This week

It has been a couple of days since i last wrote anything here. Wednesday was not a good day for me. I got a phone call from my boss early to ask if I would take him to the head office for a meeting. I said to him I would need to get paid for this as I needed petrol. He said yes I will give you money, but as usual he never did. He said I wouldnt need to pick him up later as he would get a lift from someone else, but I would still need to pick up the other members of staff. About 2pm I got a call to pick up the staff and was told I had to go to the head office and pick up the boss. I said that I was told not to then they said there was a change of plan and I had to. This meant more petrol getting used.

Just as I was getting ready to go to work I got a phone call saying that I was having to work at a different shop as there would be the polish guy back from holidays and he would be doing deliveries in my shop. This hurt me because I felt like I was getting kicked out of my own shop. Why do the always send me to work in different shops. They never send anyone else. It is just tension for me working elsewhere because it is a different area and I dont know where to go a lot of the time which meand I have to use my satnav and this takes up time and also the satnav dose not have new streets and house names in it. At least when working in my own area I know where I am going and there is no tension. Also working with different staff can be tiresome. I find Indian people to be very arrogant and ignorant. They talk to each other in their own language and you never know if they are talking about you or not, especially when they snigger in front of you. It was really busy on Wednesday night and the problem was made worse by the fact that they were so slow in preparing the orders which meant I was taking 4 and 5 at a time which made it very rushed and very stressful
At the end of the night I had to work over the time because a big delivery came in late and they were slow in getting it made which meant I was doing the delivery at 1215 when the shop closed at 12pm.

The next problem was the matter of the staff getting home. They wanted me to travel probably 15 miles to take the staff home and I said I wouldnt do it, because it was my own car and my own petrol and I wouldnt get paid for it. I went home and left them to arrange someone with a COMPANY CAR TO TAKE THEM HOME. i am very concientious and do not like hurting people and will always help if I can so I felt very guilty in taking this action, but I felt it is something I must do.

When I got home I was looking forward to reading my friends email but when I opened it i was shocked because it was a very angry email and I was very hurt at the things that were in it. I am pleased to say however that we have sorted it out now.

All in all it wasnt the best day for me.
