I work in a lumber yard, thankfully this is only temporary until I'm back in college in a few months. Around 11:30 this morning a shipment of insulation comes in and my boss sent me out to help put it away. Not a problem, I normally do this with another guy. Next thing I know we have a third person helping put it away with me, and we certainly don't need 3 people doing this. My boss comes up and starts yapping on how to put it away and wanted us doing something until the guy on the fork lift unloaded the whole truck and started bringing us the bundles. Once he was ready to start sending them up the other guy asked about going to lunch at his normal time (noon or quarter past) and my boss told us that none of us were going to lunch until he says so.

This, coming from the guy not willing to help you once it hits 11:30 cuz that's when he goes to lunch. Fucker. And it's his short day, so he's out at 1:30, what does he care?

Finally around 1:00 he showed up and let one of us go to lunch, so the guy who normally goes at noon took off. I usually eat at 12:30, I got lunch at 1:30. The insulation was completely put away by 3:45. By making us wait on lunch, he created 2 pissed off employees he didn't have to deal with and we were damn hungry putting away big plastic bags of insulation.

The question: Should he die for this? Should I be nicer? Meaner? Maybe just chop his balls off?

In a lumber yard you must have some heavy stuff that could easily fall over. Accidents do happen.

Strip him naked and roll him in the insulation. Make sure to rub him with it too.

You had to wait **one *ENTIRE* hour** past your regular numnum snacky hour time?

Oh my GOD, you POOR, poor babykins!

Of course, this would **never** EVER happen in the ***real*** world of Those who have Graduated College and have Degrees and are guaranteed lunch exactly at the time it is supposed to be.

I think you hate your job no matter what. Roll with the little things, bub, and that stress induced stroke won't visit near as quickly.
