We have a new, strict dress policy at work... in a factory.
No cut off shorts, controversial shirts, no holes in clothes.... etc etc.
I'm short, 4'11" AND A QUARTER.
Most of my jeans are too long. I cut them off at the bottom. They fray around my shoes. I always keep them neat, no white hanging strings.
I called in to work Thursday night because I had something come up and couldnt go in.
So - I go in tonite. One girl immediatly says that I cant wear the jeans I have on because they are cut offs. She goes and tells on me.
I have to drive home to find another pair of jeans that arent cut off.
Get back to work and within 2 hours I burn a huge hole in my shirt - VERY innapropriate, so Im sent home to change SHIRTS. I recall having one in the trunk of the car so I just change in the DARK parking lot. Get inside and one of the guys starts laughing.
I look at my shirt... it has a political statement on it... I surrender, go home and change shirts.
Go back to work, have a pretty unproductive night and finally its time to clean up.
I get to mop flux off the floor (I do a lot of hand braizing) and when I'm returning to the bathroom to dump the bucket it hits a crack in the concrete and falls over. Water all over the floor in front of the bathroom and inside it.
Its time for day shift to be coming in so traffic is heavy, people coming in and out and OF COURSE two ladies who have to be at least 15 months pregnant are in the bathroom. (I dont blame them for this) Neither one wants to walk on the wet soapy floor so they are stranded...
Im mopping like crazy. Our cleaning guy, Flip, sees my trouble and frustraton when he walks by so he gets a squeegie and starts to help.
He gets mad - the floor is slippery, I've wasted his soap...
The bell rings, I should be leaving - the two pregnant ladies should be working...
Flip and I are cleaning the floor and another lady comes out of a bathroom stall. She throws a FIT because a guy is int he bathroom...
*snort*
20 minutes after I should be gone I'm clocking out.
I get yelled at by the day shift supervisor for keeping her two ladies in the bathroom for so long, when they should have beenworking - and she said she'll take what they should have gotten done, in the time I wasted of theirs -and save it for me to do tonite when I come in since I was the cause of loss of production.
Stop at the gas station to air up my tire, go in to get a slushie type drink, spill most of one all over the counter, my hand and floor when the machine burps at me.
Some days!!
