Well Then

The trip went well. The 2 story Target store was awesome. It had cart escalators, temporary check-outs, and a huge Food Ave. It was really fun.

I just got back from our "meeting". It was nothing major, it was just do we could all be on the same page. Even though it didn't clear up much. Oh well, at least we got paid.

Anywho, I found out that I DO get to get cross-trained over in the photo lab, so that's exciting. Lucy picked me, Sara, and Heidi from GS because she said we were "the core of Guest Service", which is good to hear. Lucy also told everyone today that us 3 are getting trained over there. That was uncomfortable, I didn't even look at anyone else because I didn't want my eyes burned out. They got rid of my cashier shifts so that I could train. Yeah! That's A-OK with me! So I have 2 training shifts on Wed and Thurs from 9-5 each day. I'm excited.

I also found out today that Angela is the 1 hour photo team lead. Yeah, the same Angela up at Guest Service that didn't know a damn thing. And I don't think she's even been at Target for a year. The thing that pisses me off is that they didn't give the old team lead over there the job. She knew everything about anything dealing with the photo lab. And to just flush her away for some dumbass that doesn't know shit about anything? That's the definition of Target. It's just what they do. It's gonna take some time before I can really accept her as a Team Lead. That will be very interesting.

I also checked my schedule for next week... Holy Fucking Cow! I have 40 hours consisting of 5 shifts, and they are ALL closing. ALL CLOSING! That's going to be a nightmare. The good thing is almost all of them are in Guest Service. Only 1 day is 2-6 GS, and then 6-close cashiering. All the other shifts are GS. So that will be nice. And I have to leave by 11 every night or else I'll hit overtime. YES! Hopefully we aren't there until 11 every night, but you know how things are.

So now I have 3 days off including today. Nice! Wednesday I'll be getting trained in at 1 hour, and I'm excited. I'm not so excited about Angela but I can tolerate her.

So it's been a week or so since the last time I posted and what a whirlwind it has been. Pure craziness.

Again, if you read this, leave a comment. Just say something, it would be nice to see how many people read this. Alrighty, have a good week. Mine should be interesting.

I not only read your blog, but I've added it to my favorites. I've never worked for Target, but I worked for Wegman's superstore (A Wal-Mart wannabe grocery chain in the Northeast) and I've seen some of the mentality that you talk about. Keep up the good work, and post more often! Believe me, it's never boring.
