(ha! ha!). I feel your pain. I work with a group of woman (ranging in age from early 20's to 50) and it's no picnic. There is a 46 year old who is worse than any teenager I've ever worked with, young 20somethings who party all night and come in late every day only to leave early, and a boss who loves to micromanage EVERY situation. I'm being to think I need either work for myself or win the lottery. Winning the lottery sounds easier ;-)Bethannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137949803803409102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-14687422742563493862007-07-26T10:46:00.000-07:002007-07-26T10:46:00.000-07:00Sorry to hear things are so crappy this yearSorry to hear things are so crappy this yearPhyscokityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873315358911156089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-42884547530801781142007-07-17T21:59:00.000-07:002007-07-17T21:59:00.000-07:00I'm just glad it's you and not me in that position...I'm just glad it's you and not me in that position.

You should tell them that they have to pay $50 for each 911 call and unauthorized transfer. Maybe you should just come swimming and ignore all their crap.Alifinalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673626950788910910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-76029079525723003862007-07-15T12:39:00.000-07:002007-07-15T12:39:00.000-07:00cant you just take the ipods and other things unti...cant you just take the ipods and other things until their shift is over? everyday?<BR/>and suspend people that transfer calls and fire them if they do it again?<BR/>that's what I would think would happen if i ever tried to do something like that at a jobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-19740587042844296822007-07-15T12:15:00.000-07:002007-07-15T12:15:00.000-07:00You are a brave woman.

I don't know how you handle that crap! I mean, props to you for only pulling out their earphones - here's an idea. If they keep putting them in after you have asked them not to, just walk around with scissors and freaking cut the little line - no more ipods!! I am a little worried that this post got me so worked up. Hang in there and don't worry about being mean - with kids like that, you're going to need to do quite a bit to get through to them. There's always more kids to hire, so just fire the lame ones and see how they enjoy their summer broke!Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518302943799825895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35025782.post-9336255662344647572007-07-14T05:28:00.000-07:002007-07-14T05:28:00.000-07:00Whoa!
