*sigh* Things are getting better now. With less things that I have to get for my parents and more control over how things are run at DQ. I am finally settling in.
Steve is going to have me start writing next week’s schedule on Friday, but I just spent the last hour on one, and finished it. I don’t see why it takes other managers sooo long to do their job. Not to sound conceited (although this will) but it could be that they didn’t have a mind of doing these things dealing with numbers. After all, math is my favorite school subject, and I am a computer programmer; maybe those make everything easier for me. I do, however, have a people skills problem…
You may or may not notice it, but if a person doesn’t have anything in common with me, I rarely talk to them. And it is nothing against the person, I just can’t think of anything to use in holding a meaningful conversation. This doesn’t help when dealing with the people I work with. There are some that I only say what I have to say and am done with it. And there are others that I have no problem talking to. I used to not have a problem talking to Amanda, and in fact, couldn’t get her to shut up, but now it’s different.
Anyway, I got to cook today. It was nice. But Steve did make one error in scheduling…I was the only person working the store from 10:00-11:00. That is a big no-no. There always has to be at least two people working. It’s no big deal for me though. I’ve done it three times before. Once when the health inspectors came to talk to my first manager (it was only she and I working), a second time when the shift leader had to pick up his wife from work, and a third when a different shift leader would go next door to the Texaco to buy something. We didn’t get very busy though.
Well, I was going ot work some more on my website, but decided I would give scheduling a shot. I think that I want a different design for my site. I’m not sure though. I guess I will have to decide when I get back on my computer. So I have about a year to come up with something.
I have also considered writing Autumn IQX2, my calculator program I designed and developed for the TI-83 Plus Calculator in high school. But I don’t remember all the language for it. I have everything written down from the previous versions. And that’s a good thing too, because according to my brother, someone stole my calculator when I gave it back to the school. Apparently they wanted the games. But there was a ton more stuff on there than games. I had the first instant messenger for the calculator, as well as a word processor. I was also developing Hearts for it, and a game similar to Nintendo’s Zelda. Neither were finished due to time constraints. But it was loaded…$1000s of dollars worth of potential software.
However, I was the only one that could decipher the code and what all the variables were used for. And I had a way of writing the program so that I was the only one that understood the logical flow of it. Not even my computer science teacher at the High School could figure it out. (and he’s an extremely smart guy). So I think that it is relatively safe to say that it’s all worthless code without one to decipher it.
Anyway, bedtime is fast approaching. So that’s all for tonight. I have to go pass out my fliers for my Lawn Mowing Service tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes. Laterz.
