Sunday night i was really worried about how monday was going to be, as my boss was back at work. I was talking to her about general stuff that had happened while she was away. We then got talking about saturday. I explained how the whole week was awful, and i felt i couldnt cope with it, as i only had two other shift runners. The one is really good but the other one is rather useless. He had been on two day shifts in a row and basically cocked everything up. He had added on invoices wrong and even put three huge deliveries in the stockroom and done nothing with them, until i had found them, days later. This same member of staff had even took two fake scotish £20 notes. They wernt even subtle fakes. The paper was sooo thick it was more like card and even if homer simpson was on the front they couldnt have looked any faker. Anyway I explained about how on saturday i had a really bad migraine and something else had happened also, but i cant share that. I explained that there was enough members of staff on, including a good shift runner and before i went i checked all the paperwork for the week, the budgets and the targets. I found out the reason she was annoyed and sent the text was because that shift runner had sent her a long text saying that i had a little headache and decided to just bugger off home. I was sooo mad and a little upset. I told her that i was considering handing in my notice. She is aware i want to leave to pursue a different career anyway, but i have agreed not to leave before january. Basically she is happy with my work but if i do leave before then she said she wont give me a good reference. Saying that though, she did call a meeting with the other shift runners and told them that she wasnt happy with them, and without naming names she said they have got to start working as a team and support me in what im doing.
I know it looks like im a whinging moaner, but i wasnt going to take the flack for their crap work, on the whole they are a good bunch, but i was so stressed and upset last week. I wasnt willing to put up with their crap.
Anyway things seem a bit better now and i have this week off. I had booked it a couple of months back, so im going to make the most of it and relax.
