It’s my last week at work. I am currently skipping the weekly staff meeting because I need to plan my future, not the rest of the group’s.
I am being super-productive, of course. I have been messaging my brother and some other out-of-town friends with a series of life hacks, including this triumph of messaging:
Years from now, someone perusing the Deadsplinter image library will find that and go, “What insane imbecile uploaded this?” I’m playing the long game in multiple arenas.
How are you winning this Monday?

I’m heading out on a road trip to Chicago.
I’m gonna leave here running,Because, walkin is most too slow.
I hate the “last” week.
Flashback this week seven years ago… I was in a similar situation when I got called back from the floor (three weeks after getting shoved onto the production floor to my dismay) and worked in the office for a WHOLE TWO WEEKS despite being told it would be for THREE MONTHS. I finished everything I had to in the first week and basically fucked off the 2nd (because why the fuck do I care?)
The last day I was there, my boss drags my ass into her office to chew me out. It was probably the worst thing she could have done because I had been going over my list of grievances with her (I’m no better than my old man for that) and she gave me the opportunity.
She started off chewing me out for my lackadaisical behavior and cavalier attitude (really? What the fuck gave her that idea?) and then she went on to blasting me for things I didn’t accomplish during my 10 month term. I don’t think she liked how I suddenly had a shark mouth grin on my face and I asked her who denied me access to critical SW? Who pulled me off said projects I didn’t finish to fight various fires (that she helped create)? Who was the one who directed/curated my project list? THAT WOULD BE HER.
If you have anyone to blame for my “lack” of accomplishments… you only have to look in the mirror.
There was about 30 secs of silence when I think she realized who trapped who and who chewed out who.
I said the last words I’d ever say to her, “I’m done here.” and walked out. It took all my self control to not slam the door.
I doubt the guy who was primarily responsible for OKing my hire will even talk to me before I leave, and that’s fine.
I AM talking to another team leader who does not report to my team leader, so maybe things can get interesting…
i got a holiday temp thats actually really competent….
annoys me a little that….coz i only get to keep him for 6 weeks….
16 year old information spunges that are extremely comfortable with scanners (basically a smartphone) and computersavvy…..and only need to be shown how to do shit once…..are very nice to work with
makes a fucking nice change from trying to teach older folks what know how shit works to do things right….
downside is…coz hes 16 i cant let him use the palletstacker unsupervised…or the forklift..
(which in my mind means…ill supervise him for a week…and then say i was looking the rest of time?)
