Good day to you all and welcome to the weekend. I made it though another week and have escaped to the weekend. I didn’t think I was going to make it. Was yet another disappointing week ending with more bad news. Our manager is not going to be back till the 31st of this month. At least that is the latest we have been told this morning. Another week with the replacement, not sure I can deal with it much longer. We had another big project thrown at us this morning and was told it had to be finished by the end of the day. The project called for 26-man hours, and she put 3 of us on the project I guess she thinks 3 people times the 7.5 hours we work equals 26 hours. I also had to leave 30 minutes early as to not go into overtime. So, when I left, they still had a lot to do, and I was not going to stay on a Friday. Not sure if the others decided to stay late or she even offered that or not. They must have known this project was there and they waited to the last minute to spring it on us so they can deal with it not getting done. They thought we were going to bust our butts trying to get it done. Yeah, I don’t work like that. Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Does this fall under the category of "lack of proper planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on my part?" lol. That's how I would see it. Sorry folks...I will work hard, but I'm not going to go out of my way either just because you did not do the right thing.

That pretty much sums it up. If you fail to plan that is not my issue.

@porwest LOL Yeah, never have a problem letting them know that if they screw it up, it's not my problem and not going out of my way to fix their issue.

Hopefully, you enjoy the weekend. You have the next two days off. Hopefully you can get out weather permitting.

The weekend was decent, but the weather was off and on rain so didn't get to do a whole lot.

Why is your regular supervisor out, and why does his/her return keep getting delayed? I had a pretty decent Friday. I thought I was going to walk into a sh*t-show in the morning since I took Thursday off. Usually when I'm out nobody helps out by picking up my workload (in fairness, most of the associates don't know how to do my job). Anyway, it must have been a very quiet Thursday, because there was hardly any additional work piled up waiting for me on Friday.

She had hip surgery, so she has been out, the first delay was the doctor didn't release her back to work and now I was told this delay is she got bronchitis.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend too. In my end, I can't enjoy for the moment, as mentioned in my previous discussions, I still have work on Saturday for this week. But starting on Monday, I have no work on this coming Saturday.
