*blink blink*

I needed to mark this day in my personal little life history. Today CCW2 was not a pushover for CCW1.

We ordered in lunch today for the office. Busy time period right now. Any hoodles, CCW1 is broke as usual and walking around telling folk she is hungry and broke. But she has cable. Your priorities are screwed in my book when you are hungry but got cable. Naw!

So she borrowed money from me that I ain't seen in two years. So that means she can't get anymore out of me. Especially, not when her priorities are all screwed up.

Normally, CCW2 will help her out in these instances. CCW2 said NAW! And when CCW2 got her lunch, CCW1 was like "Oh I'm following you to get some of yours." CCW2 said "No you won't." Went into her office and shut the door.

*blink blink*

I was done. That is the first time I've seen that in four years. I mean CCW1 calls CCW2 at home to borrow money. And CCW2 always coughs it up. So today was a bit of shock for me. It needed to be remarked upon. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

CCW2 got some upsetting news from her child yesterday. She may just be upset about that now.  Still, that was ... WOW!

Just in case...

So this is about Crazy White Guy On My Job that I've blogged about before. Just click the link for a recap.

Well, my boss brought me into the office and told me he would be quitting and asked did I want to go ahead with the upgrade to financial analyst! YES! *dances around* I have been handling two accounts for a few months and just got a third. One account has closed and she is ready to assign me 3 more. So I'll have five and she's talking to HR about putting through my upgrade. This was a trial to see if a) I could handle it and b) did I want to handle it. CCW1 tried it and didn't like it. Me and her are two different people.  I don't have a college degree so there are a few extra steps to go through to be grandfathered into the position. *shrug*

So after our meeting she emails him that he needs to announce that he is quitting so that he can transition the two accounts that I will be taking over off to me. He was suppose to then put me in touch with the field personnel so they know who to contact now.  He ain't contacted not anyone in the field though he did send out an email to us here in Baltimore. He even says in his email that he is working to transition his work load off now. He ain't met with a soul or talked to anyone. *disappointed but not surprised sigh*

So my coworker who is at the same pay grade as me asks me has he talked to me yet. I said no. She was like, well that account is huge. It is a *tries to remain calm* multi-million dollar account. I told her: You know what? I know who the FA was who had the account before him and she is still here. I got her stuff and I'll just take my time and go month to month for the last 2 years that he's been monitoring it and clean it up. Because I know several of our subcontracts are over but he ain't closed a damn thing. *sighs*

So my coworker says: It is like he doesn't care. I responded: How many months have I been telling you he didn't care. Why did I say that? She went off about the problems this is gonna cause and blah blah blah. *shrug* It is what it is. I'm 44 years old and I've seen too much to ever be surprised by what people do when they refuse to accept responsibility for their part in their own failures. He probably thinks that if he doesn't leave me anything to track that I'll fail. In the God I serve there is no failure.

So he's been here over two years. There is no farewell party. And we don't think he has a job. Office rumor mill is that he got pissed after his latest mistake and quit in anger.

*wise old negro slave side eye*

Angry white men and job stress very often equals office shootings. So if I never post another thing or suddenly stop posting months or years later, just check Baltimore, MD news for office shooting and he probably got me. How many times have they reported in the news some angry white dude went back and shot up the job he ain't worked at in 2 or more years.

Death does not scare me. There are worse things in this life than just death. I know for certain I would be on his list. I stopped helping him last year sometime after he pissed me off. I have zero fuggs to give about it. My employer hired you because they felt you were smarter than me and could do a better job than me. Then do it! Otherwise get out of my way!

Like I posted last month, I've made some decisions about my life and need to make some moves. This ain't about anyone else but me and my livelihood. I don't lie or steal or throw people under the bus or even snitch. I do my job to the best of my ability and keep it moving. However, I ain't carry a single other soul who can stand on their own two feet. This is a place of business. We are not child laborers so do your job.

I have no sympathy for him because in the beginning I was showing him stuff, telling him the EMPLOYER PAID training classes he should take. And they are taken on company time so there is no reason an employee shouldn't have the training they need to do their job.

He had 90 days to decide this job wasn't for him. He could report to HR and say that this job ain't for him and HR would send him to interview for other jobs internally. I've seen it happen! So, he lolly-gagged but he's mad that I didn't bend over backwards to help him. Not when you make that much more than me puddin'. Nope. I do wish him the best and hope he lands on his feet so he doesn't come back and shoot up the place though.

CCW2 is wondering should we take off on his last day. *eye rolls* When it is your time to go then it is your time to go. Lord God willing, I'm a be right here on his last day.
