Second Last Shift.

So yesterday was my second last shift at the newsagency before I start at my new job at the law firm. My last shift is on Tuesday.

So my second last shift at the newsagency was the worst shift I've ever had. And it makes me not want to turn up on Tuesday. Thats how bad my shift was. Anyway... Here's the story...

So I was working with Jade and Tash and Keisha (the manager) was at the back doing all the office stuff. we were all at the counter and Jade and Tash were arguing or debating something (I don't know, I wasn't listening to them). Then it started to get busy, like there were 4 or 5 customers lining up but Tash and Jade were were still standing there arguing! Instead of serving customers! So I said "Hey guys, can you please stop arguing and serve some customers please." Without sounding rude, or any intent of sounding rude. So they did.

Once it got quite again jade yelled "THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO TELL US TO SHUT UP AND STOP ARGUING AND SERVE CUSTOMERS!" And I said "I didn't say that, or in that way, and there was customers standing around and you guys were arguing instead of serving them." Anyway she started yelling at me while we were still behind the counter. So I just let her yell at me and I apologised just to get her to shut up. Then she walked into the back and slammed the door. She obviously went to bitch about me to Keisha...

So I was standing behind the counter and it was quite and I was ripping up the coupons from the newspaper into fours, not halves. And Jade comes out of the back from bitching about me and yelled at me "RIP THEM INTO HALFS!" so I just dropped them on the counter and said "I'm going to go and tidy." To let the psycho bitch cool off. So I started tidying the store to get away from her. About 20 minutes later jade walked up to me and asked nicely "Hey, when you're finished can you please re-organise those books over there." And I said "sure." I thought she had cooled off because she started talking to me nicely. So I let the event before go, I wasn't going to hold a grudge, I mean, everyone can have there moments. When I was tiding the store Keisha was looking around the store and I said to Keisha "Don't believe what Jade says please." and she said "I know, she over exaggerates everything all the time." That made me laugh!

Later on I was tallying the scratch cards and putting the data onto the computer in the back room. And she was in the back room also. And thinking she was not mad anymore, and me not going to hold a grudge said "Oh, we didn't sell that many scratch cards today.." and she ignored me. When I finished with the scratchies I poured the boiling hot water from the kettle into the mop bucket and accidentally spilt it on my foot and obviously burnt my foot. I was going "ow ow ow ouch ow" and she just stood there and ignored me. She didn't ask if I was okay or anything. Stupid bitch.

Later, after doing ALL the closing jobs all by myself! It was finally 6 o'clock and time to shut the shop. So I closed up the shop without realising I accidentally left the lotto signs outside. She then said in a smart arse tone "YOU TICKED OFF BRING IN LOTTO SIGNS ON THE LIST!" And I said "Ohh whoops!" and I opened the doors again and brought them in and closed the doors again. Her attitude was very rude and condescending. I then proceeded to mop the floors with Tash and when we finished we emptied the bucket and all that. Jade then said "IS EVERYTHING ON THE LIST DONE?!" And I just said "Yeah.." I grabbed my stuff and went to leave and said to Jade (because it was my last shift with her) "I'm off now, I guess I'll see you around.." and she just said "Bye." in a very rude, get out of my face kind of way.

I was very upset and angry. Because she had to be a mental, psycho bitch all afternoon. I mean grow up! It was my last shift with her and she knew it. She could get over it.

So glad that I am not working with Jade for my last shift or I wouldn't be turning up for my last shift. So happy that I will be working with Dan, he's the coolest!!

I know nothing is really due yet for uni, but I feel so behind and stressed! I am not up to date with the readings and I am struggling to pay attention in lectures. Ugh :(
