THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A SHOUTING THREAD Parental advisory: strong language inside. →[More:]

LOOK, DUDE, I KNOW YOU'RE JUST PART TIME, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF CAKE, JUST ONCE I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO SHOW UP FOR YOUR FUCKING SHIFT WITHOUT MY HAVING TO FUCKING CALL AND "REMIND" YOU. I SEND YOU A SCHEDULE TO YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL, I SEND YOU ANOTHER TO YOUR WORK EMAIL; I DON'T DO THIS BEACAUSE IT'S FUN - YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FUCKING READ THE GODDAM THINGS AND KEEP THEM IN MIND AS YOUR WEEK PROGRESSES. PLUS, IT'S NOT LIKE WE SWITCH YOUR SCHEDULE AROUND. YOU'RE ON EVERY OTHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. NOT THAT FUCKING DIFFICULT, REALLY.

I COULD PROBABLY TRAIN A RABBIT TO REMEMBER THAT SCHEDULE. AND MAYBE I WILL. IF I HAD MY WAY, DOOFUS THE WONDER BUNNY WOULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW AND I'D BE HOME WITH MY FEET UP, INSTEAD INSTEAD OF FUMING OVER YOUR LATEST BULLSHIT EXCUSE AND WAITING FOR YOU TO DRAG ASS IN LATE YET AGAIN. I KNOW WE DON'T PAY ALL THAT MUCH, BUT IT'S MORE THAN THE NOTHING YOU'LL BE GETTING WHEN YOUR ASS GETS FIRED.

Heh. Next day he works, start calling to remind him - like, every hour. Gosh, a voice-recorded message and timed auto-dialler would be perfect. And then, when he comes in all like, "jeeeeeez, man - you don't have to remind me every hour that I have to come in to work", raise one eyebrow very, comically, extremely high (this may take some practice), and say, "OH RLY??"

You could just make it easy on yourself and start calling him "Doofus the Wonder Bunny." Then you wouldn't have to train the rabbit.

middleclasstool, I used to work with John McCrea back in the 80s; he was nearly as much of a flake as the guy I started this thread about. Although now that I think about it, he was fairly punctual, so I'll give him that.

Anyway, I noticed that my tax refund just showed up in my account, so I'm significantly less shouty now that I can buy an entire fleet of bunnies with which I can replace said flake.
