I am wondering if I am intellectually superior or if I just work with a bunch of dumbasses. Seriously – if you have a perfectly good fish-cleaning table by the docks – why would you clean a BIG ASS FISH on the boss’s picnic table next to his house? The real answer is because the boss is away and the attitude of this person is "I want to do this here instead of there, so I will." I'm sitting in my office and all of a sudden it looks like a scene from "Birds." Can anyone else remember back to the Alfred Hitchcock film? The sky was full of seagulls. REALLY close to the office. I was on the phone and only half wondering if one of the cats from next door had drug something up from the marsh. So I looked outside. One of the guys I work with is CLEANING A FISH on the BOSS'S PICNIC TABLE. Are you F*&#ing kidding me????????? When I pointed out that we had a perfectly good fish cleaning table he threw a frickin' hissy fit. Seriously - I thought he had turned into a girl! The bad thing is this guy gets away with stupid crap all the time. I remember when I worked in the corporate world. One slip up and you were "written up" after a lecture from the boss. Second time you got a "written warning" that your job would be terminated if you ever did anything remotely stupid ever again. The third time the conversation started out with "maybe you would be better suited in another profession." I'm thinking though that if this guy can't even figure out where to clean fish he may not even make it as a garbage man. I could go on - really - but it has become too exhausting to even think about what a hassle this guy is to work with lately!
So how is YOUR day going? Yesterday was such a glorious day! bfJ and I took some friends out on the boat to the Cape (Lookout) and spent the day enjoying good company, yummy food and fantastic weather. All and all a great day! Then work. YACK! Guess I better get back to it. Thanks for letting me vent.
