Order Was Cancelled!

July 2nd, 2008 at 01:40 am

-SPENDING-
Gas For My Truck: $20 ($45/$600.02)
Chips (BF @ Work): $3.33 ($3.33/$100)
Coke (BF @ Work): $0.50 ($3.83/$100)
Cancelled Pup's Crate: -$246.93 ($5.45/$325)

I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear that my online order was cancelled. BF forwarded the email to me today, and the PetSmart order was officially cancelled! That means we can save $110 by ordering the pup's crate through my work. I went ahead and placed the order today, so it is supposed to be here by Monday.

The pup did okay in his old crate today. He wasn't happy about it of course, but BF said when he got home, he was in a good mood and went running out the door for a walk. Hopefully, the only days he has left in the old one are tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, and Monday.

BF had a good first day at work. Apparently his department boss rarely likes anyone, and the manager told him that he is one of those rare few. BF is amazed that he can just be himself and get so much admiration, lol.

It was kind of weird today though. I kept waiting for him to email me (on my cell phone), and then I'd remember that (duh!) he's working too. Tomorrow he works late (2-10pm), so I will be coming home without him here I suppose. That will be weird, like it was before he moved up here. :S

Since he is working full-time too, I am trying to take more responsibility around the apartment. We split dinner tonight, him grilling chicken and me cutting lettuce for a salad. So we had a somewhat healthy meal. He cleaned up a bit when he got in from work today, so I think I will do our laundry and dishes tonight.

Other than that, there's not alot going on. I took my lunch for work today (canned soup), and we had birthday cake for a coworker too. (Chocolate, yay!)

Besides the food, work has been getting on my nerves lately. My boss (the manager) never really makes it clear what I'm supposed to be doing. More than anything I get stuck running the cash register, even when there are "cashiers" there. Today, I wasn't even supposed to have a register, but then another girl walked back to get cake and never came back. Thirty minutes later, I realize that she is helping somebody do inventories.

So I am stuck running the register the rest of the day, which means I can't do anything else. Exactly WHAT did I move 2 states for? To get trained on how to run a freaking retail store! Instead, this girl (who only works there when she's off from college... she's going to be a teacher) always does everything. I guess because I'm not really a butt-kisser, maybe that's why. Or maybe they don't realize it's a big deal to me. But I just think, if something like that needs to be done, why wouldn't they ask me, I am the one who is going to NEED to know this in a year! Ah!

    Maybe there is a tactful way you could ask for more challenges at work by explaining to your boss you'd like to learn all aspects of running the store so that when you are alone you are proficient in what you do. I've been a boss and an employee and when I was a boss I most impressed by employees that continued to ask for more challenges. Best wishes.

    Thanks for the advice Lost in Debt. The only problem is that I have a "set" curriculum that I'm supposed to be trained on (as well as just experience), so she is aware of what I'm supposed to be learning. I also don't want her to feel like I'm the person that is constantly annoying her by asking what I can do now. I usually can find something productive to work on, but not when I'm "chained" to the register all day.

    And another thing I don't understand about her - she will often tell me something like "we're going to re-do that endcap tomorrow, so be thinking about something to go on it." And then I'll go home and come up with something, and when I come in the next morning, she will already have another employee doing it! Geesh.
