Ventilation

So today was expected to be really busy consisting of shopping, training at VE, catch up with a friend followed by a work meeting and dinner and movies at home to celebrate Mum's birthday.

It wasn't as busy because I had a break between each so I was kinda lucky. Anyway training was so much fun, neatened dvds and ordered them, returned movies, learnt some computer stuff it was good fun! It was my other work meeting that left me confused.

 So my other job was very laid back and I'd been working there since the start so about 2.5 years now and I wanted some variation and I had flexible hours . Anyway they sold the busy so now we have a new boss as of next week. Fair enough but then I realise I can't get flexible hours no more and that we are all on "trial" so the years of experience I worked up are now pretty much invalid and there is more of a chance that anyone can get dismissed without notice because its a trial. So I haven't technically got the job I have had for 2.5 years anymore?? It's a three month trial. That's a bit rubbish isn't it?? So now I've got 2 trial jobs.. so much for job security! So hopefully I don't screw up both! I'm most likely overreacting.. but I'm wog, and I'm Jade so what do you expect! But we have to now do all this online training which I kind of did a while back, but it's not necessary RFG just make us do rubbish, everyone knows knowing the name of a part on a coffee machine doesn't improve your coffee whether you call it a hopper or bean holding container. Soooo much for having an empty brain these holidays. Ooo and despite that apparently  the new owner and his son will be the only ones making Coffee when they work because they can make 100 Coffee's in an hour... it's quality, not speed! And for the record I have NEVER had a customer upset or leave because they have had to wait 2 minutes for a coffee. (oo and being on trial means I get "trial  pay" getting ripped off even more...even better...NOT) I guess because we all worked together, had full responsibility and pretty much entirely managed the shop ourselves as a team being restricted for doing something that we used to do quite freely is annoying. So not having the inderpendance and trust is going to annoy me a bit especially since I am more than capable of doing stuff. It does however makes me laugh how they want to start with 5 people in the store... DUDE you cannot fit 5 ppl in that tiny shop, 3 is max! I know its an OH&S issue, knock out one another. We also got a lecture on manners.. weirdo. Now my shifts are going to be spread out and all over the place so I can't knock them out in a full day or 2's shift. Life, is unfair.

Just a rant, basically just my thoughts at the meeting my mind will probably change, might leave, I don't know.. I guess I can't really judge if I haven't had a shift under there management yet. But anyway that is what was going through my head, and the ENGLISHES is poor I can't be bothered formalising it, that's my argument tone.
So I guess I should...
