ever get the feeling that you're not worth much to anyone. work amplifies that. i try to humour the place, i get shot down. i try showing intiative, i get shot down. i try showing leadership and i get shot down. what else can i do? apart from burn the place down. the knives are out at cbd - beware the ides of march

i turned up to work at 6.45 this morning. due on at seven. thats all good. we open at 7.30. everythings going great with me out the back and a manager out the front. i even got to serve a customer.

here's where it sucks. the guy due on at eight was woken up at eight thirsty by our manager asking where the fuck he was and whether he stuill wants to keep his job. he turns up at 9.30. thats me holding the kitchen while trying to do transition for 2 and a half hours. then when he turns up he says it wasn't his fault. some bullshit reason, same one he usually gives when he's more than an hour late.

the two people due on at eleven didn't show up at all. one did eventually but management told her to go home as her shift had already been replaced. this pisses management off even more, since we only had one on and the ohter had thrown up on front counter and subsequently gone home.

we've got one manager on (he's out the front) 2 crew out the front (we usually have 5) and 5 out the back. i was out the back, and it was just me and another girl doing all the work, the other 3 guys were just standing aronud doing fuck all. they've all got warning slips now. thats how fucked it all is.

anyway, i'm going away in 2 weeks for a little while. right at the time the bulk of our crew goes back to school. so they're gonna find out just how fucked they'll be without me.

i hope they bloody enjoy it.

and that was my day.
