boston public on fox and "friday i'm in love" in my head
i fucking hate brian at work. he's the one who does the payroll, and i want to injure him. i went to the payroll office in the main building and explained my situation, that i had turned my timesheet in a day late but needed the money for rent and the electric bill. the woman was genuinely concerned, and told me to call brian, tell him carrie told me so. i called him and told him that i had turned in my time sheet the 16th rather than the 15th. he said, "well then you won't get paid."
"i realize that, but a carrie at the payroll office said to talk to you about getting an emergancy voucher sent over so i can; if i don't, i can't pay rent or the electric bill."
":heavy sigh: hold on."
so when he comes back, he starts explaining the policy of when to turn in timesheets. all the while i'm thinking, obviously i know this; i've worked here a year and this is the first i've ever turned it in late. then finally he asks, "is there no way you can wait until the end of the month?"
"i have $160, my rent's $400, and my electric's $60."
":condecending tone: well then looks like you would have been more careful about turning in your timesheet. i'll go ahead and do it this time i guess."
i came home and yelled at jennifer about it, then went to sleep. he called and said i could pick it up today after three. when i went to pick it up, carrie asked, "did brian give you a hard time?"
":scoffs: yes!"
"honey, you shouldn't take that from him!"
"i know! if i were a crappy employee, i'd understand. but i do my job, and i do it well!"
"i just wouldn't listen to him. you really shouldn't have to go through that, and you should let him know."
bah! oh well. as jenn and i walked out the door to pick it up, marc and stefan were walking toward our apartment. the anger toward marc has become contagous. he was just looking at me as i told stefan where we were going, and as i started to leave he said, "i guess...i'll see you later." i just waved and walked off. :falls over: it's just so not fair. i'm going to eat mint chocolate chip ice cream and try to make janeane stop clawing my jeans and putting holes in them. raar.
"i don't care if monday's blue, tuesday's grey and wednesday, too. thursday i don't care about you."
<3, chelsea.
