Right now it's TGIF and I have no meetings and it's dressed down Friday and the team leader isn't here and I'm going to basically chill today.

Right now I'm doing my weekly running into the thread, yelling "TGIF!", waving my hands wildly in the air, and doing the happy dance back out of the thread.

right now, i found out big boss went from thinking i was an oustanding employee to hating me. this is because he found out i am close to his dad (he hates his dad and dad owns the golf course, big boss just is in charge of it). so, instead of getting praise for covering the entire golf course 4 times in 8 days, he is trying to find a reason to get rid of me. the head gal in the pro shop had to meet with him the other day and his new secretary (he gave a 22-year-old the job, rather than giving me any hours in his main office) said some of my daily ledgers had 'sent up red flags' to her! the red flags are 'voids', which we sometimes have to do. one of mine was for a man who i charged 14.75 for 18-holes and it turned out he was over 62 so i voided the 14.75 and charged him the senior rate of 13.00, which i documented on the daily sheet. well, the 'red flag' for this little wench was maybe i actually took 1.75 in cash. another 'red flag' for her was when i "x" out just after sending out a tournament. we all 'x' out when we change shifts, but when we run a tourney, we do an 'x' after the huge groups get out on the course to make sure all the money is right at that point. we have up to 24 carts and 60 people going out sometimes and you want to make sure your cart tags, merchandise tags, green fee amounts and your money all match before you get into your walk-in business. we all 'x' when there is a tournament. well, little wench, who has never been on a golf course in her life, is now going to big boss asking why we have a void or why we might 'x' out when it's not a shift-change, etc. also, i found out big boss thinks i am the one who had his dad fire our worthless GM, because one of the restaurant gals told big boss that the dad likes me and we give each other hugs when he comes to the golf course on the weekends. 'dad' is in his 80's and a sweet old guy. i guess for big boss, if you like his dad, big boss doesn't like you. i can forget ever getting a raise, even though i definitely earned one. now i have to worry that he is looking for a way to get rid of me. he hasn't stopped by the course or even talked to me for days and days. the one time he was in, he was in the restaurant. we always got along great and he thought i was doing a wonderful job...he was sitting at the counter and we had a dish of chocolate hearts on the counter. i put one next to his plate and said, "will you be my valentine?" and he pushed the candy onto the floor and said, "no!" well, restaurant gal and i just kinda looked at each other, going 'huh?' because big boss loves chocolate and has always just been able to joke around with/talk with me. when the head pro shop gal met with big boss on wednesday, he told her 'someone has been sucking up to my father.' so, because i am nice to his old man and he hates his old man, i am on his hit list....sheesh! i get to work all hours, weekends, holidays...and have to worry about this sucky job, too? once big boss writes you off, you never get back in his good graces. no wonder he's on marriage number 4--when he decides it's over, it's over.

Right now I'm thinking Tabby should probably start looking for another job. My philosophy is when it isn't fun anymore, you need to move on.

right now, i wish there were jobs out there... i know i am doing a great job at the golf course. big boss told GM when he was there that one person was a sourpuss, another was mean to the customers, another was moody, etc., but that 'michaela has personality plus and is my best employee'...big boss even told me right after hiring GM that he probably should have given me the job. he spent a half hour on the phone, calling me while he was driving somewhere and he was complimentary, told me how smart and nice i was, etc. the reason i know you can never get back into his good graces is that he told all of us one day that he hates one of his brothers because the brother likes the dad! he said when they went to his folks house for holiday meals, he and his brother sat at the same table and never spoke one word to each other. someone said, "that must really hurt your mother", and big boss said it did, but that was too bad. he hasn't spoken to his brother in 7 years!

Right now DH just called and told me that he and my FIL will be cooking at our house this afternoon. Now there's a good and a bad to this info. The good thing is that both of them are EXCELLENT cooks, the bad thing is neither one of them will clean up.

Right now I'm applying for another job which pays the same as the new one I'm in now but I think the one I'm applying for is a better fit for me, which means I won't get it lol.

right now, i am getting ready for work and wondering if i still have a job to go to... i hate working this way! how did i go from 'outstanding' to boss wants me gone just because someone at work told him i am friendly with his dad, who he hates? if his dad didn't own the course, boss wouldn't have a job himself! aaaaargh.... how can i be unfriendly to the dad when he is around?! he is a nice old man. i am friendly to everyone. gosh, i hate this turmoil.... boss has hired a 22-year-old gal to oversee my records. she told him my 'voids' put up 'red flags' for her. we all have occasional voids and have to explain what they are. i might hit the wrong amount (regular, as opposed to senior rate) and i then have to void the regular and immediately put in the senior rate, which is about 3 dollars less. the way this new gal is in the main office, you would think i am pocketing the 3 dollars every month or so. not only do i explain my voids, i usually call the main office right away, in addition to sending an explanatory note. the only times my drawer has been off, i have put in my own money. only a buck here and there, but i have never made a change to the register tape to just get rid of the buck or two error. i put in my own money to make it right. we are on video (with audio capability) full-time. there is a camera watching our hands on the cash register, too. not only have i not taken anything, but they have full tapes to view us if they find a 'red flag'. this new gal has never worked anywhere before, but she is now my watch dog. woof!

Right now I hate this job. Right then I've had pep talks from my mom and dh both from different perspectives but both basically saying to suck it up because this is a great opportunity, yadda yadda yadda. Right now I want to go back to my old job and as much as I hated doing workers' comp I would almost gladly do it now.
