O what do we have here?
"Go change the daily schedule to say that I'm leaving at 2:30 instead of 5:30. Millissa says that I have to talk to a manager? Tell her that she doesn't run the front end! *hangs up*"
You guessed it! Here is a list of things that piss me off!
1. When there is no front end manager available when I'm doing books, I am in charge of the front end. Deal with it.
2. "Service One on 4; I need a key on 4!" Redundancyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
3. "Millissa call *insert whatever register they happen to be on* for some stupid reason that I could easily fix myself but I feel that I must bother you!"
4. People who want to get paid more, but openly admit that they don't want to have anymore responsibilities.
5. LETS ARGUE ABOUT POLITICS.
6. That one girl in my ENG 356 class.
7. Bad drivers.
8. People who call me all the time.
9. My slow computer.
10. This math assignment that I'm having problems with.
11. This girl in my BIS 301 class who asks dumb questions.
12. "If it says 'Read for Thursday', does that mean have it read for Thursday, or start reading on Thursday?"
13. Living at home.
14. My lack of creative drive.
15. "Millissa, cashier service! Oh wait, I forgot I'm not allowed to call you for that anymore, but I'll continue to demand you to help this customer that I can't seem to help at all."
16. When people blatantly ignore me.
17. The fact that I wish I could get in control of my life, and yet I can't seem to break the habit of being lazy.
18. People who complain about stupid things.
19. Bad fanfiction. No really. You have no idea.
20. "I thought the sign said that these boxes of cookies were only ten cents! I don't want them if they're not. Your sign is very misleading." You are not getting those cookies for ten cents. And your friend isn't getting that 24-pack of water for one dollar.
21. I have to come in at what time on Wednesday?
22. "SERVICE TWO ON FOUR!!!!!!!!" Two seconds later. "....SERVICE TWO ON FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ten seconds later ".......SERVICE TWO ON FOUR PLEASE MILLISSA! I DON'T CARE THAT SERVICE TWO MEANS 'AT YOUR CONVENIENCE', I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO SCREAM INTO THE INTERCOM FOR YOU TO HURRY YOUR CONVENIENCE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
23. "What time do you leave today?" "Nine...like every other day." "Oh...can you give Bill his lunch at nine?" "......NO."
24. MGT 380, because she goes off on so many tangents and I sleep through it.
25. Bad fanfiction that includes giving people nicknames like "puppy" and "dragon".
26. Fanfiction.net again. Just because I can't find anything good on there without having to weed through a bunch of garbage.
27. Stupid people. And I come across a lot of them.
28. When I don't win the Lottery.
29. "I called you several times, Millissa, and you ignored me. I need money that I don't actually need but I want to ask you for so that I may attempt to feel important. So I will take $300 from my register and walk it in front of the door over to the customer service desk where you were servicing customers and had no time to answer my call in the 5 seconds I gave you to answer it, and hopefully someone will steal this from me so that I may be fired for being stupid."
30. People who post things on their Facebooks about tragic events that they don't actually care about but don't want to look insensitive. Remember 9/11, guys!
31. When my cell phone resets itself when its charging in the middle of the night, and I almost miss my 3AM alarm because of it.
32. Dropped calls, since I mentioned my phone.
33. The fact that my upgrade isn't until November.
34. Bad fanfiction still takes the cake. It's bad when the whole plot of your story is just waiting for "puppy" and "dragon" to get married and have sex. When they say it's the climax of the story, THEY REALLY MEAN IT.
35. When I know that I have a lot more to rant about, but when suddenly put on the spot, I can't think of anything.

Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch
This is me complaining.
So I'm pretty much fed up with the stupidity of the Front End; more precisely, the customers who frequent the Front End. I can't tell you how many times I have returned items for people who are obviously just trying to make money off of us, but because it's pretty much "Company Policy", I just do it. And the fact that if I say "No", then they will call a real manager over and complain to them. Then they will get a $10 gift card for me being a jerk to them, and then get their refund. It's not worth it.
One year later since my last post about customers and they are still being as ridiculous as ever when it comes to the Uscan (oh sorry, the "Self Check Out"...Uscan IS BAD). People will either want discounts for going through it, or they will yell at the screen "I HATE THIS", despite the fact that there are several lanes open for them to go through.
This is why I try my best to avoid getting checker shifts.
And then they schedule my Bookkeeping shifts for only 5 hours. Which isn't too bad, since I am able to get that job done in 4 hours, but I keep getting called every five seconds. Or someone will knock on the door demanding that I give them their break, even though I work through mine, and they come an hour later to work than I do. Does my name tag say "MANAGER"? Nope.
And it's funny too, they put me in charge of running this crazy monstrosity that is the Front End, and pay me like a Cashier. I count the money in the store, and I balance all the registers and make sure that all the money is being handled properly...and I get paid like a Cashier. I can only hope for the new contract to come out. Then maybe I'll make more than $10 and hour.
Anyway, they put me in charge of the Front End one day, and then the next, they write me up for Cashier infractions. They want me to use a Void Sheet and get a manager to sign any voids that need a manager override. The funny thing is that they have me override my own voids. And, they write me up for this on the day that I am acting manager. So what do they want me to do? Manage the Front End for them, or be the All Purpose Clerk? I GUESS BOTH, AM I RIGHT?
It's going to be alright though. I'm switching my Cashier hours for Night Crew hours, and I'll still be able to be a Bookkeeper three days a week. I'm going to need all the hours I can get, since me and Wesley are finally moving in together in about three weeks. :)

Random Entry
Today I have decided to write a random entry. This entry will be so random that my Crazy Ass CD will be extremely jealous.
I decided to mess with my myspace page, and yet it just ended up being just as bland as I have been feeling.
I was going through some of the stuff at my mother's house, and I came across a bunch of my old random drawings that I used to do in class when I was bored. Some of these drawings looked like total crap, and some of these made me wonder if I had even drawn them at all.
So I am going to take up doodling again! I am going to draw something so awesome, that everyone will have to stare in awe at my awesomeness!
I'm working on something right now that is a bit too much for me at the moment. This project is taking a long time, and I think I've put about four hours into this, and it's not even close to being done. And now I've put a bunch of plates and soda cans around it, so I can't even work on it until I clean the area. AND! I lost my awesome sketching pencil.
I'm going to go out and buy mechanical pencils and really awesome black pens, and then I'm going to sit around for a while and just draw random nothingness. Maybe I'll resurrect some of the other characters that I discovered from these old pictures. Then I'll make a new story plot that is actually cool, and something that is worthwhile thinking about, and then I will write the story, draw the cover, get it published, and then become rich and famous!
Then I'll buy a house with a pool inside it, because that would be bad ass.
I don't know what's up with my wireless router, but I have the internet directly connected to my laptop now. Every time I try to plug the ethernet cord into my router, it connects, says it's connected, my laptop connects to it, but then it won't display internet pages. I think I might have to go buy a new one, or just say "Fuck it!" and leave it connected to my computer. The thing runs a bit faster plugged right into it, but I can't move my laptop anywhere.
And I'm still debating growing my hair back out. I'm getting it cut on Wednesday to tidy it up (cause it looks very awkward now).
And my Crazy Ass CD wasn't as jealous as I thought. Not when it consist of things like:
And...

"We've already put over 100 miles on the car...and me and Mellanie have to pay gas for it. Luckly it only costs about $20 to fill it up...but we've done so much driving, that we're going to be short about...oh...A LOT OF MONEY" ~Me on June 28, 2004.

A Rant of DOOM
I never write in this thing anymore, and I feel like I should.
I was reading through my old entries, and I feel like I'm a completely different person now. I honestly feel more plain and boring now than I did in high school. I feel quite...well...the best word I could think of is monotone.
Maybe I should get back in to stupid fanfiction, where I spend most of my time writing horrible pieces for people to look at on the internet, only to stumble across it on a badfic site somewhere.
But I know that I am a horrible writer, and now, with my new monotone self, I couldn't write anything decent to save my life.
Anyway, I've practically been working my ass off this past year. I pretty much live a Fry's. Everyone asks me if I have my own bed in the back somewhere because I am always there. I just laugh and say "Yes, it's true.", before going back to standing around watching people take care of themselves on Uscan (which by the way, is the most horrible idea on the planet).
You wanna talk about horrible customer service? I would have to give props to Fry's Corporate office in Cincinnati. I am applauding your tremendously awesome decision to open and close all Fry's stores with the Uscan.
See me? I'm applauding.
Idiots.
I swear, if I have to fake smile at someone who is basically calling me a horrible person...it's just wrong. And what can I do? I just sit there and take it like the obedient customer slave that I am. Or I hand them a complaint card. That's about it.
And nothing makes any sense there either. They put the most efficient cashier on the Uscan, while having the slower cashier run the only open check lane for an hour straight. Talk about inefficient ways to piss off customers. Which is exactly what it's doing.
Plus, the Uscan is completely retarded. If you're not a cashier, you get confused and start yelling at the screen. I can't even count how many people have looked over at me with helpless and annoyed expressions on their faces when the pinpad says "Please Wait for Cashier" because they didn't press the GIANT RED "Pay Now" button.
And the fact that this is going on while I'm helping another customer. So they insist on practically interrupting me with their stupid "Hell-o! It says 'wait for cashier'!" and their ridiculous hand gestures that makes me want to cut off their arms and beat them with said arms.
And they're so impatient! If I'm actually lucky enough to be running the register until 10 on a closing shift, I get a customer that complains about how long the lines are when they are the third person in line."Excuuuuse me! But can you open up another register!?"
If I'm the only cashier open, what makes you think that there's another one readily available? What makes you think that you're so special that you can just get special treatment whenever you want?
It makes me laugh my ass off too, when the manager comes and cashiers, and that person ends up next in line behind someone else, and I bring through 4 customers before she even sees the start of her order. Basically, if the manager hadn't shown up, she would have been in and out before she could blink her eyes. Patience is an important thing to learn, and many customers lack this wonderful trait.
One person called me tacky today because I was joking around with the bagger and another customer about Basha's. Apperantly, it's tacky to "bad mouth the competition like that". So complaining about the way Basha's keeps their store at -50 degrees is tacky. I'll remember that next time I have an opinion on anything.
Stupid.
And customers think that they can just walk all over us because we're so concerned with losing their business. Well I'll tell you, some of these customers need a serious reality check. I would just love to go to their jobs and complain just half as much as they do, and they'll see just how rude and inconsiderate it really is.
I can't wait to start Bookkeeping. Sure, I'll be working the 4AM-10AM shifts, but at least I won't have to deal with customers as much.
I swear, all these customers think that we live to do everything that they want us to. I'm sorry, but I really don't want to be a customer service whore.
