day from hell
Man today was another shitty day at work. We had to do creamed turkey and we usually are able to put them in cups and put lids on them and stick them in the hot cart before lunch starts. We got half of the trays done and my manager told me I would have to do trays in between lunches which I was fine with doing. So first lunch is over and I have 5 minutes until the next lunch period. I usually start putting out the trays for the next lunch 2-3 minutes before they are supposed to come in so I knew I probably wouldn’t have enough time to do a tray because I would have to pull out the pan of creamed turkey out of the hot cart, get the bowls and lids ready, find a tray and that Swould probably take about 1-3 minutes to do so I restocked the mashed potatoes and grabbed more trays from under the table. My manager comes in and it’s like a minute til the next lunch starts and I was getting out the other trays we had made and getting them ready and she goes “what are you doing?”. I replied “I’m getting ready for the next lunch.” She then proceeds to yell at me about how I should have been working on the creamed turkey instead of worrying about the mashed potatoes and trays.
So the next grade comes in and we get them served and I start working on the creamed turkey so I won’t get yelled at and I’m only able to do a tray before the next grade starts coming in but now I’m behind because I couldn’t restock the potatoes. Before the last lunch I discover that we only have a half of a pan of creamed turkey left and that would definitely not feed the 5th graders since there is like 65 in the grade and only like 18 I was able to make so I tell the manager and she gets pissed that I waited to tell her and says she’s going to write me up for it. Then the principal comes over and asks what’s going on so I have to tell him what happened. The thing that pisses me off though is if the manager wouldn’t have had us fill the bowls so fucking full when we did the trays before lunch we would have had plenty left but she insisted that we fill them that full so I shouldn’t have to take all the blame for us running out of food. I will take the blame for being stupid and not letting her know sooner that we were running out but it wasn’t totally my fault. Then it was interesting I was waiting for Kacey to get out of school and was just sitting when the lady that used to work in the kitchen with my manager came up and started talking to me. She told me that she didn’t come towards the manager in a threatening way like the manager told me and that she almost had a nervous breakdown because of the manager which now that I’ve had to put up with her shit I totally can see. She told me to just focus on being able to go see Jess and not let the manager get to me. It’s really hard to do when you feel like you’re being blamed for every single thing that goes wrong when it isn’t all your fault and what is my fault i will owe up to and say it’s my fault. I can’t wait for this school year to be over with so I can get a break or I will go fucking crazy very soon
I was happy when Jess called to talk to me about the whole situation it made me feel a lot better. He told me to just play it cool for tomorrow and I told him it’s Friday so i could give a flying fuck what she tries to pull tomorrow. I’m not going to let her bring me down or screw up my day fuck that shit. Sorry for the swearing but that’s how I mad I am. I actually started crying on my way to get my mom and everyone that knows me knows I don’t cry easily so for someone to piss me off to the point of tears must have REALLY pissed me off. Just had to vent about it and I’m sure no one will read or give a crap
