They've been paving the driveway between my building and one next door, our whole office smells like asphalt now.

I'm mad. The service tech that I supervise was an hour late this morning. I've had to push all of his appointments today to make up for it. Since April, he has been late 13 times including today. Since we're short handed in the field (construction industry), my boss won't let me fire him. He wants to put him on another jobsite and find someone else to do the service work instead. This boy has caused me so much grief over the last month, I just want him gone. He's no good to anyone on any jobsite if he doesn't show up!!

LOL I guess I'm trying to clean house all over the place now!

[cuddlyevil]

So starries, if the kid screws up on a jobsite will you guys be able to fire him? Or will you still have to suck it up because you are shorthanded?

I got a visit from a cute doctor today (not doctor dude), he paused to say hi on his way to his office. It brightened my afternoon a touch. Nice people are making me smile today

I've been up since 4am. I woke up with burning itchy legs and feet from some asshole mosquito who decided to host a party on me.

In other news - the hobo hole is finally gone! I got the new tooth put in this morning!!

If he becomes a field employee, he's technically not my problem. So, that's kind of nice. But I'll still have to listen to his supervisors complain about him.

I just have a really short fuse when it comes to him. I was ready to fire him on the 2nd of this month... I think that's when I ran out of fucks to give for him.

[cuddlyevil]

LOL. Then it's a good thing he'll be out in the field. You won't want to punch him in the nards as much.

[starrieskies]

The urge to high five his mirrored aviator sunglasses off his smug little face is VERY strong right now.

I've been calming very unhappy customers all day long today, and it's his fault. Meanwhile he's been going on about his day like it's nbd.

Btw, this "kid" is 27 years old. He really should know better.

[cuddlyevil]

Well yeah, but knowing better and actually caring are two different things.

[starrieskies]

Good point.

I also just realized that if he turns into a field employee, it reduces my job description back down to about 10 pages until we find someone to replace him. That makes me happy. I might have to have a beer to celebrate when I get home.

[captainmel]

He should be fired Starries. At least he won't be your problem any more!

I am feeling so overwhelmed all of the sudden. I have two weeks left in the semester and I probably won't sleep for the next two weeks. I have so much shit to do. It is making me feel anxious and once anxiety kicks in I am useless. This is making me feel more anxious.

[starrieskies]

Deep breaths, mel! You can do this! You're a determined, dedicated woman and you've got this!
