do i have to slap a bitch?

my boss is driving me nuts. i didn't think much of it, but this past sunday he stole my dinner server to go to milwaukee, cutting him out 4 hours early... granted sunday's are normally pretty slow in the dining room and 2 servers would have normally been enough... it wasn't. in no way shape or form. if the guy would have thought about it even a little, he would have realized it was the last weekend before school started and no matter what the previous weekend had brought, we were going to be busy. on top of all of this, he never once asked lower boss or i if it was alright that he do such a thing. scum. right?

on top of this wonderful move, he has been scheduling himself to cut out early on game days. considering one of the stipulations of taking over this store was that he had to work every game day, through the game.

he has also had a year to move me up, or at least train me on things to move me up. i haven't moved an inch in a year and now my raise isn't any higher than last year. talk about ripping me off. and it's not like i haven't been asking for more responsibility. i have, believe you, me. in fact i have so much as started to train myself in the hopes of someone catching on to the fact that i am training myself... nope. nothing. took a step back. it frustrates me more to watch someone who was hired after me, trained after me, and promoted after me taking steps up the ladder. not that they don't deserve it, they do. but why the heck don't i? i know i do, i know i should be worked with... something makes me feel like it's personal. like because i don't complain about anything and work my butt off means i want to stay in the same position for the rest of my life. if you are going to keep me in this position at least have the courtesy to pay me for it. i hate waiting around for someone who doesn't give a shit about me. and yes, i do think the store has gone down hill since the previous management. there is no control and there is WAY to much favoritism being played out...

anyone have any suggestions for me? i love the work, i hate my management team...

big sister

so it seems that my allys is very excited to be a big sister. we went to st. vincent de paul today to get some newborn baby clothes, neutral of course, and browse some other things. she kept insisting that i needed to buy girl clothes, but was still excited to help mom pick out baby clothes. no to this one, yea to that one... i tried several times to explain to her that mommy doesn't know which baby she is going to have, so we have to buy yellows and greens because a boy baby and a girl baby can both wear them. regardless, when we got to the boy baby clothes she got a little upset with me. i explained it again and she seemed to finally understand. so she was quite a bit more picky about them than before, but we still got some cute things. i got a couple of maternity shirts and she found a red sweater with roses that she absolutely loves. unfortunately it is a bit big, but she always has time to grow into things.

she talked to me about a bed for the baby. i explained that my uncle dale and aunt mary have a crib for us when we are ready for it, but told her that she would need a smaller bed. (she has a full size bed) we found a spongebob sheet and she pretty much told me that she would love me forever if i bought it for her. i told her that i have the exact same sheet and fitted sheet at home, but she would need that smaller bed before she could have them. so she seems pretty excited. she told me i needed baby shoes and a baby bath tub and a high chair and ... big sister has an opinion. lol

when i found the craft department we discussed fabrics to make the baby a blanket. i wanted yellow for the ducky fabric i had at home, but we found nothing that worked. so we settled on some aqua blue and some matching yarn to make frillies. that is when i noticed her jealousy coming out. she never asked if she was getting a blanket, but just jumped into what hers was gonna look like. it made me chuckle, but i assured her that i would make her one too. i don't need a big jealous sister. :)

tick tick tick...

i hate waiting... ask anyone... i am now waiting for my first appointment for baby, waiting for baby, waiting for al's double ear infections to go away, waiting for mike to get up... it seems to be an endless cycle. so i suppose i will go off and find clothes for the baby i am so impatiently waiting for... thank god for st. vincent de paul. i'm so excited for this baby. i'm only about 10 weeks along according to the internet pregnancy calendar, but i feel like i've already been waiting too long. my impatientness has lead me to starting my gift registry for my baby shower, which has been irritating, and shopping already. mom says i should wait till i know how many babies and what kind of baby i'm going to gift the world, but she has got to be crazy! i can't sit here anymore!!!

so thursday, mike and i are planning on doing the baby registry in person rather than on the internet... not at all pushing it along a bit faster than need be... lol. and then next thursday is my appointment with my nurse practitioner... finally. she has already canceled on me once... waited a month and a half and she cancels. luckily i only have to wait an additional 2 days.... and it works better for the wee ol' schedule. i haven't told mom that it's been rescheduled, but i'm pretty sure she'll call me sometime today or so. like clockwork lol.
