    a very very high up person of the place i work for is coming in tomorrow, when they come into our store, they walk around it once, then sit in the management offices for the rest of the day eating and drinking, they dont look at anything, or even discuss work.

    So why do we get stuck with cleaning and practically stripping the entire store of stock, then put it all back out to look pretty, when this person doesnt care? Its a waste of time. Then to tell me that if i was working tomorrow when this person is in, that id need to shave. (im growing a beard) Why the hell should i have to shave? my appearance is presentable and neat. You wouldnt tell the muslim guy he needed to shave his beard, he'd have your ass for harrassment. So why is it any different for me? As soon as I have enough money to get overseas for my long needed holiday, ill be looking for another job.

    I think that to make such request could be illegal.

    when he commenced employment with them he would have signed something that would have spoken about personal appearance and keeping what they believe to be a tidy appearance, which includes being clean shaven.

    this is the same terms of employment i am under, and i fully know what is expected of me.

    the fact that our store manager is a joke in himself makes it easy for me to whatever i want tho :P

    Well after spending more than a week re arranging everything in this stupid room, including 2 new sets of shelves... i have accomplished.... NOTHING!! I for some reason seem to have exactly the SAME ammount of room *(NONE)* than what I had before?? How is this possible. Its subspace at work I tell you...

    I still cant put any clothes in my wardrobe cos... well its full of frikkin unbuilt Zoids, I still cant put the rest of my transformers out... cos well... the shelves are frikkin full.

    I cant put any more shelves anywhere else in this house, cos dispite the fact I pay for the whole house, my darn mother who doesnt put anything in (except irritation) keeps shouving everything I own back into this one frikking room. Now when Im used to having a 2 bedroom house + Double Garage all to myself... to go down to ONE room, because I opened my big stupid mouth and offered her 2 Rooms in a 4 Bedroom house (that because she didnt put in the lousy $200 a fortnight we had to move back to a 2 bedroom) cos she coudln't afford where she was living? (obviously she translated this gesture as - Move In, Take Over, Pay Nothing & Expect More.)

    Now sure... I CAN get rid of her... (no not like that...) BUT It requires me to find her somewhere to go, pack her stuff, MOVE HER and Continue putting in money for rent... belive me Id do it in a second if it was an affordable option. But since dispite a hospital stint back in october im still not 100% up to working.. its not an option right.. now.. this second.

    SO.. yeah Im just having a rant about it.... I feel better now. Really..

    Buy some more shelves and just build them in the lounge room and set them up there. I'd like to see her move them then. Or would she just put her stuff on them?

    When was the last time such a line worked on anyones relitives? I wouldnt put up such a long rant if it where as easy as that. One of those long... family fueds lies behind it all.. and yes... some people arent easily shifted.

    .. Anytime I ask anyone for help with the situation .. they scatter like cockroaches when you turn the lights on. Family = Annoying.
