Today I was planning on leaving work early to prepare for my "valentine's weekend" (because my girlfriend lives a few hours away, we couldnt do anything on wednesday). She is showing up at my place at 5pm. So i was going to leave @ 3:30, right? I tell this guy i work with... and all the sudden he is acting like he is my keeper because my boss is out.
I said to him: "FYI, im leaving at 3:30 today, gotta go home and prepare for.... (above mentioned)"
he: "Did you just ask if you could leave at 3:30?"
me: "No, I said i was leaving at 3:30... rumor is, you are leaving as well."
he: "Well, I have a few more hours racked up in the past few weeks so Jon (boss) allows me to be a LITTLE flexible on my hours"
me: "So your saying I should stay till 5"
he: "yes, but i'll be a little flexible if you stay late on monday"
me: "I stayed late this past monday, if you really want to get into it (till about 7)"
he: "lets not start counting hours."
F-YOU buddy, obviously your the one counting the hours. no one notices that I am here before everyone almost every day (1/2 hour at least). If work is important and needs to get done, I stay late. I dont take long lunches, (max 1/2 hour when we are allowed one hour) giving me an extra hour worth of work day, PER DAY. I put in more than enough time per day working my butt off for this company... I hate not being appreciated by my co-workers. My boss loves me, thats good, but when you only work with about 6 other guys, all ages 24-27, its important to be respected and appreciated. GRRR.
Needless to say, no matter what this jerk says, i'm leaving at 330.
