it's no secret. i don't have a lot of patience. thats not new. everyone i've ever known knows that and i've yelled at just about everyone i work with at one point or another. no surprises there. i had a pretty funny conversation with a guy from out of town i work with the other day about how i earned the respect of a fellow co-worker. apparently he says great things about me behind my back. (that sounds negative when phrased like that, its not ment to be, he seems to like me). when discussing why, it stems from the first time i met him. I yelled at the guy and another manager on the shop floor because there were driving me nuts and preventing me from meeting an important deadline that day. so i ripped into the two of them and met the deadline. this is taking longer than i'd expected to read but long story short, I've yelled at a lot of people at work and at this place it seems to be working out for me.
today i kept my mouth shut and watched someone else do the same thing. because they beat me to it. it was awesome. i got into it with the yell-ee (new word: n, from the modern verb "yell", person being yelled at) a few days ago when he was going out of his way to waste my time when i had two people working with me and trying to run our new extrusion line. he is kind of a pushy guy and when yelled at, he doesn't really handel it well. he immediatly went back to his computer and wrote a nasty email to the HR guy, me, my boss and the plant manager, not about me yelling, but about me not wearing my safety glasses. two days prior.
it was an incredibly childish move by an older man who knows better. the HR guy approached me and agreed, so i'm safe there. i watched this guy get ripped into today by my boss and just sat back and smiled. it was gratifying and awesome. this argument went on for about 25 minutes and i just had to join in. it was too awesome. basically the whole thing stems from his refusal to change and fear of technology. a very stubborn person.
the other reason i wrote this post, was an other new co-work. this one, claims that he constantly doesn't get information or that he just hasn't read it yet. neither of which are ever true, i send tons of info for everything and keep it organized. i try to make it easy as i don't trust/respect people so i treat them all like idiots. after weeks of hearing the same excuse for not lifting a finger i've kind of had it with this guy, i think he'll be next to get yelled at. his BS excuses are just getting old. how hard is it to read an email? i mean really. i've been trying to make a special effort to be nice to this one too. he's from kansas and texas, which is like starting off with two feet in the hole for me. my two least favorite states. he's a fat southern boy who just wants to chit chat with everyone. up to his knees in the hole. i've tried really hard not to get nuts on him because he's just asking for it, its too easy. i just know i'm going to slip and call him fat. i know it.
PFFT! i can do this. no problem.
give it to him! go get him!
i've been somewhat frustrated myself lately. my job constantly puts me in communication with customers at their worst, but lately it's been coworkers who have been getting on my nerves. mostly those in another office but 1 or 2 from mine as well. just things like blatantly ignoring operating procedures which ends up making my life/job more difficult and occasionally wasting my time. to compound this, management has recently been reorganized so i've watched my tongue until i get a feel for everyone. but they're busting our balls too. our immediate supervisors understand, but dont have the authority to change anything.
anyway, it's getting vague, but i hear ya, go get 'em for all of us.
