Absolutely FURIOUS! (ranty rant rant.... kinda long)

I'm so angry I was in tears until just a few minutes ago.

Kevin's Store Director constantly makes changes to the schedule and it always adversely effects Kevin.  This happens often and his boss always uses the "Oh I didn't even realize that" line but it's always too late to make any changes. 

In the past year, my confrotational side has started to have an influence on Kevin and he is better about bringing up the subject in a way that shows he's upset by it and not just complaining.

Well Kevin is just now leaving work for the night.  Their schedule got all kinds of tossed around this week because one of their managers decided that the Friday before Thanksgiving was the perfect time for her last day.  She was also the merchant and there was a new window display that had to go up before Black Friday.

So Kevin stayed until 10 last night to do windows. Went in early today (10am) so that he didn't have to stay until 10 again (the store closed at 7 tonight) and ended up staying until about 9:15p. There are 2 other managers in addition to Kevin by the way.

I was really excited because he was opening on Black Friday and on Saturday.  So he would be home by 5 each day.  Well he just tells me, NO.  Apparently his WHOLE schedule changed bc of the manager that left.  He is now working until 7pm Friday (which means prolly later bc they will be so busy and he never just says no and leaves) and he is closing Saturday (which means he won't be home until after 11).  And I'm pretty sure he's 10-7 on Suday too.

I'm pissed.  And the reason this pisses me off the most is that the store director REFUSES to close more than one night a week.  He normally closes on Fridays.  Well apparently he closed on Monday so he's not closing Friday.

Well isn't that just peachy that you get to spend Tuesday - Sunday and probably all the way back to Friday having dinner with your partner but I get just Thanksgiving with my husband.  Thanks a lot a$$hole.

It REALLY sucks because I've been off since Monday and home alone all day everyday.  And then by the time he comes home, I'm ready to go to bed and he's not so I end up going to bed alone.

Sorry for the rant.  I just really needed to get that out. (A second time.  Kevin already got it all over the phone in a furiously enraged tone)

  • I'm sorry honey, that really really sucks.  ((hugs))  I hope you can at least get a little time with him this weekend.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving day with him.

  • UGH!  It is so frustrating when you continually get taken advantage of.  Hang in there, it will get better. 
  • oh hunny i'm so sorry, i know the feeling! Being that Jay works for the NYPD, his schedule is always funky and can change at the drop of a hat.  Try to enjoy the little time you do have with him

  • Bah - That stinks.  My DH is a police officer and he works day shift for a month, night shift the next month, etc etc.  I despise night shift.  Towards the end of night shift, I am really crabby because I miss seeing him and eating dinner with with and sleeping with him.  But I try really hard not to take it out on HIM since it really isn't his fault. :/ Try to be pissed at the store director and not at Kevin! Be angry at that loser together!
