Going the extra mile, to get slapped in the face!

Well it's been an interesting weekend,

My brother left his kids with my parents for a while and while his kids are pretty cool they do have a tendency test my patients for children,

His kids are cool but they just remind me why I don't want kids.

Add to that I was supposed to have a job holding a sign for this Dollar Store going out of business over the holiday weekend.

On the first day I went to work and was told the only real rule was the sign was to "moving at all time" So I acted like a fool embarrassing my self in 90 degree weather swinging this huge sign all f---king day just trying to actually do a good job.

As I was working acting like a frikken idiot the Boss came out and said she got approval to change a sticker on the sigh, and when she fixed the sign I told her the top was hanging down.

She told me not to worry about it and that as a sign holder I would need special approval to make any change to the sign.

SO the next day I show up and go another day making a fool of my self all trying to go the extra mile to prove I can do a good job no matter how crappy it is...

When I was done I went to collect my work ticket there was a different manager in charge and she started to make a big deal about the loose part of the sigh, remember that same loose part I was told BOTH not to worry about, and that I would need special approval to fix the day before

So I was going to say

"Well I was told I'm just the sign holder and I don't have the authority to change anything about the signs appearance but if you say it's OK I'll have no problem fixing it"

And all I got out was

"I was told I'm just the sign holder..."

This lady interrupts with "Oh well if you don't care we'll just give the job to someone else!"

All I could even thing was "wait what?

"Oh yah you clearly don't care about the job and there's lots of people who could use the work I've already faxed Labor ready and told them to send some one else!"

I've worked TWO DAYS in 90 plus heat making a fool of myself making sure you get all the work you could need out of me

I told her about what I was told yesterday and that I was trying to do a good job and all she said was "I've only been here today!"

I'm getting really tired of trying to do as good of a job as possible and trying to earn brownie points only to have my extra work not account to ANYTHING.

And not JUST to not matter but to be told I just don't care so what IS the point of caring if in trying HARDER you are called lazy?

It's not JUST me this lady is screwing either it's the lady who works at Labor Ready who now has to come into work on her day off, and the dude who now has to come in and work on what was supposed to me a Holyday ALL BECAUSE THIS LAY HAD TO BE A BITCH!

If some one had come and said "Hey can you fix the sign!" guess what I'd have had NO PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!!!!

It's just so sad because I actually had people stopping and saying they spent there last 5 bucks because of me, I even had an older lady stop and ask what I was listening to, and I must have said something right because she came out of the store with a basket full of crap.

BUT remember please don't hire me because I just clearly don't give a crap about any job I have!
