it happened again.

Monday. Another day off. (Again, silly me. What am I thinking! That I would actually be able to enjoy time for me.) An employee had decided that they would not take the high road and that they would not take a step back and realize that what happened was in part their fault, so they quit a half an hour before their scheduled time to work. Its true. Someone did this again. To be honest, there is really no reason for me to be shocked or surprised. I must just come to the realization that no one has any respect for their surroundings and no matter what I do, nothing will change. I will continue to care and I will continue to do the best I can do for everyone. In return I will get people quitting without notice accompanied with the feeling that someone just spit in my face. Its amazing after all this I still come back over and over again.

you cant make this stuff up

It never ends my friends, never. There is always something or someone who is annoying the CRAP out of me. I am so sick and tired of dealing with people who have no respect for themselves and therefore no respects for others. I manage people, and therefore that makes me a glorified babysitter. Now, you ask, how did I become so lucky to have such an amazing job and be surrounded by so many people. I am truly blessed and cannot describe how many times a day I thank those around me for being so considerate and caring of those around them.

Here is what I don't get... Why can't people just get along? I simply cannot understand why there is always something. Every day. Let us recap: Saturday 2 people got into an argument in front of a guest, then amazingly enough, another person quit about 30 minutes before they were scheduled to come in. You cannot make this stuff up! Due to all the fun activities, 2 other people got into argument. The best part you ask? It was my day off. Silly me.

I guess I am becoming more and more intolerant or possibly hardened due to the constant battering of nonsense after nonsense. I just am loosing my patience and sure that the end won't be pretty.

Until next time.

Attack of the Boob!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize that I work in an environment that is more free than most environments. HOWEVER, I do not want to see body parts of people I do not know and do not plan to know. Here is what happened just now. I am still traumatized and may never sleep again!!!

A woman comes in the ask some questions about the business, and then wants a tour. Lets digress, she seems somewhat out of it and seems to be a bit confused. I am not one to judge BUT I am not pleased with what I see. As I promote our business, I am thinking to myself, oh goodness I see her shirt is more unbuttoned than I would like! I think to myself, 'who at that age unbuttons their shirt that much???.' I am slightly taken aback, but go with it as its her world and I just live in it.

She and I tour, and as we tour I notice that her buttons have come undone even more and I am seeing that she is not wearing a bra, because I can clearly see her boob!!!!!! I am flustered and not sure what to say. I pretend I do not notice, but I mean HOW COULD I NOT HAVE! She realizes that I am clearly in panic mode and looks down. She says 'whoops my buttons just wont stay done.'

WHAT?!?! I walk with her back to the lobby and we exchange pleasantries and she leaves. I then literally loose it. I cannot believe that I just saw a 60+ year old BOOB!

The boob might be worse than the salimnader I found once. At least I could muscle him out of the building.

Death by Treadmil

I run, I live, I run....

This morning, due to the weather I had to run on a treadmill, in the gym. This is not my normal routine as I get very bored, very quick due to the lack of things to look at and divert my attention. But being the dedicated runner, aka Flo, that I am, I went to the gym to continue in the training.

I was in full speed and became thirsty, now I cannot multitask when running and therefore needed to slow down. I did so, sipped my water and attempted to begin back on my running pace. Somehow I missed a step and fell to my knee! My life flashed before my eyes, I thought about who was in the room and could save me once I was sucked under the treadmill and whipped around and around while the belt feverishly continued on the runners pace. I heard someone gasp with horror as I took the plunge and was pushed back by the high speed belt! All of a sudden I was on my side wondering if anyone saw me. I hoped that a hole would swallow me up and whisk me away, or better yet, a time machine would transport me back 13 seconds I could do it all over again. I would have never stopped for water, I would have just kept going like Flo did!

People saw. I have treadmill knee burn. Running is indeed a dangerous sport. But like Flo I kept on going. True Story.

Maybe its me...

But here is what I don't get, we all have to work, and none of us actually want to. I get that.

What I don't get is that since we all have to face this dooming reality, why wouldn't we want to DO everything in our power to work as much as possible now so we can do as little as possible later?! I mean lets get serious people. Your winning smile isn't paying the rent.

So lets review, if it snows 1 inch, you have to come to work. If it rains, you have to come to work. If it is sunny, you have to come to work. Who calls out because of weather. We do not live in a part of the country that has tornados or earthquakes (thank goodness) and we should be able to handle the change in weather and all that it brings!

I suppose that maybe I might have a false sense of reality and have more of a work ethic than most and this is why I get so annoyed. Plus I am the only who has to then figure out how to resolve the issues that will arise once you are not here.

So do me a favor, do not apply if you cannot handle the weather!

dont tell me

I have been doing what I do for a long time. And I know I do not know everything, but I know a lot. This is what gets me through the day without murdering people and wanting to strangle them!

Needless to say, when someone fresh off the block trys to run their mouth and tell me I do not know what I am talking about, it pisses me off.

I do not care how you run your business, I follow the polices and play by most of the rules, which in turn keeps me:

1. Ahead of the game
2. Out of trouble
3. Better than you

Why? Because you all drop like flies and I am still here. I have figured out the perfect balance to make everyone happy, some of the time and that is A-Okay with me!

So do me a favor, don't steal clients because you can not get them yourself. Its tacky. And that gets you no where in life.

Just so you know.....

once a complainer - always a complainer

Dear Person of Interest;

If you choose to complain about everything, then no one will take you seriously. Its hot outside, hence our air conditioning being on. If you are cold in A/C bring a sweater. We cannot make everyone happy regarding the air output within our building and I am comfortable knowing that the general consensus is perfectly comfortable. I will not sweat out everyone else for just you.

So seriously, do me and more importantly yourself, a favor and bring a long sleeved top. This will eliminate your current issue.

I anticipate having another issue from you shortly. As you are just that kinda person. It must be exhausting!

Regards;
The Air Con Police!
