OMG, I forgot about the block of Firefly on Serenity on Scifi today, "War Stories" is on now. Mal and Wash are getting tortured.

Yes? To which question?
Methinks you should take over my title as the International Man of Confounding and not at all Confusing

Goto modify profile in the profile tab, and where it says display name, change it.

Oh, right. Thanks. Didn't pan out, though. Who knew you had a limit of 20 or so characters.

Yeah...that name is just a little too long. Just by a bit.

*sigh*
I would've been cool though.
Well, it was, in my mind.

Key word...in your mind.
And to me, not that it is worth anything,

Hello gang. Sorry I've been all absent and stuff today. I had to work this morning then I came home, took a quick shower and tried to watch the Austin City Limits ep I taped the other night that featured The Killers.
When I was doing that my ex-Monster-In-Law came back early to watch Enzo. She wasn't supposed to be here till almost 4 but she said after dropping his Dad off she had nothing better to do so I had to sit and talk to her before I left for my manager's meeting.
The meeting was fine though our Store Manager seemed like she was in a really bad mood tonight. And of course my table was the goof off table at the meeting. She really could see Michelle and I since we were sitting in a booth and the backs are really high so we could hunch down and talk to each other without her seeing us.
That and Gaby kept talking which kept getting Christy to tell her to hush and Tammy (the Store Manager) kept giving us dirty looks.
And I wonder why my son has authority issues. ;D
We weren't really that bad, and I did bring cookies. That makes everything better. ;D
I am now in charge of Training at our store which is going to be hell for the next month. We are opening a new store in our town so we have a ton on trainees that we have to train for the new store.
Our meeting ran long because we had so many issues to cover - none of which will actually be solved by the meeting.
I brought up a few issues that I hope people will remember but I'm not sure they will. At least they won't have an excuse when I call them on doing it wrong though since I told them about it at the meeting.
Jo-Jo got us in trouble with the Owner today in Drive-thru during lunch. He was running. Heather was drawing the drinks, and I had a trainee handing out orders. It was her first day and she's never worked in a restaurant before.
Anyway, the Owner went through drive-thru and it took him 11 Minutes to reach our window. That is insane and should never happen. Jo-Jo is Salary and it was his job to make sure the line was moving. If we don't have the order we are supposed to pull it up to keep the line moving so everyone else doesn't have to wait.
Well, he can't concentrate on more than one task at a time. I wanted to switch him places to fix things but since he's higher than me I couldn't order him to do so. So we had to put up with not getting our orders which really sucked.
After the Owner went through Heather made him trade her spots - she's Salary now - and it really pissed him off. But he wasn't getting the job done so it had to be done.
He got upset and started complaining saying we couldn't blame everything on him but neither of us said anything about it being his fault. He's just not cut out for this. He can't think of more than one thing at a time.
Tammy told us that she can't do anything about it because he's the Owner's project. Our Owner is keeping him in this position pretty much because he's a guy and he wants more guys in Management positions. I just wish he could come in there and see what really happens when Jo-Jo is in charge and he's not there. The guy can't do the job. He does try and he's a nice guy but he's not Salary material.
I'm not sure he ever will be and it puts lots of pressure on the rest of us because we're always picking up his slack. That and our Store Manager is overwhelmed right now because she can't give Jo-Jo or Terry (another new Salary manager - female) any extra duties to help her out because neither one of them can even run the floor without help much less do anything else.
No wonder she's cranky.
Wow, I didn't realize I had so much to say about work. I'm pretty much off until Sat. so the rest of the week should be better. I just have to go in tomorrow to learn how to do Charts with Michelle, and to fix a computer issue.
I'm off the floor so I'm coming in wearing street clothes so they can't put me on the floor. This way I'll be able to get my stuff done.
So, how was everyone else's day?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention "Prangs". 9 pm or 10 pm Central time is fine with me.
I don't have to be up early on Thanksgiving so we can even go later if people want to.
Just let me know. I'm looking forward to watching it. ;D
