Still haven't crocheted at all....what a bummer, my days just don't feel right if I don't get to crochet!
I just got up and have to get something fixed for supper, put laundry away, and then sit down to crochet before going to work. I am hoping for an easy night tonight, the weekend was not easy! I worked the same job Saturday and Sunday which really was an easy job, but the people I worked with were not! Saturday wasn't too bad, the girl I worked with complains constantly about everything and I can usually handle her and her bitching and it's easy for me to tell her that's enough and she doesn't get mad, we worked that out about two years ago after working together for a year. One night it was all I could take of her constant complaining, so we sat down and had a good ole heart to heart and we agreed that whenever the other was getting on our nerves we would tell them and NO ONE would get mad. Of course we have ground rules...we can't attack each other personally and we will NOT have gossiping to others about what goes on at our jobs! Now this has worked for two years and we are still good friends. But last night I worked with a man who is just plain lazy and mean and inconsiderate! If I hadn't been making double pay, I would have seriously considered going home! Since I had done the job the night before I knew I wouldn't have any trouble. He had never done the job before and wouldn't listen to the people from the previous shift explain it to him, finally I told the girls not to worry because I knew the job. The one girl took me off to the side and gave me her condolences for having to work with that guy! LOL I told her I had a run in with him last year on my regular press that I run and that I could handle it. Last night he decided he wanted to work the press part of the job, which was fine with me as I thought that part of the job was harder! LOL and boy did he find out it was! He didn't hesitate to let me know that he thought I had the easier part, so I stepped up to the press and said that's OK I'll do this and you do all the walking, make labels, tear off foam, pack parts, push totes and do the paper work. (I told you he was lazy, and he hates walking...would rather stand in one place all night) He said Oh, no I was just kidding! Then, he started having trouble putting little clips on the parts (trust me, this is a no brain-er), but instead of trying to figure out what he was doing wrong or letting me help, he decides to just whack the crap out of the part with his hammer! Well the whole clip tower (about an inch high) with a metal clip on it flies through the air and hits me! Not once, not twice, but three times. Granted I wasn't hurt, but not once did he ask if it hit me, or apologize, instead he just kept doing it! Finally after the third clip hit me in the forehead, I looked at him (he was laughing) and told him if I got hit with one more clip that I would be going to the supervisor. He just blew up at me, cussing and yelling! I just put my hand up told him to stop right there, that he knew what he was doing, could control his temper, and if he felt the need to hit the clips off that he should hit them away from me! I also added that if I was doing that to him, he wouldn't like it either. Funniest thing happened after that, not once did he have any more trouble putting the clips on....not once! He did tell me that I should stop doing work that the person who gives us our breaks should be doing. And I could get in trouble with the union for doing it, but I know he doesn't have the balls to report me either! I don't mind helping the break person when they need it as it is always appreciated by her and then she does a better job for us in the long run. I told him that and he stopped talking to me all together! PTL and pass the ammunition! The rest of the night (three hours) went a lot smoother! But boy was I glad to get home! Tonight I should be on my regular job with people who are considerate of each other and help each other out! Well if you have read this entire post...sorry! I just needed to vent a little today!
I am off to make a meatloaf now....yum yum!
I wish you all a happy day!
