I do love this commercial. It always makes me smile.

They're your dishes too
Recently I underwent surgery and because of that I was put on work restriction for 6 weeks. At the zoo this meant I couldn't work in my usual area, Children's Zoo, because the work required a lot of heavy lifting, so during my restriction I was trained in and worked the Diet Prep area. Much less heavy lifting here. It was a new experience and I was happy to be trained in another area of the Zoo. Aside from that, the other thing I took with me from working in the kitchen is the fact that the other Keepers don't help out enough with the dishes.
In the kitchen is where just about everyone washes their diet dishes. The exception is Children's Zoo, being so far away from the kitchen and having their own sink in the Main Barn, they handle their own dishes and only bring up clean ones. It frustrated me that even though all the other areas put dishes into the sink and bleach bin they rarely continued the process of rinsing them after the disinfection time or put away any rinsed dishes. I guess in theory it's the job of the kitchen person but I don't think that's fair. They all spend time in the kitchen so why is it so hard for them to help the process along? They will shove, cram and pile dishes into the bleach bin to the point where some aren't even touching the bleach water and just walk away. A dish doesn't get disinfected if it's not in the bleach water. How they can justify that action is beyond me.
Like the other areas in the zoo, the kitchen has a lot of stuff going on so it was hard to keep up with everyone's dishes and still complete all the kitchen tasks. It frustrated me that no one else seemed to care one bit about the back log of dishes. It really annoyed me, still annoys me hence this post. I mean they're your dishes too why can't you help out the process? We all know where the dishes go so why not put a few of the dry dishes away to at least make room for a few to be rinsed from the bleach water and set to dry? It's not a hard process, it just takes a few moments to help out a little. Lazy inconsiderate mother effers.
I'm going to try and be the change I want to see here and help out with dishes even though I'm back in CZ now where I'm not part of this problem, but maybe being part of the solution may help others change their ways. Yeah.....it's a nice theory but what I think will happen is my helping out will just give them another excuse to not help. "Oh don't worry she'll do it" thinking. Like with a lot of things here they miss the true point and only see a way for them to do less. I find it annoying and sad that a group of "adults" would act this way and still claim that we're a team. Sure we're a team when you have a project that you need help with, we all need to jump when you say so, but for everyday stuff like dishes it's all a lot of NMP mentality. *NMP=not my problem* Just makes me shake my head in disbelief. So sad.

Tripped at the Finish Line
I'm very aggravated right now. It's now nearly midnight and I've only been home for maybe 20 mins. My shift was supposed to end at 11pm so I should have been home by 11:15 at the latest depending on traffic lights. Not so tonight. These two bitches delayed my departure a good 15-20 mins. Why they insisted on doing their shopping in the few moments before the store closed is beyond me, and what's worse is they EACH had like 4 or 5 WIC orders.
Now for those of you who have no idea what WIC is it's a program NY has to help out women with children (WIC = women, infants & children). Basically they have these prewritten checks that they can use for specific food items. They are a pain in the butt normally since each check has to be processed as it's own order and every item must be exactly what the system allows or it won't accept it. So here I am 3 mins before 11 thinking soon I'll get to go home and crash. Been running on high for a few days now with triple back to back shifts so I'm beat, but NOOOOOO, I have to deal with these two yahoos. My shift leader was just as thrilled as I was. Apparently our announcements that we were closing didn't matter to them cuz they didn't even get to the registers until 2 mins after 11. That's when I saw the checks and groaned. These two ree-ree's didn't even have half the right stuff for their orders. We overrode a lot of stuff just to get them the fuck outta the store so we could go home. It was ridiculous. Oooooh I'm still so freaking pissed about it. Granted I got paid for the time I was there but seriously it's not a secret that WIC checks are a pain in the ass so why would you ever try to do that kind of shopping right before the store closes?! As hard as I tried not to give them dirty looks I'm sure I did and I don't give a fuck. Fire me! I don't care that was B.S. that we dealt with and I'm sure we'll get spoken to for over riding so much stuff but they can just eat me!
Doesn't help my case that I'm wired on coffee. I was practically falling asleep when I got to work so on my break at 9 I bought a small coffee knowing it would keep me up later than I wanted but I just couldn't stop yawning. Something had to be done. Now not only am I wired on caffeine but I'm still worked up about those two hoochies! God! It just pisses me off how inconsiderate these two were. They didn't even say the obligatory "sorry for keeping you so late" like other last minute shoppers do as if that makes up for not hearing the announcements that we'll be closing in 15, 10, and 5 mins and the we're now closed announcement followed by 1/3 of the lights shutting off. Fucking bitches. I hope their Baby Daddy's smack them around, might knock some sense into them. Well...ok...maybe that was going too far but Jesus Effin' Christ have a little consideration. Just cuz you got the checks doesn't mean you're entitled to ignore the rules of common sense and decency. Those two probably wouldn't even know the meaning of those two words, too many syllables for them. Stupid hoes.
