kid no calls/ no shows.   These kids, i just don't get them.

Some people really can't grasp the idea of showing up to work every day and showing up on time.

We have a guy at work who was recently told that he needs to get better at not calling in so much.  I looked at the work calendar and he has 11 call-ins this year :eek :eek :eek :eek.

This one kid said recently that he didn't want to be pushed.

We were just training him.  Now I'm pushing after hearing that.

Every time I read about your work King I get flashbacks to when I ran the hotel and the insane turnover I'd have.

Didn't want to be pushed? :lol

That sounds like a translation for, "I don't want to work hard, and if you make me, I will cry."

Greetings John

We are at a place called Smash in Jacksonville that has ping pong and NFL Sunday ticket so watching the giants game and drinking Yeungling with the family. We had a family member pass away last night back home so my parents are trying to get on my flight home tomorrow but all the shits booked or stupid expensive since its after the holidays. Tomorrow is not going to be a good day.

Good morning peeps.

I totally feel the shorthandedness.  I actually double filled an empty shift last night... because I forgot I had already filled it. Oops...

I am trying to convince MY boss to let me promote 2 people to help me with everything here.  It's overwhelming sometimes.




I'm also getting certified with Rover to do dog walks / sitting and house sitting just in time for Christmas. Sad thing is if I put enough effort into it... I could probably make almost as much money doing that a week as I do at my normal job. My girlfriend has been doing it as a side income and is booked so full that she can't take anyone else.. including repeats clients, which she will start referring to me.  She's made about a grand over the last few weeks, and that's with limiting her bookings to a certain # a day.

Hell, that in combined with like Uber or something and I'd be set.
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Hey, everyone.  Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

*reads last couple of pages on everyone's Thanksgiving*

Uh, fuck.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
