Stupid cats and Taco Bell

Does anyone want to come to North Dakota and take two cats home with them?

Goliath and Merlin have driven me absolutely crazy already today and I have only been awake for about 30 minutes.

I got home from work this morning at 3:30, that means I'm in bed by 4 am. At 6 the stupid cats had managed to knock my bedroom door closed and trapped themselves in my room. So for 30 minutes they ran laps around my room through my bed chasing each others tails. It took me 30 minutes to wake up enough to realize they had locked themselves in my room.

At 9 Goliath came back to visit me, there went another 30 minutes of him being all loving and rubbing up against my face and purring. This happened again at 11 and then again at 12:30.

I like the cats when I am awake, they do their own thing and just chase each other, fight and sleep. Once you are trying to sleep that is when they want to be your friends.

I think now that they have calmed down again I am going to take something for this headache and go back to bed for a while. I have to work another 10 hour shift at work today.

So much happened in the Taco Bell soap opera while I was gone for a week. When I started working there this girl Cathy was working there and dating Joe one of the assistant managers. When she came in last night she told me that they had broken up. It made me sad, they are such a cute couple. I think they will get back together though, they were just spending too much time together, even after Cathy quit working at Taco Bell and went out to Wal-Mart. When ever they weren't working they were together.

Also the other assistant manager Jeff is quiting. His girl friend told him he had to either quit his job at Taco Bell or she would break up with him. I understand, but it kind of stinks. But they never really got to see each other because of their jobs and he really loves her. But ultimatums suck. Anyways, Jeff is really pushing for the General Manager to make me a shift manager. It would be cool, I would get a raise and more hours. But Rod, doesn't think I could do it because I am so soft spoken and he doesn't think I could yell at someone. Jeff thinks I am great because I don't take any crap from this girl Desiree. He just laughs at us when ever we work together. Last night she was in such a hurry to get out of the store after close, she did a crappy job with the dishes. When I was putting the hot line back together there were like 12 dishes that I could tell what they were used for before they were washed just by how crappy she had washed them.

She was pissed about that so when she finished spraying them out and went back to sweeping, she got in a fight with Jeff. Our line is double sided but we only have one side open so the one side doesn't get dirty. I was sweeping on that side and Desiree was trying to push all of the dirt from the dirty side over on to my side because I had just started sweeping and she had already swept that whole side.

Jeff yelled at her to stop doing that and pull it out the other side. She couldn't see the difference of doing it his way or her way and started yelling back. She wouldn't even let him explain so all of a sudden I just hear "GO THE F@%* HOME!" Jeff was so mad. Understandable she never listens to any of the managers, and just wants to what she wants to do. I'm always walking around telling her he/she is the manager you need to do what they are telling you to do.

Earlier, I was busy making food and she walks up and leans on the counter and says "Lettuce, Cheese, Blend, Tomatoes, Onions, you should fill all those up, okay?" I just kind of looked at her. Jeff says "no that is what I want you to do right now."

I hope Rod fires her once he gets back from his vaccation. Anyways, Jeff thinks that if Rod saw me at work with Desiree he would make me a shift manager. I'm just like bossy with the new people because I have seniority over them and they don't know what to do so I tell them what to do. They have no work ethic and it drives me insane. I had the worst heartburn I have ever had yesterday and I worked my whole 10 hour shift. One of the new guys was supposed to come in at 10 pm he shows up at 5:30 and asks Jeff to find someone to cover his shift because he isn't feeling very well. I think I am the only person that the managers will not let get away with calling in sick. Jeff told me that, I am to valuable to call in sick. Unless I am vomiting and unable to work I am not willing to give up my hours. So I go to work sick and I work with out complaining. I think that is another reason that Jeff wants to see me as and shift manager.

Merlin is trying to eat my foot. It is cute when she does it, because it just tickles.

I think I have run out of things to say. So I will go for now.
