“You’re Fired!”Work as usual.
I cannot wait to get a pipeline project, where people are organized, work is paid well, and I can come and go as I like get my work done and not be treated like a child and told 'you have to take lunch' and you need to work X amt of hrs ( which I am and more!), AND when I want to take a vacation day I can without having the new hr mngr tell me my coworker is swamped and if there was a travel issue she could not deal with it.
I didn't even bother to remind her I always take my laptop home to deal with any issues that crop up at any hour of the day even weekends and holidays!!!
I also told her that I don't count hrs I am not one of those people who get bent out of shape if I have to stay a bit late, and I will just maybe leave a bit early to make up for it. I also am not going to make an expense report of a $1.50 stamp on a letter I have the mail for the company, or charge mileage to deposit cheques or pick stuff up. I will plan my day so I can go to the store for myself also.
I feel a work environment should be free to allow one to do their job how they wish and that is how I have always worked. Of course I know there are many environments where you need more structured work. But for what I do I feel I should be left alone and let me do my job!
So now I am never bringing my laptop home again, I will not answer the cell phone after hrs. I am doing a quiet quit, the bare minimum, work to rule...
So here I sit with my feet up, cuppa tea, just finished some toast, had a lovely long chat with a few of the directors here about safety, slips trips falls (I am a safety admin / office manager when I do pipelines).
I put on my safety boots and my hard hat and went and took photos of the demo work being done in the other offices, chatted up the construction boss (I miss pipeline construction!), And generally just puttering about.
One of the guys just stopped by to ask me if his travel package (border crossing letter and essential worker letter, etc) was ready. I looked him in the eyes said no, see me tomorrow.
He blinked and seemed very surprised that perfect efficient Kelly didn't have things done as usual... Hahahah poor kid, I will do their stuff later for themit's not their fault I am ticked off.
Of course if I were on vacation today they wouldn't get it till tomorrow!
Now I am looking on the barn cam at the horses and chooks... Later on for my lunch break I MUST take I am going to the hardware store, them MacDonalds for fries because I feel like having junk food.
Holy cow it's ONLY 10AM... This doing nothing makes the day drag by....
Tax for being big whiny sissy
The horses are way out in the middle paddock ( can't find the pic I took of them...)
Most of the gals are hanging out in Truly's stall
