mousmeOrganization is clearly not this company's strong suit. I came in four and a half hours early today in order to replace someone who's on vacation. I confirmed *twice* with my supervisor that I would be leaving early as well. I told him I didn't mind doing overtime, but he said it wasn't necessary. Okay, fine.
So 6:30 rolls around, and no one has arrived yet. It's just me and the little Italian from St. Leonard. He's actually being quite civilized today. I think it's the presence of other men that makes him go a little testosterone-crazy. Anyway, no one is here, and usually people arrive at least 15 minutes before their shift, if not earlier. I confess I was a little concerned, as I was supposed to leave at 7pm.
7pm rolls around, and there's no sign of anyone. So I get a bee in my bonnet, so to speak, and my co-worker volunteers to call the supervisor and ask him what's up.
Guess what?
Yes, that's right. He made a mistake and scheduled me for overtime. I finish at 9pm, not at 7pm the way it says on the official schedule. Luckily, apart from being a little tired, I don't mind doing the overtime tonight. But that's just lucky for my supervisor. I might have made plans for tonight, and then they would have been screwed.
It's not like I didn't make sure of my schedule. Next time, however, I will do it in writing, with an email. Just to be sure.
On the plus side, I'm still going to be leaving two hours earlier than my usual time. If anyone needs to get hold of me tonight, you should phone after 9:30. :)
