    I feel like I'm talking to children.

    No. I apologize; a lot children behave better then my coworkers.

    I realized I felt this way after making an important note in the shift notebook about an important <company> employee coming in yesterday. The note reads as follows.
    <Guest who works for the company that owns the hotel> is coming in today so you guys better be on your best behavior.

    My front desk manager thought it was funny until she realized that the guest would be coming in while I wasn't there. There were groans.

    Oh, and S was late taking over my shift. I never saw him, actually. I left nearly 15 minutes after my shift and he still wasn't there. FD Manager had to take over for me so I could beat the school buses.

      I feel kinda bad for the guest because he's a totally awesome guy who doesn't deserve to be left in the incapable hands of my colleagues.

      Also, he's from corporate office.

          I expect it to. It seems I have to clean up the shit that goes on when I have a day off.

          Oh well. I only have 5 more days then I'm done. I actually asked if I could work this weekend (I have the last three weekends off in a row) so a worker could get a day off. To be honest, I did it with alterior motives in mind; I'm padding my last paycheck.

            Heh. I understand padding paycheques. I mentioned they missed a week on mine? They're putting it on my next one. It'll be 94.5 hours. That's... *does some math* a LOT before taxes.

                Thanks, I thought so. It's also the cheque where my pay raise goes in to effect for part of it. I'll be rolling in dough. For about a week, then rent comes due.

                  I know you are more than bright enough to realize this (but better safe than sorry), but make sure you get taxed at the correct rate - you shouldn't be penalized with higher brackets because of their combining pay periods.

                  EQ, I don't know why I'm thinking of you in particular in this situation whenever I read threads about your winding down the job, since we have so many people moving around here at CS lately, but I do. The situation? The week AFTER you quit.

                  My dad had an almost lifelong partner that he worked with in the carpentry business - Harv. Harv finally socked enough away to put down his hammer for good. He had his beers etc. after work on Friday and went home "permanently" for the weekend. On Monday morning my dad shows up at the site and gets to work. About fifteen minutes later Harv shows up. Sits there at the curb in front of the site in his truck. Watches the rest of the crew trickle in, reads the paper and has a cup of coffee. WATCHES THE GUYS WORK for about an hour then pulls out and heads home. DOES IT ALL WEEK!!!

                  I've never been in a position to replicate this behavior but there are several jobs where I've wished I could. Just sit back all relaxed and watch them flounder without me.

                  And for some reason I really wish that there was some way you could watch the antics after you leave without getting dragged in to rescue them. I think it will be drama all the way.

                    I SO WANT TO DO THAT NOW!

                    Unfortunately, I get to spend my last days packing (still need to pack the kitchen and bathroom stuff, then computer and I'm done).

                      ZOMG NOOOOO! Don't pack up the computer! Horror! Shock! Aargh!

                      sms, actually, thanks for the reminder. I might have thought of it, I might have just gone "YAY MONEY! Grocery time!"

                        Don't worry Broom, the computer will be the last thing I pack. Along with the printer because I still need to plan out my stopping points (I try to stop every 150-200 miles or so for a stretch break).

                        The computer will be going in the front seat with me.

                          Wait. I thought that big kitchen thing was riding in the front seat?

                            The kitchen-thing (my kitchenaide stand mixer) is going on the floorboards. I made sure it would fit this morning. The computer can sit on the seat.

                            The cooler is going in the backseat. I think...

                            I'll post pictures once I'm all packed.

                              Now I've got the original tetris theme stuck in my head.
                              Any day you're looking down at the dirt instead of up at the dirt is a good day.
