Today sucked.
Tuesday was fantastic, however. Had a blast.
Today sucked.
To start with, my boss was in a prick mood today. We all have our days, but he was being a complete fuck. He gives me a list of shelters to clean and says "dont take all morning cleaning those, either." He had said something the day before about how we took too long to clean the porch out at the one lodge.
Do you want it clean, or do you want it half-assed and looking shitty?
Well, we went down to the one shelter that's always fucked up from the stupid pittsford kids. Sure enough, it was fucked up. Broken glass and pizza boxes littered the ground. We spent a good hour on it, but we needed a larger broom.
When we get back to the shop, my boss is sitting there in his truck.
"What's going on?" He asks in a real pissed off voice.
"We needed to get a larger broom and I needed my rain jacket." I said.
"How far have you gotten?" He asks.
"We're still working on shady rest."
"What the fuck!" He says. I start to explain that it was fucked up and trashed and he rolls up the truck window and drives away.
So, we go back to shady rest and try to hurry things along, because obviously it's apparent that spending too much time there is a bad thing, so we leave to clean out the next shelter. We cleaned the next one after that.
By the time we get back for our first break, we're completely soaked. Our boss is sitting there along with one of our co-workers. I say, "the shelters are all cleaned out."
My boss says nothing.
As soon as he's done with his breakfast, he leaves. A few minutes later the phone rings at the office.
It's my boss.
"you wanna explain to me what you did down at shady rest?"
"we swept, washed tables, picked up trash, blew out the floor with the hand blower"
"you didn't blow it out!"
"yea we did."
"no you didn't! There's still broken glass and shit on the ground. You better get down here and clean it up!"
So because we were trying to "not take all morning" we ended up leaving some crap behind. Then we get bitched at even more.
We get down there to re-clean, and our boss is there. He goes, "clean this place up then go home. Come back monday."
We start to clean.
"You know what? Forget it. Just go now and come back monday."
I dont know what crawled up his ass, but when you come to work, you leave whatever bad attitude you have at home. You dont take out your anger on your co-workers. That's just bullshit. This is the first time i've ever had a problem with my boss. He was wrong to bitch us out. I dont care if your wife hates you, or your kid is being a shit, you dont fucking treat me and the new kid like shit. You make us rush and then we fuck up. The reason we did a shitty job is because we were being rushed. I work at my own pace. I get things done the right way that way. If people try to speed me up it's a disaster.
I hope to god there's a conference about this, a meeting. I'll say exactly what I just said.
Don't fucking set me up for disaster. You knew it was going to happen. You purposely went out and tried to find one imperfection and you found it. Good job. You wanna fire me? Go ahead. I honestly dont care anymore. I really dont. I do more work down there than you do. And driving around in the county truck doesn't constitute as work. It constitues as wasting gas.
