Talisman Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Thank you Peacefield - have fun at the cabin ! I was told off by the boss this morning, after committing the heinous crime of requesting a holiday form a mere 30 minutes after I started work, and 3 days after I returned from the last holiday. Apparently I had to do "some work" before I could even think about such a request. The fact that I cleaned three out of the five units in the house on my own yesterday because the Head Housekeeper was stuck in some pointless meeting didn't seem to constitute work. Neither does the fact that this Saturday I will be the only housekeeper on duty, as I am every weekend that I work, and will be expected to clean the whole blooming house - all 55 bedrooms ! It really annoys me that I am always the one to be asked to do extra work like this, when they know that I work an hour less each day than the other housekeepers. I have a spare form here at home anyway, so will make a copy of that (so that I have another spare and don't have to ask her again next time) and bring it in tomorrow. I really do not though expect to be spoken to like that - I have a good mind to tell her just that when I do bring that form back tomorrow. She won't like it, but then again neither did I - and if you can't do the time, you shouldn't do the crime ...
Athena Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 We went shopping yesterday and had a bit of an adventure! First we were shopping for a while, then we took the train back to where I live and upon getting out of the train we realised a bag was missing. It wasn't in the train so we took the train back and spend over an hour trying to find it, in all the places we went to after we'd bought the things in the bag. Eventually, at the last option, they had the bag! I was so happy. It was quite stressful but an adventure as well and I'm really glad we got the bag back in the end! We would've taken more notice of our stuff and where it was, if we hadn't been so tired. To be honest, I'm still tired from the past few days. On Monday we went out for dinner and on Tuesday we went shopping for curtains (our picking didn't take that long, but we had to wait quite some time for the lady to put it all in the computer). I hope to rest a bit in the next few days. @ Talisman That sounds horrible , poor you.
Talisman Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 My boss is sadly like a lot of people I have worked for - nice one minute, horrible the next. They like to throw their weight around every so often and remind you of who they are, and like to think that they are in charge. Of course what they haven't yet learnt is that I am ! I don't know what yesterday was about, but I left the form on her desk this morning anyway, and will let her worry about it. The only reason I wanted to book another week off so quickly is because everyone else is doing that anyway, and I want to make sure I get the week I wanted. Stupid woman !
