I've rather neglected this blog to focus somewhat on my writing one. Now I have had things to say but I've not felt they were worth mentioning and still don't feel what I am about to say will be of much interest but going to type them up anyway.
I love being in File Maintenance. It's my favorite position I work at Safeway. I just wish I got paid more for doing it. I love it so much I asked and am receiving training to be the Back up Head of File Maintenance. I asked for raise a week or so after my training for this position started, but the manager said I'd have to wait until the big store manager gets back to ask him. But I feel I deserve this raise. I've been working at Safeway since Feb. 2010. I've been a Courtesy Clerk when I first started then got into File Maintenance and then into GM/HBC and all still at Courtesy Clerk wages despite the fact that I have been an APC since I started working in FM. I work hard at this job and don't goof off like the others (mostly the teenagers) and I have not called in sick for almost 2 years. Going into work even when I'm sick, because let's face facts, my paycheck is puny and I can't afford to miss a day of work or I'll out on the streets with nothing. And I'm dedicated, I'd have to be because I walk 3 miles to work and 3 more miles to get back home after being on my feet all day and I'm no spring chick, if you get my drift. I'm 34 years old and living on my own. And if that isn't dedication to this job then I don't know what is.
Not much more to say except I hope I get a raise, and I'll end it on that note.
