Ass Backwards...

So this has been a week that I am not sure how to describe. Some say look at it as a paid vacation, but I'm really not seeing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I have been in the in-service "training" class all week...that's not the problem. The problem is that the training is a day late and a dollar short. Let me clarify...I have been doing the work for a little over 60 days, on my own, with little help, and even to the point where management has taken a notice to my ABOVE AVERAGE SKILL SET AND WORK ETHIC... Enter training schedule. So for 8 hours a day I have to listen to someone talk to me about what I should be doing whereas I have already been doing it. I rarely like for people to talk to me for 5 minutes let alone 8 hours. My attention span just ain't that long.

So again, where is the paid vacation? Did I mention there is an unbalance in the room. There are 6 people, 2 experienced (by experienced I mean should NOT be in this class) 1 sitting ontop of the fence, 1 still trying to climb the fence, and 2 that ain't got a clue how to even get to the fence. It is just frustrating and makes for a long assed day. I don't have time for this...I don't have time for the 1,000 questions and repetition of basic information.

I will say this...people do learn at different paces I will NOT dispute that. But learning should be strategically set up to accommodate. Blessed for a job, blessed for my skills, and learning patience!

A Double...

From 7am to 12 am... That's a very long day. 16+ hours of making sure the ship ran smoothly... Let's start at the beginning...
Eh Eh Eh Eh the annoying sound of the fucking alarm clock. It's 5:00 am and I hit snooze. I dread this time of morning because its still dark out, I am extremely comfortable, and it feels like I just went to sleep. I peel myself outta bed and begin my morning ritual of shit, shower, and shave. The ride to work...awful as usual; not much more to say than that. Soon as my hard bottom dress shoes hit the floor it's go, go, go! Fixing this issue, making this person happy, trying to make this person do their job. That shit is exhausting for 8 hours. Administration sucks! Don't get me wrong, I like the job and I am DEFINITELY a people person, however there only so much a suave schmoozer like myself can handle. Then the phone call come....ring ring _____? Just the person I was looking for. Can you stay over? Me: how long? Response: another shift....another 8 hours!

The atmosphere is much different at night. But it's a long assed day nonetheless! (and I have to be back at 7am)

I'm tired as hell.....

If you don't want to do your job...

This really burns my biscuits! Who is forcing you to keep your job? I'm sure it's not the organization's finance department. And I'm pretty sure they could do something else with your salary (like put it back in their pocket) so why do I have to ask you more than once to do your job? This brings me to today's latest. So your shift begins at 7:30am and as you can see trash needs to emptied, the floor needs to be swept, mopped, buffed, waxed, etc to make it nice, shiny and indicative of a professional working environment....so why is it now 4:00pm and NONE of those things have been done. You get an attitude or have thousands of excuses when you are approached about your work performance, or lack thereof. Did you forget that you signed the offer letter to be a housekeeper, or in PC terms an Environmental Services Worker? So empty the fucking trash! SN: I DESPISE an untidy working environment!

Well I got that ass today. I mean I give credit to the chameleon that you are. I'm still trying to figure out how for 8 hours you do NOTHING but make it look like you are just finishing a task or about to begin one...but not on my watch. It's bad enough that we work in an environment where disease and germs are plenty present, why add to it. I know that I signed my offer letter that clearly stated that I would be exposed to a VARIETY of things including airborne spores that can cause respiratory failure...but don't add to it by leaving the trash to pile up and overflow.

*The power of the mighty pen*
Ms. ______

For an 8 hour shift the housekeeper has been asked on SEVERAL occasions to empty the trash, sweep, and prepare______ so that they can be used. It is now change of shift and these things have been left for the next person. I have tried to give her a chance to complete these things during her shift, but the instructions were ignored.

Signed....

Oh No You Didn't!

It's Sunday January 08, 2012 and my line clicks...I answer "Hello" and a female voice says is _______ available and I say speaking. She introduces herself as Ms. _____ Jackson (and no it ain't if ya nasty) and instantly I am disgusted at the lack of professionalism. She is calling to inform me that new hire orientation begins the next day at 9:00 am and I had to look at the phone to be sure I wasn't hearing things. Who does that? Call the day before orientation begins on a weekend mind you... Well this was just a taste of what I was in for. Fast forward to 9am, where do I go, what do I need, and why wasn't I informed? I could spit nails at that hoe because there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do your job. Did I mention that orientation is 3-weeks long. How you doing' (in my Wendy voice)

So January 09, 2012 was a new beginning with plenty of new experiences that I plan to bring you... But I digress, I have never worked with so many people that I couldn't understand what the hell they are talking about. I have never said "huh" or "can you repeat that" so many times in my life. I guess by the end of the year I will be speaking a new language lol...or several. Too many people not enough seats and the organizers keep saying oooooh this class is bigger than we expected. "I'm sorry, did no one give you the list or did you get a Sunday night phone call too?" just a H.A.M. (hot ass mess)... But luckily my ace boon was with me (shout out to MothaSista, 2nd in command). It's nice to experience something new with someone close to you. Which reminds me, we had to play it off like we weren't related but I'll get into that more and the big reveal later....

Back to Ms. Jackson if you lazy...she just burns my biscuits. Not to mention that she was throwing shade and talking about MothaSista behind her back not knowing that MothaSista, 2nd in command, is really my blood sister and I had to tell Ms. Jackson if ya lazy that she don't want no parts of that cuz fuck a job... Sista will beat that ass! Did I mention this is still day 1 of orientation?

Lol as I sit and read thru this, it sounds like I was just rambling. I promise it will make sense in the near future as I gather the thoughts in my head and get them under control; I have so much to share....
