• My idiot boss…

  I work in a Italian food warehouse. A trained monkey could do my job. If a trained monkey/flying monkey would stay long enough to care. I love my job. No job skills required. Just being able to read and know what the product is. And I work four days a week. Only when I have to work in the freezer or when the holidays fall weird is when it becomes a pain in the ass. I love working nights. I’m a night owl. There’s a Foreigner song that describes my love for night life.

  As I said I love my jobs but there are times like this when I scratch my head…

  As I mentioned before in a pulse, Cleveland now has a casino. My boss loves casinos. From Las Vegas to parts east, there isn’t a casino I don’t think he hasn’t been to.

  Thursdays are our easy night. So easy my boss, with some friends of his decides to go to the casino. So only two of us are stuck at work. My boss lets everyone leave early and he stays to let everyone get to 40 hours as close as possible. He stays to do his paper work.  Two hours after he “visits” the casino, he ask me to do a few mundane things. Oh, and after that clock everyone out at 12:30am. And he’ll be back soon. I, being one of the low men on the totem pole, do not have keys to lock up or the alarm code to set the alarm and the authority to the things that need doing. So, around 2:30, my boss decides to come back to work and finish up what he needs to do. Have I mentioned that I was stuck at work, off the clock, for two hours??? Boss says he owes me. No kidding? I know where the “bodies” are burried and he knows it. And I did some praying that the president didn’t call. He’s been known to do things like that and I am not cover for him. Things like this doesn’t happen too often but I had wanted to get some sleep for once.

  So, it’s after 5am in the morning and I am still awake. My boss offered me a cigar. Uh, boss I haven’t smoked in three plus years. I have another blog about other things I’ll try and get to sometime this weekend. Right now, my pillow is calling me and my eyes are starting to hurt. See you later in the day…
