That's right! I want to hear about the bullshit you had to deal with at work this week. Shoutout to those who are working for the weekend and working on the weekend!
This is a work vent thread, if that isn't clear. I might make this a Friday ritual.

I work both for the weekend and on the weekend. Thumbs down.
The other plumber at the shop I work at quit because he is moving across the state, and sprung it on everyone at the end of the day today. I'm not sure how I feel about it; on one hand he was generally a bad plumber who worked unsafely w natural gas, would sit in his van and tell his apprentice to do the work while he waited. He had a lot of recalls that I would have to pick up in addition to my normal work, and now he is gone so I don't have to deal with his shit, but at the same time our rotating on/off emergency actually worked pretty well somehow and now that he is gone I'm stuck on call this weekend since it was supposed to be his weekend on call. I had to cancel some plans to accommodate and I'm feeling pretty salty about it comrade.
I'm not looking forward to being asked to work on call next weekend too b/c we have nobody else to take the calls. I'm goi g to be a whiny MF next Friday.
