Idiocy at it's finest!

[Demona]

Last Saturday at work we lost one person. Nothing unusual, except for what happened right after.

So she's a friend of another woman at work, who put in a good word for her. What's funny is right after getting hired not terribly long ago, she'd not bother to come in...quite a bit. She only started coming in only after being given a call.

A couple people said she also smelled like a brewery...shame shame! I hadn't noticed, but she was at times loud.

The dookie hit the fan Saturday when again, she showed up to work all sauced up. Our assistant was going to take her for a test I reckon, but she decided to quit after being found out.

So instead of asking for a ride home, she decided to drive ! Word has it she was on her way to the liquor store when she got in an accident and was arrested.

It amazes me how people can be desperate for work, and how soon they blow it. Tons of people are in the same situation and would bother to show up, be sober, and work hard...but no, it seems like only the other half have all the luck.

That's stupidity at it's finest. You don't miss work to get boozed up, you don't go to work drunk, and she was lucky that work was even willing to call her those times. It's not the boss's responsibility to remind you to come to work.

[Demona]

Yeah, we've had our share of people who've needed to be mothered. It doesn't help that we're short handed because people were on vacation and sick, but drunk can definately be helped. I can't say I'll miss her, she wasn't very nice. Her second to last day she had the nerve to come yell at three of us for sitting down while waiting, because according to her, we were starting. THE PAPER DIDN'T ARRIVE YET! When it's not there, work has obviously not started.

[Mahnarch]

OH, snap!

I don't know how I'd handle someone showing up to my place plastered.

Given my post, I'd have them written up and let go on the first offense.....unless they brought me a cold one.....

Kidding.....kinda.....HA!

But, given you're work environment, DF, there's no way to escape something like that.
You all work in a tight environment.

I'm glad she's gone and I'm glad I didn't meet her.

Nuff' said.

Oh, and I'll still hand Adam his rear end, if he's willing.

Name the lanes...


...and give me time to practice.

OH, and get Adam nice and loaded before the showdown...that'll help out, a lot!

ROFLMAO...
or, ROFlCopter....or whatever gay thing the kids are saying these days.

Yes some loser got me and some others sent home a few weeks ago as you remember.

I did a blog on that once. People who don't do their job are a detroment to the world. They don't belong in the workforce. When you have to wake someone up to get them to come to work they usually do a sh!tty job anyway. Like loading outhouses on a train without chaining them down.

Such people will stand in an obscure place hoping that nobody notices that their not working and therefore get as little done in a workday as possible.

Incompetent idiots that labor unions make you keep on the job and continue to blow their nose for them are threatening to ruin job efficiency altogether. Instead of making people work harder liberally inclined unions make the job places lower the standards.

[Demona]

She wasn't to the point of plastered, but not acting right either. It's not the first time anybody was found out and sent home, but the first time I know a test at the hospital was in order.

We do work in a small place, but they're really easygoing. Where my dad works at a factory, nonsense doesn't fly, and if accidents happen at all, you're tested to see if anything was the cause. Usually not, but people have been sent home for good if found drunk or high.

Phil, you're right. All it takes is just one lazy butthead to bring everyone down. We were really screwed over because of it.

Mahnarch, I PMed you back about bowling, and it'd be fun to see you win against all of them, but don't be too much of a hotshot you know?

[Beangirl]

I just started at Wal Mart and cannot imagine screwing up my job that way. Of course I am alot older and wiser but still. Things are so tough out in the job market especially in Los Angeles.I had to pass a drug and background check to be hired. We are watched on camera all during our shift. I worked when I was sick. I work at night. I am just glad I work!

[Blastgirl]

I worked in the offices of a former team Classic played for. If you missed and didn't contact in twenty-four hours you were terminated. That is if you were a no show without a phone call you had no more than twenty four hours go contact them or it was termination.

Hardly ever did that happen though. Maybe once when I was there.

When I was in High School and worked at Burger King there were a lot of no shows. But the workers of a Burger Kind tend to be younger and less professional than office staff. At least I thought that.

[Phil]

What happened to do your job give it all you have and you get paid for the work?

Now there's all kinds of people who go to work the same way they went to school. Sit in the back of the classroom hoping never to get called. Now they hang out in parts of their work area hoping not to be given anything too difficult to do.

You don't advance that way though. Such people will be in and out of jobs.

When I had 5 years in I was reaching higher status and was already paid more than some people who had been there longer. If they knew I was being paid more instead of saying, 'that guy gets here on time every time, takes assignments that might send him away for a day or 2, and as soon as the department takes on new techniques this guy learns the new procedures and therefore knows how to do everything our department does. And he never refuses a doubleshift as bad as that might suck.'

No they don't see it that way they would just see it as 'this guy's only been here 5 years and I've been here 14 how can he be paid more than me?'

Demona,

You should've made her work in front of the fan vent that stinks all night long.
That would've taught her - and cleaned her up...
I only stood in front of it for a minute and had to move!

It's not stinking so bad now, the vacuum was removed! ;D Don't know if it was replaced yet.

I did a tube blog about this post last night but it didn't upload. I'll try it again tonight.

Since I play college football, I tend to look at it like it's a job. You have to be on time, you have to make sure you work hard, and if you miss, you better have a reason (injury, illness). I think it's doing a great job getting me ready for when I start in the workforce since it pretty much works the same way.

Since I've been here, I've never seen anyone miss practice just to miss practice. Those who do miss usually have something wrong with them. But there was an incident this spring where one of our defensive players came to a meeting stoned (supposedly). This led to a test and he was "fired" for the rest of springball. I think we had one or two guys get dismissed for testing positive for marijuana when we had drug tests. Stupid.

They need to crack down harder and maybe ban them the rest of the time at school from the team. Drunk is one thing, but stoned is totally another and not legal! Shame on them!

[fartinggurl]

That girl is not the brightest crayon in the box. I remember back when I was in high school, there were some boys who would show up at school drunk, stoned, or both. The thing that was really stupid (besides being drunk/stoned at school and doing it in the first place) was the way they acted. They pretended that they were just fine, but you could tell by the way they acted. Not surprisingly, they dropped out their senior year. Idiots!

[Blastgirl]

There were a hand full of those guys when I was in High School too. They thought they were too Cool for School and too smart for their own good.

There's always been those guys. They don't fool anybody.

Bah! You can show up 15 minutes late where I work. Just drive faster....

For real, though, if you've got an office job or at some/most factories, you better be at the punch in clock on the tick, or else!

My mom worked in a factory years ago and a husband and wife team would punch out like; the wife would punch both of them out while the husband went out to warm up the car.
The big boss caught them one day and they were both let go....

Why did it have to be HIS hand on the card? and it took 7 seconds to go out and start the car!

Oh, yes. I had those guys, too.
They dropped out and I didn't hear of them again.

At my high school reunion a couple years ago I found out that most of them ended up as illegitimate fathers to several women and were living off welfare.
Tattoos all over and one is in prison on a third drug related charge - due to get out in 2010.

And, here, 'Dorky Doug' is sitting on the Tech Center School Advisory Board, has his Pilot's License, bought his first house at 19 and can buy everything they own with the cash in his pocket.

Yep! That weed was the ticket to the big life, wasn't it, boys?!
Losers...

[Phil]

It's 1 thing to sometimes be a few minutes late. There's no use in having to be called for work that's just plain stupid. And I can't believe a work place would actually be willing to do it that way.
