(no subject)
work did two nice things for me this week. I think i'll get struck by lightning or hell will freeze over soon.
The first I can't talk about under THREAT OF TERMINATION........yeah blow me. I'm going to tell everyone before I leave :) Fuckers!
The second is that they gave me the wednesday after the concert off, so i get to spend some extra time with the one i love. Thank god. I can't think of anything else i'd rather be doing.
Last night was tecnically the start of easter. Yes today is good friday. My company does not believe in the religious aspects of either christmas or easter, and according to them the easter bunny is not a religious symbol either.
So i worked last night. And we were told that last night would be either a regular or slow night. But we wouldn't get bombarded, thus there were no extra staff on.
So they lied. Everyonce in a while I might mention how many faxes there are in my incoming file. Last night I walked into 120. This is not 120 sets of paperwork as the average fax has at least four sets of paperwork in them. Then there is the infamous fax from Nashville, which always comes in sets of 40 pages. This contains 20 sets of paperwork each. This counts as one fax. Get the idea?
So barb had to go help Southbound b/c they were swamped. Which left me....and well ummm......me....to handle four different accounts. Again.
Last night i had the option of crying, quitting, or sticking it out. And just in case there's any questions, I stuck it out. But i did tell two drivers that they could "sit their ass down and wait for me to finish their paperwork, and if they want to keep bitching, then they can wait until everyone else has their paperwork first". And I also told one of the terminal guys "that if he didn't like it he could blow me". I'm expecting an email about that one by the way. Apparently we can mouth off to drivers, but not to the terminal. Go figure.
Tonight is going to be spent catching up on extra sleep. Might go out tomorrow. Depends on how i feel.
Also, boss asked me to call her at 3pm today. Apparently she doesn't understand the whole working midnights thing. Go figure.
