Hellish. Absolutely hellish.
Entered the office at my starting time of half 8 and there's nobody there but me, the managers and one other part-timer. This is happening on a constant basis, the majority of our office is part time and starts at the same time as me - where the hell are they? Oh, that's right. They all started early! One even started at 5am (3-AND-A-HALF HOURS BEFORE HIS START TIME!) the same as he always does and it still bothers me as much as it did on day one.
So, i get my packet bag (which is overflowing) , greet the other part-timer who works at the frame across from me and survey my frame - rammed with f***ing Sky Mags. Seriously, why the hell does a service that provides Television with a built-in and constantly updating electronic TV guide feel the need to dispatch these back-breaking, soul-crushing, sellophane-wrapped SHITBRICKS!It just doesn't make sense to me.
But it gets better, my mate across from me then informs me that we cannot refuse Starbursting today (Lapsing, Collapsing, whatever) because, 'lo and behold, everyone else came in early and took theres out without a problem and there's no-one to cover ours. Effectively penalising us for starting at our times. Same old story.
So i head to the front office to find THREE MANAGERS lounging around drinking coffee. Totally pissed off and it's only 8:50am. I've been in 20 mins. I fill in my docket on the sheet only to get "Eeeerrrrrrrr, you can't be putting more OT in surely" and other such witticisms from the budding Bill Hickses within. Why don't they just kill themselves? They're of no benefit to mankind and all they do is bully, harass and crawl to get what they want. What a fulfilling existence. But of course, they've got their high-paying jobs with added bonuses and their flash cars and all the other things that come from being in a managerial position, why should they care that they're making peoples lives hell? Why should they care that they may be sending people home at the end of the working day to have nervous breakdowns?
I did get out the place eventually. Out to my walk where i can forget the c***s for a while and just get on with my work and as back-breaking and hard-going as it can be, it is sort of cathartic in its own way. Also bagged an hour to put down tommorow, they can choke on it.
God, i could've went on forever there but there's just too much. I hate them all. Why do people think they have the right to bitch and whine against being given extra work when they come in upto three-and-a-half hours early to accomodate it? And why are people like me penalised for doing the job properly and wishing to be paid for the work we were forced into doing by the stupidity and selfishness of others?
