It was a super frustrating day. Ridiculously frustrating, it was everything a Monday dreams of being.
First, we had the UnnamedRPh in again. He’s absolutely useless. I had a brief bit of panic when DayTech wasn’t there at the start of her shift; her husband is currently under quarantine until he gets results from his Covid test over the weekend. Fortunately, she was only late.
Then, StressedRPH came in at lunchtime, full of piss and vinegar and ready for a fight. She seemed offended that DayTech talked to BossRPh about the quarantine. In some ways, she’s annoyed because she thinks no one is talking to her; BossRPh texted her today to let her know a fill-in tech might be messaging her about maybe taking some hours. In StressedRPh‘s mind, the tech didn’t message her because “no one tells me anything”. Reality? BossRPh has been gone a bit more than a week, and the tech FORGOT she’d quit.
StressedRPh also seemed annoyed BossRPh knew about the quarantine and the test. However, the reality is DayTech, BossRPh, and I have a group chat and chat all the fucking time. I swear, StressedRPh thinks that since she’s left the company, we need to shun BossRPh.
But eventually, it was over.
Eventually, after evading the hints that I call the helpdesk about some shit at the end of my shift, I’m punch out and go home. Because I had the time before dinner, I wanted to take some pictures for eBay. The universe, which hates me, decided all the My Little Ponies I planned to photograph would fall over. The light was a bad angle, and the staging area would be too small. I would forget one thing or another on the opposite side of the house , and the cats were guaranteed to be directly in my path. I’m dodging cats and boxes, and then dropping shit along the way.
This is all before I even had dinner prepped, mind you.
Shawshank called after dinner. I almost burst into tears, I needed a friendly voice right then. Our new game is to play “what about the bakery?”, where we decide on names, decorating style, and menu ideas for the fictional bakery/cafe I’ll be opening in Southeast Bumfuckery, SK. It’s nice to dream.
