  • Terminator

    Hah. Don't mind me, I'm trying to be funny and utterly failing. Call it trying to deal with a nasty case of nerves.

    Buddy is being given his pink slip today. And I have no clue how he is going to handle it. I know that I have to remain in control and not lose my cool, but my biggest fear is if this guy tries to use his size against me. I know that I would be fully justified in defending myself if he were to try anything physical...I just hate the paperwork that would be involved afterwards. And, yes, I would completely nail his ass to the wall if he laid a finger on me.

    So let's hope that it all goes smoothly and he just takes what he deserves, no longer darkening the doorstep at his site. Or, for that matter, never show up in my life ever again.

    And if he starts bawling I might end up laughing in his face. I'll try not to but it will be so damn hard. I will be nice enough to offer him some words of advice for future employment: Never assume you won't get caught doing something you know you're not supposed to because invariably it can and WILL happen.

    Just call me the Terminator...as in I'm terminating the employment of idiots!

    And he's gone!

    Mind you, this guy is so dense I don't think he fully comprehends that he is finished with this company. He was carrying on like he would be back in a couple of weeks, and apologizing all over the place about how sorry he was, that it would never happen again. And the heaps of excuses he gave me really buried any hope he has of possibly coming back. Not that there was a hope in the first place.

    I thought for sure that he was going to flip out, but he didn't. I really got the impression that instead of a brain he has a hamster wheel and the hamster is dead. Not once did he take responsibility for his actions - he always tried to blame it on everything else, even after I told him to cut the excuses and own up to his actions. When I told him that I knew about why he lost his job at the police impound yard but I had hoped that he would have learned his lesson the first thing out of his mouth? "That lot should have had two guards." I shit you not, that is exactly what he said to me. I told him it doesn't matter because being found asleep on the job while stuff was being stolen has nothing to do with the lot needing two guards.

    But he's gone, and I've given head office a head's up that Buddy is going to try calling to beg for his job back, likely offering more excuses as he goes. I told him that owning his mistakes goes a lot further than making excuses for what he did, and the fact that he did all this stuff more than once is not a good thing at all. I could excuse one time but finding out he has done it multiple times really sunk his chances entirely.

      Why does this not surprise me?

      The guy who hit our traffic light pole told the cops "if it hadn't been there I wouldn't have hit it!" I wonder what the judge will say...

        I read the thread about that If that's not an epic fail, you tell me what is.
        I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
