waitingmanWas it some kind of test?
When, after weeks of asking for help to get even the most basic stuff done around the hellhole, they send me not only the eldest daughter of "MD"/CN, but her 2 pre-school kids to 'work with me' for the week?? A woman who knows nothing about outdoor furniture & barely enough about BBQs & heating products to avoid getting 3rd degree burns, who then lets her 2 extremely mobile & vocal daughters run amok whilst espousing the view that her being there allowed me to 'concentrate on the warehouse & furniture construction'??!!??!!??!!
I could barely leave the front counter from the moment of their arrival &, in fact, got less done than I would have if they'd never shown up & Junior hadn't turned up either. And at least then I wouldn't have spent the afternoon dodging building blocks, play-tea sets, milk bottles, innumerable cups of water (which mostly wound up on the carpet ~ such as that is...) & having phone conversations interrupted by screaming tantrums & ineffectual, half-arsed motherly remonstrations. After all of which, I was asked by 'Daughter of "MD"/CN' "But you have to admit, she's pretty cute?!", as she held up her youngest ~ either for my inspection, or for an easier shot at her skull... I'm still not sure.
It must have been a test... nobody could possibly think that constitutes acceptable practice in the workplace... could they??!! Didn't we just vote against allowing that kind of thinking a couple of days ago?
