My Summer Job
My summer job at the museum has been one adventure after the other. For the most part my activities revolved around waiting for my boss to do more stupid things. She is the strangest person that I've met.
1) She smells. She has an aura of stench that follows her everywhere. She can really stink up the room. One of the other chick employes in the museum litterally almost threw up after having been in a room that the boss just left. I really don't think that she bathes much
2) She might have 3 pairs of clothes. I don't mind if maybe she interchanged the three shirts but she wears one for a few days then the other. She's got a nasty plaid one, a blue shirt with a fish print, and another one that I can't recall right now. The one day I came to work and the dark blue fish one was covered in cat prints. I told her about it and she said that it was raining and that the cats jumped up on her after being outside then in the litterbox. Most people I know would change their shirt if a cat with dirty feet (water mud and cat shit) trampled their shirt.
3) We were changing the light bulbs upstairs and we brought the burnt out ones downstairs so we could throw them out but the boss stopped us and told us not to throw them out because we could use them for a kid's craft to make maracas. Is it my imagination or is that dangerous.
4) She watered down the soap in the liquid soap in the bathroom. We have a massive tub to refill the bottles with but instead she waters the soap down. One of the employees brought liquid soap from home for her personal use but the boss watered that down aswell. We kept monitoring how much she would water it down and soon enough there was no soap left and it was all water.
5) She didn't want to buy ice for a large BBQ event we were running and she also didn't want to use tap water to make ice. She told us to freeze the water from the dehumidifiers for ice. I've even seen some sort of grey fungus goop floating in that crap.
6) At that BBQ a hotdog had fallen on the ground (grass and dirt, not inside) and had been there for about 1-2 min before the boss saw it. She came by and said that it would be a shame for it to go to waste so she picked it up and ate it. I don't care how much catsup you put on it, that's gross.
7) She has a bottle of sherry in her office at work. One time on a tuesday I told her that we were out of writable cds and she said that she would pick them up because it was on the way to the beer store and she needed to restock anyway.
8) She refused to buy safety equipment for us to work. We were working with artifacts that have mold, bacteria, possible disease, and upstairs there is lead paint chips all over the floor. We were not given WHIMIS training. She keeps axes and sharp objects in the children's area. She told me that when children get hurt it's how they learn to not do things, which is true. But, when it happens in your business you get your ass sued off for not keeping that crap out of reach.
This is just some of the "Fun" that I had this summer.
