Now the first thing that happens when I get to work is I see my good friend frantically racing around the copier. To clarify, she is the supervisor for the customer side of production at blah blah Max's Printing department. She tells me that the last shift knew that there was a set of forty five books, due last night or early this same morning, that had to be done, and did nothing. These books are 800+ pages and she has started them at seven am. She is on book six when I get there at nine am. So already that is pretty rough.
She is the only one there from her department because the gentleman that was supposed to be there with her called forty minutes after his shift started to say he would be late. This entire two hours she has been doing books and minding customers. Since the corporate printing that I do has been a little slow, I told her I would mind the front. I used to work that department and know where pretty much everything is.
First customer comes in. A job that I had mentioned to one of her coworkers has not been done. I call him to ask him where he put the file that he told me he would make so that the evening crew could print the labels. He tells me he thought I was talking about telling them where some labels were. (All labels in our department are labeled)
Her coworker comes in at eleven, when his shift started at nine and doesn't even bother with an apology. She tells him that he was supposed to be in during the opening shift. He says " I am on opening shift. I was here when I opened my eyes." Now, I am displeased at the fact that I had to do his job and he has shown absolutely no remorse for putting her in a bad spot. He has put me behind as well and I let him know that. He says "Oh poor you. You had to work the front." We didn't kill him, but I did offer to find somewhere to dump the body when she was done. She told me she would definitely consider it.
