It's 21:03 as I write this post: It all started as a nice relaxing evening as I was sitting down and loading up the Mercenaries game on the PS2  . Then my boss calls me at the house wanting to know if I can work for a few hours on the DARPA project that I'm tied to because one of the girls (we will call her A) I occasionally work with calls in sick. So I say what the hell, I could use the overtime, no big deal. But the thing is that the girl I'm covering for is also good friends with another girl (whom we will call M) that I work with on a day-to-day basis, who, as it turns out, also called in this morning . Well I don't mind covering for M, the one I work with day-to-day, because she has the same hours that I do, but for me to cover for this A chick really pisses me off for a couple of reasons; 1. I have a family that I like to spend time with. When I get home my time belongs to them. I don't bring my work home. 2. She is single and has no real resposibilities but for partying and doing whatever single chicks do. 3. She was the one responsible to make the schedule for this week on this project and she did not do it  . So, now I sit here in a room that looks like the set of 24s CTU HQ watching a fucking monkey on a monitor to make sure he won't go to sleep  . And before anyone out there that is an animal rights nazi starts making comments, go tell it to someone who might care, like those PETA fucktards. And on top of all of this I get a call from the wife asking if I have heard from my mother. I tell her no, and start to inquire why  . The wife then starts to tell me the drama that my mother was leaving the bar with no headlights and the local LEOs pull her over not 100 yards from the bar. She gets a DUI/DWI whatever it is here in NC, I think that we have both (I myself have never had one), and then pisses herself right infront of the cop. Anyway, the cop tells my wife over the phone that if she comes and picks my mother up she won't have to get hauled downtown. Thank God for that. I think the cop just didn't want to put my "pissy" mother in the back of the squad car What a night. I'll be here for a while <We don't have any form of the F-word in thread titles. Thanks.> |
| Holy crap! Sounds like you've had a hell of a night...I'd be having a little 'chat' with the two girls tomorrow. Looks like 'A' owes you pretty big now. As for your mom...she's lucky she didn't get hauled off. At least your wife got to pick her up and she was safe for the rest of the night. Who knows what might have happened if she hadn't been stopped? |
obviously, you would spank it.  FWIW, I always tell my guys that work under me to worry about themselves, and not what everyone else is doing, or getting away with. From your post, you are mainly jealous that someone is getting away with slacking.
which is it? time spent with your family, or time wasted in front of the tv?
so what do you care why you are there. It is an opportunity to get some overtime
What's that have to do with anything? Worry about yourself, and don't worry about your coworkers. You will be much happier. |
