Just Fire Me Already

Current mood: angry bear frustrated
The owner informed me today that he doesn't have enough money for payroll, so I'd better step up my job search because he won't be able to pay me much longer. Nice way to start a day, huh? He told the head manager (who was there at the time to do the food order) that he wouldn't be getting his entire bonus, either. Let me tell you, the morale is high. To top things off, the dough hook on one of the mixers is jacked and has been jacked for months. The owner has known and refused to do anything about it. Well, the thing wouldn't come off and I was fighting with it. It suddenly gave way and I slammed my face into the mixer. Now my cheek is red and puffy and I'll see if I have a bruise in the morning. I am so pissed off. These things may temporarily solve his money crunch, but he's still not getting to the root of the problem: crappy managers, poor labor management, poor product, poor customer service, etc. The jerk needs to get his ass in the store and work and find out why he's losing sales. Of course, I laid out all the reasons his sales were plummeting LAST FEBRUARY, so I guess he's not too concerned about fixing the problems. The ship is sinking, the rats have deserted and I need to find a lifeboat.

Still no ICQ. Marcus waited on the phone for half an hour for tech support from Earthlink because we couldn't connect to the mail servers, either. He gave up. I was able to check my mail today, but it's still anybody's guess who is at fault for the ICQ problems. Dang, I like ICQ better than AIM and I dont' have AIM configured on this computer. I swear, it would be so nice if everything worked the way it should when it should. I know, I'm dreaming.

Well, I'm going to go work on my wolf rug for about a half hour and then I'm going to bed. Anger really takes a lot out of you.
