Today’s work adventures
Totally tried to be cool this morning and failed so hard…
A man was in the breakroom, when I entered to fill up my water bottle. He had a paper towel in his hands and the paper towel was being used to keep his hand from touching the fridge door. I decided I am going to show this man that I am cool too and don’t touch anything without a paper towel because it is the “in” thing to do. I missed one important step, I didn’t dump yesterday’s water. Now I am drinking yesterday water filled with ice and filter water. I don’t recommend doing this... it’s not that great tasting.
Eight-ball… How accurate are these things?
I am occupying someone else’s desk. Due to Covid-19, I had to move to another floor. It was either that or go home and work. So, here I sit working at another person’s desk. I don’t have room for my stuff, so all of my notes are under my desk in a trash can. Yep, it is super-duper classy!
Anyway back to the Eight-ball, each time I pick it up (no it doesn’t belong to me, it’s an eight-ball, now can you not pick it up) it says, “Outlook not so good.” I am thinking this thing has to be broken because everything should be super-duper!
Update to this...
I should have taken the Eight-ball seriously. Within an hour of this happening, I wanted to walk out and quit. A person verbally abused me and I got in trouble for asking a member of our leadership to take over.
Lesson to be learned.... Eight-ball is always right!
Major things were left out of my job description….
I never was told that I would have to be abused by the public and no one would rescue me. Today I learned, I was wrong to ask someone else to take over. Even though it was mentioned during a team meeting; if you get a verbally abusive person, please let someone in leadership know and we will handle it. This guy was young enough to be my son and he felt the need to talk down to me and imply I am dumb. No one cared. The only thing our leadership cared about was that I asked someone else to handle it. I was so wrong for doing this. Another day of being abused by the public and no help from leadership; I feel so loved (NOT).
Building a clock at work
We are so slow at work. If I could I would bring my laptop in and work on my book, but I cannot. So, I find other ways to entertain myself. I have colored many pictures, read many books, made lists about what I need to get done, and daydreamed about the future. One of my co-workers has found a unique way to pass the time, he is building models and has built a functioning clock. This was his second go around. The first one he brought in was a 6 feet fall, so he decided it wasn’t a good thing to do at work.
