hubby's job sucks

Hubby got this job at this logistic company in May. He did very well, maybe too well. The company started putting him on nights in June. The original plan wasn't for him to go on nights, maybe after summer the earliest.

The night shift wasn't the problem. Problem is that the company just gave him a 4 day "training", i.e working with someone on nights, and then he's on his own after. There're still so many things that he didn't know cause he's only been with the company for a little over a month. The night shift involves recording what has been happening during the day. And he literally has to remember thousands and thousands of codes to enter the transactions in the system. Needless to say, he is very slow cause he doesn't have those codes memorized. It's even worse when there's a crisis, as he has to deal with the emergency on top with all these endless keying. What bug me is, all these keying wasn't necessary. They had an old working system. The manager decided to stop using the old system, because he was tired from ordering some cartridges that the old system had to use. Meanwhile, the manager is too busy to implement the new system. So they are on manual procedures still after a year. WTF???

Hubby has to work extra hours just to finish everything that he's supposed to do in his shift. I am sooooooooooooo pissed off and so worried. One day, he went to work before 7:00pm and didn't come home until 12:30 pm. And of course, no one asked him to go home. He's so tired and frustrated. I want to know what is the resonable expectations. If the work is so much that you can't finish in your shift, should the company re-evaluate what needs to be done??? He didn't get paid for working all these extra hours either. On top of that, he is not even supposed to be on nights giving his job title. Only supervisors are supposed to be on the night shift. He is doing the supervisor job, but not getting paid for it. This company has serious management issues.

whole foods market rocks

I went to the Whole Foods Market in town once before, and I was very impressed with it. When you walk in, this delicious smell just hits you. You just want to follow the food and see what good food awaits you.

Anyway, hubby and I went today. We got shrimp bisque and some crab cakes and some scallops. It was $$$, but was it ever delicious. We made grilled miso glazed scallops with salad on the side. Great summer dinner. Whole Foods has a great cheese selection as well. They also have good ready made food. I want to shop at Whole Foods all the time. It's just so expensive. : (

stupid movers

Yesterday was my first day in my new group at work. They moved everything except my CPU. I went back to my old floor, and couldn't find it. Since they were doing renovation on my old floor, it was a mess. My boss called the move coordinator for me cause I had no phone (they didn't give the phone model and line number ontime for the move to Bell). Finally, we found my CPU by accident. This manager in my new group happened to overheard our conversation. He mentioned that there's a CPU sitting in his area this morning, and no one knows who it belongs to. So we went to check it up, and it's mine!!! My CPU and monitor were side by side on my old desk, both labelled with my new location. How can they end up in different area? The mover is blind as a bat.

so proud

I posted the t shirt that I made earlier on the chatboard that I frequent. The ladies love it there. Some even follow the instructions and made some cool tee themselves. It's a nice summer shirt for sure.
