Last blog of the night I swear.
Walmart, you're enjoying this, aren't you?

It's after midnight and I can't sleep.

I've always been prone to sleep trouble. Never full on insomnia, but those nights every so often when I can't get to sleep until real late/early and have fitful and unproductive sleep. For no apparent reason. And this happens to me at least once every one or two months.

So, Walmart, you just had to give me all 2-11 shifts last week to train my body to sleep later. then, after one day off, I have to go back on at an earlier shift. And as it's shaping up, without the maximal amount of sleep.

Oh, I'll cut you a little slack, walmart. I watch I am Legend today on Pay per view and it's an excellent movie that's left me a bit unsettled. And I'll admit my shift tomorrow isn't that early, at 11-8. I know you've screwed me way worse in the past. (Such as those times you've had me work to a 11 one night then have me come back in at 7 the next morning. On such times I was tempted not to go home at all, but merely set up camp in the break room. I didn't, ofcourse, becasue that would have been insubordinate.) And I'll admit that the next day tuesday I have off again, which helps, even if I have to spend most of it on another commitment.

So what I'm saying Walmart, is that I'm facing a slightly annoying and uncomfortable situation and I feel it should be part of my benefits package that I should blame you for it. Have a good night.

Here is Wal-Mart's reply in it's entirety:

Dear loyal employee,

We don't care in the slightest.

Warmest regards,
Wal-Mart.

:P

The one good thing I can say is that my boss changed for the better. My new boss has approved my week off this summer to go to Disney World. My boss last year would have procrastinated and not even looked at my request until one month before hand. He would have told me, "Sure, great, I'll give you the time off!" then deny it to me when all my travel plans were set. I would have confronted him about it, and he would have said, "Now, I never said you'd get the time off." I would have politely noted he was lying, and he would have non committally said something about "working with me on the problem" and shoved me out of his office. I then would have had to go over his head to clear the whole thing up.

I know that's what would have happened, because that's what happened last year.

Here's a potential use for your refund check: quit slaving for Walmart and live off of the money until you find a better job.

That's a very good idea... except I can't. while playing at using my check for fun in another thread, I actually have a very specific use for it: The family is planning a disney world vacation this july, and I gotta save to pay my own way.

so, I'm resigned to slaving for walmart for another couple months. once the trip's over, it's back to looking for a new job.
