I once again have reserved the right to change my mind. I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt. I wasn't allowing myself to be swayed into to believing he was a jackass. Yep, hes a jackass, it only took me two weeks to see it for myself.
The jackass in question is a co worker. Today we were only open four hours, a typical Sunday shift. I was the first one at work, when I pulled up there were already two customers waiting outside. Shit, its going to be a great start to the day. While waiting four more pull up, its going to be better. Finally jackass pulls up. He takes his time. He's lucky I don't carry a gun, I'd of shot him for lolly gagging. To irratate me further my buddy hasn't shown up. That would be my friend that talked me into working for him. Come to find out an hour into my day, he wasn't coming in. I suppose his knees be swollen is a legitimate reason. All I can say is I see history repeating itself. Another friend yet again in ill health, and Sandy to the rescue. If I had a past life, I must of really pissed off a lot of folks. I sure have had more than my fair share of being pissed on. Anyhoo back to the jackass.
As usual some folks have no perception of time. They think when a business is open until a certain time that if they waltz in at 5 minutes before closing that they have just made it. You walk in 5 minutes before I close and you're going to piss the bejesus out of me. A water test takes longer than 5 minutes if you have just opened your pool. Anyhoo jackasses abounded today. I'm getting through it, one of the owners was there he jumped into help. Now Sir Jackass is packing up to leave, while doing so another customer walks in. WE HAVE BEEN CLOSED FOR 10 MINUTES. This man realises we are closed and says he'll come back. Good grief no I tell him, your here no worries I'll test your water. So as I'm helping him, jackass just leaves, just fucking leaves. I tell you what if I was in the army and he was in my platoon,I'd of had to shoot him. You never leave one of your team mates alone. Atleast I don't. I don't care if your a man or a woman, we leave together. What an idiot. i get Mr late customer taken care of, hes a very sweet elderly man. You know how sometimes you feel as if people come into your life/space for a reason? I needed a dose of this man today. He told me he had gone to church today and his pastor did a sermon on "don't sweat the small stuff". Thats exactly what today was small stuff. Yes we were short staffed due to John calling out. Yes I was left holding the bag when jackass just left. But, it didn't kill me. In reality all I had to do was come home, not as if I had anything pressing to do. I don't mind staying late and helping customers I just have a problem with a co worker that left me holding the bag. Believe you me, he'll get an earful tomorrow. That will be the last time he does that. I just might rip his arm off and beat him over the head with the bloody end of it.
I found this jackass to be very helpfull and patient my first week. I believe I have caught on too fast and hes taking advantage of me. That I don't like and I find it rude and arrogant of him. Tomorrow I will nip this in the bud so it will not happen again. I hope I never get like that and think that I'm more important than other people. I hope he gets a case of the clap from his girlfriend, would serve him right.Do you ever wonder how some people can be so self centered? I sure do. may he catch the clap and may his pecker fall off.
