To start it off, I had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning, get to work at 5. I open the service deli like I normally do, filling all the salads and putting them in the case, making more salads so forth and such. I'm still pretty new at opening the deli, having done it for only about a month and then only a couple times a week, so I know what I'm doing, I just haven't gotten the rhythm of opening down yet. So about an hour after I start, I notice a note on the desk, telling me that since the head deli manager of the district is coming in, I have to dress up all the salads, and put them in the case in a specific order. Of coarse I had put them in the case wrong, so I had to pull them alllll out and start all over again, and while I’m doing this, my manager comes in to help get the Deli ready.

Well, on a normal day, it takes to about 10:30~ 11 o'clock to get everything filled and all the sandwiches made. Did I mention that the corporate people are coming in at 9 am and they want all of it ready by 9? Add to that, that I am an hour behind, wand while I'm running around, fixing everything up nice and neat, my new manager is putting not only me down for being slow and lazy, but every one else in the deli too. Everyone in that deli pulls not only their own load, but a lot extra. We are one of the busiest stores in San Diego, My deli selling an average of 3 thousand a day. You have to do a lot extra or you'll be let go, but cause it's been a holiday and we always fall behind on holidays, cause of just how more it gets busy and add in that we have several new people in deli with also an new manager, and the company throwing new programs at us with out really giving my warning, things have been a bit confused, but the way she tells it, we are the most worthless and lazy people on this planet.

Well, after 6 and a half hours, of confusion, chaos and running around like chickens with their head cut off, I FINALY get to take my lunch, but I haven't had my break yet. So I got to lunch and of course the one smart mouth kid from produce is in the break room, and he starts going off and making jokes about me, telling me how inferior and stuff I am. I ignore it; go about cooking my lunch and eating it. Usually I take a nap on the last half hour of my name on one of the couches to I can be a bit refreshed, but of course doing this opens a risk of being jacked with. I've had food thrown at me, a pillow smashed into my face, thing put in front of the couch so I'm kind of trapped in and one time, the clock was set ahead so when I woke up, I though I was late. (Almost all of this was done by said smart ass kid.) And of course he has to go on and tell everyone what he has done to me.

Well, heading back to work after my lunch is ruined, with an hour and a half left, that cheers me up a bit, but low and behold, the Corporate people ARN"T COMING TODAY! Their coming tomorrow. Which puts my manager in a bad mood cause the store manager called her up and told her to come 2 hours early to help me, and I get a lot of the brunt of the anger, making snide remarks about how if I hurried up, I wouldn't be in this mess. Well, I try to take a break about half an hour later to call my dad because we were supposed to go to the baseball game tonight, but she tried to tell me that I couldn't because I was too slow this morning and she wanted me to get the load in the back. now getting the load, takes my be 15, 20 minutes, I still had an hour left, so I tell my boss that I won't take a full break just long enough to call my dad. I call my dad, but he isn't home, head back, get the load and bring it back, get it half put away, and we get a rush of customers, well, when I went on my break, then boss went to lunch too, so I had to stop and help with customers, and by that time, I was so pissed off, I told the other people in the deli what the boss had been saying about us, which pissed them off beyond belief. I have a feeling I just started a war. I finally get off 20 minutes late to tiredly drive home, and almost get in a couple of accidents as a group of cars racing along the freeway cut me off.

I just needed to rant.

I have had days like these, and they totally suck. I am sorry you had such a craptastic day.

At least you live close to a beach though. You can go look at bikinis and make yourself feel better!

Men do not look at bikinis. We look at what they do not cover.

Anyway, sucky day dude.

DON'T DO IT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO IT! Seriously dude, Vons sucks now, new people don't get payed any holiday pay for the first 6 months and when they do, it's only time and a half. You also don't get any benefits for 6 months. Macdonalds starting pay and pay raises are now better then vons.

I can't even do that. I've been with my girlfriend for over 4 and a half years, and its a long distance relationship, so when I do look at girls, I feel slightly guilty.

MY FUCKING WEEKEND.

started out ok, on friday i went to the bowling alley with my "friend with benifits" and some of my other guy friends.... my guy friends start hitting on my chick, i get a little jealous, but decide its nothing and that im just being paranoid, i think shes giving my friend the eye. ok so i get home and check her live journal, shes updated about how she likes chris, my friend at the bowling alley. fuck. so i tell her that hes a good guy, and ask him what he thinks of her, he likes her also... so i tell him she likes him.... so i think i just fucked up my life a bit.. not to mention that i got an email from my other "friend" and it said good-bye. i thought it a little weird. so i call her house the next day to find out she killed herself that night by drinking bleach..... and to top it off my dad JUST took my dog to have her put down.

Deli counter jobs suck. Did it for one summer. That was enough for me. Managed even to slice off a small piece of my thumb because our boss was too cheap to repair the broken slicer.
