Isn't it great how that always happens at the absolute worst times? And by great I mean awful. Do you get any breaks at work?
Not really, honestly. I'd have to call them while on my route and it's hard when I've got a million things to focus on to also make a call. Idk. Anxiety / not believing in myself got me feeling ick. Plus the bleed. OTL
Ugh, I am so sorry. At least if you get breaks it's slightly easier. That's so shitty. Hopefully whenever you're able to call they're able to answer your questions promptly.
The image is sideways why. Anyhow. I'm more than halfway through probationary period at work. Just gotta keep plugging along.
I learned that the town I work out of has a really terribly named road Spoiler: Outdated racial words Colored Cemetary Road As opposed to just. Cemetary road--which is a different road across town. This actually bothers me. It isn't right for the road to maintain that adjective. That Cemetary doesn't even exist anymore. Why should the street name?
Boss called me this morning to come in. Me: I can't come in today, I have stuff I gotta do. Boss: Alright well I'll see you in a bit. *Hangs up* Whattttttt????????? I'll update if he calls back to yell at me for not showing up. OTL ETA: Assistant manager called me instead. Spoiler: dialogue AM: Hey are you on your way. Me: No, I told boss I couldn't come in. I had stuff to do. AM: Well he was under the impression you were coming in. Me: I have to (lielielie), which I didn't explicitly say bc it didn't seem necessary. AM: Wish we would've known that because we would've called someone else an hour ago. Me: Well, I still can't come in because I still have stuff to do. AM: ooookay. I'm on the shitlist again. Fucking christ.
Dropped box on foot. Had to go to hospital. No real supervisor around on Sundays. Sub supervisor gave me wrong forms. Anxiety that when go in tomorrow I'll get turned away and station manager will be a dick. OTL
Doing route I've done before tomorrow but my car is in the shop and i'm having anxiety. I have ride to work but this situation is so unideal
GUESS WHAT SOMEONE PUT THROUGH THE MAIL TODAY THAT CLOCKED IN AT JUST UNDER 70 POUNDS? IT WAS A WHOLE DEER SKIN BEING SENT FROM OUT OF STATE THROUGH PRIORITY MAIL IN A COOLER. Spoiler: TW GROSS THE DEER SKIN LEAKED BLOOD ON SEVERAL PACKAGES
Witnessed but also wtf, if you field dress a deer correctly the skin doesnt really bleed, what the hell incompetent jack ass.... (The same incompetent jack ass that would mail a skin without properly prepping or packing it but just. The number if steps you have to fuck up in order to get to that point start at the first one then keep going).
I found out later that it was actually meat in one cooler and skin to be tanned in another cooler, but both were leaky so. *insert squick face* And I'm still kicking myself for not taking photos. I just can't fathom why mailing it was the best choice they thought they had. There had to have been local options for these people. ETA: it's "rural" central Florida, like it isn't like there's mountains to schlep and woods for a hundred miles
Okay marginally better since I am no longer picturing a hide that's shredded and got chunks stuck to it lmao. But there's like. Regulations in how you're supposed to ship meat. I get f/t rats shipped to me for my snakes, Omaha steaks and other food deliver services ship raw meat, there are guides online how to properly pack and ship your perishable meat products. This isn't rocket science! Mailer could have done it the right way! Now both items are probably completely useless to whoever there were trying to ship it to.
I haven't gotten to sleep in (it's only 723. But it counts) in two weeks. My body is so rested and sore. I love you all. Even those of.ypu that order three instapots. This next paycheck is gonna be fire emoji
If the postmaster general says we have to observe HW's passing in the middle of the busiest time of year I'm going to scream.
