Semi-I-told-you-sos
Well, I didn't get any of the "new" recycling picked up, but I DID manage to put what I already had outside, so... IDK. My prediction that I wouldn't get it done was spot on, but I did manage a stalemate from the jaws of defeat.
One of the supervisors at work gave her two weeks' notice today. I've known it was coming for a while, because she told me months ago she was looking elsewhere and informed me a few weeks ago that she'd found something that was pretty much a done deal and they were just doing the paperwork. It's a good move for her, and while it's a loss for us, she was also on modified duties due to a health condition that prevented her from working shifts, which contributed to some of our staffing issues. It's a mixed bag. IF we can replace her (and it's a big if), we'll have a supervisor back on shift, which would be great.
I had another one of those productive days that didn't feel productive at work. I think it's because I was on a training course all morning and because nothing is currently on fire, so things were actually calm? It's weird to not be putting out fires all the time, but I'm trying to take advantage of the calm to get some stuff done. I need to write up all my employee evaluations before I leave for my mini-vacation at the end of the month, because I'd like to leave with nothing "pending" that's under my direct control. Obviously there will ALWAYS be work left over because my job is neverending, but employee evaluations are definitely under my control and I don't want to have to rush them during the last three days of March.
In "You could have TOLD ME" news, my father ALSO got vaccinated yesterday because he's my mother's companion. He just didn't bother telling me he was also getting vaccinated. *flings hands in the air* It's good news but I am mad about it anyway. ;) The less good news is their second part of the vaccine is scheduled for the END OF MAY. Which is BONKERS. All sorts of what-the-fuckery there, frankly, and I am unimpressed, but there is not much we can do about it just yet. ARGH.
I am going to try to go to work early tomorrow to meet with the Sergeant in our operational and technical support unit (aka OTSU) to discuss an SOP he was supposed to discuss with me and get done last week. I didn't hear from him about it for days, so I poked him about it today and he finally responded that he'll be in the office tomorrow morning. Since I'm in training from 09:00 to 12:00 and then I have meetings the rest of the day, going in an hour early seems like the best way to make sure this conversation happens. Ugh. So far I am not super impressed with this guy, but he's been with us for a month, so maybe he'll surprise me later.
On that note, it is time to make my way bedward.
