Swine Flu shots anyone?

00:26 Oct 29 2009
Times Read: 815


We do a lot of cleaning for the local hospital...drapes, bedding, things that their normal laundry can't or won't handle. Now all of a sudden they are phoning and wanting things back ASAP (we normally deliver 2 to 3 times a week) because of an outbreak of the H1N1 virus.



So, my boss and I go over there, to be greeted by a room FULL of curtains, bedding, what have you...all labeled CONTAMINATED...H1N1.



My boss and I look at each other. We weren't told to bring any sort of gloves or special gear, and here is this mass of stuff that could possibly make us sick. My boss strolls over to the desk of the woman in charge and says..."what is all that?"



"Oh," she says, "a ward that was cleaned out. We have about 8 patients with the virus, and that is their bedding."



My boss looks at her. "And you think we should just pick this up and take it away? You guys all have masks and gloves on, and you've had your shots or whatever. We can't even get an appointment for a shot and you think we should touch this stuff?"



She gets on the phone and within 20 minutes we are told to go up to a certain floor and a room, and voila, we get our shots. We are considered health care workers since we are contracted to the hospital, and we get masks and gloves too.



I still felt icky after breathing in that stuff in the room. It smelled like someone died in there. For all I know, they could have.

There have been idiots and shit-stirrers around since the dawn of time. Most of them don't last very long. But don't leave because of a few. Your deleting makes them happy...don't give them that joy.

I know. Or even just saying you're going to delete is just begging for people to tell you not to. Either or, to me it's just immature behavior- exactly what they say they are trying to get away from.



There are other examples but it'll hit too close to home for people to swallow today if they happen to read my comment.

And the cherry on top....she is going to GET unemployment....we were told the reason is because she was not terminated by us, she self- terminated. If we had fired her, then she would have been denied benefits...but...NOOOO!

Help Wanted!

00:52 Oct 22 2009
Times Read: 894


Today was one of the wierdest days I have had in a long time. It almost beats the other day when I stuck my hand into fresh poop inside a comforter.



For awhile now, we have been trying to hire someone to be my assistant. No one lasts more than a week at most, and it isn't a particularly difficult job. We start you out pressing shirts, and I stand right beside you and help you each step of the way. If you can learn that, you go on to learn to press other things, and learn the various jobs around the plant.



The other day a youngish latina came in, all bright and chipper, and was looking for a job. My boss interviewed her extensively, got good reports from her other employers, so he decided to give her a shot. Brought her in yesterday and introduced her to me and told her I would be training her. Her eyes got real big and all of a sudden she started speaking broken english.



"I..work with a woman? Her? No....noooo," she kept repeating.



"Yes, yes, you work with her, she trains you, she's your boss," my boss kept telling her. Turns out she wanted to work for a man, she had a hard time working with women. What the hell. So my boss tells her to start today (Wednesday) and report at 6 am.



You'd have thought he told her to go shit in her hat.



"Sees ayem? You keeding? I no get up tha' early!"



My boss said "You want a job? You be here then. You don't show up, we give it to someone else. Plain and simple."



Well, she showed up today but was obviously not a happy camper. Everytime I tried to show her the correct procedure on the shirt machines she would wail "Aye caramba! Madre mio! I no unnerstan dis!"



Now this amazes me, because when we first met her, she spoke regular english with only a trace of spanish accent; all of a sudden all this gibberish comes out. And wailing like a stuck pig every time she was corrected, which was often, as she wasn't concentrating and would make rookie mistakes.



My boss kept hearing her wailing and inquired if I was poking her with a hot lead pipe? He asked her to tone it down and the poor thing burst into tears. After a couple hours I couldn't put up with it much more and asked my boss to speak to her. She blubbered and boo-hooed and tried to tell him I was hurting her; right away he stepped in and stopped her.



" You were not hurt in any way, and we have everything on film to prove it."



"OOhhh" ( the eyes got huge) "you have camera? Film?"



My boss pointed to the lens just over her head. "We tape EVERYTHING here," he told her. "Now. You wanted a job. We are trying to train you. There is no reason to cry and wail. If you don't like this, we say bye-bye now. OK? If not, you go back there and listen to your trainer and learn to press shirts."



She thought for a second. "I think I say bye bye now," she said. "I no like. It too hard."



OY! or should I say, AYE CARAMBA!



I hadn't heard that expression since some old I Love Lucy re-runs. I never thought anyone actually said it.



Anyone want a job?

I have to say something. It completely blows me away that people would rather sponge off the system, their relatives or anyone else that is willing to give to folks, than to get an honest job.

These days, anyone that has a damn job should be happy they are supporting themselves and their families. What ever happened to pride?

Geesh.

Just wants to kick people in the head sometimes.

I was out yesterday buying some odds and ends. There are already Christmas decorations up in the stores! Fully decorated trees and everything. Geez, isn't that a bit early? It isn't even Halloween yet.



Anyway, I wandered over into the candle section. I can completely lose my mind in there. There are so many yummy scents now, and the soy candles last a very long time, so there is a lot to choose from. I wasn't in the mood for cinnamon or pumpkin quite yet, so I settled for a Paula Deen candle...Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookie. The candle looks just like cookie dough, and smells delicious...and the best part is, you turn over the label and you get a recipe for the cookies!



I love Paula anyways...ya'll...this is yummy stuff.

Spent part of the day at the doctor's office, and when I tell you the reason why, you will probably go "ack". I know I did.



A guy comes in with what looks like a big ol down comforter, all wadded up. I greet him and start to undo it, so I can check it for spots, tears, and so on....and I stick my hand right into something warm and wet and mushy...pull my hand out and it's coated in SHIT.



I screamed loud enough for my boss to come running, and the doofus customer just stood there with his mouth open while we cussed him out for not telling us there was poop inside the comforter.



"Well," he said, "you didn't ask."



WTF!!



Then he drops the second bombshell. Yes kids, there's more.



"There's lice in there too."



SHIT!! ACK!!



We shoved the customer and his shitty comforter right out the door. I ran upstairs to my boss' parents' apartment and showered and scrubbed with everything they had that was even slightly a cleanser. I must have been upstairs for a good hour. Luckily I always keep a spare change of clothes there, in case I spill or rip something, so I had an outfit to change into.

After I came downstairs my boss drove me to the doctor's office so I could get a tetanus shot.



While we were gone, boss B had a sign made up for our counter:



PLEASE TELL US IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE ON YOUR ITEMS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THEM:



BLOOD, URINE, FECES, VOMIT, ANIMAL WASTE, FLEAS, LICE, BEDBUGS, OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT BESIDES FOOD STAINS.



WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ITEMS THAT ARE HEAVILY SOILED WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS.



Phew. Anyone want my job? On the plus side..I'm very very clean lol...and I get a haircut tomorrow. On the down side, I keep thinking I feel itchy things....even though I was checked and the doctor said I didn't have lice.



Feck. That was one nasty Friday. But hey...I get the rest of the weekend off!

"Why's that?" I asked.



"I wear them a few days in a row."

"Well," he said, "I don't bathe every day."

It's one thing to wear a shirt twice or so before washing it (unless your job is dirty or whatever but you get the idea) it's another to not bathe. The reason his collars get dirty isn't bc he wears the dang shirt it's bc his neck has more grime than New Jersey! Silly boys.

I watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition tonight. That always gives me a warm fuzzy, to see a needy family get a much needed home makeover.



It was great until the very end....the family was out in the back yard and they saw the basketball court that had been installed for them. And on the ground, in a circle under one of the hoops, were the words:



WHO'S HOUSE? HILL HOUSE!!



Um...ABC....do you think you might use spell check, or punctuation check next time before you embarrass yourself all over the world? It should be WHOSE, not WHO'S. WHO'S is a contraction, it means WHO IS. WHO IS HOUSE?

I don't think so.



Geez. That poor family has to live with that! Maybe after everyone left, one of the kids took some paint out there and re- did it...I hope so.

What is wrong with people these days? Why do they leave things till the last possible minute, then expect other people to get everything done for them....then be pissed off when it can't be done?



Today is Homecoming for our high school. You'd think, wouldn't you, that if you were going to the dance, you'd have your outfit cleaned and ready to go by now? Nahhhh. We had parents phoning all day saying their child needed his/her clothes cleaned for the dance...sheesh, people. After 12 noon we finally put a halt to accepting incoming orders, because otherwise we'd have been there all night.



We had mothers phoning us up getting all nasty and using bad language because we couldn't clean, alter and press their daughter's dresses by 3 pm. "Call yourself a cleaners!" one woman sniffed. (Call yourself a good mom, my boss wanted to tell that one.)



One mother came streaking in holding her daughter's silver silk dress. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain and the woman hadn't bothered to put a bag over iit or cover it in any way. It got soaked. Now, you can't just toss silk in the dryer, you have to let it air dry. That would have taken hours. My boss had to tell her, since she brought it so late (after 2 pm) that there was nothing we could do for her and that it might possibly be ruined because of how wet it was. (It was a dry clean only garment.)



The mom turned LIVID and started screaming at us, telling us how irresponsible we were (WE were? wtf) that we couldn't clean that dress. After hearing her say "you fucking so and so's" for the second time, my boss threw her out.



We do bend over backwards for our customers most of the time (there was a funeral today for a relative of one of our regular customers, and we were doing going-to-funeral clothes most of the day also for friends and out of town family members of the deceased). But, we aren't going to take profanity and asshat behavior.



If you have an event coming up, for pete's sake, get some organization. Get your outfit cleaned and pressed and hang it somewhere that your pets or children can't get at it. Don't wait till the last minute and expect miracles.



It's usually guys who are bad about getting things done at the last minute..but it seems more women are doing it nowadays. This is how bad dry cleaner stories get started, I think.

It's got nothing to do with "he or "she" but the society we've created the past few decades. One where there is little to no responsibility, self motivation, everyone's "entitled" and no ethics.



My once positive outlook on the future has turned negative and this is just one small example of why.
