If your choice pleases the common man, but pisses off those in charge, you can be pretty sure... [Dec. 3rd, 2008|08:52 pm]

...that it's a good choice. At least, that's what I think anyway.

Now, what this applies to actually, is myself. I ended up talking to Kat today (who is now recovering from her surgery and is high as a fucking kite on painkillers, but still more intelligent than the majority of humanity) and apparently I am the eye of a shitstorm.

I didn't know that anything at all was going on, because of course no one is talking to me about what's going. Because it's all about me to begin with. Come to find out, Mel and Pat (the other two union stewards) as well as Sandy (who is the resident loudmouth and busybody) are royally pissed off that Kat "left me in charge."

First off, morons, she didn't leave me in charge. This is who with it the other two union stewards are: Kat is the Chief Steward. Mel is her Second. She asked me to stand in just in case there is a problem so that I can help out. NOT THAT I AM IN CHARGE! =_= They don't even know they're own damn chain of command. Sandy, she's such a moron and a wannabe upstart, is trying to get a petition going to replace Kat. The woman still hasn't gotten it through her head that NO ONE in the department is going to stand behind her.

Now, Mel actually went down to our Local and pitched a fit at Todd (who is our Union President) about Kat asking me to help out. He was claiming that Kat only told him "three or four days" before she went out. She told EVERYONE, Union Pres Todd included, at least a month beforehand. Mel is also trying to make this a "race issue." Kat is white, and I look white. I'm actually Mexican, but I also have a lot of European blood, so I look really white. Mel and Pat are both Black. Sandy is Black by injection. (How anyone could have sex with that whale I'll never figure out, but that's just me being catty. Meow!>^_^<) So how can this be a race issue? We're an even male/female mix as well as white/black/mexican ratio.

No one is happy about this, except for Kat. Pat talked to her about it, but she explained to him why she picked me and he's cool with it now. Todd has also approved me. I'm just getting stonewalled now because Mel is a backstabbing two-faced bastard. He wants the title of Chief Steward, but he doesn't want the responsibility. As is usual for people. (they make me want to puke) So the only reason he's pitching a bitch now is because I'm fresh territory and he thinks that I'm going to "take his power" away from him. Dude! I'm the least experienced person involved in this! D: I'm just hear to listen in and prevent arguments and undue violence from breaking out in the workplace. I've got nothing! I'm relying on these guys to help ME out, because they've got the experience.

They haven't even given me a copy of the contract yet to read over. They are also trying to say that I'm a big gossip. I don't talk to anybody at work, or hang out with anybody, or anything like that. Sure I'm a bit piqued at this because dammit, I just want to help. These people are fucking pathetic trying to start all this shit.

However, every one of my co-workers that I asked about this prior to accepting Kat's offer was very cool with the idea of me being the one to represent them in her stead. How can I not find this absolutely hilarious when I, the least social person in the department, is now a huge gossip and power mongering tyrant. And I haven't even gotten a chance to do anything yet! I kind of feel like a famous politician at the moment because of this. And I love it! xD This has got to be one of the most hilarious things that's ever happened to me.

Scurry on my little minions! Wear yourself out with your personal dramas! I'll be taking care of business.

I hate when people who ass-sume they know shit start causing problems and worst off they don't know anything about what has gone on and who agreed to what. What will put them in their place would be a letter posted on the letter board or company communications by Kat explaning why she chose you to help, put the shit talkers in their place and hopefuly if everybody knows what went down they wont assume. That's the biggest problems at work, nobody talks to you if they have issue with you to get the straight answer, they go around spreading shit like butter on bread untill you find yourself in HR being accused of something you didnt do or was aware you were even involved in.

I speak from experience, last year we had a shuttle to drive new hires and older employees from a church parking lot to work due to construction at work causing less parking. One day, after months of driving the van and doing my job the same way every day I get pulled aside by a co-worker who told me that people were watching me, saying I was getting grumbles for not doing more in between van rides. I guess they wanted me to take phone calls and the like and yet be available for a van ride, which was about every 10 min or so.

Well about 2 weeks later I was pulled into HR and they told me driving the van "wasnt working out" and that I wasnt doing enough between calls and that they gave me several chances to correct that and I didn't. I almost flipped out! I said nobody told me WHAT stuff to do between rides, I knew I couldnt get on the phones because I could get stuck on a call, making the people who need a ride wait forever, especially if they were on lunch.

So anyways I was taken off the van and the people who replaced me did far worse things than I did, they would use to van to get food, coffee's for themselves, one even fell asleep in the van! I was mad about that for months and if they asked me to do that again I would tell them on the condition that guidlines would need to be established that everybody knew what I was and was not to do.

Anyways, you need to take controle and get'er done..remember Jessica superior, fat-asses inferior!

Which is exactly why Kat and I ended up talking today. She wanted to let me know what was going on so that I didn't get blindsided. You would think that by the time people hit their 40's and 50's they would act a bit more grown up. D<

*snugs* Let's go hunt some wild hockey pucks. <3

People like that are born ass hats and die ass hats. The only thing we can do is speed the dieing part and try to stop them from.

*loves* Hockey Puck hunting season is over but we should be able to go ice fishing soon. XD

Hell yes Jessica superior! >D

Just reading over this comment I could feel myself sinking lower and lower in my chair because I know exactly what you're talking about. Why is it so freaking for people to get a backbone and deal with shit at the source? Is it really that hard to go and talk to someone if there's a problem that needs to be corrected? Or are all these people really laboring under the delusion that it'll just fix itself?

People do shit like that at my work all the time! Like in Histology (where they get all of my slides together and paperwork, etc. for me to distribute on my hourly runs)they just hired a new girl and are making her cover one of the older histo-tech's job while she's out. And they have never ever trained her on what to do! She can barely even do her OWN job yet! She's been making a ton of mistakes that keep affecting how the entire department is run, yet no one says a damn thing. Why? Why are they like this?

Figures. You are on now when I'm going to bed. xD

Unfortunately, no. There is no one to talk to about them except for Kat. These are the people that I get to work with. I am a very very lucky young lady, aren't I? Admit it. You envy me~

Aghh, drama! You seem to be dealing with it really well, though. :D That's the spirit, baby, you just show them how to do it the efficient, non-drama way!
