The up's and down of people at work

Here at work...

One person just decides they don't feel like working here and quits. They have nothing lined up, no savings, and thinks they will just get hired somewhere no problem. I guess they don't get the news on the X-box. Lazy.
One person gets scheduled for a 3 day weekend, texts in sick yesterday (yes, texts, something we don't accept as a form of business communication for these types of things). Won't answer the phone when we call and doesn't call in as required. This morning they extend to a 5 day weekend and don't call or even text. Now the 3 day weekend has turned into termination when all it would have taken was a phone call and we would have put them on vacation since they actually had vacation days available and doesn't understand why they don't have a job. Lazy.
One person: Who knows, just showed up with uniforms and said they didn't like being told what to do all day long. Lazy.



I know that it's only around 1800-2000 a month and full benefits after 90 days (including the company paying for 80% of your monthly health care premium) but it's hard work. You are on your feet all day and have to wash cars. Not assembly line stuff and it's not too fast paced, but I understand it's hard, and sometimes you might break a sweat.

One a positive note I met with a good friend of mine yesterday who is sponsored by The North Face and I got 6 pair of ski socks, just in time for the seasons to change and to keep feet warm and dry! I don't ski but I'm often out in the mountains in deep snow so they should work out great. I also got a new running shirt that I broke in last night and I already decided it's my favorite shirt, it's a great design. In return I provide feedback from an average person point of view. Plus I get to swap out my Nike running gear slowly so when we run the peak together I look like a pro (well besides sucking wind and can't keep up with her). I would have to say she is the kindest, friendliest and selfless person I have ever had the pleasure to befriend.
