ilikefree Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Time sure is flying, I didn't realize I hadn't posted for September yet! School started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and just seems so different this year. We found out less than a week before the first day that the person we had issues with last year was moving to a different part of the school. Good, yes, but since we're "only" in the cafeteria, there was no rush to replace her. We're always the last thought when it comes to anything in the school. The new hire just started 3 days ago so we were working with our substitutes for 2+ weeks. She seems to be working out well, we'll see. I was promoted to head cook the beginning of last school year and it was a good year. Now this year, the kitchen manager (the same person as last year), has been giving not only me, but the other girls, attitude. I'm always second guessing myself when it comes to decisions because whatever I tell the girls to do, the manager always tells them to do the opposite. I'm always in tears, both in the walk-in cooler and at home. I've been working in the cafeteria 11 years (substituted for 7 years before that) and have always gotten along with her. My problem is that I can't speak my mind, I'm always afraid I'm going to offend someone or make things worse. If I say anything, then the attitude will really come out. The manager has been there not quite 30 years (thinking about retirement), I'm starting my 12th and then everyone else has been there less than 2-3 years. We just can't get people to stay and a lot of it is the manager, it's been said by many of the previous employees who had quit, because of her control issue. There's so much more I could go into but won't. I didn't mean to even get into it as much as I did. Anyway, Happy September!!! 1
Brad Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 I'm going to start collecting addresses for your prizes.

I'll chase down whoever I don't hear from in a couple weeks. 6
rockpzazz Posted September 11 Posted September 11 September has been normally a cruel month to me, so hopefully it will go well this year. Nice weather to start the month but the 90s return this weekend, so hopefully that will be quick and not very painful. At least unlike last year I have some gift cards saved up and a couple items to look for on Black Friday. Maybe a new tablet or a couple other items I've been on the hunt for this year.

About 3 years ago my husband had his second hip replaced about this time of year. He was back to work by early November, and could have gone back sooner. I think he took 7 weeks off. He took 6 weeks off with his first replacement. He was definitely good to go, and in much less pain, with his new hip by Thanksgiving. So hopefully you have an easy and fast recovery!

Bopeep Posted September 19 Posted September 19 (edited) This tugged at my heartstrings. Happy birthday, Dev. I hope you’re doing well.

Cubsfan23 Posted Thursday at 03:29 AM Posted Thursday at 03:29 AM I can't believe it's fall already! I just had a really good weekend hanging out with family and friends. It was the first time we've had a houseful of people in several years. I even got to meet the newest baby in our circle. He was so adorable!

HanShotFirst Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I don’t know where this month has gone! Ugh. Work sucks the life out of me most days and then we have our bouts of false fall that get me excited for the season but stupid summer always comes roaring back. Anywho, have about 6 weeks lef5 until I board a cruise ship for a week. I’ve bought Christmas decor at Walmart already so I’m getting ready to decorate as soon as I put away my Pink-O-Ween things away. 1
