#056 CorrecShawns

Remember yesterday, when I said, “Now if cleaning up all the errors my co-worker made in the past two weeks was as easy… ”

Yea, that.

I don’t know why some employees remain when others are laid off.

I think, that if the Dept had just been closed down for the two weeks I was off, and I had to deal with all the orders for those two weeks now; that I’d be so much farther ahead of the game.

It boggles the mind, no, it boggles the soul. 

We’re all of us human, and we’re going to make mistakes. To be sure, I've made my share, but in the last two years alone I haven't cost the company near half a million dollars in errors. Why that person is still there, I do not know. Respect and sympathy for a person’s age should only get you so far. 

When I come back from vacations I shiver at the ineptitude I discover over the following weeks, if not months.  And so far, 2 days back I've had to process 4 credit/rebills, I've found 2 incomplete orders and 1 missed order.

*sigh*

#006 ConfesShawn

Hi, my name is Shawn and I'm a Christmas-a-holic. It's been 6 hours since my last Christmas Decoration Purchase.

To be fair, everything Christmas is 90% off at Target. NINETY. PERCENT. OFF. Not that I need to rationalize or excuse myself. And hey, I only bought 5 boxes of new tree ornaments. Total with taxes: $4.96. It would have been madness NOT to get them! MADNESS!

They're totally not needed. Completely unnecessary.  100% coveted. 

To be clear here, I will go back. 

This is not a wagon I intend to take a ride upon.
