Tuesday
Please let me take a moment to vent about one of my co-workers. Gordon didn't call in today. He was supposed to come in at 3 p.m. so that I could leave, and then he would work until close at 9 p.m. He never showed up. He never called. This is the second time he's just... disapeared. It drives me nuts.
People depend on you to show up to your job when you are scheduled to be there. I had to call Angela in to work on her day off. I got off from work about an hour and fifteen minutes late. I have a doctor's appointment on Thrusday. I need someone who I can depend on to come to work on time so that I can make it to doctor's appointments, and classes, and other "time based" things.
Dallas (an aquaintance of mine) called the arcade before I left and said that Rachel, Gordon's girlfriend, told me at school today that Gordon was sick. That's all fine and well. If Gordon had called me at say 2 or 3 p.m. to tell me that, I would have called Angela in and I wouldn't be pissed. However, just because someone else says he's sick, doesn't mean he is. I've been burned enough times at this job so far by him, that my first inclination is to not believe him or his girlfriend.
To complicate things, Angela told me that her boyfriend, Hiram (the other arcade's manager) went on Sunday and had a talk with Gordon. Apparently, Hiram told Gordon that for all Gordon's saying how he loves his job, he's doing a really bad job at it. Hiram also told Gordon that he needed to get onto the good side of his managers (ie. me and Kenny). This makes for a very interesting turn of events considering Kenny and I just locked all non-managers out of Soul Calibur II (Gordon's favorite video game). I'm not sure if he knows this yet, or if it will be a not-so-pleasant surprize the next time he comes to work. That is, if Kenny doesn't fire him for not showing up (again).
On a different note, Adam won second place in the Killian's St. Patrick's Day give away. Killian's is his favorite beer, and he got bunches of St. Patrick's Day stuff, but no beer. He got a t-shirt that says "O'fficial Party Animal", a St. Patrick's Day hat, a green "O'fficial Party Animal" sash, a Killian's St. Patrick's Day boutineer, and a light up St. Patrick's Day pin. I'm happy for him, and that puts me in a bit of a better mood. I've been feeling bitchy for two days now. I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with me on a daily basis.
