Usually I don't bother making threads (or posting much) these days as I don't feel like being bothered with it, but I feel like lashing out some frustration and I didn't feel like placing it in someone else's thread, so I'll make my own.
I use to work the stupidest fucking schedule here at work. Ask anyone that frequented the JGlass thread. Well after months (possibly years) of trying to get a normal looking schedule I succeeded. I decided to tweak that a bit and take an overnight on Sundays along with my Sunday first shift in return for an extra day off. Boss (who is a fucking moron mind you) is cool with that. New schedules start next week, so 10/6. 11pm rolls around and I get a call from 2nd shift staff asking me when I'm coming in. Fuck if I have any clue what's going on, so I call the boss up and apparently he said I was to start today (well yesterday at this point). I tell him I haven't slept nor was I prepared to work and I ask if we could split the shift and I take one for the team. Nope doesn't work for him, he has stuff to do in the morning.
Mind you, if he doesn't get to sleep he expects one of us to cover for him. Hypocritical to say the least, but hey I guess you can do that if you're the boss. So I try telling him that I can't work due to not sleeping and that is gonna put our residents in danger and all he tells me is "hey man that sucks, best of luck with that tonight and give a buzz if you need me". I'm tempted to call him just out of spite and ramble on some bullshit story until telling him I figured it all out and hanging up.
tl;dr
(Spark notes: Theo's frustrated and is venting on an internet forum to people he hasn't met (minus a select few) about work and his stupid idiot boss who showers once a month and smells like a hippie.)
