thank you to all who prayed

she didn't show up. i'm thinking she's too scared of me. she had asked on sunday (before our blow-up) if i would train her in on a different position. (she had a choice as to which day she wanted to come in, which meant a choice of who would train her.) i said, 'well, here's the deal. i'll do a better job. i'll help you more. but i'll also be on your case non-stop and hounding you to do things right. like clean up after yourself [a huge issue she and i have].' she said that was okay because she wanted to be trained in well.
then we had our spat. (after which she told the cook that she was scared i'd rat her out for our argument. he assured her that i'm not like that.) at the end of the day, i told her that when i do the position i was supposed to be training her in on i come in at 6, not 5:30, so she could come in later on wednesday. she said okay.
she then called in sick monday night. i have a sneaking suspicion that she was scared that i talked to the boss about it and didn't want to get in trouble. then today she just plain didn't show up. i was on cloud nine. seriously, all day i couldn't stop smiling and talking about how happy i was. i'm guessing she'll show up tomorrow to be trained in by my co-worker. granted i wish she would just plain never show up again, but at least i won't be stuck with her. hoorah!

Who just doesn't show up for a job and then still has a job to come back to??? That is just rude. (But I'm glad you don't have to train her since it was obviously no picnic for either of you.)

she is extremely weird. technically she wasn't scheduled to work, she was just told to come in for training someday, and apparently this ended up not being the day she chose. i'm glad.

I'm glad it worked out for you, but I hope she gets trained as well so that she does a better job in the future...

she trained in yesterday and is on her own tomorrow. a disaster waiting to happen, but i'm not there, so i don't really care. :)

just try to remember that in this economy, it's a blessing to have a job - and she probably needs hers, too.

that's the wrong attitude. if she didn't have this job, perhaps a decent person who needs a job would have one. no, instead i had to listen to the sermon yesterday on I cor. 13, and try to be patient and kind today.
