Three new monsters..work ethics...general junk
Bad storm on Friday knocked our power out from 5pm until midnight. So the ensuing heat and chaos (hubby cranky, kids cranky and wild and bored..oh the insanity) garnered me three new monsters ..right..in...my ..crotch..Oh jeez..thanks..like I COULDN'T have lived without that. So because of the storm we now have no internet, phone or cable tv...and it is looking like it will be sometime Tuesday morning before they have us back up. ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
I like my job...but I am beginning to question the work ethics of certain folks. As the boss, if he wants to go fuck off at the lake over the weekend and not be on call..that is fine..but you really should hire someone to make sure that those calls are covered.
I had to field two pissed off customers over the weekend because the guy that was on call, incidentally the boss's son, did not do his job..and had a bad case of potty mouth to boot.
This weekend has just been a cluster fuck. I sit here and am expected to be at work no later than 9am, but the boss's son don't want to get up before 10am. The boss decides to leave over the weekend and leave his son to field calls that come in, the boss's other worker, an installer, can do calls, but he was determined that ALL he was gonna do Saturday was his two installs and nothing else..he had a party to go to and nothing was going to interrupt that.
My boss...REALLY needs to hire someone else..so what you don't have a company vehicle for them to drive yet...let them use THEIR vehicle until you do. You REALLY need the help and I don't see how you are keeping up with all the calls that are coming in.
These guys better be glad I am not running the company. They would absolutely HATE me. I'm one of those...all about customer service...kinda people..you go do your job to the best of your ability..leave your baggage or bull shit at home, keep the potty mouth in check...and keep the customers happy. If you can't do that..don't come in.
On my end, I am having to figure out scheduling these jack legs...I know I can't have more than two maintenance customers a day so that we can schedule folks who call in...but it would help immensely if I know first thing in the morning how late one is willing to work. If I know you don't want to do anything past 8pm, let me know so that anyone who calls in past that I can schedule for tomorrow. Don't leave me hanging until 7:30pm and right after I have just gotten a call from someone needing service. TELL ME BEFORE HAND I AM NOT CLAIRVOYANT!!!!
Other than that, hubby passed out last night. He had just stood up to put the fan in the window and then collapsed in the floor. Don't know how long he was there. So now I am trying to get him into see the doctor so that we can find out what is wrong with him. I would chalk it up to all the bs on Friday night, because he was wigging out badly and several times I thought "Man he needs to cool his jets before he strokes out or something." But that was Friday night and this happened on Sunday night. So now I go that worry.
My daughter goes to the rheumatologist on Wednesday and I worry about what they will tell me with her. I hope that she don't have rheumatoid arthritis, but then again I hope that it is that if there are worse things it could be. sounds weird I know but better to hope for a problem that is less of a problem. I have found it unrealistic to wish for nothing to be wrong.
Just another day that I pray I make it though and hope that God helps me carry the burden of cause that is the only way I'm gonna make it. Some don't believe in God and that is fine, and you can say I am making it myself without help, maybe I am stronger than I realize, but I swear it don't seem like it. I don't know how I keep going, the only thing I can say is it must be for love of my kids and husband, sometimes I feel like if it were NOT for them I would not have the gumption to keep going like I do. I certainly don't listen to the bs I do because I enjoy it, I certainly don't deal with the fucked up folks at work because I enjoy the drama, I certainly don't work my ass off because I just like killing myself daily, and I don't get up and deal with my physical issues because I like to see how much torment I can take. I do it because my family needs me and it has to get done.
