ER.
2019-01-07 @ 5:33 p.m.
i'm sitting bundled up in my office while it sleets hard outside, listening to an amazing album i discovered the other day on ytbe. it's sleeting so hard it's bouncing off of the roofs of all of the cars like little jumping beans. it's one of those days that it's almost dark already and it's only 4:20pm. i made my tea today at 11am and it is still tongue-burningly hot at 5:19. now i am going to let it sit with the lid off for a while, i guess. yesterday i was so fucking lazy. i had all of this cooking and cleaning i wanted to have done for the week but instead i just gamed and smoked pot and slept all day. i feel super rested today so i guess it was worth it? but i still have a lot of cooking to do. i fell off the wagon around christmas and found myself ordering out for lunch every day for like 3 weeks, and not only have i been super bloated from all of the fast food but i spent so much money. i also had to throw out a lot of things from the refrigerator that i didn't finish so i feel doubly guilty now. oh well, new year, i'm going to do better. i started writing this because i often mention how sad i'll be if ER goes because i like him as a person, but honestly he's a terrible employee. he's supposed to be in the middle of the interview process with amz but i wonder how long he'll survive with them with his attitude if he does get hired. we got a new website with all of these awesome built-in marketing features so i took photos of a few of our newest inventory to test post. they came out great and i did these overlays and boss was like wow, yeah, i see how important consistency is in the presentation. everything just looks so much more professional. so i haven't had time to go over to the new store to take all of the rest of the photos because i am the only competent person working here, and thus have every responsibility, so ER took over doing it because i just have better/more important and pressing things on my plate. right from the get-go, they're completely wrong and different from my photos. i mean, all you have to do is look at my photos and do the same thing i did. so i was like sigh, whatever, if the cover photos are correctly done then at least the consistency will be there until you open the individual item page. i texted boss who was over at the new store with ER to ask him or ER to just re-take the cover photos so the website looks right. ER just outright refused to do it and said i can take the photos myself however i liked. boss is like ugh, he's being a cocky asshole and won't do it. now, come on, boss. YOU are the one who writes this guy's paychecks. he has literally no responsibilities throughout his day except to take inventory photos and sell the inventory if he can. ER is also supposed to be replying to emails from leads but he just doesn't feel like it i guess? because he completely ignores the emails. now i spent the first couple hours of my dad replying to the emails that ER ignores. come on! i said to boss, why do you give him the OPTION? this is your business! why are you letting him make business decisions for your business (which is in horrible shape, btw)!? it just made me so mad because i defend ER so often when boss is being unfairly hard on him. but it's little things like this, which in the larger scope of things are not really "little" things, that make me so frustrated with him and only 50% sorry to see him go, if he does. like when he gets to amz does he think they're going to tell him to do something a certain way and he's just going to be like, nope! i'm going to do it however i want, if you don't like it then you do it! and they're going to say, oh, well, okay sir. sorry we asked you. wtf! i don't know who i'm more aggravated with, ER or boss, really. but whatever. i'm not getting into a fight with anyone, i simply just told boss that he needs to tell his employee how he wants things done and tell him he's holding his check until he does it. he has trained ER to behave this way and only he can un-train it. i'll upload the shitty photos and when boss sees how terrible it looks he'll either do something about it or not. 2019 tinea is not getting bent out of shape for anyone else anymore. i'm done with that life. anyway, that's it! goodnight. |
