RANT - Long


Can I complain about life real quick?
My car broke down, BUT someone is wanting to buy it off of me as is so that's a positive! Which means I can go car shopping! Which is good and bad. Bad because it stresses me out and good well because I get a new car. Well new to me, I will probably do preowned. I hate spending money! My car was awesome until a week ago!! ARGH!

The owner of this spa I work at is a complete pain in the @$$ !! I never see her, which is a plus.  She only comes in to get her nails done or to get some product.  So  it's just me and one other girl that works here, who is the manager. But the owner never really seems to care about how things are going, but from time to time she has bipolar moments and will call us up complaining and saying we're losing 3,000 a month then the manager and I will spend an hour looking at all of our totals and we see that we're actually doing better then what we were and then she calls us liars and says she didn't say that, then she says "well I didn't MEAN to say that, you should know what I mean! I just think we could do better." WTF ?! I'm sorry,  I took "we're losing 3,000 dollars a month" like we're losing 3,000 dollars a month and wanted to figure out how and why.  We take care of everything here.  We do the taxes, the payroll, the marketing, the ordering and a while back we would ask her before making purchases or making decisions and she replied to us saying, "can't you guys make ANY decisions, you don't need my input."  REALLY? You are the flippin owner, but ok whatev!  So we ordered some product (b/c we had a lot of people needing to order stuff) then she called complaining that we ordered without telling her.  We're also trying to higher another massage therapist and we had one awesome one apply but the owner has been up in the air about whether or not we're going to do massage or if we're going to put in a hair station, well we called her text messaged her a few times now over the past few days and she won't get back with us.  It's just so frustrating.  My manager even told me that a few weeks ago she was wanting to shut the place down, but then her psychic told her not to...   ???

Also, I was sick for a whole week :/ 

I'm in a blah mood... it also doesn't get light out until about noonish?? now and then the sun has been down since 4 ish so maybe my vitamin D is getting low :(

But on a happy note my FI will be visiting me next week, so that's good

- end rant-

Hope everyone else is doing good,  I feel bad that I don't post much here lately!  I'll try to be more active!!

    Sorry about such a crappy boss! I don't think I would be able to stand working for someone like that. I don't think I can live there, I need sunshine in my life!

    Enjoy the time with your FI!

    Yay for Fi but sorry about a crappy week :(
    I feel you on the blah front. We can be blah together. 
    Great news about getting rid of the car though! What are you thinking you are going to look at?

    I feel you on the blah mood - thats been my past week or so, I've just been blahhy.

    I'm sorry life is sucky right now! That's crap that the owner is like that, she reminds me of my old boss and that was horrible! If you want to PM me, I kind of know what your going through - just not in the spa world. But thats completely awesome that someone wants to buy the car off of you despite it breaking down. I hope things get better for you soon!

    Sorry to hear about all the work drama.  Sounds like the owner needs to man up and make some decisions on her own.  I hope things get better for you!  And yay for FI coming to visit.  Enjoy your time :)

    @ Irish and Kara - It's so strange to me too!  I didn't think it would affect me, but it totally is!!  Tanning beds, here I come!  ... I usually don't tan, but they make me feel happy...

    And yes, my boss sucks.  She's so weird.  Some days it's like she doesn't care about the spa at all and my mgr and I are doing everything we can to promote the business.  It's a really nice place and we want it to survive.  We have a lot of people that love coming in.
    Also, a few weeks ago I was doing the tax stuff because she couldn't handle it and she had done them wrong  and owed more money then she yelled at me and told me she was going to kick me in the shins.  She's so crazy! 
    I was kind of feeling like I'm overreacting, but I've never had a boss treat me this way.  I bust my bum for this place.  I'm the only service provider, so with just 1 of me there's only so much I can do.  :/

    @AMH thanks so much, it's so frustrating!  I may PM you...

    @FTL You're feeling blah too?? :/  it's no bueno!! Buuut, I'm not really sure what kind of car yet,  something good but not too expensive so I can just pay for it myself without financing!
    Any suggestions?

    Ahhhh I'm so exciting for FI to come visit!  We live in the same state now, but we're still 5 hours away and the road between here and there is SOOOO dangerous  so we don't really want to drive it a whole lot!  We will probably be flying to see eachother, which will be fine ... but yeah I'm excited about that for sure!

    Salon owners are all the same! LOL I had a boss JUST like that at a salon I worked at! Out of curiosity, what products do you use at your spa?
  • edited December 2011
    Well, before working here I worked at a family owned spa so I never had to deal with that before!  UGH I can't believe most salon/spas are like that.  I should tell my mom she's too nice.

    hmm... Not really, although I know a lot of people that LOVE their mazdas, and those are fairly inexpensive. I want a subaru for the AWD next, but those aren't that cheap. You're going to need AWD up there in AK, no?
  • edited December 2011
    Yeah I like Mazdas!  But I would LOVE a subaru! Preowned Subarus aren't too bad up here, so that's what I'm leaning towards :)
    My car was a front wheel drive and it handled really well ... but I'd rather have all wheel drive!
