Weekend Anyone?Follow
The drama at work the last week has been palpable (and providing much amusement to the hubby and friends who don't work on the floor). Special plans for the weekend anyone? Mine include regular stuff, taking the kids to the pool, planning a bowling birthday party for 5-6 year olds (so funny, complete with pinata lol), drinking some lovely wine and bonding with my games. I guess I will include the hubby on some of the fun.

As for my weekend, mostly homework and my cousin's birthday party tomorrow.
Monday will be dedicated to hunting down places where I could shoot concerts and a play of some sort, but mostly calling and mailing local concert halls and pubs with live music.
Tuesday will be my true weekend day filled with nothing. (yeah, I have 4 day weekends)
Most of my weekend will consist of me drinking slightly more alcohol than I do on weekdays.
fri-> work
sat-> out of town house party
sun-> in town house party
mon-> work/hangover/lazing by pool

Not sure it is funny to anyone who doesn't know the crazy girl. Short story. She had to finish notebooks for a large group of people by 12 pm for a meeting (and none of us knew she had 2 weeks to do it). It was 10:30 am and she hadn't even started. Being the "team oriented" floor that we are, we all pitch in to help her. Only she can't even tell us how the books need to be put together (her boss has explained it to her previously). She can't even tell me what to do when I ask her how I can help. I finally tell her "give me one concrete thing to do." She has me put labels on the front of the books. I eventually figure out how the books go together. It is 11:20 and her boss walks in (boss for half the people on the floor and the rest of us wish we could work for her since she is awesome [ps boss inherited this employee when she started the job]). Crazy girl says (very calmly while the rest of us are working in a frantic manner) "um tell me how these go together again?" Boss is floored and reiterates directions. Boss cannot believe chaos. Starts working on notebooks herself. I tell crazy girl we are short copies of stuff. Crazy girl leaves. 30 minutes later she is still not back. Meeting started 10 minutes ago and I finally tell her boss "go to your meeting I will finish this and send them down." Turns out crazy girl went to the meeting and left her boss and the rest of the floor to do her work. When it was all over she told her boss "you shouldn't get so frazzled about stuff..." Oh and she blamed everything that went wrong on everyone but herself, in the meeting, in front of her boss.
It has much more impact if you could hear the last 13 years of crazy things this person has done and she finally has a boss who sees it. She actually told another girl yesterday, "boss pulled me in for a meeting because I wasn't worried about finishing the notebooks. I had to be calm because you all were so freaked out."
So basically you're just waiting for her to get fired?
Also, feel free to tell the more epic bits of the 13 years of crazy.
And I think I can understand the joy you get out of the boss seeing what she's doing.

Hm, she actually told someone "I take sick leave for my animals since I don't have children."
I have gotten so used to things, it might take me a while.

She then doesn't show up for 3 more weeks. Then when she finally does show up again it's only for the mornings "because that's when you get all the info and afternoons aren't important" and she needed more rest. I don't know the English wording for what exactly bothered her but it wasn't all too seriously and normally shouldn't have taken more than a week or so to heal.
(She had done a bit of an education at the school earlier but had to stop that when she got ill and took half a year off for that or so.)
Anyway, she started coming in during the mornings and left quickly after being marked as present each day.
And soon after she came back she started asking about the Macbooks we would be getting on an hourly basis and not doing anything else.
After a week or two of that she stopped coming again and showed up a few days later telling us that her dog had been hit by a car and had an operation.
She asks about the Macbook yet again and gets one because they just arrived after which she promptly leaves to take care of her dog and she hasn't shown up since.

Could they be related? She comes in at 9:45 and says she is in at 9am and works late every day...
Synopsis: 4 day weekend, Assorted things go down in flames; thus record profits at work. (What? TLDR; creative accounting is creative )
Just as Planned.

That is most distasteful.
Hope your day flies by!
