Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Leeanne,

 

I have a few concerns about the Jean Royce desk. This email is going to sound like I am accusing someone and I cannot be 100% sure but I do have some immediate concerns.

 

I came into JR Monday morning to relieve Meaghan. She told me it was really quiet all day. I had counted the skim 3 times, and all three times I kept coming up with a different balance ( I think it was because I was very tired and still ill) .. I recall I came up with 60, 44 and 50. Because Meaghan's balance before me was 50, I decided to trust my last balance and didn't count it again. However, I only wrote this on the balance sheet because I was told it was better to fill in the sign in book towards the end of the shift when the other person comes in. When Phil came in to relieve me, I had forgotten to sign in and record the balance:( I'm really sorry about that but I figured I could sign in when I worked JR again on Wednesday. 

 

I also exchanged a 10 dollar bill for a 5 and five loonies because the Amey's driver who drove me there in the morning gave me back $4 too much change and I hadn't noticed so I called him back and wanted to make sure I had exact change to give him
( If you wish, you can verify this.. Amey's cab, cab 72)

I happen to also know it was cab 72 because he drove me home a long time ago from JR and I had requested a cab with Visa and he had no more papers left to do the transaction so he told me next time I called a cab to be sure to ask for cab 72 so I can pay him the full amount then( I even have the paper he wrote this on)

 

The reason I am telling you all of this is because, when I went in for my midnight shift today (Wednsday at Jean Royce), I noticed that Phillip had written 50 as the balance in the sign in book and then circled it and put a question mark beside it. Then on his balance sheet, he wrote that there was 44.25. I counted the till and saw that there was 44.25 today.

 

Here is where my fault comes to play. After counting three balances, I had assumed that the count I matched with Meaghan was correct and didn't verify it again the 4th time. So I do not know if this balance of 44.25 happened before my shift or after.

 

I do not like suggesting that anyone took that money so I was thinking you could check to see Justin's deposit. Perhaps he put too much back in and and Meaghan just happened to copy in Justin's balance from before?

 

Finally, if there are any concerns about my character, I want to assure you, that although I have been clumsy in the past, I am very very honest ( you can ask the Amey's man) and that if I weren't trustworthy and were to take from the skim, I wouldn't have bothered to exchange my 10$ for a 5 and 5 loonies ( you'll find in the balance sheets it goes from two 5 dollar bills to one 10 dollar bill and a 5 dollar bill), I would have just taken it.

 

Sorry Leeanne, for bothering you. I felt the need to clear this up because I saw that this sudden balance changed happened Monday evening. I hope this will help.

 

OK! So now I'm SO UPSET because I've screwed up in the past not showing up for work etc etc and it would REALLY suck if she thought i took the money BECAUSE I DIDN;T!!! OMG! I WOULD NEVER EVEN THINK TO STEAL MONEY!

 

i'm so upset! And Mani was just like, WELL IT'S your fault you should put money back in the till, why are you lazy, why are you so clumsy, if I was your boss I wouldn't believe you (ok, not exactly like that all at once and in those words)

And yes it's true that I was lazy, I didn't count the till because nobody at my work really does! they just record the balance from before. WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS PENALIZED FOR NOT DOING HER JOB PROPERLY?

i know there is a lot of truth to what mani says. And I know that he's frustrated becuz he's worried for me and cares about me.. I have to smarten up. I have to do duties precisely. It's the little things like this that gets me messed up and I do realize this but FFS, I hate getting the third degree when I'm scared out of my head to be falsely accused and fired! I need this job to pay for my Radiohead purchaSES!

 

argh! I'm SO UPSET!

SIGH.. AND YOU KNOW WHAT SUCKS!

i do it to myself.
