The Like/Hate Thread

[Ashe]

I... ah. I had one of the worst days in years and this made me smile. Thank you.

Today sufficiently reached my bullshit day quota. I wanted to TKO a fellow female employee today over her bitching me out (at the top of her lungs, terrified that I might get a word of intellegence in) for doing something to her and then "lying" about it and saying I wouldn't. Something that someone else openly admitted that they themselves were the one that did it - until she confronted them and they backed off because they didn't want to be part of the drama, which only "proved" that I was a lying sack of shit that did it. What prove did she have towards this inane and entirely childish claim? "I don't need proof, you are the only shitty fucking worker here that would do that!" An entire tirade based entirely on assumption, and she wouldn't even admit that it was nothing more than an assumption because to her, merely being present in the room TEN FUCKING MINUTES after the event happened was empyrical enough to warrant getting into my face threatening to slap the shit out of me and asking me to "do everyone a favor and quit". (Long story short, she thinks that I hid in the shadows and watched her set something up and then stole it and used it myself.)

Needless to say, from my point of view, she's absolutely a fucking moron. I couldn't speak long enough to actually make her realize that not only was she standing beside me as I set up my own *thing* sharing the same work space, she actually reached over and moved my *thing* out of her way while I was setting it up so that she would have more room. Then she placed her *thing* onto something while I ran out with mine to take care of business. Ten minutes later, I'm done, come back, she disavows all knowledge of acknowledging me setting it up "I was the only one fucking in here when I set it up, stop fucking lying!" and uses the fact that I'd just done a *thing* for my own table ten minutes prior as proof that it was me and not one of the four other servers that also did a *thing* during the time between. (Obviously, the person who said they took it before they found out she was bitching changed stories and dodged out). Anyone who tried to stand up in my defense was promptly called an idiot and "I can't believe you are falling for his bullshit", including one of the assistant managers that is on ..ok.. terms with her but wouldn't normally do that for me.

In all likelyhood, I'm Satan and anyone can feel free to scapegoat any and every bad past, present, or future occurance onto me.

BONUS: To really trivialize what this situation was about and to explain that absolute retardation of it (although anger itself is entirely understandable due to the nature of the job being based around timing of 5-10 minute events and weaving it in with their 5-10 minute prep times), go back and replace all instances of the word *thing* with "Birthday".

PS: Its entirely not fun to have to go through something like that, and within 30 seconds have to be back out at your customers promptly with a huge smile on your face and a casual yet chatty attitude in hopes of not somehow screwing yourself out of the tip they weren't going to leave anyway.

I only made half of what my expected earnings were today, but that was unrelated to my tirade as every other server did equally as terrible tonight due to a shitty customer base.

EDIT: Jason, sorry for vanishing also. Erin's really been feeling some soreness all over and I ended up falling asleep when I walked in to check on her. Woke up for a bit and not ready to go back yet.
