Come bitch about work here! Try to keep it light-hearted, though. For any serious gripes, feel free to hit Dear Diary.

It could be worse. You could be a manager at McDonalds. |

We drove out to a client's house bright and early yesterday and got sent back home. They figured they would just take the day to relax and vegetate since it was the 1st and figured that we would have reached the same conclusion. Didn't bother to call or anything. Nice folk.  |

Why are all customers morons?

Because the figure the phrase 'the customer is always right' means that they don't have to think about what they say or do  |

So I have a flat, and started calling work at 2pm to let them know what was going on. Told them I was trying to get it fixed or get a ride into work, and they told me "If you can't make it, okay, but I hope to see you later."
Then when I called three and a half hours later (after two or three other calls updating them on my failure to get my car fixed), I was told to get there/find a replacement, or not come back. Why? Because someone had a shitty day with their boss chewing their ass.
Wanna burn that place down.

Worked ten hours yesterday. Had two basketball teams and two buses com into the store. It was very tiring. But we did have enough downtime later to mess around. Might post the pics later.  |

On one hand it's kinda funny how we're practically invisible while at a client's house.
It stops being funny however; when they start fighting. 
Thanks. Don't go into a different room. Have an argument about something your kids did, your in-laws, whatever stupid thing you spouse just did.
What's worse?
When one of them decides to talk to one of us afterwards and try to get our input, preferably a perspective that takes their side or step in and explain why the other one is wrong.
We're about ready to tell one of our houses that we're not Marriage Councilors.
Marriage Councilors get paid better. Thought I'd end my bitching with a joke.

Ugh, I hate when people expect me to be a marriage/relationship counselor. I've mostly had to deal with it in the past with former friends, thankfully it didn't happen so much when I babysat, although I heard the kid's mom constantly bitch and moan about her now-husband. Maybe it's lack of etiquette in this part of the South or something, but it sure as hell seems common at the same time. Perhaps people just expect those of us who have a job in their home (be it babysitting, cleaning, etc.) to have an input simply because we're physically there when they fight. No thanks, that's not what I was getting paid to do. In a nutshell: I can relate, Bagel. I wouldn't blame you for making some sort of remark to that household if they keep it up.

I'm just gonna chill by the water cooler for a bit and look at the empty area.
It's kinda weird looking at what looks like a vacant board, but oddly peaceful at the same time.
It's like you walk into a room that is usually full of people but for this one time its empty and you start noticing things you never looked at before.

I wish I had a job to bitch about sometimes. Actually, I've got a pretty sweet freelance situation going on right now. I guess I could always relay some of the stuff my folks complain about when it comes to their jobs, if nothing else. |

And where are these pics?
