We had a surprise meeting yesterday for the warehouse staff (which includes me as I split my time there.)

Too many mistakes. WAY too many mistakes. The president of the company has become aware of all these ridiculous mistakes - which of course cut straight into our razor-thin margins - and so has the board.

Here's the thing: it's all one guy. Well, it's 2 guys. There is shiftless/useless guy - and the boss for being too accepting. Too nice.

I don't know what else I can do. I offered to shoot the guy in the face.
 
Supernatural occurrence at work today.

Harmony switched back to the country station about a week ago. I spend about half my time in that area. Suddenly I realized I had not heard a song they had been playing the shit out of before (which wasn't that long ago. A couple weeks.)

So I sez, "Hey, you know what I haven't heard once since we switched back to country? That Like a Girl in a Country Song song."

And she, who listens all day, sez, "Hey that's true."

And we exchanged glances as much as to say, 'Weird. I wonder if something happened.'

On perfect cue the intro to the song started up.



Oh it was a thing.

That song pisses me off tho. Like a Girl in a Country Song.

It's all about how poorly girls are treated in country songs. Like props, sex objects, whatever.

Which would be a great point if it was true. But country songs are basically one long string of putting girls up on pedestals.

Well, half of them are about drinking - the other half are putting women on pedestals - if not in fact Shania Twain telling me I need to constantly kiss her ass and if she's late that's fine, but I better be on time.

I started pointing it out after they started the bombardment with that song. Every time there was a song with a guy worshiping his woman, I'd say, "See? He loves his girl in a country song."

Which happened like every other song.

Got old fast.

The problem has not gone away. It has gotten worse. Hilariously stupid whack of conspicuous errors the last couple days.

When I left at the end of the day, the boss was in a closed door meeting with his boss and, after the way everyones' day was torn apart by the rash of justifiably angry customers, there is no doubt what it was about.


:dunno: sorry dude but you're actually going to have to do something more than just hope guys magically change. You're going to have to do some bossing and not necessarily be everybody's best friend and do some leading.
