Office Space
The incompetence at work is finally evident in a story I can share!!!
I awoke at the usual, and ungodly hour of 8am, to prepare for work.
Noticed that I have developed an allergic rash on my cheeks and that I was extremely thirsty... such a good day, being as I am sick with a throat infection.
Great way to start the day.
So I grab a drink.. good old water and a bottle of gatorade (my least favourite drink ever but a necessary evil when one is sick) and continue getting ready.
I leave for work, after packing some applesauce, chicken noodle soup and another bottle of gatorade for lunch at the lovely time of 9am (I start at 10am you see!).
I catch the shuttle, arrive at the casino, and grab some toast in our dining room, visit with a co-worker and head upstairs to my "designated work area".
There I find I am not on the 'line-up' sheet.
This sheet is designed to tell me where I am supposed to be working today.
But I was not on it.
It doesn't necessarily mean I am not supposed to be at work today, it just means that the supervisor in charge of making up the 'line-up' sheet can't read a schedule.
So I said to my supervisor that I would go home.
She noticed my lovely appearance and my scratchy voice and made an executive decision (as the shift supervisor was not in the office) and said I could leave!
So I am home.
No questions asked.
A Saturday off without any repercussions...
and I am going to relax and have a nap...
and some more to drink!!!
cause I am still thirsty!
