total of 20 pages! Drove into Uni and handed it in...sign sealed delivered...THANK GOD!! All that is left to do are my three exams which are NEXT WEEK!! Which I didnt realise was that soon! Im going to have to do some major study on Friday and in between my shifts at work...with the fact we are still short staffed at work and have a few more members leaving :o( I wonder what shifts I will have next week...if I will have any at all given what happened at work on Tuesday night.
I dont have an issue with travelling across the city to get to work - infact the more you do it, it doesnt seem that far away in the end...I end up rolling my eyes and giving a look when people ask where I live when Im at work - and having them go OMG THATS SO FAR AWAY!!! Its not!! I mean when I applied they asked if it was a problem I said not at all.
I was stuck in traffic Tuesday night - and so I was 20 mins late to work, which I will probably make up for tomorrow by being half an hour early probably...sometimes my boss doesnt believe me when i tell him I may be late for work - because i end up being there half an hour to an hour early for my shift...When I got into work I didnt have my manager tell me anything, she didnt tell me what was happening on my section which I am also told when I sign in by my boss or who ever is manager...I also check the dockets in the kitchen and the computer to see what is up on my tables...and do a scope of my section....my manager also didnt tell that the big boss was in - I didnt see him anywhere at all - he was sitting my section how I could miss him I have no idea....but from there it went down hill - to the point that he came up to me while i was putting orders through a table giving me a verbal warning right in front of everyone in the restaurant - all because I had told a customer I would be with them shortly....(which in my "training" session with him the other week he said is what we were to if we were occupied with something else, so long as we acknowledge the customer....and let them know someone would be with them shortly...) - hyporcritcal twat!! Then 10 mins later he pulls me into the kitchen door way and rips into me...planting me with my final warning saying he was sick of my attitude and stuff (funny how just a couple of weeks ago he was raving to me about how wonderful I was and smart and had this carisma he was mesmerised by and beautiful smile and yadda yadda yadda).
All my manger could say to me was find something to do - when everything I went to go do I had another staff member take over and not tell me she had done - she was interferring in on my bloody section and I HATE PEOPLE WHO DO THAT!!! Coz its me who gets the shyt for when things go wrong on my section even if i havent done anything on it...
I said to the chefs in the kitchen that this is the last straw at work - and I am over the shyt going on there now - I over having completely inexpereinced staff members who dont know anything - Ok yes I know we all have to start somewhere, but seriously people start out smaller and then go larger instead of diving in the deep in first into a busy upbeat fast paced place - Im so greatful i didnt listen to my lecturers at Tech when they told me to go work for a Hotel when I graduated, instead I started out small in a cafe and worked my way up...and that for me was the best thing I did with my career...I know you have to start from the bottom up - Kitchenhand to be a Chef (check done that) - Glasswasher (so they claim) to be a Bar Manager - Food Runner to be a Sernior Food and Beverage Attendant (yep done that too - pretty much any job in a restaurant I have been in have had me as that so I am aware of the meals and what they look like and stuff) - we have a few people in on Visas whos english isnt very good and my Big Boss is being very racists and discriminating now saying we need more of them working there and so well they are bringing in all of their friends who havent long been here and are looking for work.... and to add to that we have alot of newbies in who are either still in high school or have just resently dropped out with no qualifications, have no experience and are beerly legal to consume and buy alcohol!
I had one of the chefs tell me - but you just told Big Boss that you wanted to be here (yes this is true but had I said no, or anything at all he would have kicked me out and fired me on the spot there and then - I would like to see him try - I will take him for it...) - the rest of the chefs - particularlly the head chef told me I should go into a hotel - I said that is what I want and where I had been originally and really miss it...and i have so many people telling me this to go back to being in a hotel....that they will look after you much better (tis true they do...) he said he was going to talk to a head chef at a hotel down in Whangamata....my eyes glazed over at the talk of getting out of the city...
Even though my night started out crud with my big bos - I stayed till closing, shared a brownie with my manager even though she can be two faced at times...(wont be suprised if she puts in a complaint *rolls eyes* meh)
I am writing up my resignation letter - and its just a process of pushing me one step too far now to have it handed over and moving on to somewhere where I will be used for what I have to give and stuff - Im over....I hate having to do this when we are so short staffed, and after Ive told my boss what seems to be on a weekly and sometimes daily basis that I will be there to pull him through Xmas and New Years before I leave...and I know my boss appreciates what I do, he told me that the other night, that he is greatful for the hard work I am putting in, covering everyones shifts when they dont turn up or decided like last min to change shifts and that he can call me and I will come in...
ARRRGGGGHHHH - Its really doing my head in big time - I mean come on we have a boy behind bar who has dropped out of high school last month or so he cant remember he told our big boss - he has no expereince at all in the industry let alone any in bar - ok I dont have a huge amount but come on at least I have Host Responsiblity and have actaully got a qualification that has that in it!
WEDNESDAY
I spent the day talking with Jade and planning my holiday in Kapiti Coast - sooo excited hahaha - i cant wait! ONE MONTH till I go down..Im looking forward to my road trip and getting out of the city - I havent forgiven my big boss for taking over the roster last month when i had requested time off for a holiday to get out of the city and making me work...and he wonders why I havent been doing well at work - because I havent had my annaul breaks away that ive had going for a few years now that I started up back with Rob. BUT anyway, so I was talking with Jade abou what we are going to do and Ive been looking at my handy dandy website that I swear is a good send to me with my studies at Tech and Uni it should be too probably I dont know but Ive also used it for my holidays away especially Blenheim - yes Rob that is how I found the Cherrylea Motel and all the other things down there hehehe - http://www.tourism.net.nz/ One thing I also look at when I go away is Horse Trekking - how ever in this occasion that probably wont be happening...all good though...
We are looking at museums and zoos - because I have an addiction to them and thats what me and Rob do when we go away and stuff...but Im also looking at some fun cool things for Rhiley to do....I can not wait to see him again I havent seen him since he was 6 weeks old or so...he puts a smile on my face, Jade sent me a video of him dancing and I watch it when Im down because it makes me laugh and smile at how clever and smart he is for his age...
We discussed about when I was coming down with the possiblity of me changing dates to come down earlier - meaning working the lunch shift and then heading down after work and arriving there at about 9pm or 10pm at night...(since its about a 6 hour or so drive) - which she said is alright then we can spend friday doing local things saturday doing things in Wellington and Sunday and Monday doing something else. I have been told to bring the scrapbook page i made of Rhiley a few months ago down - which I will be, and I said I will bring all my scrapbooking stuff so we can work on things... :p With me leaving early Tuesday morning to go to my evening shift at work...
I made tags today for on my packs of lollies im giving out for halloween this year - I spent $30 on halloween decorations!! hahahahaha

I made tags today for on my packs of lollies im giving out for halloween this year - I spent $30 on halloween decorations!! hahahahaha
I also saw Transit Van on my way out today that was from Rob's work... :p Yes it was it had your work name on it!!
Im not sure if we are going trick or treating this year or not as my nephew goes in Friday morning to have gromets put in, and Meg has been invited to a part down her streets but she doesnt want to leave aunty on their day - i mean this is our day together its like a mini celebration before her bday the next day....Thursday my niece is going to a funeral for a friend of hers...
This weekend her reading buddy passed away to cancer at the age of 12 - it broke my heart being woken up and being told my niece went to school telling her parents and teachers she was never reading again...it was tough day for her as they had reading with their reading buddies but Meggan's wasnt there....I didnt know what to do for this and texted a co worker whom I know has a 7 yr old niece...and I aksed what do you do!?? This girl is my life and she is so smart and bright has been since the day she was born...he told me to tell her she had to keep reading to remember the fun times they had reading...when Meg came home today - well to my house after school and before going to Pippins she came in and gave me a big hug and that lasted for about 5 mins...I said to her that her reading buddy isnt gone - that she is still here she just cant see her - that she is with Gummi Bear and is free from pain and not sick anymore - and to keep reading, that she is up there proud of her and can hear her reading...i also said that when she gets older and better at reading she will be able to read a big book and just fad away into the life that is in that book - like I do....nothing like reading a book and not putting it down at all....and to getting out of bed :p
Speaking of Books - Rob I recommend Kathy Rieches....GO!! Read her books...so much better than Patricia Cornwell that say in her reviews (Im reading one of Patricia's books a the mo - if only i could stay away reading it)
Ok well Ive been completely distracted from this blog entry by a mate who is grilling me and having a big heated debated discussion about why I am not with the love of my life....im banging my head against my laptop at everyone who keeps asking me that....
IM OVER IT ALL!!! STOP HASSLING ME ABOUT MY LIFE!! I will do as I damn well like, I will eat what i like, I will drive what ever I like, I will drink what i like, I will kiss and hug and hang out with who ever I like, I will talk to who ever I like, I will work where ever I like, Study what ever I like an where ever I like ,I will live where ever I like, I will go and do as I please as I like........ BUT THERE IS NO WAY IN GOD DAMN FUCKING HELL I AM GETTING RID OF MY BESTEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!
I dont give a damn what anyone thinks.....My life I do what I want....and if anyone wants to be in my life they will accept that - and will accept that My Bestest Friend in the whole wide world, is a package deal with me!!!! I dont care if you are a boy or girl - that is how it is....You buy one you get one free, two for the price of one - needs ROBERT AND BRONWYN batteries to operate pull the tab to activate batteries...
I am going to bed - and tomorrow I will have a special blog written just to a special person...
RIP Britany.....your free of the pain now - watch over my Meggie Boo for me...
RIP Regan McDonell - One year - building sand castle in the sky for your girls Paris and Bex
Congrats Karee and Robert Boswell - 4 yrs of Marriage....
