Catchin’ Up

Forgot to mention the training thing in my last entry: LAME! OK, that about covers it. Our district HR manager just read through the safety policies and emergency checklists for us. It only took two hours but still…

I did end up going in Friday night, and it’s probably a good thing I did. I did a few projects and then jumped on freight to help some of the folks that were behind. I actually ended up leaving about an hour later than I was supposed to. Anyway, the PooBah was impressed, gave us an exceeds for the visit (the scale goes: unacceptable, below, meets, exceeds, outstanding) so we were happy. This is the same guy that fired a facility manager during a visit his store was so bad. I asked one of the senior managers what we were shooting for with this visit since he’s been so hard on everyone. I asked are we shooting for "acceptable", not getting reprimanded, or just trying to keep our jobs. She laughed and said we were shooting for outstanding, so if we missed anything we’d still be at exceeds. I guess she was right.

But if I hear her going on about facing and fronting one more time when the frakking stock hasn’t even been put on the shelves yet I’m going to strangle her. FIrst learn walk, then learn fly. Dorkwad.

Been up for most of the past thirty-four hours: I had to work Friday night, then I was expecting Ember sometime on Saturday, and since I have to work tonight I had to stay up Saturday night as well. Ember never showed, TacoBoy had the day off so they stayed home making Christmas presents. And I’m sure there was eventually more to it than that since I don’t think they had his kids this weekend.

I’m soooooooooo tired. One more hard week and it’ll be calm again for another nine months. Six more weeks (one of which I should have off entirely) and I’ll be back on days for at least two years. Cool. As soon as they let me know about my holiday/transition week I’ll have to reschedule my date.
