Remember how I said I'm not the Asshole? Scratch that!

Work sucked big hairy sweaty balls last night. Not only did I go in at noon to relieve a fellow coworker (whom I owed, not pissed about that at all)....but then didn't LEAVE work until 9:30pm. At least my next paycheck will be hella fat.

But it's not that. Oh no. Boss and I had another row. He was off on Sunday for his granddaughter's baptism. Sunday was nice and quiet and slow until about 11:30. Doc had scheduled a c-section for noon on Sunday. Well, the woman calls at ten and says she thinks the dog is in labor and is on her way in. So that gets there early, and Dr. T goes into that. Dr. J and Dr. M are left to deal with clients. It was kinda crazy, but things were going. Nothing was a simple client. They needed bloodwork, x-rays, ultrasounds. It was crazy, but all of us that worked thought it went alright.

Flash forward to Monday. Evil B, the ancient woman who preceded Doc in the clinic tells him that clients were waiting over an hour to be seen (bullshit) and all this other crap. I was the lucky staff member he confronted, and also the only one there who worked Sunday at the time.

I told him what I remembered. I couldn't recall exact times, and I TOLD him that. He asked why Dr. T went into the c section early when it was scheduled for noon. I told him the owner thought the animal was going into labor and she was a nervous wreck about it.

He didn't like my answer, and asked 2 receptionists about Sunday. Then he comes at me. "Well THEY said she got here at eleven. I just want the truth."

Why the fuck would I lie to you about when this dog came in? I TOLD you I didn't know exact times! He just rides me real hard about it and makes me feel stupid. I get upset and go into my typical thoughts of "Fuck this job. I don't need this shit." Ruins the rest of my night basically.

Later, Dr. T comes in. She tells him THE EXACT SAME THINGS, WORD FOR WORD, that I told him. He's TOTALLY fine with her! Just says he was angry earlier and blah blah blah but that he understands. DOes he APOLOGIZE to me? Oh no. Of course not.

So one of my friends gave me a great idea. I'm gonna buy him a card along the lines of "Thanks for being a great boss!" Gonna write a letter thanking him for what a great job he does. For leading by example, and his great professionalism. He always has a kind word for us, and gives constructive criticism. My only debate is whether or not to let him know who it's from, or remain anonymous. We'll see.

Anyhow. I'm at work. I'll expand later tonight if possible. Harumph!
