Motivating motivation

I hate my boss. It's weird, because she's a nice person. Lets me take time off at inconvenient times for vacations. She was super flexible when my cat got and I came in late from being at the vet then had to leave early to have her put down. She's great about giving us the days/weekends we want if we tell her in advanced.

So... why do I hate her? She's not a manager. Technically that's her job, but she doesn't do it. She won't make a front desk schedule because she says we're adults and should work it out ourselves she's not our mom. Which leads us to try to screw each other over and leave the low-man out at the desk for hours on end - but will she step in to stop it, no. We have to do that.

It is January 12 and we do not have an actual schedule of hours telling us the days and hours we work. HALF way through the month!!

Last night I got in after driving hours in a snow storm and shoveling my drive (we have a service, but our drive is steep and they hadn't plowed yet) to an email from boss. The gist - didn't you know we have shortened hours this weekend? (the weekend I'm working) I thought you read the newsletter.

The NEWSLETTER. I was supposed to read the NEWSLETTER to find out from my boss that I will be short two hours this week? That I could have made up those hours on Monday and Tuesday (when I had the time) if I had known. Heaven forbid she actually tell me face to face last week when she decided to shorten the hours. No. She waits until Tuesday night to email me because she's a coward who doesn't like confrontation.

I know it's not kosher and I could probably get fired - oh lets face it my boss wouldn't do that to me that would mean she'd have to confront me!- but I am searching for new jobs at work. Too freakin' bad if it makes me look bad. I am sick of this place and her in particular.

On the plus side - it took me so long to get home yesterday I didn't eat dinner before falling into bed last night and I am -1.25 today! YAY!
