We’re hoping when there’s more furniture in there it will get better, but if not we may resort to noise dampening tools Duct tape? I somehow cracked my phone screen, think I sat on something while it was in my pocket, which means the event i was working at the past couple of day was essentially volunteer work as the paycheck will go towards a new phone instead of _anything_ worthwhile 😡 + the work to set it up for new phone, too Then we sat around for _hours_ on Sat because the owner doesn’t know how to delegate or plan. Sat outside with no water for 1.5 hrs waiting for him to get on scene to tell us to do exactly what we said needed to be done. Not the same as when his now-deceased cousin ran it; he had lieutenants/team leads that he trusted & only call him if there’s an issue. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/august-wrong-monthly-mini-rants/1032078)._
