Safeway is really, really poor at scheduling.

My 40 hours a week has dropped to 21. Of course I’ve requested a couple days off this week and my school schedule prevents them from scheduling me on those particular days. However, at least in the deli department, they’ve started decreasing hours a lot. Which is funny… They didn’t have enough people to keep things running so when they finally get two more employees, they drop hours so we’re back to the same problem as before.

And I really need the hours as I’m saving up all my funds for my next phase in life.

They’ll schedule us (like last night grr…) with only two people in the evenings which totally sucks. You need at least three people to keep things running. Last night, the other person working with me took her half hour lunch leaving me by myself. It is not good when there are 30+ customers all waiting for different services. I was running from the sandwich bar to the hot foods to the meats to the register and all over. On a side note: Why would you go up to the cash register when the entire department is obviously busy?

The following are all quotes from 11 year olds’ Science exams:

“Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.”

“H20 is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.”

“When you smell an odourless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide”

“Nitrogen is not found in Ireland because it is not found in a free state”

“Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes, and caterpillars.”

“A super-saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold.”

“Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas.”

“The body consists of three parts - the brainium, the borax and the abominable cavity. The brainium contains the brain, the borax contains the heart and lungs, and the abominable cavity contains the bowels, of which there are five - a, e, I, o and u.”

“Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away.”

“Planet: A body of earth surrounded by sky.”

“The tides are a fight between the Earth and Moon. All water tends towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.”

How embarrassing!

I said that my set is all up and operational and I find out that one of the important features isn’t working: the comment!

I messed around with some database changes to improve security and aesthetics and apparently wordpress didn’t appreciate it.

Good news is that it looks like I’ve fixed it! So… you should be able to comment now. I do still have some stuff to modify but at least that’s working. Huzzah
