Giving Flamingo The Bird
or
A Day In The Life of a Reservations Clerk
by Grinning Coyote
Today was the worst day of my life. I might as well have been fired. I was
suspended. The reason I was suspended is because I refused to wear a bra
and I was in a bad mood. Please note: This did not reflect over the phone
to customers. To them, I was cheerful (I received comments as such),
friendly, helpful, etc. All the things a good reservations clerk should be.
Let's face it, I don't have boobs worth talking about. We're talking about
a 52-A bra that doesn't exist. My back is huge, my boobs are smaller than
most men's pects that I know.
I've been given a 3 day suspension (comes to the rest of the entire week)
because they don't make a bra that fits me and I refuse to look like a
retard.
I got in at 3:00 am this morning in a fairly reasonable mood. The last
month or so has been getting on my nerves. I'd gone from "walking on water"
to "swimming in lead" at work -- let's face it, I was on the boss's shit
list because I did something that I wasn't properly trained to do
incorrectly. Anyway, I sat down to do bus summaries for the busses that
were coming in today and for the next two weeks. That's a laugh. I have to
struggle to keep one week out. Not because I'm slow, mind you, but because
the damned bus companies send in their fucking changes every single day up
to the last second!
For the first four hours, everything went fine. However, at 7:00 am, the
supervisor came in in a bad mood. She's been having problems with the
company not wanting her to go out with her security guard boyfriend because
she's a "suit" now. Big fucking deal, it's not her right to take her mood
out on me. I had one summary that had to be done for that day, and I didn't
find out about it until almost 7:20. Ohgeeohgollywow! I was supposed to
stop working on the damned things at 7:00 am, but, as everyone knows, there
are exceptions to everything. I told her I needed to do the summary, and
she started lecturing me about having to be done by 7:00. I told her that I
didn't find out about it till 7:20, and the bitch told me that it wasn't
her fault. I was in no mood for this, so I told her it wasn't mine either,
but it had to get done. She started bitching about it at me, so my final
response was "shit happens" (note: She's trying to get me canned by
claiming that I told her to kiss my ass. Well, at this point she
