blah, blah (part 98)
just when I'm thinkin' things are gettin' better on our shift, personality clashes flare. I'd bore ya with details, but it's not worth it. I kind of miss the old C crew clan (but I don't miss those 12 hour days). everyday we're asked if we wanna work OT to cover other shifts. I always politely say "no thanks, I'm still trying to figure out how to get extra 'under-time'
". I ran into Carl (my old boss) and asked him how things are going on 2nd shift. he tells me that 3 of his 11 (or so) peeps are dangerously close to being fired for attendance
. my boss was able to clear up the question that I had about not getting paid for the 25th of last month (which was our Saturday). he essentially explains that our hours are established by the date that you punch out, not in (we clocked in at 10pm Saturday, but it reads as a 6am Sunday clock out), and since our schedule goes from Sunday to Saturday, it doesn't show up on the next check, but the one after that (or some such bullshit...I guess I'll understand better when and if it shows up on this Friday's check stub). I leave work yesterday yackin' with a friend, and by the time I got to my truck, I didn't recall if I had punched out or not? today I'll swipe my card on the vacation/bank hour/hours worked per week thingy, and make sure. if not, I'll have to fill out a form and throw it at my boss. I take a moment to write "punch in/out" in big letters (strictly as a reminder) on the lid of my man-purse lunch box, in green paint pen
.catch up on the latest Jon Stewart's Daily Show and Colbert Report, along with some new episodes of Futurama, and Archer recently added to Netflix...awesome!!
windy, springy, 65F, and overcast. while letting the dog out, I notice the tarp that I bungee over my magical snow blower blew away. I make a circle around my trailer and find it in the back yard. I'm thinkin' it won't be long anyway for me to throw that rarely used machine in the shed to be stored until next snowfall
. walk the pooperdog, then back to sleep for a spell, so I'm alive for tonight's stint *ready, go!*
