This morning, I showed up at the airport and looked at about 200 cars in the return area, sitting there because they hadn't been checked in yet. Car wash was empty... four cleanup guys standing around, hikers (drivers) standing around... because we can't move them and re-rent them until they've been checked in and contracts closed out. :banghead:
Up front, only one person at the rental counter... not three. SOB... 850 return day, 750 rentals booked, two major accounts showing up en masse for a political rally (news stations)... and we're short three key people. :cuss:
Sooo... the other manager on duty and I rolled up our sleeves. I was the check in person for three hours, he manned the counter until 3:00pm... helluva run considering the lines started at 8:00am.
Point being- in my younger days (ok, maybe my not-so younger days too), I partied like a rock star and STILL made it to work, Every single time, without fail. Now granted, there may have been a few times where I never made it to bed the night before... but I always show up. I don't think some of the younger generation get this. There are other people depending on you to show up.., grrrr.
** Edit one: I don't get paid more because I have to work twice as hard to make up for someone else's hangover. These slackers assume the responsible peeps will pick up the difference... and it pizzes me off.
Mrs. Bear got called in at 4:00am this morning, because one of her co workers called in "sick." WTH calls in sick @ 3:30 in the morning, when the shift starts @ 4:30?
