So. I have worked my ass off today.. Cleaning, setting things up for the classes, processing credit card payments (which is BORING and very time consuming), answering emails because people don’t read things, etc… The lady I am replacing is supposed to be helping me with the set up and cleaning.. but instead, she has been chit-chatting all day about nonsense, eating food, talking to herself and reading articles on the internet. She will only get up to do something AFTER I have finished it, and then say “Oh, you’re done! Ok.” UGH. I don’t mind doing stuff myself.. It’s NOT hard…. But help is nice.. Expecially when you have nothing to do anyway.
And since when did the definition of “We” come to mean “you”?????
“In just a little while, WE will go downstairs and take an inventory of our supplies so we know what to order.”
Translation: “Erica, you go ahead and go downstairs and do inventory. I’ll come help in a few minutes.”
So a few minutes later… She comes down and stands there and tells me what to do.
“Whats in that box? Open that box and count how many are in there.”
“Whats in that folder? Do we use that? Go throw that away. We don’t need it.”
“Here. Pick that up and move it over there. I don’t like it in this corner.”
Me: “This box is really heavy-” I say as I am grunting, and can feel my shoulders burn from trying to lift the box, no doubtedly, incorrectly.
“I can’t pick this up!” The friggen box is full of papers (and while it doesn’t sound that heavy- trust me it is!), and must weigh about a hundred pounds.. Its half the size of a normal refrigerator. I have half of the corner of the box sitting on the ground, and as soon as i get my fingers under the other side and lift, everything in my back pops and cracks, and I immediately drop the box and writhe in pain inside.
“What’s wrong! You’re young! You can pick that up. Me, I’m old. I can’t lift that.”
Like Hell!!! Grab the other damn end and pick it up with me. So I don’t pick up the box, and call one of the maintenance/facilities guys to come do it. Fuck that.
Now I can barely walk my back hurts so bad! Oh well!
