Well, if you follow my bolg, you willknow about my old job and how it ended. About 2 months ago. Just realised that - thats a while!!
Anyway, I still keep in touch with the boys, coz they were all great guys. I get the goss about what is going on up there and the recent bit of news is ... well I can't think of an appropriate word but it brings a smile to my face and my bitchy side flairs up, but I feel sorry for the guys.
About three weeks after i left, they replaced me with a man. I knew that was a mistake straight away. The way things were up there, a man was never going to work out in the office. Its a male dominated workplace and they always end up out on the road, as a driver. It happened twice already - a male started out in the office, but ended up as a driver.
Anyway, I had to return my uniform so I went up there and waited in the office with my replacement while the boss got off the phone. 10 minutes later, I was still waiting, the phone was ringing and all I wanted to do was jump on the two-way and say hi to the guys. I held back though, coz the boss was a bastard and would probably go off if he heard me.
So I scoped out the replacement instead. While the phone was ringing endlessly, he was standing in the doorway waiting for the boss to get off the phone. Just standing and waiting. I learnt not to do that. He would be hours!! He was in the middle of the afternoon scanning, and I noticed he was doing it wrong but said nothing. I had no intention of helping out the bastard ex-boss of mine.
I few days ago, the coolest guy, and my eye candy when I was there, W, called to have a chat. Asked how things were with me, what my new job was like and said we had to have drinks sometime soon. He then said that the guy who replaced me quit, after being there 5 weeks. Said it was too much work for one person and he wasn't happy so he quit!! The boss had mentioned that he was a bit slow and that he was really starting to regret what had happened with me and appreciated what a good worker I was. Ever since, W and the rest of the drivers were struggling to their jobs. Apparently, none of them are happy any more and are all considereing leaving.
Don't mean to toot my own horn, but I was good and no-one in their right mind would do the amount of work I did for the amount of money I was paid. I was damn good and the bos threw it all away.
But I really miss the guys up there. They keep in touch and we laugh and joke, but its not the same as seeing them everyday. They are awesome guys and great mates. Luckily, they all tell me they miss me too, both at work and as a friend everyday, so I know it isn't a one-sided affair.
And I can't help but be secretly pleased that the boss is suffering. Evil grin!!
