So, I’m in the middle of looking for a new job. Last week I responded to an ad only to discover the number I faxed my resume to was an employment agency. They called me and told me they were interested and asked if I could come in to their office. I said that I could, but it would have to be late in the day. My current scum-sucking employer is getting suspicious, but being the ball-less chicken shits that they are, they haven’t confronted me. Yet. Last Friday, I made an appointment to go to the agency today at 5:00. I leave work at about 4:20 since I have to fight horrific traffic to get to the agency’s office. When I get there, the office person tells me that she has no knowledge of my appointment and that, since she’s about to leave, I’ll have to come back another time.
FUCK!!! FUCK!!! FUCK!!! FUCK!!!
I can put up with a lot of the bullshit people do, but my number one pet peeve is someone who doesn’t honor an appointment time. If we make a date well in advance to meet at 5:00, don’t look for me at 5:10. If you’re going to be late or you’re not going to be able to meet me, pick up a fucking phone and call me. Granted, there are some things that cannot be avoided. I’m not an ogre, by any means. But you, Miss Employment Agency Person, called ME first!
As far as my scum-sucking employer knowing I’m looking for a job is no big deal, but they suck enough ass to fire me just for spite. Of course they won’t fire the alcoholic salesman who doesn’t get up until noon and hasn’t increased his sales in 3 years. They won’t fire the salesman who only works 3 days a week and has lost 4 major customers because he overcharged them and got caught. They won’t fire the chemical division head who sits on his fat ass all day doing nothing. But they would fire me, the only employee who tried to help them save money and make the warehouse more efficient.
I am really fucking pissed.
That is all.
Carry on.
