Panjabi I.T.

I’m really enjoying this whole salaried employee thing at work, for the most part. I’m really going to be loving it once my benefits kick in next month. The company hired me fulltime and then they got this Indian kid (the kind that come from India), Panjabi I.T., from my old job at Purdue AV. He’s a twenty-three computer engineering major and hopefully he knows something about computers. Because all I’ve seen him do in the twos that I sat down to show him the ropes was holla at bitches on MySpace.com. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with spending some time cyber-trolling, Lord knows that I use to do it quite frequently *cough* A4A *cough*. But I’ll be damned if I get some bullshit call in the middle of the night because 1- he can’t figure something out or 2-he’s too busy Ya-Hoing!

This morning I had a call like that. Its a down week meaning that one or all of our production lines will not be running for a week so there’s a light load of work. Becasue of this Panjabi I.T. has been openning the plant and been doing a pretty half-ass job too. So I get a call at 6:30 this morning, saying the shopfloor is down, Panjabi I.T. didn’t come into work, so I come in with cole in my eyes and pissed off. I was pissed off becasue not only was the problem minor (like a 2 second fix) but it was something that I warned him about 2-3 times because it’s something that happens every Monday. Also he’s yet to realize the fundamentals of priorities. Some issues have a higher priority over others and if someone is calling you and you busy, you need to tell the caller that and you’ll get to them in a timely fashion. I don’t want to get anymore phone calls, getting me out of bed about bullshit again. I got wet dreams I need to be having.
