My life as a Kreitler

Well, I will have the post of assistant manager. As long as I work 33 hours a week, I will have full benefits. I have 20 hours of vacation time coming the first of august. I already do the job of the assistant manager, but I don't get paid for it. I was so upset last night when I went back to close the store. The cashier was sitting on the counter, and the MOD was just milling around. I really just wanted to tell them both to go home and I would close the store by myself. I understand that Jeaney-jean has a little second hand shop that she is working Wed- Sat. However she could at least care about the regular pay check she is getting a bit more. I don't really like Staci-stacs' work habits. There has to be a list of things for her to do right in front of her all day long or she just stands around. I am sorry but two people can not make that store look good 24/7. I am trying, but Faye and I don't have the time or patients to have unmotivated people working for us. It is not fare to her or I to put 200% into the store and have half of that taken back out by the other employees. I now know the types of questions that I need to be asking people when they come in for an application. I need to find two people who can work when ever that have a really good work ethic. The store needs at least two full time stockers, that doesn't mean they get a lot of hours just Fri., Sat., and Sun. The new guy Jerry is going to have to go. He is slower than christmas, and can't retain information to save his life. I will have to talk to Faye about what all I need to know before the meeting on the 23rd. I know there are some things that she hasn't shown me yet, but it will just take time to get it all down. I learn quickly though. I think I really impressed her when I started asking about the planagrams and wanting to look to see where things were suppose to be set so that we would be complying with all of the regulations for the corportation. Any way, I have bitched and moaned enough. I don't really care that no one reads my blog. It is really just for me.

For some reason, I feel the need to write something. I really miss not having my days to spend with my daughter, but I do enjoy talking to all the people at work. I would like to have a job that lets me work just during the day. That way I would have time with SmallJob and Barak. I do miss tucking her in bed, and reading to her. I read her, her read and respond book this morning. She was half asleep. It was cute. Barak will have to read it to her tonight. I have to work tonight. I have tomorrow night as well. Then get up and open the store on Wednesday. I hate that part. Oh well, soon we will have enough people and I can go back to being just third key. I am half tempted to go ahead and become assistant manager. That would take care of all our money problems, but I wouldn't beable to have any time with Barak, and SmallJob. Oh well, I need to go and do some things around the house.

Today I have set up a wireless connection for my computer, now I just need to get the other computer set up on the network. I now have the computers set up on a wireless network, but I can't use anything on the other one. So I have to either send the file to the other computer or just use a disk to get things printed. Oh well that is not so bad. I can survive not having a printer connected to the computer my daughter will be using. It is really surprizing that the wireless adapter is so small. I actually expected it to be about twice the size it is.

My husband recorded Fresh from VH1 and has watched Fergalisious, and I'm too white and nerdy, over and over. I actually like Too White and Nerdy. My daughter likes to watch the Fergulisious video. I don't like it all that well, but it is fun to watch her, and hubby watch it.

It has been a while since my last post. Oh how wonderful it is to be in the new house. I am really liking it. All except the having to go a head and tear out the floor in my daughter's bathroom. I am not the one having to do the work thankfully. I still have to finish painting the bathroom walls in my bathroom. I am really glad my mom hasn't come to see the new house. I really need to do a lot of cleaning in the house. There are things that need to be put up that I can find a spot for and we can work on getting the rest of our stuff from the estate. I have been having on heck of a November. I have been back and forth to the doctor all month trying to find out what the heck is going on with my abdomin. I have been having severe pain for a while now, and my doctor has sent me to have numerus tests run and he still doesn't know what is causing the pain. I think I will have to go with out my pain medicine when I see the specialist on Monday. That is going to really suck. I have to take it every three hours or I am in really bad pain really quickly. My doctor's name is DR. Roark. It made me think about the TV series Fantasy Island. The two main characters were Tattoo and Mr. Roarke.

After finding out from my general practioner, that he was baffled by my test results being normal across the board. I called my only blood relative I speak to and found out there is a history of Hiatal Hernia, and bleeding ulcers.

I bitched yesturday about the house setters coming to finish what they were suppose to do two weeks ago. They still haven't come yet, and I have no idea when they will be here to fix stuff. I have a ruff estimate on the plumber, but that is not an absolute. It will be at least another week before we are actually moved into our house. I am not happy. I wanted to be moved in and ready to live by now. I will be calling Monday to find out why the set guys didn't show up and find out when the carpet guys are suppose to show up. I want specific times so that I will know what to tell my neighbor who has a key to my house.

Well, our first morgage payment was made today, and we are still not able to live in the new house. The plumber won't be out to fix the pipes under the kitchen sink until Monday. The people who set the house, didn't connect the cross over duct. They were suppose to come today and fix the cross-over duct for the heating and air conditioning. Not to mention replace two of the supports under the house that have already started cracking. Needless to say they didn't ever show up today. The carpet guys were also suppose to come today and seam the carpet in the living room and the front bedroom together. They didn't show up. I am not a happy home owner right now. I would really like to be living in my new house instead of having to stay with my mother-in-law. My daughter has even commented on not wanting to live with Grandma and Pop anymore.

What makes this even worse is that we found out on September 25th that the house had to be on our property by the 30th, or bad repurcusions would happen. Well, come to find out the guys at Oak Creek(where we purchased our home) had forked over money to rush some of the things for the house and needed to have a way to justify it to his boss. The house was moved on to the property on the 30th of September, whichwas a friday, and was not even set until the following Monday. They had to come out two days in a row to get our house put together and the roof pinned. Then the cross over ducting was to be put in place at the same time. It was never done. I called Oak Creek Friday, when the A/C & Heating guy got there to check it. To ask them what needed to be done. I was on the phone to them at least 6 times that day alone.

The plummer is suppose to come out on Monday, and it is the same one who came out and connected everything under the house to the sewer and water. I just hope he gets there before I have to go to work so that I can show him what I want done. I so wanted to be able to start using my toilets and stuff in the new house. I can at least get things moved in, and maybe start sleeping there come Monday night. Who knows. I am just not real happy with the way things have turned out. We can't really sleep there until we have the Heating working either. However we do have the radiator heaters that we can use. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom needs to be repaired. There is one of the blades that is messed up on the ceiling fan in the back bedroom. The knob on the laundry room door doesn't work. I will try and get the paint for the bathrooms located tomorrow and see what we can do with that. I will let small-job help some. I will get the sponge ready and then hand it to her. We can use sponges to paint her bathroom as well. She wants her room to be pink. We will see. I am not so sure she would like to keep it that color.

Well, I am tired now that I have vented all my anger out on the computer. Hubby has to get up really early in the morning and drive two hours away to fill snack machines at the prison. Then has to come back and fill some at a place here. He will be tired from that, but I want to get a good bit done before we can start living at the new house. You all have fun, and don't do anything illegal. :)

Here it is Wednesday, and I am suppose to be off. Well, I have to go into work yet again. The store manager is off trying to get moved before she is expected to pay rent on where she lives now. I was suppose to be spending the day helping Steve get the rest of the house torn down. Now I have to spend three hours by myself at work. That is not too bad. We don't get that many customers in the store in the morning. I was there by myself yesturday morning. It was not bad.

On a happier note, I am suppose to get my house by friday. I really would like to tell them at work that I can't come in, but I like being reliable. I don't want to go back to working at the bank. As much as I liked the pay, it is just not worth, the long hours. We just need to set aside the money for the house payment, and get that a head as much as we can so that, as soon as I have a budget set up I can quit my job. We will also need to set aside the money to pay the plumber. I will not use the master bathtub in the new house. I can't even see how we would be able just to sit in it. I will be calling Samantha as soon as 11:45 rolls around. She can either be there by then or I will call Jean and leave right at 12. Sam was late yesturday. Well, Sam didn't show up on time again. She was late by about 15 minutes. I even called her house and her room mate said she was on her way. Sam showed up 30 minutes later. I am sorry it doesn't take 30 minutes to drive 10 miles.
