So, why is NightTrain in such a piss-poor mood today?

[NightTrain]

Let's count the ways:

1. It's so goddamned busy at my soon-to-be ex-job that I was awakened by a phone call this morning, asking me to come in early. Since I had trouble falling asleep last night, I'm fucking exhausted today.

2. Of the four drivers we're supposed to have working here:
a. One has been vacationing in Florida all month and won't be back until next week;
b. One quit without a notice when he found out the store was closing;
c. One has been gone both yesterday and today, on the store's monthly run down to the shoreline;
d. And I'm stuck making all the fucking deliveries myself at the busiest time of the month.

3. Today, I called the company's human resources manager to see if I could finally find out when we're all getting the axe. She still doesn't know.

4. When I'm out making deliveries, I can't go more than a couple of miles without getting stuck in goddamned motherfucking roadwork--even in the middle of nowhere!

I'll be so-o-o fucking glad when this place finally closes! I'm going to take a week off and do nothing but sleep, even if it might be on a park bench.

1. I thought it was because you couldn't make it to

Kokomo's in the Keys!

2. Didn't I just read that you recently just got this job?

Maybe I am thinking of someone else...

And the store is closing?

[NightTrain]

4. No, I've had the job since 1999.

Which goes a long way to explain why I'm so fucking tired of it and can't wait for the end to come.

3. You should plan to get axed at a minute's notice.

They don't want to give people a real headsup for fear that the evil soon to be ex employees will be disgruntled and will cause troubles for them.

SHE knows when the day will be... she just can't tell you.

Bank on that.

5. I also wonder if they'll contest my claim for unemployment benefits.

Wouldn't put it pat those fuckers....

6. Well, keep you attitude in NICE mode....

the originating post shows that you are more than a bit p.o.'d today. Maybe you cover it up well (I hope so).

Basically, don't give them a reason to FIRE YOU, because they would LOVE that because then you wouldn't qualify for unemployment.

And don't hassle the human resources people... you may need a favor in the future.

Basically, you are going to lose your job. You know it. Ride it out.... (no pun intended... deliver driver! get it?).

Don't be a pain in anyone's buttinsky.... they would love to be able to just fire you.... costs them much less money in the end.

So be cool, stay cool.

Seems to me.

7. You Can Blame Me, Train

Your bad mood is my fault. That way you can blame just one person, and know whose fault it is. I can take the abuse.

8. Well, thanks!

Makes it easy that way. ;)
