Have I mentioned that I no longer have a paying job? I think my supervisors are going to be disciplined too because they didn’t notice that four weeks in a row, I never showed up to my shift on time. On Monday, I got to work at 11:30am, took 10 minutes to setup. At one point one of my supervisors was nearby asking somebody about a “lost hour” in their payroll sheet that didn’t match up to his phone login times. Then he casually glances my way and asks, “what time do you start?”
Me: “9:30 but I don’t come in at that time”
Supervisor: “Why?”
Me: “I don’t wake up in the morning”
* Supervisor throws head up and rolls eyes
Me: “I’ve been doing this for weeks and nobody complained” with a smirk on my face
* Supervisor puts focus back on the other guy
… after 30 seconds…
Supervisor: “Do you remember the conversation we had?” (about having to “setup a meeting” if I didn’t show up to work again as I did for 2 days back in September)
Me: “Yeah…”
…and I continued at my computer without him saying anything, soon enough he went away. The whole time I had a smile on, pretty much laughing at him.
A couple minutes later another supervisor comes over and asks for me to put my phone into “AUX 1 Meeting mode”, knowing I was likely getting fired or at least a letter of reprimand. He takes me to the other side of the building into an area that you need key card access to and puts me into an individual meeting room with a HR/payroll/PR person at the call centre. Keep in mind that this part of the building does not have access to the rest of the call centre unless you have that key card. So I’m neutralized just in case I feel like sticking to The Man, by stealing a stapler… or something. It was fun talking with the HR/payroll person that was handling my issue.
*shows me phone login timesheet*
Her: “Do you see anything wrong with your phone login times here?”
Me: “Yeah, from how long ago is this?”
Her: “Three weeks, can you explain this?” with a concerned looked on her face like I had just molested her only child
Me: “I come in when I want, I just try to put 8 hours in a day”
Her: “Well it got you terminated”
Me: “I knew this was happening, I just came here for money until I was finally fired”
Her: “Why didn’t you like the job? Didn’t like the account?”
Me: “It’s a job in call centre.”
Then I told her that I hate living in the area and she agrees, saying she’s trying to get out herself. She asks what I plan to do, I said get to Halifax or Toronto area… she says she went to Devry in TO (maybe that’s why she’s working in call centre in Nova Scotia at 30-35 years old, owned bitch!) and wondered where I went to university… I said Guelph… she tried to make fun of it somehow. She said good luck on your job search. I gathered my bag/coat that the supervisor had dropped off at the front desk so I wouldn’t go back into the call centre floor and fuck shit up.
Now I’m back to the drawing board of finding a new job although I actually have some money in my bank account now so I can move to anywhere in Canada if I need to. Two student loans have their first payments starting November 31st but I’m completely ignoring them for now and they don’t have access to my bank account for direct deposit like the National Student Loans Centre had a couple years ago and wouldn’t fucking stop taking my money despite me still being in school. So I’ll just let the interest gather… then leave the country! Now wasn’t this all a waste of a couple paragraphs.
He said that that ‘that’ that that man used was wrong. This is a grammatically correct sentence and I despise this language. I should learn German or Gaelic so I can sound manly for once. Just. One. Time.
