And the work hits keep coming... my shift ended at 6:00 today, but one of the drivers who finished at 7:00 texted me to tell me that our newest instructor no-showed for her 6:30. The student was still there, and understandably upset and angry that her instructor had never come in.
I specifically gave this instructor my number so that she could let me know if she would be unable to make it in, because she started hinting around both that she was struggling with having a second job and that she was worried her car might not be reliable, plus that her parents didn't like her working so much because it meant she wasn't home to help them around the house. She already spoke to the manager, and agreed to work through the end of the month, and that for June and beyond we got special permission for her to work fewer hours than the minimum typically required.
I'm sympathetic... I only worked two jobs for a very short period, and one was very limited hours, but it burned me out pretty good. She's also the instructor who lost a close friend last week.
But no-call/no-show is pretty shitty, especially for the student that it stranded.
She was scheduled for four appointments tomorrow, and I don't trust she'd come in for those, either.
I called the field director, because my manager is on vacation. She said she'd try to contact the instructor, and take action accordingly.
My manager texted me - so my attempt to not bug him on vacation was kind of for naught - and said that the drives tomorrow would be cancelled, too. Presumably the new person resigned, so dreading that for all her future appointments, too. (We have no available appointments until August, sobcry.)
-
Tomorrow I'm off of work (and as coincidental as that is, I feel like I picked the damn right day to not have to deal with shit, lol. Except it will probably be my problem on Sunday anyway.)
The reason I'm off of work is to drive to Wyoming for a model show with Alex. Of course, it's still FUCKING SNOWING, so we'll see what the highway is like. The 90° yesterday (before the SNOW TODAY) definitely kept the snow from sticking for quite some time, which was helpful throughout the day, but that luck may run out overnight.
We'll see.

Tomorrow is likely to be pretty tiring, so it may be Sunday before I get caught up here. My brain is drained after the long day, and worrying about how much will be waiting for me on Sunday.

I hope the snow isn't too much of a problem. At least it's water, and when it melts it should wet the ground rather than run right through like rain would. I hope the drive and show are nice.

The snow was less of a problem than anticipated - never stuck to the roads, and melted pretty quickly. Our power did go out at least twice, but not for long. Lots of broken branches, unfortunately.
But the drive was fine, and I AM glad we have the much-needed moisture. (Hopefully it didn't utterly wipe out the spring flowers - haven't taken much of a look.)

I hope the flowers are okay, but yeah, moisture is good.
