Very Tired

I worked this weekend, both nights until midnight. Saturday nights are not bad because I can sleep in on Sundays. But Sundays are the worse. I still have to get up early to get Kota off to school. I feel like a zombie even though I took a nap as soon as he was at school.
I have a parent teacher conference today, just the usual one you get at the beginning of the school year. Kota tried to talk me into letting him stay home today. lol I told him he was home thursday and friday due to the stomach flu so he needed to go back to get caught up. I also gave him $2 to spend in the school store. Bribery works every time.
I am having some problems with another cashier at work. He is on my ass the whole time. Now here's the breakdown, he is about 18 to 20 years old, lives at home and has no car. I don't really think I need him telling me how to do my job. We have this thing called red lining. Its where you don't have any customers and you go to the end of the aisle so customers can see your line is open. I had a back register so I was red lining alot last night. Mr. happy sunshine, as I call him, had a front register, right in front of mine. I believe he thinks my sole purpose is to red line and get customers so he can just stand there. I ranted about this on blogster last night when I got home, when I was still seething from his treatment. He also talks to me as if I am 5 years old. I am not one to go report someone but I think I will this time. This happens everytime I am near him working. I wanted to tell him last night, I am 44 years old and have made it this far without your help! But I didn't want to get fired. Its kind of a pet peeve of mine. I have noticed that alot of the younger people do not want to have work for their money. Personally I don't care what job I am doing, I give it 100%. And I get alot of compliments from my customers so I must be doing something right.
And now I have to call the school bus contractor as the bus is still not picking up Kota in the morning. I don't even see a bus with his number in the morning. I tried calling them all day on friday, the phone just rang and rang. And in the grumpy mood I am in, they better just apologize and say it will be taken care of! I am no longer anyone's doormat! I deserve to be treated with respect and have my concern's answered!
OK, going to have more coffee and think happy thoughts.

The sleepy thing is the bad part of night shift.

Young people these days have much of a sense of entitlement. They expect the world to take care of things for them.

Go get 'em.

#1. you are not allowed to have grumpy thoughts, that is my job.
More coffee always helps, if not try putting a shot of Jack Daniels in it.

I can't say I understand what your coworker's problem is with you. Sounds like folks prefer to be in your line rather than his, and that's not your fault. I will say, when I was working nights, which I did a lot, it takes about three weeks to get acclimated to that schedule. So hang in there. Hope the conference goes okay and the school bus finally arrives.
