Whelp.  Got to work a full day on Thanksgiving.


If I find out any of you are Black Friday shoppers I will rip your neck off and shit down your limp corpse.

That sucks big time, and I can assure you I am not a black friday shopper.  Never have been and don't plan on being one.  I'm not a fan of this type of consumerism and this is one reason why.

I do very very few things out of principle, but that's one of them.  My fat ass is nowhere near a mall/store/big box on Thursday, and f*** shopping at 3:00 am or whatever.

I am going to a bar at 8:00 am Thursday, though, and drinking my breakfast (actually not joking; it's a thing we've been doing for almost 30 years now).

Funny enough this is the first Thanksgiving in years I won't be working. I've gotta go in tonight... Won't be home till 9am. House /dog sitting through Saturday... I'm off tomorrow (but am I really off if I'm getting home at 9a?), and off Thursday.

My resume has been updated, printed, and handed off to my buddy. Hopefully they call me tomorrow.
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

Our threshold for our counts (total trailer of pallets and boxes to sort) is 40.  We are at 86 pallet trailers & 28 box trailers to sort.  We are overwhelmed.

I well and truly felt bad for you this morning.  My local news keeps covering the "Black Friday" sales at local stores, and they keep showing interviews with these idiots bragging about their 2:00 am shopping sprees - one family even gets t-shirts made each year - and I'm like "have you no shame"?

It's crazy how many idiots go out after dinner.  No way is it worth the savings in my book.

Yeah, we saw a couple people lined up outside Best Buy already when we were on our way to dinner (so like 1:45 in the afternoon). Terrible. The only shopping I'm doing this weekend is what can be done from my couch :lol

I legitimately thought I was going to come to work and be handed Walking Papers today. The chick who does a scheduling called me earlier asking if I would come in and work a 12-hour shift tomorrow. I had to explain to her that I have a prior engagement, which is actually house-sitting, and I can't get out there any earlier than my normal scheduled time. This was an engagement that I've had since before being put on this bullshit schedule, when I was under the impression my schedule is going to be a lot different, and I can't leave at 9:30 in the morning, and get back at midnight, when I'm being paid by somebody to watch their house. I'm already pushing it by being gone 11 hours on the days I've been working.

I then asked her what my schedule was for next month, and I was told they don't know yet, and since I'm having issues with my schedule I need to talk with the owner of the company. Apparently he's been waiting for me to call him. When I explained to her that I tried calling him eight times over the course of four days, as well as texted him, and never received a response, she just stopped texting me.

So since I'm staying in another house two cities further than where I live, I decide to leave for work early, took a different route, had enough time to stop and grab lunch, and still made it out here to Burbank with 40 minutes to spare. I go to put gas in the company car with my company credit card because I legitimately do not have enough gas to get me back home tonight, and my card is declined four different places.

So here I am now expecting to show up to work and have someone there to fire me. I call my boss three or four times and get rejected each time. I then text him and tell him flat-out hey are you guys firing me? Because the last conversation I had with someone so seemed very negative, and now my credit card doesn't seem to work.

You finally responded, telling me his father's been in the hospital and he's been really busy and there should be no issues with my card and he's going to look into it and call me later. He also said there's no way they're firing me or anything like that, but we do need to talk and figure out what we're doing. So we'll see what happens
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

I don't currently have a car I can drive so outside of the one resume at my buddy's, I haven't done anything else. My GF's car was also in the shop for the last 3 days, so job hunting is a bitch lol

So to continue with the saga, I came into work today and spent some time chatting with the Head Field Supervisor and the Post Commander for the account I've been working at (it's our last day at this account). In theory, the post commander here is moving up into a Field Supervisor position, and they both, whom have experience dealing with the company, want me to push the owners into letting me handle the hiring for specific accounts. I am totally okay with this, as we all 3 agree that that would be super beneficial.

Would there be a title or any monetary benefit to you hiring? Would these new people report to you?

They'd report to whomever is running the specific account they are hired for. I also want to kick the accounts' supervisors into gear to keep up with their shit.  The woman who currently handles hiring, whom is also the chick handling the scheduling that I dont like, doesn't hire for the specific site. She hires and then places people into accounts that she DOES NOT know. You can't do that. You have to hire for the specific place. Every account is different and has different needs. At one time I was overseeing 2 different properties (3 technically, but 2 of them were treated as 1, and they were very small compared to my main property). There were people I'd hire for Property A only and B only. Not everyone who was cut out for A was a good fit for B and vice versa.
