It is SO annoying at the moment. I don't know yet what shifts I'm working next week. The muppet (different to Wood and Tracy's muppet, but shes still a muppet) has done them. But, for starters she's not given us the time for the bank holiday back (students get them off) - next week we should only be working 30 hours and shes put all the students down for 37.5 hours. She did the same for the last bank holiday, and I still haven't taken back those hours either. When I told her, very politely, that we get the bank holidays off, she just snapped at me. She really isn't very approachable.
She told us to put requests at the bottom of our off duty sheet. The only one I have there at the moment, is the weekend of the SCM gathering in Manchester. I asked if I could take the bank holiday I'm due, on the Friday of that weekend, so that I'd get chance to see my parents too. She hasn't done the off duty for that week yet, but she's put me down for a night shift on the Sunday night, the week before. How on earth, am I supposed to fit in 30 hours of work between Tuesday and Thursday??? I can't work Monday, if I'm working Sunday night. And then I can't fit my hours in before SCM. Unless I do long days, and the muppet has declared students aren't allowed to do long days (despite the fact that one of the students is!). Earlier in the week, I explained the problem to my mentor and asked if I could do a night earlier in the week, instead of Sunday night. She said she couldn't see a problem in changing it, but that she couldn't change it. I have to ask the muppet. But the muppet hasn't been on all week (shes only part time and is doing nights at the weekend - when I'm in Swansea).
I think I'm just going to have to talk to my mentor about it again. I need to know before I go to Swansea, when I'm working next week, so I know when to come back! I hate not knowing stuff like this. It goes back to the whole planning, organised, part of ERG. Its really annoying. Grr.
