And on top of thing I had apologized top her a couple times even though I didn't think it was my fault.&nbsp; We had recently gotten a new manager from the next door store Marble Slab and she had only worked there for a month or so.&nbsp; She had brought most of her crew from Marble slab with her and our two crews didn't mix well because the work ethic was completely different.&nbsp; Marble slab crew wanted to screw off at work and ours didn't.&nbsp; So whenever I was a shift leader for the evening, I wouldn't put up with the laziness and made them work.&nbsp; In return they didn't like me because I was the hard ass and supposedly intimidated them.&nbsp; the other shift leaders were lazy too so nothing ever got done when they were on duty.&nbsp; So they complained to the new manager and she complained to my boss leaving me with the stigma that working hard and trying to run the story the way that the owners want it to be run is not the way to go.&nbsp; you are supposed to be lazy and have no opinion and apparently it will pay off.&nbsp; So unfairly, and unjustly they have slowly dwindled their crew down to all white people.&nbsp; Fancie that eh? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:monast:1047 2007-05-14T02:53:24Z 2007-05-14T02:53:24Z <i><font color="#ff0000">Yeah you thought this entry was going to be all meaningful and stuff.&nbsp; Nope.&nbsp; Just some bull shit I was thinking of when I sat down after playing dominos and set with my mother on a wonderful mothers day of drinking margaritas and eating Mexican food.<font color="#ffff00">&nbsp; <font color="#ff6600">Yay for us.&nbsp; <font color="#000080">Margaritas and fun stuff.... <font color="#00ff00">WAHOOOO lookies rainbow colors.&nbsp; <font color="#800080">Wee.<br /></font></font></font></font></font></font></i> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:monast:889 2007-05-07T23:55:48Z 2007-05-07T23:55:48Z frustrated with insurance companies.... and my shoulder hurts.&nbsp; never get into a car wreck.&nbsp; it sucks... urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:monast:538 2007-05-06T23:24:09Z 2007-05-06T23:24:09Z hi my sister is typing for me because my arm is hurt.<br /><br />I like dolphins and pretzels!&nbsp; sort of.<br /><br />this wine is good...
