Fairness? HA!

Last night was a HORRIBLE night a work. It wasn't just bad, it was almost what you would consider a nightmare to be... almost anything that could go wrong, did go wrong.. By the end of the night, i fully expected to be standing in a classroom, naked, with fish shaped like mars bars swimming round my ankles before i finally woke up.

I started at 5pm... Day's almost over, right? Not much happening? Wrong. From the second I got there, i knew i was in for a busy night.

Darren had called in sick earlier, so we were 1 person short to start with. One of the others, Shelly, had been called to come in earlier, but she turned up late. Frank gave me a hug almost the second i got there... she didn't seem to be having much fun...

I found out i was taking care of Reception AND the function. I figured that was a good thing, as it meant i wouldn't have any spare time to stand around and do nothing. Unfortuantely, the rooms weren't completely set, and there was a mad dash to get everything done. I spent the next half an hour at least setting up a conference room which i had to pull completely down and completely reset. While pulling the conference down, i noted the many mistakes made by whoever had set up the room, which i'm sure had something to do with Gavin, and i wasn't happy. How can i continue to do my job properly, when others can't do theirs?

He told me to pull down the room, moving the projector table out of the way, leaving all the previous functions workbooks and stuff on it, as the room had to be REset for them again today. Again, was not happy. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing! The room was to be set for theatre style last night. That means lots of chairs. Generally, that also means they are looking at something... Like a presentation. How can they set up a presentation, when the table they need to rest their gear on, is sitting in the corner of the room with a mound of books on it? Idiot. I fixed his mistake. Moron probably doesn't even realise.

Next problem was the dinner we had last night for Workways. I saw David there!!!! Sorry, David, but i couldn't stop to talk... My boss would have killed me!! Frank and her BF set that room, as per Gavin's instructions, and yet again, there was no table set up for a presentation. The function order said it was to be set as open rounds... Obviously they're open for a reason! Idiot.

I don't know what he did wrong with the ATO conference, but i heard one of the organisers chewing Gavin out for a few things that went wrong. I was beyond caring at that point. If he wasn't prepared to do things right, then he could suffer the consequences. I know hes probably trying his best, and that i shouldn't give him a hard time for it, but you know what? He doesn't belong there. Gavin used to be the head chef. He was supposed to be leaving, til Kylie walked out. Whoever thought it was a smart idea to put him out the front, was on drugs at the time... He's not suited for the job. His mistakes are costing us more than they realise... r they would be if i wasn't there to clean up after him sometimes. I won't not do it. Our customers are our priority, so if i have to pick up after Gavin, then so be it.

I wrote an angry email to him last night, before i left work. Frank, her BF and i had stayed til the end, and we were exhausted, sore, and tired and angry. I may have sounded a bit more pissed off than i'd thought, though, since my boss called me this morning to tell me she was "concerned about the email you sent". It's the only reason i'm writing this post, to tell you the truth. The email last night got rid of most of my anger, so i thought i was over it... Obviously not.

I'll take the consequences. I'm beyond caring. I just hope Frank and her BF remember to blame me. I don't want them in trouble, too...
