that sounds so cool! I forgot.. do your kids know now that they are going??

No, but we totally expect our son to say that he knew we were going. We know that if he really knew he would be losing his mind right now. Read my post on the KOTS thread about our close call.:rotfl:
 
It looks like everybody abandoned the boards since they were down for a while. I should probably go back to sleep too.
 
ok so here is what happened... you all know I have been having problems with a certain manager.. her name is Erica. well yesterday she started giving me a hard time as soon as I got there.. giving me a rude look and a rude additude when she told me where to go.. so I brush it off.. but this happens everytime I work with her... so yesterday I called her because I dont know how to make a transaction tax exempt for government purchases well she walks up and starts off with her "didnt you do this at Home Depot" well yes I did.. but Home Depot was a touch screen and when you hit total there was a button that said "tax exempt".. super easy.. but I said "yes. but the computer system there is different" so she said "move" and stepped in front of me and did it on the computer and walked away all mad.. so I guess then she felt the need to watch every single thing I did like I screwed everything up... so I was ringing a customer up for some lumber.. they were all the same length and same size but I could tell some were redwood and some were the other kind of wood... different prices.. people like to get a few of the cheap ones on the top and bottom of the cart and the expencive ones in the middle and be like "theres blah amout" and usually the cashier scans the top one, being the cheap one and the person gets the amount of the expencive ones they want for the price of the cheap ones and a few days later return the cheap ones saying they over bought or whatever.. so I scan each piece induvidually and I guess she didnt see me move the scan gun from one piece to another and said "are you stupid those are different" adn grabbed the scan gun out of my hand and finished the transaction. so I said "Erica I scanned the different ones, please just let me do my job" and i didnt say it rudely or anything and she said I was being rude and she was doing her job by taking it in her own hands to make sure it was right.. so stuff like that kept happening and I said "Erica please stop. I know you are trying to do your job and so am I but please stop making me look stupid in front of the customer" and she said "its not hard to do" and I got mad and she sent me on my break and I called my dad crying and stuff and I came back all red face and she looked mad.. well at that point I had tried to talk to the Store Manager but he put his hand in my face and said "I dont have time for this" and we dont have a Human Resource person becuase she got fired so I had no one I could talk to about it.. then another manager asked me what was going on because Erica was in Mike (the store manager)'s office talking about writting me up, well I am still in my 90 days and one write up no matter how bogus it is will get me fired, so he sent me home saying that it was the best way to keep my job secure and that him Mike and I would talk about it today.. well today was SUPER busy so we didnt get time to talk about it and he said Monday we would talk but luckily she wasnt there today and it was a good day.. I dont know what her problem is... someone said that she doesnt like me becuase I am white... :confused3 :confused3


It sounds like you might want to write up a report on her, just to protect your own job and reputation. Now I'm not saying to do this in spite or in an angry way but very professional stating the facts in a succinct manner.

Since they don't have an HR person, you may get lost in the shuffle. But having something in writing about the incidents when you meet with the manager will make it more professional and not a "he said, she said" thing.

If anyone else (customer or other workers) can confirm your experiences, that would be good, too, to mention or have in writing.

Good luck!
 

Good morning everyone!
 
The board seems to only be four minutes off. Didn't it used to be more?
 
she is all smiles and laughing when she is dealing with another black person and then she goes to talk to someone who isnt balck and its like her heart froze over instantly.... :sad2: very frusterating becuase i am not like that.

When approaching this topic, you may just want to say I feel like I am being discriminated against because of my race or ethnic background. If you immediately say b/c "she is black and I am white", it may come across that you are the one with the issue -- I know it's not right but I found when I comes to cases like this you have to choose your words carefully and professionally, using legal jargon more than colloquialisms.

Anyway, just a thought...
 
The roses that DH had on the table when we went to dinner last night look so pretty on my desk. :teeth:
 
Do any of you do Coke Rewards? I can't decide what I want to save up for.
 
We ate there last month...so anything's possible...

When it first looked closed I checked the website and it only had open ones in a few states. Now the website is back to having all of them on there but the phone number is disconnected. If they were just closing for a little while you wouldn't think they would disconnect the phone.
 
I want a swimsuit from Lands End but I can't pay over $100!:scared1:
 
I really feel like posting a lot today. I think because I know I'm going to have to stop and reall get to work on the garage/yard sale now. I get so mad at people for acting all indignant if you have a yard sale sign up but end up having a garage sale. It's called rain people. I didn't want you in my garage but if it's going to rain I don't have a lot of choices.
 
Where did you go Marshay?
 
Woohoo, I just checked the 10 day forecast at weather.com and it says Thursday (yard sale day) will be partly cloudy. Friday will have isolated T-storms so I hope I make lots of money on Thursday.
 
I just checked the 10 day for WDW and it's going to be just as hot there as it is here next week but there is less rain predicted. So I guess that's good. Low 90's is never REALLY good but what can you do? ;)
 
Well, if you're all going to abandon me then I will have to actually go do some housework or something! :sad:

If there is a JCP outlet near you, try there. I saw the $78 Longitude swimsuits for only $38 and they were really nice. They also had other brands.

I ended up spending over $100 for my suit and believe me, it is the best. I've never felt good in a suit before, and this MiracleSuit makes me feel like a model in it. It's one of those "lose 10 pounds in 10 seconds" suits. Absolutely wonderful.
