It is now 1:17 AM. I am currently doing laundry at my parents house. Alone. And I will prolly be here another 1 1/2 or so. Since I am sick of playing games on Facebook, and am in dire need of a rant session, I came on here. The perfect show is on in the background: Storm Chasers.

So, it has been no secret that SO and I have been fighting for a while. Nothing too major, just petty stuff. But I am sure it has affected my overall mood. I do my best to keep work BS at work and home BS at home; but we are all human. Add to that the fact that my workload has (I started being the main contact for Canada and UK clients along with my responsibilities as bilingual agent, PR contact and assistant queue watcher) increased but NOT my paycheck. Still, in this economy I am will aware that I am blessed to have a paycheck at all.

What has not changed is my disdain for people who complain about how much work they get, every day, all day, esp when they have the least to do (isn't this always the case?).

There is this one girl that works there and she has been such a pisshead recently. I think I have been calling her Lazy McBigMouth. She is one of those people who feels the need to announce to the whole team if she has done any work. Annoying right? At first it was cute. But she has progressively gotten worse over time. Friday was when it all came to a head.

So, we are all doing work in the office, and everyone is in a somber mood, for a reason. I will leave it at that since I like having a job. In other words, NOT the day to fuck around at work. Well, let's not let that stop Lazy McBigMouth now. In the middle of doing her homework (yes her homework NOT her actual job work) and checking out videos on the web, she decides to blow up a beach ball. Yes, you have it right:

If it were not for the fact that we work in an office, for the higher ups, who have no sense of humor at this time, that would have been kind of funny. But we were busy that day and she was making the office look bad. So, one of my other coworkers takes the ball and deflates it, then hands it to her. She gets pissy and says, "I am not doing ANY more work today." That was 2:30PM and she was leaving at 5PM.

Well true to her word, she did not do any work. And when I assigned her a customer at 3:30 PM, she got pissy and cursed me under her breathe. This is when I started to lose my cool. Here I am, overloaded w/ Canada customers AND assigning customers (nobody else who assigns customers takes any) and she is complaining about her workload? Eff yew. So, after I came in from a breather, my coworker pushes me aside and tells me "the situation has been handled". Apparently, someone told my boss and my boss was handling it on Monday.

Cut to 4:57PM. I get an IM from her stating that she "had no time" to call the customer and therefore the client needed to be reassigned. Aside from the obvious BS wrong, she effed up in numerous ways:

1. All reassigned customers need to be approved by the boss and this one was not.
2. The customer was assigned to her at 3:30 so she had 1.5 hours to contact them.
3. She let me know 3 minutes before she is leaving.

I had no choice but to reassign. But the agent who got it, one of her friends, bitched her out for it. I took a screen shot of the IM and saved it, timestamp and all. I went to tell my boss and he already knew.

I was coming home from work, unwinding, since I had a pisser of a day at work. Well, I came home to the icing on the cake. I came home and then realized I did not have my key to get in to the apartment. So, I called to ensure that my boyfriend would not leave work without me (Lazybum took my key since he left his over at a neighbor's home). This was the conversation:

"Yes, hello, I would like to speak with (SO)"
"I'm sorry, SO no longer works here."
"Excuse me."
"That is correct. Yesterday was SO' last day."

Mother Fucker!! So he lied to me about going to work today, and then he INSISTED I did not pick him from work. Since he does not have a cell phone, I do not know where he is. I want to know where this MFer is RIGHT NOW.

While visiting his neighbor's house for the house keys, I kept calling home frantically. I wanted to know what happened and now. I managed to calm myself down enough to tell him that everything was gonna be alright and this will be a good thing in the long run.

Well, at least now I know what the Runestone was talking about during my full moon ritual. This is great. Unless Bonehead gets a job in the next 2 weeks, say goodbye to my long awaited Texas vacation. You know I was on his ass last night to finish his resume and also apply for jobs. But then I let off; for Goddess sakes, he is an adult and needs to start acting like one.

Today, a but of sunshine came through the clouds. My friends stopped by with a fully cooked rotisserre chicken, a 5 lb bag of mixed veggies and a huge jar of my favorite salsa. They also brought over a couch that their MIL was getting rid of. I was happy to see her. She was also recently in a similar system. She was fired, and could not find a job for 11 months. She understands.

The rest of my day was just craptastic. SO was first arguing with me about doing something for myself; then, he asks me about when we are going fishing again (something NOT for me) and when I told him I wanted to visit a clothing store, he bitched moaned and complained the whole time. Grrrr! Also when we finally did go fishing, he would not let me leave him there to go pick up his daugher and her laundry. No, I had to sit there the whole time. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Oh well, it is now 3:03 AM. And my last load of laundry will be done soon, I hope.
