Right on one! This is the first time in over 5 years that she has had to think about the warehouse. I’ve never been gone for longer than 3 days in the past and there were other people who worked there as well. Now its just me and SG, so this meant she actually had to spend time there.
Apparently, she has learned that my job is slightly more involved than she thought, a little more labor intensive than she thought and that SG is a real piece of work.
I thought by her phone calls that she wanted to change my schedule to have me coming in at 7:30 permanently. That was a mistake on my part, she just wanted me in early today so we could talk about SG and what to do about him. Which is really nothing.
He’s been telling stories out of turn, and she was actually believing him. We have an electronic time clock, I don’t have the “power” to change my time punches, but SG told boss that I routinely come in at least half an hour late. Once I pointed out that she is the only one who can change my time punches, I could see by the look on her face that she suddenly realized how stupid it was to threaten me about that.
She also told me that she doesn’t think she’ll be able to “let” me have the time off for the surgery in October. I asked her to put that in writing, which didn’t go over very well with her.
Sorry, boss. My doctor is upset that I’m waiting that long to do it, I’m scheduling it around my work flow already. I work to live, I don’t live to work and this job is definatly not worth living in pain for the rest of my life. Houston is looking better and better.
BTW, I wouldn’t have to shove SG down the shredder…all I’d have to do is hint that I was hiding food in the hopper and SG would happily dive in head first.
