"So what do you call a nightmare during the day?"
"I'll let you know when this one is over."Sorry for the absence.
My job still doesn't fill me with joy, and unfortunately up until now has sapped most of my motivation for getting involved with my art. I guess not having my pain-in-the-ass 'manager' away for the past couple of days may have revitalized me to an extent.
Here's an example of the crap I have to deal with....he's supposed to be in charge of production for the jobs that come in through the shop. When I missed one that was apparently so important HE DIDN'T BOTHER TELLING ME ABOUT IT, he tried to fix the blame on me. When I pointed out that he was supposed to be in charge of production and know more about what goes out that me (I spend most of my day out of the shop, driving around, as opposed to him who's in the shop all friggin' day), he callously told me he doesn't keep track of all the jobs that are done in the shop.
....And I'm supposed to be getting my orders from this guy? No wonder they can't seem to hold on to drivers.
These past few days, he was away, I was managed by someone else, and things went smoothly.
Things. Got. Done. Right.
I have to question not only how the regular manager kept his job, but how he got it in the first place. I've been keeping my employment agency up to date with this stuff, btw, so I'm hoping they can find me something else in the near future.
Admittedly, this kind of thing is one of the reasons I'm hesitant to do commission here, even though I've been poked about it quite a few times....life seems to have the ugly habit of getting in the way.

Doesn't really help when I try for positions the regular workers say I would be a shoe-in for, but the powers that be decided hire some troublesome nitwit to fill the role instead. Plus I am hampered by the fact I am technically doing a two-person job all by myself, and since they haven't found a second person to help me (like they should have done 9 mouths ago), they know if I leave they'll have to do my job themselves, and they're too lazy for that.
Hopefully soon....
You're a good man.
