It's a blizzard outside with white out conditions.

It's a blizzard outside with white out conditions.


By all means, send me out in the storm to pick up your fucking light bulbs from Standard Electric.

Even better?

Tell me to ask for a guy named Gene when I get there.

Why?

Because Gene isn't going to know what in the hell I'm talking about and will call 2 sales guys and talk to a truck driver before he figures it out.

Boss #1 sent me out in the weather to pick up 4ft shatter resistant bulbs for one of our departments today. He TOLD me he had just gotten off the phone and they were expecting me.

Lies....

When I showed up, I announced who I was and stated I was there to pick up the bulbs. The guy just stared at me. I then announced who I worked for and stated he had just talked to Gene on the phone.

I was talking to Gene. Gene picked up the phone and called a sales guy.

The sales guy has no idea what is going on.

I had no idea what was going on.

Turns out... My boss had indeed called, but did not explain where he was calling from or even tell the sales guy his name. He merely asked if they carried the bulbs and stated we would be right there.

Moron

I managed to finally get to the bottom of things and purchase the stupid bulbs, trecking my way back to work in the snowstorm.

My thanks?

In the afternoon meeting Boss #1 says to my coworker, "You can thank [secret_lade] for risking her life to get your lights."

Really?

Fucking Asshole

    It's interesting how different the weather can be in different parts of the state. I actually saw some sunshine today after the snow Monday night … which was mostly slush by 9 am.
We had the snowstorm first, then the lake effect snow came. Gaylord has such a high elevation we get dumped on when it comes to lake effect....

I can't complain too much. Last winter was horrible. There was one day last winter when I had to sit in the parking lot after work waiting for the white out to calm down so I could see the stop sign to figure out what direction to drive.

    it got cold in God's country today

    I had to wear a coat

    but, when I went it to work it was so nice

    just had a light sweater on

    sometimes it feels like we are running in circles

    made me think of this

    Post Malone - "Circles"

    We couldn't turn around
    'Til we were upside down
    I'll be the bad guy now
    But no, I ain't too proud
    I couldn't be there
    Even when I try
    You don't believe it
    We do this every time
    Seasons change and our love went cold
    Feed the flame 'cause we can't let go
    Run away, but we're running in circles
    Run away, run away
    I dare you to do something
    I'm waiting on you again
    So I don't take the blame
    Run away, but we're running in circles
    Run away, run away, run away
A coat... God forbid. LOL Are you able to function with so much bulk?

My middle son loves Post Malone... He was talking about wanting to go to a concert a few weeks ago, reminded me of myself at his age talking about Guns N' Roses. Talk about deja vu....

    I jump through my boss's hoops daily without any complaints and all he ever sees is the hoops I didn't jump through. All in all it's still better than working for myself.
My boss has told me his philosophy before... It's pretty terrible, I'm sure your boss has the same management skills.

My boss once told me he could tell me 9 good things I did today and 1 thing I could have improved upon. What would I take away from the conversation? The thing I could have improved upon. So, why talk about the other stuff if the only thing I'm going to focus on is the item I need to improve on.

I told him I didn't agree with his management strategy and that I was trained to be a leader, not a manager.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Boss #1 can be a real douche bag. He was supposed to pick those bulbs up himself, days ago. He never called.... Waited until the day before an inspection.

It usually helps if you state your calling from a business. They tend to take it a little more seriously than just a random person who may or may not actually show up. Frustrating.
