This really belongs in spam but i didnt think i should write and entire book there. I just need to get this out and i have nobody to bitch to about it.
I have a very busy weekend at work. 3 very large events back to back. The biggest one being tonight. Most of these were all you can drink type events/VIP parties. My first bitch is nobody added a gratuity to the contracts and so i end up making the pitiful cash tips that people give me while i run my ass non stop for several hours.
Second I needed to hire another person to help at these events since we are down a bartender and need more than normal for big events. I posted an ad on Facebook to get someone i know since its just am occasional job and got several responses. (I know a ton of people in the industry) A friend talked me into going with a girl that i didnt know as well (i know her husband very well) mostly because they really need the money. I called her set her up with a day to come in for training. She called off an hour before because her mom was in hospital (i get it not a problem.) a week later she texts me telling me that she can still work and wants the shift. I set her up with another day for training. I text her day of and 3 hours later i get a text back saying... Oh i thought it was tomorrow. I cant come tonight (her mom had passed the week before and she spaced. Id be a mess if my mom died so i completely understand). This was Thursday and we actually needed her for the shift. We made due being short staffed. I told her to go ahead and come tonight and wed just deal with her not being trained. She knows how to bartend and since we have no registers for a major fundraiser it should be fine.
I text her just now to double check times with her and she sends me a text saying her husband is mad he has to come pick her up at 2am and bring their 6 yr old so Can i drive her home. She lives 20 minutes north of the venue. I live 45 minutes south. This is going to make me have to drive 1.5 hours to get home at 230 in the morning. I dont understand how any of this is my problem but if i say no then im short staffed again and i look like an ass to my boss for hiring this girl.
Im going to be on my feet major running for the 3rd day in a row. Tonight's shift is at least 10 hours for me since i have to be there earlier since im in charge. Im already sore as hell, my feet are huge and im sick (im in antibiotics so not contagious)
Oh and my husband also felt the need to sleep in today... He is also sick.... But he has nothing to do but watch kid the entire rest of the day and he was asleep when i got home last night at midnight. I may strangle him too.
Sprry for so much bitching. I needed to get it out before i explode at work.

Re: I need to vent before i lose my shit
She bailed twice. Regardless of what you do for this event, i wouldn't give her another chance after this. At the end of the day, you are the one responsible and you shouldn't have to chauffeur someone at 230am. If they need the money that badly, her husband came come get her (though I'm thinking if you tell her that she will just bail all together).
So yeah.. I guess only you know how to weigh the pros and cons of having her vs being short staffed. But yeah... If you aren't dependable, I'm not making excuses for you no matter how badly you need the money. If you were that desperate you'd make it work.

ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
Waited a long time, tried a lot of stuff, science made me a mom.
My first thought was "Why can't she get Uber or a taxi?"
No, I would NOT drive an extra 45min out of my way at 2am after working so much for 3 days for a flaky person.
