micaturtleOk, I wasn't going to post about this, but it's been almost 3 days since it happened, and it still irks me. Grrrr.
For those who don't know, I sell books online for a living. I came into work on Monday morning and someone had gone through a bunch of the books I have in my office and mixed them up! ARGH! This is annoying for many reasons, but the main ones are 1) it took me almost 2 hours to get them all back in order and back on the shelves, and 2) If they took any books (which I'm almost sure they did, since they left $2 on my keyboard) that messes up my system because those books are all listed online for sale. When that book eventually sells, I'm going to have to waste a bunch of time looking for it, and THEN I'm going to have to tell a customer that I don't have it. ARGH.
I've talked to everyone here at work that I can think of that MIGHT have messed up my books, or seen who did it. However, so far NO ONE knows anything about who might have done it. *grumbles about evil council conspiracies* I have a feeling it was one of the employees or volunteers that is here on saturday, but no one knows. It is VERY frustrating!
So, my solution for this problem is that I want to start locking my office when I leave. It is a small office and I'm the only one in it (me along with my tons of books). So this shouldn't be a problem, RIGHT? So, I ask my boss (whom I shall refer to as Bedelia Badd for anonymity's sake, and also because I like that ninja turtle episode) Anyway, I ask Bedelia Badd for a key to my office, and she says no. (In fact I think she kinda laughed and said something similar to "That's not happening", but I don't wanna misquote her) Then she quickly launches into a blah-blah-blah about how she thinks it was someone who works here who messed up my books, not allowing me to ask WHY I can't have a key to my own office. ARGH.
Bedelia Badd does this quite often. She will quickly answer the question I have, then move on speedily to the next topic at hand without allowing me to ask follow up questions. Then she will rush off, always too busy to be bothered, and always acting annoyed and antsy when you try to ask her anything. (Of course Bedelia Badd wouldn't be so busy if she didn't try to micromanage EVERY TINY THING that goes on here in the store, but that's another issue for another day)
I THINK the reason I can't have a key to my office is that all the office doors have the same key that fits into thier locks to open them, and payroll & other money is kept in one of those offices. They don't want to let me have access to that. However, why couldn't Bedelia Badd just say THAT to me? *grumble grumble* If she had explained that to me, I wouldn't be feeling like a disgruntled, UNTRUSTED employee right now (I prolly wouldn't even be writing an LJ entry on company time! Nor would I have confiscated a bunch of cookies from the break room and horded them in my office like a little nasty nesting hermit crab. MY COOKIES! MINE!)
Maybe Bedelia Badd is right. Maybe I can't be trusted with a KEY TO MY OWN OFFICE. Maybe I will break in and steal stuff! Heck, maybe Bedelia Badd just knows that she eventually pisses off everyone who works for her to the extent that they feel grand larceny is their only recourse. *sigh*
Anyway, sorry to be so down. Thanks for reading my rant. I feel a little better now that I have it all written out. Here's a sexy Mikey piccy to make up for it:
There, at least that made ME feel better ;D
Oh yeah, I *AM* working on NYCC 2010 entry (I know, I know, I'm really late) I should have it up by next week. :)
