I woke up early this morning.

Most likely because I went to sleep early.

Anyway. Since I was up so early, I thought I'd bring donuts in to work for ... well, everyone, really. It seemed like it would be nice. I ended up getting in about thirty minutes early.

This is not, in and of itself problematic.

What IS promblematic is that my shift hasn't even started, and my manager is already dumping stuff on my lap -- new things I'm going to be doing. He never asks us if we're willing to volunteer for a duty anymore. He just says, "Today, you're going to be doing...." And WHAT it turned out I was going to be doing was some form of conference call with a whole bunch of customers.

I'd never done it. Never seen it done. Not even was supposed to be working.

But he's dropping a new duty on me, and when I interupt his instructional tirade to say, "I don't even start working for another twenty minutes," he gives me a look as if to say, 'What kind of attitude is that?'

Also, the company president still cannot spell my name.

I'm always 'Brain'.

Vexxing.

Anyway. Thank you for the support in the replies to my last whine; they meant a lot to me. I'm going to be looking for work tonight and ... well, until this company either drops like the rock it is, or I get another job.

Secondly, is it unreasonable to expect me to do work when it's not my shift if I'm still at work? I think it might be; what else am I doing at work, after all. But at the same time, it seems to me that legally, this is wrong.

Tomorrow, should someone pester me, I will explain exactly what I think is wrong with the world. It'll be chock FULL of innacurate fun. :D
