Things you coworkers/bosses do that frustrate you...

haffajappa

Like asking you to come in from open to close (12 hours) to work, which is otherwise fine I do it often but when the store is a mess because the boss has decided to renovate and not close during renovations, everything is unorganized, and dust is everywhere kicking up your already bad allergies...

To make things worse something happened with the phone line so only our fax number is working, my boss just fucked off at 10am leaving me by myself the ENTIRE day... and has left me with a shit ton of things to do, including dealing with the phone company, calling customers who've got late movies, re-organizing (including all the paperwork, cases, sleeves, inventory numbers, etc) an entire blu-ray collection, stacks of movies to sort and put away (Shit that should have been done by the person yesterday)... this is all on top of managing a canada post, passport photos, u-haul reservation line, sears catalogue pick up, key cutting, fax/photocopy services, and helping video customers. All by myself.

And teh best part is I never get overtime pay.
I mean I love my bosses - hence why I keep my mouth shut about my pay (which is a labour law!!) - but c'monnnn....

at least i get to see Toy Story 3 tonight.
and i'm glad I said NO to coming in early tmrw, there's no way at this rate i'd be able to watch the japan game.
back at it on friday though... fml.

/end rant.

Did you mean it's a labour law not to complain about your pay, or to get paid overtime :P

Not getting OT for a 12 hr shift is total bullshit. You may like them...but you may like a different employer just as much...if you're making $20/hr, they're only paying you an extra $40 for the 4 hours of OT. That should be reasonable compensation considering all the hats you're wearing. Don't let yourself be taken advantage of.

Hard to put much merit to the complaint if you put up with that.

if one does not shower very often i can smell their foul odorous ass.
brushing teeth is a must.
shutting the fuck up is nice most of the time.
and finally, why do some people have to moo at cows everytime they see them, all day long?

the non-stop mooing at cows is actually an illness.

Bovalexia is the term you are looking for. Also the name of a great band from my neck of the woods. We played many a show with them back in the day. Damn, almost a year now since I was on the stage a rockin'!
