Work is getting really stupid. It's full of drama and people who are too lazy to do an easy job. As a supervisor at the Village Centre Cinemas, it is my job to make sure that people do their job correctly while also making sure that I do my supervisor duties such as bank deposit, paperwork, and inventory. I do not get paid enough for all the duties I have to do, but it's a job so I do my best not to complain. Besides everything I have to do, I am a very hard worker. In fact, my floor staff employees compliment me on working hard and helping them with their duties instead of just doing what a supervisor is suppose to. One employee, Axzavor, told me on Saturday night when we were understaffed and super busy, that I was a really hard worker and that I inspire him. Without being cocky, I know that I am really good at my job because since the age of like 10, I have learned the value of hard work. My parents raised me and my siblings with the mind set that you can't get anything in life without hard work. Therefore, I did not get an allowance, so if I wanted money, I would have to mow the lawn, weed wack, or pull rocks out of the garden. Also, I worked on a farm for three years and in a potato plant for one year. Talk about appreciation for my job at the movie theatre. It has air conditioning!! That is something the farm and potato plant did not have. I was used to sweating my ass off daily and coming home exhausted that the first thing I would do is fall asleep before I could unpack my lunch box or take a shower. No one who works at the movie theatre has had a work history like mine. They have never had to do hard physical labor or be at the bottom of the totem pole. They have always had an airconditioned job that required nothing more of them than to show up and do simple tasks like tear tickets or serve popcorm. It frustrates me to no end how lazy the workers are. They constantly complain about the job, but then they don't put the effort into making the most out of the situation. Sure I don't particularlly love my job either, but it's a job that provides me with a stable income so that I can provide for myself while I am in school.

The other day, I had to write a note and put it in the employee locker room where they store their stuff because the women were not doing bathroom checks correctly. Instead of taking out the empty toilet paper roles from the display, they would leave them there and put the new roles on top of the display. I went into the bathroom and found three stalls like that! I was so pissed off because that is pure laziness right there. I had to redo their work for them, so I wrote a note to the women telling them not to be lazy because it is not hard to do their job correctly the first time. I wish people would appreciate the job they have and treat it with respect because there are plenty of people who would love to have a job.
