R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Have you ever found yourself losing TOTAL respect for your manager? I just did. It wasn't like he said one thing that made this happen. For the past weeks he's been taking me for granted (e.g. making me work extra hours on days I was supposed to have off, having me come early when I wasn't supposed to, and making me stay and clean the store after store hours without pay). Yesterday I felt the brunt of it since he got in a minor argument with this girl (Nicole) and sent her home, and for the rest of the day (Canada day = which almost everyone gets off and goes shopping!) it was only 3 of us working. Talk about decency. I'm sorry you and her don't get along, but did he not notice that we NEEDED her in order to deal with all of the customers? So suck it up loser! lol :P To make it worse, he said ealier today that another Softmoc store beat us for business yesterday and then blamed it on Nicole leaving early... argh those are some of my job frustrations. I hate that guy with a passion and I really can't believe I have to put up with his crap for another 2 months!

Oh and he feels the need to tell me every time he thinks a woman is attractive who walks into the store, or whether she has "sweet, sweet, sweet stuff" refering to her breasts! And he puts down my co-workers (Ana and Nicole) in front of me! Why? I don't know. Its not like i'm senior management or anything. I am just the same as them and he is telling me things they are doing wrong and why he thinks they are lazy. Basically he is just a big unprofessional loser and I can't believe I am devoting so much of my blog to a person who doesn't deserve it. I do think this rant was necessary for my sanity though!!! :P

At least Canada day at the beaches was fun! We went to dinner (had amazing ribs), followed by a small pub (where I tried a rather nasty beer that was supposed to taste like chocolate, but ended up tasting like flowers). Then we went to the actual beach and watched the fire-works! :) Julian was rather excited about those, staring straight at them and probably wondering what the hell they were! heh. The only downside to yesterday was that it got chilly outside and its still pretty cold today, but oh well that'll go away soon! :)

Also yesterday would have been my 2 year anniversary with my ex had we still been together. The weird thing is that our first "date" was in Totonto watching the fireworks on the beach. I was a little sad in the morning when going to work, but it wasn't sadness over our relationship ending. It was more nostalgia about what had happened (BBQ, fireworks, butterflies in the tummy :P ) as opposed to longing for it to happen again with him. I know that I will go see fireworks again some time with a guy I love and I will not even have one thought of my ex (cause I am rarely having thoughts about him now :P) and it will be great!

Now to totally swtich the subject:
Don't u love it when you pick up a book and its so good that you just can't put it down? Maybe its the fact that my last book "The Red Queen" was totally biology related and lacking a plot, but I immediately got into this one! It is awesome.. now I just can't put it down, so on my way to and from work I read it, listen to Amethystium on my ipoddy, and basically forget about this world :) Such a good feeling! hehe well guess what? I'm off to read my book!
Talk to you later everyone! :)
