More fun with work

Apparently the auditor is back at my store this morning. That’s actually a good thing. My boss tends to try and manipulate numbers to make things look better than they are. For instance (and I am sure that is why the lady is there), I was off last Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday is the last day of the week. We close out our weekly numbers on Wednesday morning. My boss in her infinite wisdom took food $ off of her Tuesday food pull in the computer and added them to Wednesday. The end result of this is to make the food cost on the weekly report look good. The only problem is that it doesn’t fix any problem. It just moves it to the next week and makes it that much harder to fix whatever the real problem is.

The good thing is that I trained the auditor about 18 years ago, and while not really friends, I respect her, and think she is smart enough to figure out what is going on, and to charge whatever shortages she runs to the rightful person. I also have her cell number and will call her shortly to make sure that she knows EXACTLY what is going on, because my boss will lie and throw me under the bus in order to protect herself. That kind of sucks because I like her, and she is supposed to be a friend.

Damn, I wish they had come before I went on vacation. That is the only thing that worries me.

Update – Well, everything was cool. I guess maybe I worry too much. I have seen too many people that work for my company get fucked by people with no integrity, and I always have it in the back of my head that I could get shit-canned any day. That’s a pretty shitty feeling, considering how long I have been with them and how valuable I am to them.

I think that “Red Hot Poker of Love” is a much more apt description myself.

Vacation Again

Once again I am on vacation. Even though I just had one a couple of months ago, this is much needed and if I am smart and keep my mouth shut I may be able to sneak an extra one in this year. Fuck ’em. After 20 years it’s not going to kill them to give me some extra time off. I will end up needing one in a few months anyway. It’s going to be a bitch to open the new store next month and have them ready for Christmas. One of my old bosses uses to call it our “Superbowl”. He was right. Busiest fucking day of the year for me.

What’s really nice is that I really don’t have much planned for this week. I have to fix someone’s PC today, and probably do a bit of housecleaning, but that is about it. I’ll probably take the car up Friday morning and get an oil change for the trip. Oh yes, the week is going to culminate in the blogmeet in Helen. Luckily I don’t have to be back at work until Tuesday, so that will give me an extra day to recuperate.

I still have a bunch of extra crap in my closet, motherboards, memory, etc… so I may try to put together a PC. Would be nice to have my own again. Using Stephanie and Anna’s is OK, but it’s not mine, and I can’t mess with it. I pretty much put this one off limits to myself except for maintenance, that way I know it won’t have any problems. No beta software, no testing. Damn, that sucks.
