Okay so this is my life in a nut shell. The past week has been hell.
Let me start with the good part.
Friday was my company Christmas party. It was good. Fillet Minon that justa bout melted in your mouth. Plus I think I had like 9 or 10 Midori Sours and only paid for like two of them. It turns out you take care of people and they take care of you. (What a novel concept) I also did Kareoke. I sang <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=kn481KcjvMo">"The Gambler"</a> I think I did fairly okay with it. Better then other people who sang later.
But I got home friday night and it was cold, but I was drunk and didn't think much of it. Got up on Saturday and was hurried off to go x-mas shopping with Tanya and her Aunt and her Aunt's sister. Hours in Macy's and only seeing two floors..... I forgot how scary shopping can be. But got home and it was still cold. Turned up the heater and it just clicks. And clicks and nothing happens. So I call The Apartment people and they say they will get someone out. But only until 11pm. 11pm rolls around no one. So the next day I call and they say they will get someone out, AGAIN. So on Sunday they get a maintence guy out and says "Yup, it's broken, I know what you need. But i can't get into the warehouse on the weekend." And then he goes on to tell me that it will be a priority to fix it on monday.
Monday rolls around. I goto work and Tanya stays home to wait for the guy to fix the heater. 10AM rolls around and no one has showed up. I start calling the apartment people, and I keep getting their answering machine and leaving messages with my name my cell number and my work number and they still don't call. I keep calling and get a hold of someone around 1230. They say someone will be there before 4pm.
330 rolls around and I give them a follow up call just to make sure. This time they tell me someone will be there before 7pm on the night crew. I get angry and tell them they need to narrow that down to smaller window. They say they will be there by 430pm. 430 comes around and guess what they are not there. So I call them and can't get through. I get home around 5:45 still no one. I start calling again, finally I get through and they say someone on the new shift will be there before 7pm.
7pm rolls around and still no one!!! I call back and it's the night service, and they can't look up old calls etc... so they send the guy out not telling him what I told the person. He gets there thinking no one has seen my heater. We get it all straightened out and he says the guy who had the part probaly took it home with him to come back tomorrow with it. I talk too him and explain the situation and he says he will see if there are any parts laying around and he will try to come back between other calls.
About thirty minutes later he comes back with two piece one of which is the right one. And that leads to him fixing my heater!!!! Making Tom the Maitenence guy my new hero. So we have been keeping the apartment warm the past few days.
So that was one stress over and done with and I get to work today. And the new guys is juts being a pain in the ass. He isn't coming back from his breaks on time. Is leaving for his lunch late, which backs up everyone else's breaks. And then in the after non he is only there till 430. 420 rolls around and since he took his lunch late all the afternoon breaks are backed up and he has two people ahead of him still and he just gets up and leaves. Now I know he is intitled to his break, but it's his own damn fault that it was backed up. And we are in a small office like 8 people. So him leaving for his break while other people are gone totally fucks us all over.
Now the problem is between me and the new guy sits another guy who doesn't do his job most of the time. He was cutting out and making snow flakes while I was working on my purchasing and taking sales calls at the same time. And when the new guy slacks off the other guys does the same. The idea that if he doesn't have to work neither do I. And when the new guy doesn't work the other guy gets fed up and stops working. Now the other guy also has a fucking iphone which he dicks around with all day long. I have a PDA phone and I can't even use it to check my work email, because of him.
But back to the new guy. I gave him about a dozen vendor lines to do the buying for. And he just never checks them. These are products that probably only need to be checked every 2-3 weeks and he never does unless someone tells him to. And lately he doesn't even do it then. It's mind blowing. I just want him to get canned so I can move on and get him replaced.
And I am not unfairly judging him. The other girl who started the same week as him, is doing better then him. Is more self sufficient, and more pleasant to be around.
Oh yes i forgot to mention he is also a compulsive liar. Any thing you have done he has a story that is the same thing only three times wilder, and probably involves either himself or some transsexual hooker getting naked, and the guy from the bar inviting him upstairs to see his private collection of crack cocaine, and the list goes on and on and on.... This guy is driving me nuts. Any suggestions, i am gonna try and talk to my boss tomorrow about it.

And as far as the new guy, he'll work himself out, we both know it. Hang in there sweetheart!
I miss you too. So much stress everywhere in my life right now that I only have a little time during the am to go online.
