So, regarding FFXI....

For now, I'm gonna try to level THF a bit. Try to get that to 32 or 33 or something. Then, try to level DRG again. Maybe if I have the 2 subs instead of just one, it might work out a little better.

But even then, once Jessica's mom and Randall get to 62, maybe the 4 of us can static? And maybe if Andrew starts playing more and gets to 62, he can be the refresh whore. Then all we need is a THF or something, and voila....static party. Honestly, I see this as my only way of getting past 62... So hopefully I can get everyone on board for this... >>;;;

Randall, you know you want to.. ^_~


In other news...... I'm probably gonna get fired for standing up for what I believe in.

No, seriously....listen to this bullshit....

For the last couple weeks, my asshole boss has decided he's gonna put in lunch breaks for me and the other guy working in my department. Now I can't vouch for the other guy, but I personally do not take a lunch break. I take my 2 15-minute breaks, but not the full 30-minute break. Why? Cause I'm running around so much over the course of the day, I'm not able to. Flat out. So now, I'm screwed out of 2 1/2 hours each week because he's being a flaming asshole.

Now LEGALLY, the employer is required of OFFER the lunch breaks. But if the employee doesn't take them, that's the employee's choice. The employee is not REQUIRED to take a lunch. So I don't. Simple as that. Hasn't been an issue for the last 3 damn years. But now, all of a sudden, it is.

And in the same respect, HE'S the one that could be fired for falsification of punch records, by inserting these punches that aren't happening to begin with.

So as far as legal law goes, I've got enough to cover my own ass here.

(well... minus the fact that I don't punch for those 15-minute breaks, and i take them right next to each other, so it's LIKE a 30-minute lunch, but it's not. and i take those breaks at 7 and go up to the restuarant and get some breakfast. but 7 is the only time i can do anything like that because that's when the majority of people get in, and then my day pretty much goes to hell after that. so i get some breakfast in early, then bust my ass the rest of the day. but as far as the not punching for the breaks goes, it's been a longstanding agreement that my department as a whole, company wide, doesn't have to punch for breaks. i mean, they're paid for anyhow, so what's the point? just so they can control it, and get writeups on people. sorta like cops and traffic tickets)


But I digress.

Next time I see this guy, I'm gonna go in to him. I'm gonna raise the fact that he's breaking company policy and state law by inserting these phantom punches, that I demand all hours that were taken away from me be returned, and see what he says.

If he says I'm fired, then a lawsuit will be filed, the BBB will be called, and strikes will happen.


I mean fuck......the only reason this guy is in the position he's in (as my boss that is), is that there was a sexual harassment case on him at a different store, and they moved him here to try to cover that up. Meijer is a bunch of fucktards that don't know how to run a business. Especially in the Chicago market. They have NO clue what they're doing anymore.

And moreover, they don't know how fucked they are when I leave. It's enough I get phone calls nonstop from this place when I go on trips to Texas..... What's gonna happen when I'm totally gone? This place will go under quicker than the Titanic. The other guy that works in my department is moving to Michigan in a couple weeks, so he doesn't have to deal with it.

But let's see these guys try to get thru the X-Mas season with no tech support whatsoever. They'd be totally fuxored.


So yeah... I mean fuck, like I needed any extra reasons to hate my job, right? I already have one foot out the door, and they seem to be trying to push me the whole way out. Good job guys! b^_^


As you can tell, just about everything in my life sucks right now!
