At the store meeting, two days ago, I told the rest of the staff that the other third shifter's schedule had changed (he no longer works Tuesdays at all, and only till 3 a.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays), so they need to be more careful about what they took for 3rd shift to do, and not take more work then we (read that as I) can handle.
And then I go in last night and there are 24 jobs due on or before noon. Twenty-fucking-four. The rest of the job log, which goes until the 22nd of this month, is only 12 more jobs.
Then I also had yet another example of "owns a laptop, but is a clueless goddamned moron who should have been strangled at birth, thereby relieving the population of one more moron", a guy who called the store three times about a one-page fax, and a guy who translated "we can't have that for you until 2 p.m." as "ask again in five seconds, see if anything has changed."
I'm surprised I got as much done as I did. Luckily, the other third shift guy knocked out several jobs before he left, but damnit... I swear, I'm going to write up a note to give to everyone at work about what 3rd shift is like and what they can do to keep me from taking a ball-peen hammer to someone.
