It’s Getting Late, But…
…I’ve decided to update on my life at the moment…
Well first off, I learned on Thursday that I am losing four people and getting two replacement people. (I am a second shift lead for a material handling company) The four that I lost were temps, and the two replacements are full time. I get to keep one temp for good and I will be losing a fifth person at the end of the week. Now, overtime is SUPPOSED to be completely cut, but it’s hard to get everything done and wrapped up like second shift has to in 8 hours due to certain circumstances.
So what I’d like to know, is how two people are supposed to replace 5. WHAT??! And OT is supposed to be cut? I don’t know how they expect me to pull this one out of my ass. Seriously.
Also, they had the temp agency call these people on Saturday and tell them that they were being laid off. They had absolutely no warning that they were losing their jobs. Personally, I think this was a very shitty thing for the company that I work for to do. Most people get a warning, a notice, so they can have time to find another job. Granted, it’s very hard right now to find a job, but still. That’s just ridiculous.
So Friday, their last day, I knew this, but they didn’t. It was a sad thing for me to go through.
But Saturday night, my room mates hosted a sex toy party. Passion Parties. It was sooo much fun. We had spiked punch and beer!!! =] I didn’t get drunk, but I did drink. It was just fun hanging out with everyone and talking about sex. Woohoo. And of course, masturbation and TOYS. I’m not telling what I bought…. =] Becky got pretty hammered though, it was hilarious. When she gets drunk, her face goes numb. So she comes up to me, leans to my ear, and whispers “I can’t feel my face.” I was rollin so hard my stomach hurt. She’s too funny.
Sunday we went and ate Chinese food. It was SOOO good. I love Chinese food…who doesn’t?! Really! I got full too fast though, grr. I wish I could’ve eaten more because I rarely get to eat Chinese. Whatever.
It was a pretty good weekend.
I thought about my employees who lost their jobs a couple of times though.
Sad moments.

haha i have never heard of these passion parties but hope to be invited to one now. and i feel you on the work issue. im not a lead but at my store, all of us had hour cutbacks and some were getting fired, and we all had to accomplish the same amount of work to perfection. a couple months later, my boss brought this up and told us that because of this, we are a stronger team. and although i hate hate HATE to admit it, he was kinda right. still, i miss the people we lost terribly. it seems as if my life is my job.
@stoneyrocks_socks - I know, my job is my life. That’s just the way it is I guess. But I have to get to bed, I’m exhausted! ttyl!
@crazy2love - good night
HAHA the same thing happens to me when I drink, and I start telling everybody that I can’t feel my face.
Thank you so much love!!
My fiance & I are over the moon!
A friend of mine had one of those parties, and I was invited along with another friend of mine, who isn’t even really friends with the girl who had the party… we didn’t end up going… but my friend did end up having a very strange sex dream about her that night, which when she told me about it, was much more fun than the party would have been.
What kind of Chinese food did you have? I’m going on Friday. I’ll probably have General Tso’s.
OMG, i love your hair (:
