HEH. Update on the counting to ten in japanese thing. I can now do 1-4, 8, and 10. That's it. That is ALL I have managed to beat into my brain. Oh, and I can remember the other numbers if I'm not trying to do it in order. SOOOOO screwed up!!

OK. I feel the need to write about exactly WHAT is going on at work.

Well, as you all know, DRICK has been spending most of his time on the phone recently while at work. He has also not been doing any closing duties. And he has pissed off more customers per night than I thought possible. I felt really bad because I like him as a person, but working with him was AWFUL! because I had to get the store all clean for close AND try to keep the customers happy because things always went even MORE downhill when he intervened for "situations". Also, he doesn't know how to do a lot of the manager stuff.

Well, other CSRs complained to MOD-sama, who doesn't really like DRICK, so he told Ms. SM about it. And she called us all aside seperately and asked us what had been going on. She then proceeded to warn DRICK about it and to tell him that he'd get written up if it kept on happening.

Well, it did keep on happening, and I was the one who got blamed for complaining about it when he got in trouble. So now he completely hates me and it is MORE AWFUL to work with him.

Ms. SM tried to keep him from blaming me by telling him that a lot of other people have complained, too. She may have used the term "everyone", actually. We've had managers at OTHER STORES call and complain about him because he calls them when he doesn't know how to do basic manager things. But, he has focused his hate on me. And I'm sad.

Hopefully, tho, he will be gone soon, and I asked Ms. SM to schedule me with him as little as is humanly possible. I know he got written up, and that's grounds for getting fired. He requested a transfer to another store, but Ms. SM told him no. When he asked why, she responded with "No one else will take you. You can't even do your job at THIS store." So now he kind of hates everyone. But, he's doing his job. Just very sulkily. And I think he's gotten BETTER at pissing off the customers.

::sigh:: My big beef, tho, is that I wasn't the first one to complain, so it's sad that I ended up being his most hated CSR. But, whatever. Soon it won't matter. And I guess I might as well get used to stress in the workplace.

Wait, why?!!

A funny note about mini-MOD. Today I went in to return my movies (NO LATE FEES, YAAAAAAAAAY!!!) and he said "Hey, somebody opened your box. I was really mad at them."

So I looked at where he was pointing, and it was a box that was labeled: "To: Lauren...Contents: drugs". It was obviously his handwriting. I just glared at him and tried really hard not to laugh. ><
