Driver looking for job that doesn't suck!
« on: Dec 28, 2007, 02:40:16 PM »
This delivery job is pissing me off, and it's more because of the management of the job being fucking shitty than the job itself being shitty.

First off, we have the Sunday before Christmas, which I had requested off in advanced. Some of my family would be out of town on Christmas so we planned to have dinner that night. I got the day off which is a miracle considering this company rarely gives me time off.

Sure as death itself, they call me up at 7pm and tell me to show up for work. I had already had the dinner and presents but I told them I was busy, so they had me come in at 8:30. Mad now.

Come last Wed, I was asked to come in to work 2 hours early when I was busy working on other things. I showed up an hour early, only to have to stay 2 hours after closing. For some reason, I think because we hired some Hispanic driver who knows little English, half the night we were so backed up we had orders an hour and a half late. And everyone blamed ME even though they were late when I left the store. The reason I left at 2am rather than 12 when we closed was because, when I got back around 12, I had to take an order that was 1:30 hours late and at the edge of our area. I came back and had to take another order at the other edge that was 2:30 hours late... and me and the new guy were the ONLY drivers there all night!!! Where was everyone else?

Back when I went to the convention I had asked for 3 days off about 3 weeks ahead of time, and even posted a note next to the schedule. And of course I didn't get any of the days off, and had to beg just to get Saturday off.

Drivers quit or are fired left and right from this job and I wonder WHY.

And now they're calling me 3 hours before my shift, and I just turned my damn cell phone off. Fuck them. Fuck them up the ass.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

Yeah I was wondering why you keep answering your phone.  That was your first mistake.

Well, obviously. Why don't you just search for another job, even if its in another pizza parlor?

Don't go into IT then. Eddie does 9-hour days and leaves at 11:30 on Fridays, but has to go back at 5:30 once a month to monitor maintenance; usually an hour or two at the most.  However, there was the Friday I didn't see him until I took him breakfast and a pot of REAL coffee at 8:30 Saturday morning.  He finally got home at 10:30, we went to lunch, got home at 1 and he slept until midnight. Great weekend. :razz:

is to love, and love in vain.

I wonder if there's a job out there that doesn't require you to sell your soul and life and left testicle to the job in order to make any money at all. Some say to start your own business but it seems like the market is saturated with self-starters, so I'd have to find a field that I enjoy and doesn't have a lot of competition.

Sell cars instead of driving them.

Jobs suck.  Invent something useful.

I invented something the other day (a contact lense case that has a counter on it to tell how many days you've been wearing them)  then I went online and saw someone had already invented it.

That's how it always happens.


One of my coworkers said "drivers get robbed all the time, it's a part of the job" makes me want to get another one now! O_O

Robbed or another job? Cause I'm pulling for the former.

I was referring to the latter but the former's funnier.
