Wrongly No'ed


Current Mood: Depressed

I said no today (albeit indirectly). And you'd think I'd be happy, right??

Well, once again, I'm left with mentally kicking myself.

Anyway, I "happily" working in logistics for the fourth day in a row (fourth 7am start!!), and probably around 10-ish, this lady with a 'visitors' bag came up to me and started to talk to me, and I was nice and all (as usual, hehe). Then out of the blue, she asked me whether I was interested in another job for city Myer for Capel (*sp*??), anyway, it was $20 an hour, and I'd be working 5 days a week until the end of January. The only problems are that I'd be starting next week when I'm going away and that I won't be needed after January. I didn't show that much interest (hence, indirectly no), so she said to think about it and that she has a meeting with the boss at 11.30. So off I was working in handbags like my manager Jan told me, when I was paged to go to logistics and the guy in charge apparently thought the handbags/wallet sections was absolutely fine without my help and shoved me into intimate apparel. So there I was spending my next 2 hours of my life in a crowded little reserve area, staring at bras and unpacking g-strings and DD's. And I totally missed my chance to give a reply to the other lady - whom I don't even know the name of! I mean, sure I wasn't going to take the job, although I should have....$700-800 per week, after January, my global elective would have been all set!! *sigh*

Sometimes I need some sensibility knocked into my head.

No, No, NO


Current Mood: Frustrated

I wonder why I can never say no...
Is it because I'm a pushover? (I'd hope not) Is it because I don't care enough?
It was like this:

Myer: "I was wondering if you would like to work in logistics from 7 - 12pm on Monday?
Me: "Sure, but I have a shift from 12 - 5.30pm that day."
Myer: "Okay, well, I could ask your department if I can move your shift to 12.45. How about that?"
Me: "Okay, that's fine."

***asks manager, it's all fine***

Myer: "Can you work 7 - 12pm Tuesday and Wednesday as well?"
Me: We're going ice skating on Tuesday, aren't we? should I say no? shit! what do I do?
"Um....okay, sure"
*Meanwhile, mentally kicking myself*

Why can't I say no?????????
