Can you hear me now?




So today was super sucky, my shoulders feel like steel. I am babysitting a pack of grown adults that are all just in the mood to play and not work. Management sucks. Take David for instance. He's the deaf kid at work. Very bright, very willing to learn, but....and its a big but, he thinks what I am telling him to do is mere suggestion, rather than matter of fact, do this task. Today I asked him to cut back the rose bushes and handed him the pruners, he smiled and grunted at me little deaf guy noises, we gave the thumbs up and I left him to work. Flash forward to ten minutes later, a giant chill down my spine as what to my wondering ears do I hear.... wait for it.....wait for it.... the fucking chainsaw. Now let me paint you this picture, David has never used a chainsaw. We bought a new one for the Christmas season YESTERDAY.YESTERDAY. YESTERDAY. IT IS LESS THAN 24 HOURS OLD. He takes it to another one of my brilliant employees and writes this note: "I have never used one of these can you start it for me." Much to my chagrin, the dumbass starts it and sends the deaf boy off with a vibrating huskavarna, bleeding orange, giant redneck, tree cutting, clear cutting, treeeeee cutting chainsaw. The roses are gone, the chainsaw is broken, and now cut to me explaining this debacle to the owner. That was just the first 2 hours of my day, I won't go into the dance number, or how many of them it took to cut a fucking log. I am in hell. I am surrounded by the crazy, the deaf, the spiritually aware(druggies), and the criminals. Tomorrow I think I may call in sick. I have typed up so many "this is your last warning" letters to idiots this week. I think I'm ready to flush this whole lot and take applications for some new little shits. I need a drink....

Because I am such a good friend I can tell you that I laughed (full body made me have a coughing fit laugh) at your day. Teehehehe.
