Have A Good Old Moan....

I'm in the process of changing my benefits and they seem to be dragging it out, I have enough financial worries as it is without having to wonder how long I will have to wait before I next get a payment 🙁

I am so annoyed -.- the numpty who does the rotas has repeatively put me in mondays 1-9 even thought he knows and can see in my avaiablity that i'm not aviable past 2pm.
and now! hes put me in the sunday before xmas and said if i don't work it then i'll have a disaplinary.
i'm contracted to 4 hours, it's not a permanet contract so why do they expect me to bail on my other job which is minimum 20 hours and permanet to work for them? its ridiculous. i thought the rota supervisor liked me. obviously not when he's trying to get rid of me by asking me to work a sunday -.- SO annoyed. i bet it's because i was ill yesterday, i mean basically if you're ill or late then they'll try get rid of you (not the top manager though cos he's lovely ^_^) so i'm going to talk to the top manager as he can over ride him and see what he says 🙂 do you think that's a good idea? i'm not sure if i'm going to get ''it's Next's policy''? sigh, i right enjoy my job there even though it's completely burning up all my energy and i set off 2 hours before i start! ):

I did a bit of work for Next last Christmas, but was basically muscled out as I injured my leg and couldn't work for a couple of shifts. Also, my contract was for 8hrs a week, but the unspoken rule was that if you didn't agree to at least 14 hours or so, they'd get rid of you. I've not shopped in Next since then!!

What really annoyed me yesterday was the fact that I'm on the charity committee at work & we were doing our anual christmas coffee morning today & we usually sell buns & do a raffle, so I went round my floor of work & nobody wanted to help out, buy raffle tickets or even give any change they had to buy any pizes but they all gave off when we said we might have to cancel as we didn't have enough help.
What annoyed me most was that no1 gave anything to help the charities but they're all willing to give to a collection for someones b'day & all they got was a small slice of cake & it's not like they have no money as we all got a good payrise last week & they still wouldn't even give just £1 & some of them are supposed to be 'good living'  -r-

Sorry bout the rant but it just really annoyed me how some people are so uncharitable unless they're getting something out of it.

maybe they have a lot of bills? Families to pay for? Sometimes getting a payrise or a bonus doesn't mean people have money to give, unfortunately. And maybe they still give for birthday whip-rounds because it's for their workfriends? Or maybe they like to choose there own charities to give to?
Best to not worry about it and keep doing your best for the charity committee 🙂

Zara, the same happened to my sister in Next when she worked for them at Christmas time. They even went as far as to bully her about her weight to try and get her to leave (because at the time she was a size 16/18 and they were all very skinny)

That's disgusting how Next treats their employees--so glad I don't shop there!  It was always too stuck-up for me, anyway XP

And I agree about the charity thing--we do a *lot* of charity fundraisers at my work, and we all contribute where we can, but to contribute to every single one would probably put us all out £10-20 a month and this time of year in particular, I hear a lot of people say that charity starts at home.

I think people feel pressured to contribute to birthday whip-rounds, whereas there's less pressure to give to charities?

There's a lot of pressure where I work to put in to birthday whip rounds, charity fundraisers and also to sponsor people doing things for charity. I work in a building with about two thousand people, and there are constantly people coming round asking for donations for one cause or another or for someone's birthday or retirement or someone going off on maternity leave. I now adopt a blanket 'I'm not contributing' approach to everything, and if I want to give to charity, I'll choose the charity myself and donate in my own time.

I don't contribute at work now either, not since I got married. I used to do all the wedding cards and whip-rounds and when I got married, hardly anyone bothered. Stuff you then.

i feel awful, but, i never give to charities ever unless they're animal ones such as the local district one, i just dislike giving money to well, humans? idk, i just don't, plus tbh i'm 16 on the shattest wage ever and i'm saving for driving lessons so i need all the pennies i can tbh!
but what bugged me was this week at college, they did a thing where if you forgot your lanyard with your pass on, you had to pay a minimum of £1 to a cancer charity fund or some s*** and i just thought, no, if you forget, you forget, it's only human and i'm not being forced to pay my hard earned money if i don't want to :I i didn't take it yesterday cause i wasn't actually in class but me and my friend went in to the canteen to meet a friend and had to double up through the gates so they wouldn't bum me and take a quid...
that sounds really petty but it's my money i can do what i want with it ._.

my moan is still got a cold and after almost 2 WEEKS the jewellry for my cheeks hasn't been delivered to my piercer yet. STILL. it's taking the absolute p**s.. it's not the piercer's fault i know that, he's ordered and paid for my jewellry and they just haven't arrived. i'm stuck on what to do cause they still have my £10 deposit :I i really don't wanna wait any longer knowing me i'll just end up having them christmas eve or something daft!!

I ran out of my normal conditioner so i had to use another one and my hair feels like poo 🙁

Vodafone are screwing me over again...sigh 🙁

I had unused holiday from last year which my work said I could carry over, and I took them in October. Now, I'm leaving at the end of the month and they're refusing to pay me for the hours I've accrued since August as my contract stated no holiday can be carried over so the days I took in October have come off  this year's entitlement. I have worked SO many hours unpaid in the last 3 years, I feel really aggrieved 🙁

I went to the doctor and got a new antidepressant - after reading a bit more about the one I'm currently on I found another known side effect is feelings of irrational anger and I've had that SO MUCH this past year! OMG! So now I'm trying fluoxetine - yup, good old Prozac. I feel very trendy 😉

my husband is being such a scrooge it's unreal. Every time I get happy about christmas, he ruins it 🙁 and I have things that I asked him to drive to the tip 6 months ago, that are still laying around the house so I don't feel able to relax cause the house looks a mess

I like a perfectly clean and clutter free environment for christmas, and it's not possible for me to move the stuff as it's too big and heavy for me and there's nowhere for it to go but to the tip and I dont drive 🙁

I recently became an Avon dealer so a relative made a big order and now she says she doesn't have to give the whole money so i have to pay around 20 euro myself and i am very pissed at her.
