It has been a while so time for another work related rant again about my favorite person my manager, Mr Slash and Burn. I have made several rants about how he cuts hours so far back that it is becoming almost impossible to get anything done at all but he really went full retard this time. I go into work yesterday, my first day being the opening dairy clerk since coming back from my injury and I get the rather lovely surprise of finding out that there was no opening checker that day. The lady that is usually the opening checker on Wednsedays comes in at 2am to change out signs that day making her backup on those days with another girl filling that role. Since my load usually takes forever to get there on Wednesdays and they know it I had to be in the checkstand for the better part of an hour or hour and a half which is exactly how I got the injury I mentioned earlier by the way, to be fair to Mr Slash and Burn I don't think anyone predicted the Sunday after Thanksgiving would be that busy but aside from the excruciating pain it did give me an unexpected nearly 2 month break from that dump so it wasn't all bad. But of course that didn't mean I am eager to get a relapse.

It was fairly slow because it was still early so I paced around back and forth most of my time up in the old torture chamber and did some stretches to keep the blood flowing which thankfully worked but is something I wouldn't have had the luxury of it was busy. Of course my reprieve was a bit meaningless since even after I got out of there I was back up there nearly every 2 seconds for the first half of my shift. You would think they would be a bit more careful with me because it is actually more expensive to pay an employee workers comp than it is to pay them to actually work but if they want to give me another 6 weeks off of work they could just give it to me and spare me another injury. As much as I enjoyed being anywhere but there going to the doctor once a week and physical therapy 3 times a week wasn't just a tad inconvenient.

The load came late that day as it nearly always does on Wednesdays so I can't blame Mr Slash and Burn for that, of course one thing I will give him some credit for is giving me some backup which I don't usually get when I cover the opening dairy shift but I would still like to hear why he thought it was a good idea to not schedule any opening checker at all. Since he is a tone deaf moron when I see the doctor on Friday I will see if I can get a note so I can get a stool for if I am going to be in the checkstands for a prolonged period of time.
