Well, my sick day ended up becoming an impromptu weekend of sorts. I waited until I was already 15 mins late on Wed, to call in sick. I was greeted by a grumpy super, and was informed if I couldn't make it Wed, then I might as well take Thurs to make sure I was "100%". So, I did. Then this morning I made sure I was on time, cause it isn't like I can afford yet another day without pay this week. I asked what they had for me first thing, and he simply pointed at the broom closet. I tried to make a joke rummaging around in the closet and saying I can't find where you hid my paperwork in there for my morning delivery. He wasn't really having any of it, and just told me to get out to the Barn and start sweeping. I swept for about an hour, and then started playing broom hockey with a crushed soda can, would have been more fun if there had been someone to play with, but they were out on runs. What a wasted morning. I made a name tag out of some masking tape that said 'Broom Jockey' then under the '4 LIFE' Hahaha! Some of the other guys had a pretty good laugh about that, but when the super saw it, he pretty much said I was going to be on the broom all next week if I can't straighten up. So I stood up a little taller and smiled at him. He looked pretty pissed, but he didn't say anything else. I guess some guys just take shit too seriously. If he really does put me on the broom all week, I am not going to be too happy, I'll say that much. Anyway, it was just another one of those Fridays where you spend the last 3 hours of the day staring at the clock waiting for it to hit Five, so you can get the weekend kicked off right. Hope you guys all have a great weekend!
 
Your boss sounds like a total prick. I think I'd try to socialize with him and his wife, get them both drunk some night and pop her in the kiester.
It'll make things seem better!
 
Again, you should be no less than outraged at your employers complete lack of respect for your willingness to be a true team player. I would strongly recommend taking a personal day Monday to brief the attorney you should have consulted before regarding your employers obvious discrimination. I'm pissed for you!
 
you stopped wearing the skinny jeans didn't you and I bet you don't stroke the broom stick while in-front of the boss. I told you to keep wearing the skinny jeans...just shake your ass at the boss, bend over in their office while cleaning and they'll know that you're a TEAM player...no more broom for you. If that doesn't work...you're boss is thick headed and you need to just sit under his desk.
 
Gas, I think your getting the short end of the stick so to speak. Broom duty for following instructions to take an extra day off is just not right. I would show up Monday and tell him your sick of these BS jobs, and you want to do some real work.
 
The only real work that Gas can do is get on his knees to help out around the office. If he would have just done that on day one he could get a full pay check and just be on call.
