1. Our broken dryer 2. My fucking coworker. I know this is shocking. Her schedule today: 9:55 am “wahhhh my VPN hasn’t worked for the last 20 min so I haven’t been able to log on yet” (why you’re logging on at NINE FORTY when you’re working at home is beyond me. Like literally you just need to roll over in bed) 10 am finally logs on for the day 12-1:30 lunch break with her dad 3:30-3:40 runs a call 4:15 says she is going to finally come to the office (after like 2 weeks) to come move her shit since we’re moving buildings. Doesn’t take her computer.
Now i’m no mathematician but I don’t think that’s even 5 hours of work.
@b_1029 Gotta love the useless co-workers. I keep meaning to check in on mine one day when I’m working late. He gets here at 10 or 11, because he “works until 7 or 8.” I occasionally work until 7, but I never remember to look down the hall to see if he’s still there.
Same guy that typically comes in anywhere from 9:15 to 9:40 - sends us an email at 10:45 that he has a doctor's appointment. No ETA back was given, just that he'd "be back after the appointment". FINALLY showed back up to work at 3:15. Now if my math is right, and subtracting the lunch hour that doesn't count towards our work hours, he was gone for 3.5 hours!!
Should I rat him out to my boss (who's out of the office for training) that he was gone for basically half a day and should use 4 hours of PTO? Because hellooooo you were basically gone most of the work day especially when you consider he comes in an hour and a half later than the typical start time.

@mercury94 she NEVER stays late. She went through a phase where she’d log on at 9:45 and leave promptly at 5. If she ever even tried to say she stayed late I would lol at her because I can see how many hours she has been offline haha. It’s so frustrating when people do that!
@inthewoods23 I feel like you and I just have the ongoing sagas of awful coworkers. What on earth was he gone for so long for??? I don’t know of any appt that would take that long. He obviously is taking advantage of the fact your boss is OOO. Do you have a good relationship with your boss? I complain to our manager fairly often and feel comfortable doing so, but she doesn’t do anything to discipline / remedy the situation.
@b_1029 well, he does live 30+ minutes (no traffic) from our office which is partly why he comes in later. Otherwise he'd spend an hour in traffic every morning. So.... Figure the appointment itself took 2.5 hours then since I'm guessing his doctor is near where he lives. It was probably a procedure of some kind. Whatever. I do have a good rapport with my boss and I've alerted him to a few things before so I'll probably let him know because he and I have talked about flexibility since I've had so many appointments dealing with the IUIs and then IVF. BUT at least I do all early morning appointments and not things right in the middle of the day.
Sometimes my boss isn't even in the office until 8:30 or later since *TW* he's got 2 LOs and they're sometimes a handful. There are times that I still get in before everyone, even with an appointment.
