OK, still not a happy post but a shorter one and get to happy stuff in the next one, promise.

My father is an ass.  So is my boss!  Oops, one and the same.
A total and complete ass!

He orders the wrong part number and somehow it's my fault.  The last three Vermont Castings parts he has told me to order were the wrong part number!  Somehow this is my ( Read more... )

I don't understand why he refuses to recycle.

He says he won't make a difference.  "Why should I piddle around looking for something to recycle in when I've got a trash can right here."  Another one of his arguments is that why should someone else profit from his garbage.

I don't get it.  I have two bins under my desk, one for recycling and one for ( Read more... )

So when I am getting ready to leave on Wednesday my dad asked me to make sure I got the store clean because Bob (our Travis sales rep) was coming Friday.  I told him-again! that I was off Thursday.  "Oh yeah" (it has only been on the calendar everyday for the last week reminding him.  So I stayed until almost 6 on Wednesday evening cleaning ans ( Read more... )

Oy.  Busy Saturday, relaxing Sunday.  I do need to spend some time playing catch-up and since my computer is FUBAR I snagged my dad's lap-top while he's out of town...I want a lap-top!!!!!!.  A lot of stuff has gone on recently.

• I did not get the job at Weigle's, more on that another time. 
• Tom did get a job.  He is back working for the same ( Read more... )

Well I finally got paid.  Of course it was like getting blood from a turnip.  I asked him repeatedly after my last post.  He went out to do an estimate and I asked him if he would be back before 4 so I could get a check.  "I think so, probably."

When he got back I asked him again and told him I needed it before 4:30 so I could get it in the bank ( Read more... )

Ok, it has been done ( Read more... )

I am going to quit today if I don't get at least the last months pay.  I have decided.  Tom and I talked about it last night and he's ok with it.

I haven't talked to the boss yet- yes I have to think of him that way to do it.  But I informed him I needed to speak to him.  I will do this by the end of the day.  I even wore my power shoes, my "good ( Read more... )

Ok, so it is no secret I HATE MY JOB.  That's pretty much what this rant will be ( Read more... )

He drives me crazy!  Any time he thinks I am doing something I shouldn't he is all over me.  I was getting directions- OMG not for work or a customer.  He got all pissy.  Then he got all pissy because I scheduled him for two jobs, both of which I thought would take him about an hour a piece.  The first one turned into a much larger job than ( Read more... )

I am looking forward to convention.  I didn't go last year but it always inspirational.  Some of the workshops are topics I feel strongly about so I know I will enjoy those.  I also enjoy the fellowship and reconnection with women I look up to and respect but only get to see one or twice a year ( Read more... )
