Today was definitely a Monday…
I’m still enjoying the new job, but today the other front desk girl didn’t come in and she told the office coordinator via text that she had a doctors appointment this morning and would let her know how the appointment went when it was done. So after a couple hours she hadn’t reached out to anyone and she wasn’t responding to messages so we don’t know if she’s coming back at all.
Me, being the anxious person that I am, have this whole scenario in my head that she had an emergency appointment to go to and then had to have emergency surgery or something (because she obviously wouldn’t have her phone). Meanwhile, the office coordinator and other employees just assume she’s done because she still lives with her parents and has no bills and just works for “fun money.” Honestly, I hope they’re right in this case!
The other issue I have with this though is I worked with this girl on Friday and she was talking about working future weekends with me and told me she’d she me on Monday. I also didn’t get any bad vibes from her and I really did think she had a good sense of work ethic, but the OC doesn’t think so. To be fair she has known her way longer, I just can’t believe how off my radar is. I usually am very good about reading people.
There’s no point in dwelling on it now though, I’m sure we will hire someone soon and get them trained and everything will be okay soon enough. For now I will just work the overtime and enjoy my paychecks. I hope everyone is having a great Monday evening.
