We're starting up a very large, very lucrative project. On Tuesday I was asked to help out wheeling maps (that is, I measure the circuits on each map and write the number in the lower right-hand corner). This is not hard work, but it's extremely time consuming. I started working overtime on it on Tuesday. On Friday, I took my work home to complete it over the weekend. I had promised Justin that I would attend his company christmas party on Saturday night. Not attending wasn't an option because Justin is a manager. On Friday night Alane called me and asked me to drive to the office and let Pat and Richard in. It wasn't a problem because I was still on the clock and I thought a drive to the office would be a nice break. I got to the office and had to wait because Pat and Richard weren't there. When Pat arrived I let him in and asked him if there was anything else he needed. He asked, "Do you know where the maps Bob needs are?"
"You mean the ones at my house that I'm working on this weekend?"
"Uh...let me call Bob and find out."
So he calls Bob then hands me the phone. Bob proceeds to chew me out for 10 minutes for not having the work he needs done so I can overnight it that night. I have no idea what he's talking about but that doesn't stop him screaming at me. Richard shows up during this "conversation." He tells me that he tried to call Cathy and that she wouldn't answer his calls or return his messages. In fact, it was she who was supposed to show up at the office to let them in. I find out that the maps I've been working on all day and well into the evening are not the top priority. The maps I had left with Cathy to finish were the #1 priority and not only had she not finished them, she hadn't started them, she hadn't even finished printing them!
I spent my entire fucking weekend cleaning up her mess. And when I say "entire" I mean that I didn't get to go to bed. When my brain stopped functioning, I took a short nap.
I still attended Justin's office Christmas party. Like I said, not attending wasn't an option. I'll tell you more about that later.
Richard said he was going to stop by this morning to talk to Mike about what happened this weekend. He'll probably be a lot nicer about it than I'm going to be.
I'm not sure about Richard. I don't think I like him. He's an english guy who called me "pedantic" and meant it as a compliment.
