OOPS

I don't know anymore. Last night Kailee and I went to McDonalds. We ordered, and the guy gave us two pattyless cheese burgers. How do you forget 50% of the steps on 100% of an order?

Today, I found out I got a guy fired. Not really, but that guy thinks that I got him fired. We have a thing called a shift report, which is a very interesting tool. It's used to keep a list of everything that went wrong with the station each day.

So this kid runs Quiz Me! incorrectly. He wasn't following the break lengths and the show came out 30 seconds earlier than it should have. He ran a random commercial (not a bad idea, as it fills the 30 seconds of blackness that would've happened otherwise.

So after the commercial, he goes to the network channel. He told everyone that I told him to do it. I wish I could see his argument, because he really was supposed to do it. He went to the wrong network though, and we ran Frosty the Snowman instead of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. While he did this, I was typing news keys or something, and he walks past me and says "later". I roll my eyes and go check up on things.

The show's audio was so quiet, I couldn't actually hear anything. I turned it up, and - wow, wrong show. What an idiot. Throw it in the shift report and think nothing of it.

The kid's not nearly as far along after two months as I was after the first week, and I was nothing special. He's really just that slow. I felt bad until I realized I didn't really get him fired, I just pointed out the kind of things I'm supposed to point out. I don't know why I wrote all of this, since very few of you would understand or care about this. If you don't see me around, I probably got stabbed.

They're replacing him TOMORROW. WITH MARCEL! The one man in the world that is a worse drinker than me.

Go to sendo sushi in the Bon Voyage Plaze. The sushi there is fucking epic.

Yerp. Sorry to hear about your ex-coworker. But I know what it's like to work with incompetent people. The dude they hired as our new assistant manager has been here almost two months and can't even hold a pen properly. I understand that going from the bottom to management is tough, and I give him that... but I'm a customer service rep and I know how to close the store better than he does. I mean really, he's just not fit for the job. Bah. Why must we talk about work? I'm going to fix myself some rum and eggnog.
