Working For the Weekend--LoverBoy Rocks!

man_bites_dog will attest, Loverboy rules the roost! Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I can tell you that I'm stuck at work for 10 and a half hours, much like I am every Saturday. No one to hang with, as we are dreadfully short staffed. So short staffed in fact, that it really seems like they could give us some raises.
In case I haven't mentioned this before, I hired in at this job with the promise of a raise after 90 days...pretty standard. But it's been a year now and still no raise. Well, I got a tiny raise to go along with my tiny promotion to Concierge, but not my real raise for sticking around and caring about my job--which I do. If they can't afford to give me a raise, they should just tell me that. "Wednes, we feel that you deserve a raise, but we can't afford to give you one" would be enough to tide me over for at least a year. But no...they handle things the communist Russia way: "We never promised raises...we'll be doing reviews in a few weeks...soon, very soon..." Fucking around with people is not the way to motivate them. They're just lucky My Boss is so Hot Hot!
Funny thing: Some old lady freaked out last night because she went to see American Wedding and was horrified at the profanity...which she told me by making a huge, swearful scene at my box office. It was quite amusing hearing some old lady say fuck a bunch of times in an angry way; kind of like Betty White in Lake Placid.
