Work and stuff.
Sorry for the lack of posts.
I've been rather uninspired of late, so I figured I will do a general update type thing.
I had a pretty busy week last week at work, And this one and the next will prove even more so. Today, tomorrow, and Thursday I'm doing a full install on a new Victoria's Secret store in Indiana. Its in yet another fancy out of doors mall. They seem to be "The Big Thing" right now. While I was there today my work called me because there is an express store in the same place that the Indiana tech was doing. It seems he had some personal issue and had to leave early. They called me to see if I thought I could go work over there some over tomorrow and Thursday. I said I would of course. Turn down work? No way! I get the feeling the person that called me as about the same opinion of the Indiana guy that I do. She didn't say anything really but it was tone of voice stuff. I asked her how much he had done. She replied in a sarcastic voice "Not much I'm betting!". Hum.... I went over and took a look at the store before I left. More like he did nothing!! Oh well more hours for me. I found out today to that next week I will be leading 3 other tech's on a new Bath and Body Works store. This is a special store. Its in the mall right next to The Limited corporate offices in Columbus. The stores there are usually the first done when they decide to try out new store layouts ect. So its kind of a big deal. After hearing that I was like "Well guess I'm a real lead tech.. I need to ask for a raise!". I'm really bad about doing this kind of stuff. I've always felt that if you work hard, and do what your supposed to that you should be rewarded without having to ask. Of course this is a silly fairy tale to believe but I do. I feel like by having to ask I'm not doing good enough! I know that's silly and not true but I still feel that way. Jackie has explained this to me and it makes sense. Company's are there to make money. If someone is willing to do $20 an hour work for $14 an hour why should they rush to change that? I will ask though. I let myself be taken advantage of before and I won't do it again!
I managed to sleep wrong Friday night and twist my back, it hurts! Last night was bad. Its better today but still sore.
Well I think that's enough boredom to lump on you poor people for one day. :-)
