Chaos, this shit is stupid. Yanno what. Instead of trying to get this out post ready in one go, I'll make determinations of what to redact later.

I cover extra jobs for my job A LOT. Oh know, we scheduled camp months ago but we couldn't actually be assed to hire counselors? Okay, I'll be there. Oh no, we scheduled camp but all the employees who work this site are out of town, but we scheduled camp anyway even though the site manager told us they only had college students working there, and that the college students were all going to be out of town this particular week? Apparently, I'm there. They overbook, underhire, and I help bail them out. And the people doing this don't have the fucking decency to have their own damn boots on the ground, working beside you while you dig them out of the shit THEY caused. Because heaven forbid the gods damned company owners actually deigned to leave the office!

Okay, that's not fair. I've seen proof of some of the hard work they sometimes do. But this still doesn't mollify me as I keep bailing them out of emergencies of their own making. And hey, maybe if they actually worked at these sites with us once in awhile, the everyday would be less infuriating and basic changes or maintenance would get done. I'd even settle for not bad-mouthing us who work off the main site as incompetent buffoons as much.

But anyway. Today's stupid. So Thursday, I get this text from one of the company owners:

"Did jen ask you if you could work monday at woodside. We need you"

With this follow-up Friday:

"Hi Skye still checking can you help monday at woodside"

I agree, and for once
