Just Thinking

Rate this Entry
Hello. Wow! How long has it been since I posted a blog? Shit, well I have a million thoughts running through my mind, so I figured that I would just share some in a blog. I hope you all enjoy some random chit chat.

To start, OMG I did not realize how freaking HUGE I used to be. Like, I knew I weighed a lot...my fuck. I went through our clothes today, to get rid of some that we don't wear anymore or ones that don't fit. Anyways, I held up this pair of shorts that I had and they were so BIG!!!! They wouldn't even fit Rob because they were so huge. =(

So now that I have lost 70 or so pounds, I am starting to feel a tiny bit more comfortable with my own skin. I don't feel amazing or anything, but I feel better than I used to. I hated being fat. Hated it. Don't know why I never really changed it...I could have. I'm so strange sometimes.

Then of course, I am thinking about the fact that yay for me, my two year anniversary is coming up in 4 months! =D

So weird to think about how it was two years ago. To think about how much I have changed and how much of a backbone I have now. I never stood up for myself. Ever. But now I can just tell anybody that pisses me off to fuck off (well, 80% of people anyways lol).

I loves my family. I really do. I don't know where my life would be without them. Nell, Rob, Seren. I love all three of them to death. That baby is like my own and I know I would just about die without her. I would be very sad without any of them.


Soooo...last week guess what I did? I went and took my placement test to get back into school!!! I am super excited and even more anxious. I needed the break from school. It made me WANT to go to school. On the 26th, I go back for my "SOAR" which is just final registration and meeting with my counselor. There, they will help me sign up for classes and I will start the beginning of Spring Term and the end of March!!


Just a side note to all you parents out there: do NOT let your child work at Wendy's. They are the worst. They have stupid rules and I hate it there. You have to ask to go to the restroom or to get a drink of water. When you do get your "drink of water", it's in one 6 oz. cup (the cups for baby frosty's). They hire managers that spread gossip. The store managers act like children themselves. They managers play favoritism. You NEVER get anything free. You have to pay for soda. Even if you come in early, stay late, cover a shift, they don't care...you still have to pay for it. They tell you they will promote you, train you for a week, and then never promote you. If the store manager thinks you did anything wrong at all, your hours WILL be cut. No way out of that one.

You get yelled at if you don't get the dishes done by a certain time in the morning. You get yelled at if the dishes aren't done in a certain way. If you don't take a green scrub pad and scrub all around the underneath edge of the bacon pans, automatically yelled at. No cell phones, no smoke breaks. If something embarrassing happens and the store manger finds out, they will find it on the cameras and watch and laugh about it (happened to me personally). Drive-thru workers get it twice as bad to. Once you are on the clock, it is "Welcome to HELL."

A girl at work they other day ate a package of almonds that we have for the chicken mandarin salad (they are normally free and she didn't have any money), our manager made her pay .50 cents for eating the package of almonds. Her boyfriend had to bring it to work for her so she could pay for it.

It's not just me saying this. Carrie Jo from work has worked with the Wendy's chain for 12 years and she said they are all like that. This girl named Nancy has been working there for 6 years and said the exact same thing. They are fucking ridiculous.

Anyways...I have to quit ranting. This is probably really boring. Sorry. Oh well. I love you all if you took the time to read this! Big hugs from:

Yours truly,

Kiki

    Most fast food sucks but usually they at least give you a meal a day... and as much soda as you can drink as long as you don't use more than one of their cups. I know Arby's, MickeyD's and Pizza Slut do. Wendy's must really blow chunks. {{{hugs}}}

    Well said Kiki.
    It's probably a good thing. It forces people to realize that it sucks working without skills. It forces people to improve themselves. Or not, then they work there for 13 years.

    I believe they are petty like that because those are entry level jobs and most need to be trained from the beginning.
    If those rules were not in place, people would be eating and drinking constantly.
    ahh well you rise and all will be better, but you will always remember the little people when you are doing well in your career. kudos to you with school. I am rooting for you.

    Kiki, good for you going back to school! Best of luck, it will get you the hell out of Wendy's!

    Wow! It's great to see you making strides, Kiki. With all the bitching you do (kidding, kidding), you should keep us up to date on the positive shit more often.

    10 years at McD's for me. Was the same thing there, trust me. At all 4 of the stores I worked at.

    Yeah I worked at McDonald's for two years before Wendy's. However, I pretty much got away with EVERYTHING there and could do whatever I wanted. The owners and their bitches all loved me. Most managers loved me. I was the one that had all the manager privileges without being one and getting paid the same. So it sucks after having it pretty awesome.
