Oh what a day!

So let me explain a little bit about my job. I work at a major retailer and I have been there for 15 years. I am a trainer for the company and am responsible for over 39 stores.  This company like any major company focus mainly about numbers. Every move you make is being measured . So besides having classes with employees , I have to make sure the new ones complete their training on  time. The problem with this is that even when you give them a deadline and tell them they could lose their job if not completed on time;yet they still manage not to do this. Well because of this I find my self working everyday. My boss's do not understand this or care all they care is that we never miss are points. I  mean never and we must do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn't happen. Even if you have to complete the  training yourself.

Well last week Friday I received my performance evaluation and I got the highest in points you could get. But here goes life with its curve balls , I was told that I wouldn't be getting a raise. Why is that because of a term called red line. Which means I make the max my title will allow. Now how is this possible last year I was not even close to it. Then she proceeded to tell me that the company decreased the amount that the position makes. Needless to say I was upset, hurt and disappointed, with all the responsibility I have I hardly make anything.  Well I decided I felt unappreciated and that this company does not reward loyalty. So I decided that I would no longer put forth the extra effort  and take advantage of the things my position allows me that I rarely put to use. Which is flexibility with my schedule , and being able to occasionally work from home.

So this weekend I decided no work I was going to enjoy my family. Well I completely forgot that I had one employee who was close to her deadline and her training was due on Monday. Well Monday and Tuesday came and went. So today I needed to do some work so when   I checked she was past her deadline and did not finish her training. Oh what to do this is unacceptable , I could be written up or worse suspended over someone else not doing their job. So trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat I called up the store manager and asked him to fix the problem. We won't know until after a week if it works. Cross your fingers for me and hope that it does.

But even with that curve ball , I received another today. My son comes home from camp excited as can be yelling" mommy , my tooth is wiggly". I checked and sure enough it is. Now I am excited , I am ready to have those memorable pictures with the snaggle tooth. So I'm looking for a tooth fairy pillow on Etsy, I got my tooth fairy letter and receipt that I found on Pinterest. Now I just have to wait. Proud momma all excited about a first lost tooth.
