Weekend ended up being shit. Under a cut

We were headed to my cousin's wedding in Augusta this weekend; mom was the florist. Cousin and fiancee were rather vague about flower wants until finally back in May fiancee decided she wanted blue and white for colors and what pieces ie 3 flower crowns and boutinneres, 1 wedding bouquet, and table centerpieces. Also NO lilies "as some of her family were allergic to the scent".

Later fiancee decided she wanted mock ups; Mom did them using hydrangea and delphinium for the blue, they were approved. Fast forward to weekend prior to the wedding and suddenly she wants all non toxic flowers because of the cats. Mom's like "There are cats at the wedding?" (you never know these days) and fiancee huffily said that guests taking them home will have cats and they don't want to poison the cats. Guess what's toxic? Hydrangea and delphinium.

Fortunately Mom was able to cancel her original flower orders with no penalty and get the new ones expressed shipped (which still end up being a day later as we live on an island). We had to go with blue dyed roses and orchids for the blue which was approved by the couple. They were ordered Monday (14th), came late Wednesday afternoon and had to be hydrated overnight so Mom could work on them Thursday. She sent pics which Cousin loved. So far so good

Friday was travel day; Mom and I in one car and Aunt H and Grandma in another. Cousin texted around noon asking for an update and we said we made it off the island okay and we were headed up.

At 3 he texts us asking if were in Augusta yet as the Event Planner was only there at the venue until 4 (they were there decorating). We should have been but traffic was heavy and we had to make several stops along the way. Mom says no we're only in Bangor.

Then all hell broke loose. Mom gets the NASTIEST text calling her unprofessional; that she had missed SO MANY DEADLINES and this was the last straw as the the flowers were supposed to be installed TODAY. They would still pay for them but would NOT accept the flowers. Mom was still welcome as a guest (like, was she not before? lol) They also accused Mom of DISREGARDING all of their wishes and using LILIES. Flowers in question were alstroemeria which LOOK like lilies but are non-toxic. To be fair apparently they can cause stomach distress but that wasn't on the site mom had checked. They were also only on the headdress and Mom said she could replace them. Still no.

Now this was Friday afternoon. The wedding was Saturday afternoon. What we were going to do was crank up the AC in the hotel room so the flowers stay nice and cool until the event (we've done it like this for a couple events with no problems) No florist I've ever known sets up the flowers the DAY BEFORE the wedding. Cousin and fiancee never mentioned they wanted them the day before (and Mom would have explained why not if they had).

We almost went home then but we had to meet up with Aunt D so we continued up to Augusta. Next morning we thought about dropping them off anyway to the venue (we figured the venue could use them for something if nothing else) and Father of the Groom (Mom's brother) was going to deliver them but Cousin said absolutely not so another cousin's girlfriend got to keep the bouquet and an arrangement; gave a couple arrangements to the hotel we stayed at and gave the rest away at home. Needless to say Mom and I did not stay for the wedding; Mom didn't want to upset the bride and I was just so pissed off.

So fuck you cousins. Hope Karma bites you in the ass hardcore!

I’m just so done right now.

Mom’s been away for a week at at a florist’s convention (testing for a higher level and classes she needs to keep up her current one). She comes in Thursday late afternoon and is also officiating a wedding later than evening which she’s also doing flowers for. So she needs someone to take the car and flowers off tomorrow and also stay overnight and for some reason thought Sis would do it even though Sis NEVER likes staying off island overnight esp since Covid. I could try to get tomorrow off and do it myself but I don’t like staying off either and Supevisor doesn’t like last minute things like this unless you’re sick. It’s cheaper if I go and I have to be off Friday anyway but I just don’t wan to! Fuck all this...

[lbfgrumbles]

Got a text this morning from supervisor asking me to call at my earliest convenience. Called and she asked where the receipt envelopes were? I’m like, “where they always are?” Apparently only the one for the 24th was in the folder, 25 and 26 was missing. When I insisted they were there last night she got pissy and said “well they’re not there NOW” like I was accusing her of making it up; HOW DARE!

It’s like my dude, I know you’re not making it up but I have NO reason to lie about fucking receipts! Then my anxiety brain kicked in with worse case scenarios etc. when I remembered that I had indeed put them in the folder as I distinctly remember when putting IN the 26th I flipped the two envelopes around so ALL the dates were facing outwards (as Supe. is anal).

But that still leaves the question of where are they now??

[lbfgrumbles]

Had work today. I’ve been feeling awful as my period this month has been really heavy and I was still feeling the after affects of the migraine I had last night but I didn’t call out as our sub wasn’t available. Supervisor notices I’m dragging and asks if I would like to go home. I say yes but I could muddle through until second boat leaves (as it’s always crazy here in the morning),

Later they tell me, and I quote “This is okay at this time of year but come summer we’re just going to have to suck it up”.

YOU were the one that suggested it, I never said a word!!!! As it was I SHOULD have gone home when they first mentioned it as my migraine was coming back and I barely made it home before being sick from it. Went to bed and slept for like 4 hours. Still feel crappy but at least the the headache has eased off.

I just really hate being made to feel like I’m faking and/or being a baby in these situations. There is no “just suck it up” with migraines and most of the time I do muddle through really bad periods. Today was not that day.

I fucked up at work.

Yesterday someone made a reservation for a 73′ truck and trailer. The only other time this company has sent a truck and trailer it was their regular 38′ box truck with a trailer.

It was a tractor trailer. And it was too tall.

Not only was it too tall, nobody knew until they were loading it and the truck hit the wheelhouse causing damage to the truck. The captain reamed me out for not asking the height and as much as it galls me, he’s right. I should not have assumed, esp since we have a loaner ferry that has a shorter height restriction than ours (the irony is that the truck would have been fine on our boat). Had to laugh though as the terminal worker on the other side was apologizing as she didn’t think to measure the height and mentioned that the truck driver himself said if he had only looked up when pulling onto the boat he would have realized he was too tall (he was paying attention to the AB on deck). We both had to laugh as the Captain himself, who is always giving his two cents when the ABs are loading, didn’t notice the problem until it was too late.

In the end though, it was solely my fault. I’m pissed at myself as it’s a flipping rookie mistake, the company now has a damaged truck and the guy who made the reservations doesn’t have his stuff and has to make more plans to get it.

I’m so done.

Supervisor texted (texted!) me today to NOT make change anymore as we are NOT a bank. (Bolding hers) I had made change for $60 for the school group doing Superbowl subs yesterday; the person who was supposed to get change forgot >.<

We have no bank on the island. There are only a few businesses on the island and only TWO are open on Sundays, the terminal and the store. The store could not make change that day for whatever reason. I did it as 1. we had the change to do so 2. we can get more change Monday (today) 3. it’ was super slow this weekend and most people pay with card anyway 4. we have done this in the past!

I just have to laugh as there has been at least two weekends where we had to exchange money at the store as the terminal had people pay for $12.50 tickets with $100 bills.

Mom and I had our Covid tests today, they are NEGATIVE BABY!!!!!

Then later I got a call from HR; apparently I should NOT have quarantined. According to the CDC where I wasn’t in contact with the infected person and where I am vaccinated I should have just worn a mask at work (which I do anyway but that’s a moot point). 

I was like; I LIVE with Mom, if she got infected I could have too. The co-worker I would have worked with all weekend has a compromised immune system. I work with the public, a lot of whom are elderly, have compromised immune systems and/or are unvaccinated. I was NOT willing to take that risk. Then HR was like “well you can’t use the Covid sick time, you have to use your own comp time” which is probably why they bothered to call in the first place. Wasn’t planning to anyway so again, moot point.

Got written up today at work due to not following the chain of command about the Covid thing last weekend. It’s fair as I didn’t; I had called my coworker to let her know what was going on right away but didn’t call my supervisor until later because she was on vacation up where I knew reception was bad and didn’t think she would get the call. So VERY stupid on my part, should have tried calling her first thing. 

BUT

Part of me is glad I didn’t as I would have had to go to work (CDC says where I am vaccinated I’m fine, just wear a mask) and I just was not comfortable doing that. So I signed the paper as it was true I did not follow protocol (not maliciously, just out of stupidity I’ll admit it) and in future I will follow it but I still do NOT regret my decision.

[lbfgrumbles]

FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK I may have been exposed I’m so freaked out!!!!  No work for me this weekend; I wanted time off but not like this. Thank god I’m vaccinated (irony is I was going to get my booster next week).

[lbfgrumbles]

Apparently I forgot to lock the door at work last night.

We have two on the front door and thankfully my co-worker locks the regular lock when she leaves and when I leave I lock the deadlock. I’m just dumbfounded as I have NEVER forgotten to lock the doors, NEVER. 

I have made mistakes in the past year and a half that I never have before. I don’t know if its the stress from Covid, financial situations, family, my new boss or what. I’m just tired and stressed and done.

[lbfgrumbles]

I feel insane watching this.

[lbfgrumbles]

Had a customer that was put in the reservations as a medical pass (they are free when you’re doctor fills out the paper work) but only realized yesterday her pass had expired back in February when they were done with the first round of treatments. Apparently she needs to go for treatments again thus the reservation but until we get the approved paperwork she can’t get the free passes.

She was (understandably) upset, barked “You should have told me!!” and hung up before I could say anything else. Figuring the decent thing to do since it was my mistake was to pay for the tickets and then called her back to let her know. She kept going on and on about how we should have told her blah blah blah which yes, I should have looked at the list more carefully (in my defense there is another person with the same first name and a similar last name)I wouldn’t be so crabby about the whole situation if the lady in question not only used to work here she was the SUPERVSIOR so she know how this all works!!

[lbfgrumbles]

Pissed at supervisor. This morning my coworker started feeling nauseous so I sent her home. She did try to call our substitute but they didn't call back right away (6am, understandable). I didn't want her to have to wait around until they did which I'm glad as the sub didn't call back until 40 min later and she couldn't come in anyway.

Called our seasonal (who's like our substitute sub) but she can't come in until noon, that's fine as at least half the day we'll have two people.

So had texted supervisor letting her know what was going on (this was before I heard back from the Seasonal) and she was all snarky about me sending coworker home before getting someone to cover. So I told her, I understand but if coworker started puking I would have too. Even if I didn't gag at the sound of someone getting sick my coworker was feeling sick!!! I was not going to make her stay here, plus I'm not risking myself and others getting I'll. I KNOW we're supposed to have 2 people on but sometimes you can't. She worked 2 days by herself every week for 2 months when our substitute was out and we didn't have our seasonal person! My coworker and I volunteered to come in but she kept saying the higher ups wouldn't let us as we'd go into overtime (which I call BS as they don't like it when we do but if they were really that hard on for two people working they would have been fine.)

So TL/Dr boss is mad I sent home a sick coworker before knowing for sure I had a sub because you know, having two people working is more important. Have a cookie if you finished this.

I am so beyond pissed right now! Last weekend I found out a there’s a Covid outbreak with this one family on the island . This family has a LARGE extended family that are also very anti-vax and anti mask. And guess what? they took their daughter down to TENNESSEE for her fucking school so 3 guesses where they got it.

THEN I find out this morning that two people that HAD COVID went into the island store!!! They wore masks so apparently thought it was okay but IT IS NOT!!!!! It’s a tiny ass store, they just exposed the owners, the workers and anyone else that was there. I’m not sure if they are the same the the ones from this weekend but either was it’s horrible.

Holy fuck I am just done with these people!! They are nice people but they are just so…willifully ignorant. The whole extended family belongs to the same church which is why they’re anti-vax because “it contains aborted fetuses!!!!” . Okay fine, then STAY THE FUCK HOME! You want to go out and do things? Get the vaccine. Because they DO go out: family get togethers, hair appts, kids sports, any social event, taking their kids to college in states with HIGH COVID RATES. Ugh. And yes, I know the vaccine isn’t a magical cure all and you should always wear a mask out and about but it would definitely help things!

What makes me the most upset is nothing will really happen to them; they’ll get Covid and be all, it wasn’t that bad. It will be someone else who end up on a ventilator for several months and is never  the same health-wise; who’s young child has permanently damaged lungs; someone else’s elderly parents who die. (not that I WANT something bad to happen to them, I just wish something would make them see reason).

I screwed up.

COworker’s daughter had surgery three weeks ago for endrimitriosis where they removed one of her ovaries that had burst. last week she had surgery AGAIN to remove the other (not sure if it burst). CW had taken the Mondays and Fridays  off to help care for daughter as 1. it’s her daughter and 2. there’s really no one else. CW did work the weekends as that was when the husband was home.

Fast forward to last Monday, CW wanted it off but substitute was working for supervisor and the seasonal had her daughter up from Virginia. I could work but Sup. wanted us to switch days (ie CW was to work Thursday if I worked Monday) so I wouldn’t go into overtime. CW really didn’t want to as she wanted to have that day to care for daughter. Supe was really cranky about that but did call HQ to see if it was okay if I went into overtime and she told me last Thursday it was okay.

This is where I messed up. I told CW but Supe hadn’t emailed or called HER to let her know so I doubted myself. I SHOULD have called Supervisor to confirm but I didn’t. It’s probably better that CW DID work today as Supervisor was being really cranky about it and acting like CW was taking weeks off when in truth it was only 2 days out of 4 and it was because her daughter NEEDED HER HELP! Plus the air quality sucks today and I’m really wheezing. Plus CW had tried to call her Wednesday but Supe never called/messaged back. So while I am not the only one at fault here I feel awful as the one that lost out was CW’s daughter. 

[lbfgrumbles]

I’m so tired. We did a luncheon for a funeral today and my back hurts from lugging stuff (plus the floors are horrible to stand on). There was also someone wearing a perfume that not only set off my asthma but also made my throat extremely sore. To top it all off I just realized I forgot to tell my supervisor something important from this weekend (I take small solace in the fact my other co-worker forgot too). At least I have one for day before work…
