What are you doing right now?

[RootDKJ]

Solid boss work there Root! Earned your beer tonight :beer: (and I bet YOUR stress level is WWWWAAAAYYYY down now )

Thanks. It sucked and hopefully I won't have to do that again for a long time. I need to ski now....

Well hopefully this will be the last post(s) about my wayward employee. I had him report to where my office is, but waited an hour before heading there, so he'd have some time to sit and think. He basically said that he got into a wicked fight with his girlfriend and needed to blow off steam, so pulled a Forest Gump, but instead of running, he just drove and drove and drove his car (good thing gas is cheap right now).

He said he was in too upset to call me or answer the phone. I asked him what would he do if he was in my shoes and his response was I should either write him up or fire him. So we had the talk about how this is not a good time to be doing stupid shit, because we just let another 300 go yesterday, with probably more to come. I also spoke to him about how there needs to be a high level of trust on my team, and if I can't trust him, we're gonna have a problem. I also highly suggested that he apologize to his co-workers for increasing their workload for the past 3 days.

So I've done the write up, and we'll see what happens right now I'm just waiting for HR to sign off on it.

Wow..you're employee was very lucky..most bosses wouldn't be so understanding..it seems like going to work would be a good escape for his girlfriend issues..oh yeah and where did he drive to..in 3 days you could drive to Montana and back..

Work has been so slow today...after a near record September and October..November is off to a slow start with only about a dozen orders. The Phones aren't ringing much..yes business is dead..and now the phone just rang..lol The boss is out and I'm leaving work real soon..I'm going home..taking a big B-ng H-t...then going to the bar for some $2 Magic Hat #9s..

he said he drive way into Canada and back. He should of took his board of to K and shred some turns if that's the case.

Truth of the matter is he could of called me on Monday and told me "hey I have just scored a crapload of blow and I've got 2 hookers tied up in my basement and need a few days off" and I would have told him to have fun and call me when he's done.:blink: He could have told me anything, even the truth and I would have given him the days off.

It wouldn't be like that with my boss since my boss is my Dad...if I'm 6 minutes late for work..I usually get a little talk..I have no excuse to be late for work since I live 2 miles away and only have 4 traffic light to go through..

Do you charge for no shows??? I hate when my customers don't stick with appointments..or are excessively late..

Depends on the patient/situation. These last 2, yes - VERBALLY confirmed appointments within the last 24 hours

I actually wouldn't mind too much if my last patient of the day doesn't show up, since usually that 6 year old screams and cries from the second they walk into my treatment room

 

[severine]

Sounds like fun.

Right now, trying to stay awake. Don't know why, but I'm exhausted today. Maybe my body is revolting from all the caffeine I had yesterday. Also trying to decide what to order for dinner because I'm being a lazy slob and decided I don't feel like cooking tonight.

Recently I had a 10AM appointment and an 11AM appointment...well my 11AM showed up at 10:15AM while I was sitting with a family. The 11AM asked when I could see him and I said..11:00AM..and he looked at me like I was the asshole..anyway..why is it so hard for people to show up ontime. Alot of people are just scatterbrained..I'm always ontime and I don't even wear a watch..there are clocks everywhere..oh well..Thirsty Thursday for me..this weekend I'll have alot of beers to burn off hiking and on the eliptical..Time to post the weekend thread...

Yup, happens all the time here too. Maybe 1 out of 10 times we'll be able to get folks in early, but the bottomline is(and some people just don't get it) is that if you're 30 minutes early for a scheduled appt, and there's no available space to put them, they're going to have to wait
