Arkayn's life

Things at work are starting to get ridiculous, I got sent home because I refuse to tuck in my work shirt. I have good reason for not doing it.

Bonnie has her MIT position going to her head and has become power crazy. Looks like she will get to do some extra work today then.

So far I have applied at the State Prison, Hualapai Nation Correction Institution and now I am going to send a application to the Hualapai resort on the West rim.

I would prefer to get out of the hospitality business all together though.

Work continues to be fairly busy, never knowing what I will have to do day to day.

Right now I am back doing buffet 5 days a week since our morning team has either quit or will be gone in a week and a half. Need to get some more people hired and trained.

I still have to do a lot of the prep work like making soups, pastas, chili and spaghetti sauce for the line. Not to mention the steaks, sandwich meats and chicken fried steaks.

I am taking a vacation next month to go to Highlands War again.

Life has been fairly sucky recently.

WIth the change to having 2 in the morning and 2 at night I have ended up doing even more work that before as we do not have enough people who can handle the duties.

Hopefully soon I will get back to mornings only and a better work flow.

This week has not been good at all, I drove back from the Highlands war just fine, got up Monday morning and attempted to start the car. it just clicked, checked the cables and noticed little puffs of smoke coming from the battery.
Result= New battery for $84

Getting the old battery was not all that easy either, the clamp was free spinning so I had to chip out the portion that the clamp held. I then removed the tray and when I put the new battery in I just installed 2 of the bolts instead of the the usual 3.

Tuesday we had to deal with the field manager, he managed to distract the kitchen manager enough that I had to watch the buffet and try to put the truck away at the same time. I spent the entire day being behind.

Wednesday and Thursday were not all that bad, just regular days of prep for me.

Friday I came in at my regular time and found that out normal prep cook misread the schedule and was not there. I got to fill in for him, put away the truck and cut meat. That mad for a 9 hour day instead of the 5 I was supposed to be doing.

Now I just plan on relaxing and getting the camping stuff put away now. And laundry.

Our primary salad bar person is coming back on the first of April and I think I have convinced the managers to do this.

I want to take all the full lexans of prepared product and move them to another walk-in and put nothing but empty one in each spot.

When she arrives we will tell her that they have been empty for the entire month and she needs to get busy.

Only 1 more week and then hopefully I will be back to at least 2 days off each week.

I am getting burned out after only having 5 days off for the month and 2 of those I was sick as a dog.

I am still working 6 days a week.

Makes it hard to relax when you only have 1 day off each week.

Looks like there will be 2 more weeks of this though.

Next schedule I only have 1 day off and some even more interesting shifts.

Off Wednesday,

7AM Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.

5AM Saturday.

My schedule for the next month is probably going to be completely different than normal.

The people who normally work in the buffet and salad bar are taking the entire month of March off to go visit family in El Salvador.

Next week I have Wednesday and Thursday off and then work through Tuesday. 1 day of Meat prep, 1 day of prep and 3 days of morning buffet.

After that it will be completely up in the air.

Hours going up a little bit.

Next week I am actually scheduled for 5 days of work instead of 4, of course I have split days off!!
