There are a few points people don't really discuss when it comes to long hair. Sure, most people realize maintaining long hair is a lot of work, but I don't think they realize just what sort of problems are encountered. ( I'd like to share them with you. )
Carry On, My Wayward Employee
Jul. 13th, 2004 07:47 pmToday was supposed to be relaxing. It wasn't, though. At 10:30 this morning, I received a phone call saying the store hadn't been opened. So I jammed my needing-a-shower body into a pair of shorts and a cotton shirt and biked down to work without even benefit of breakfast or a quick rake through my hair with a brush. I am not impressed at my wayward employee. This is not the first time she hasn't bothered showing up. She always has a good excuse. This time, she says she got a mild concussion last night. Sure, that's a good reason not to come in to work, but it isn't an excuse for not calling, or not having her mother call to tell me she wouldn't be in.
On other occasions, she hasn't shown up because of migraines. Again, she's never bothered to call up to say she can't make it in.
This is unacceptable and inconsiderate behaviour. I'd so like to fire her ass, but there's no one to replace her (due to insane bureaucratic paperwork issues), and August is going to be problematic enough as is. I'm afraid about what's going to happen when I go away to Montreal for a week and it will be just her looking after the store.
Today was supposed to be my day off. I wanted to do the dishes, go to the gym, finish my moulds, and get f00's passport paperwork out of the way. The gym plan was totally ixnayed, and I only got some of what I needed to get done on f00's paperwork. At least the cursed moulds are finally finished. For that, I am grateful.
Now, this most unreliable employee is supposed to open the store tomorrow. Although it's my other employee's day off, she's planning on going to the school. I asked her to give me a call if the store hasn't been opened, and she agreed to work for two hours if this is the case. At that point, I'll show up and finish off the day's shift. But the morning will be spent with me bicycling all over Fredericton in an attempt to get![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
f00dave's proof of citizenship--something he should have had ready months ago. Grr....
And then, I lost track of time, and missed kung fu tonight, and I was really looking forward to it.
Grr, I say. Grrrr!
And to top it off, while at my unscheduled work, my crotch sprung a leak and my Keeper was back at home. Beware my hormonal rage, my wayward employee. I may find a boat just so I can keelhaul you.
