People piss me off

It well and truly pisses me off when people don't do what they say they will. You want to quit because after three days you decided wiping someone else's butt isn't for you? Fine. You say you're going to help me until I find someone to replace you?

Then do it.

Show up when you say you're going to. Don't decide a couple of shifts after that to just not show up and not call -- ESPECIALLY after I thanked you for being honest and quitting rather than just not showing up and not calling.

I can't even blame it on her age (19) because I have two other attendants (barely 20) who have both been honest and don't pull this airhead BS. They might not have always been available when I needed them in the year they've worked for me, but they have NEVER failed to show for a shift without a call.

And this at the end of a day where I accomplished nothing because I was fighting depression.

Stupid children.

All I can say is that this must be Attendant Hell week. Someone is not on our side.

There's a *wide* range of maturity levels at that age. I was a little shit at 19 but I'm working with a 20 year-old now that has two jobs and just bought a house. Go figure.
