back to work...

i've been sick for about a week now...did a half day on thursday and no work on friday. thank God i didn't have to go in today cause i definitely needed the extra day to be brought back to life. anyway, tomorrow i start the madness again...for now, i hope you enjoy this post from a different blog of mine(which i no longer use)...

...the first guy i see in the morning is -770-. somehow i have convinced him to take care of our morning mailruns which can be a pain in the ass, especially on mondays. anyway, first thing he asks me is if it's ok for him to say 10.shizzle instead of the usual 10.4...not sure how serious he was or if this was an (failed) attempt at making a joke. i looked at him and reminded him that we dont even use 10.codes to begin with so it wouldn't matter...thank God he didn't. that would have annoyed the shit out of me...

...antunovich calls base to complain about one of our guys. ofcourse its good ol' -788-...the man that also works at mcdonalds. somehow, even though it is very dry outside, he manages to get his bag drenched in who knows what...he shows up to antunovich and lays his bag down on there 1000.00 chairs and creates a huge puddle of smush on them. then he requests to use the bathroom, which in some cases is not a good thing...somehow he manages to pee every place but the urinal. i speak to merideth(worker at antunovich) and although we are laughing, we both understand that good ol' -788- needs a lesson in manners and is no longer welcomed at antunovich...

...we had two new guys start today. both seemed like good guys but dont seem like the type that will stick around. i usually dont bother to remember rookie names cause they probably wont last past the first pay check...anyway, -791- seems to understand how to use our p.o.d. system and knows his way around. i sent him to a building i've never been to or knew existed...he immediately calls in, which is a good move, and notifies me. i tell him to just walk into one of the neighboring buildings and see what they say. mission accomplished. -790- on the other hand doesn't even know the difference between north, south, east, or west...im forced to spend long radio talking to get him going in the right direction. i have to ask what he sees, whats the next street he sees, is there a walgreens on the corner, and so on...its fucking annoying. i dont see this cat lasting too long. to top things off, these poor rookies started on a day when chicago is under a tornado and flood warning...rain or shine they gotta stay out there.

...tornado warning...i give all my guys pick ups and quickly follow with a be careful...peace.

now...back to work...peace.
