This probably isn't the right place for this, since "annoy" doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling, but there isn't a "Things that make you homicidal" thread so I'm putting this here.
As some of you know, I work at a veterinary clinic. What I haven't yet mentioned is that I had to put my last pet rat, Scotty Smalls, to sleep recently. As I have done with all of my furry pets that pass, I had his body sent out for private cremation. The pet cemetary that does our cremations has a driver come pick up the bodies and then the ashes are shipped back to us via UPS.
Smalls's ashes were shipped back yesterday along with the ashes of a client's pet. Only I'm off on Fridays and the employee that unpacked shipments yesterday didn't bother to call me. I got to work this morning and saw the packing list with my rat's name on it, so I went to where we keep the cremains that are waiting for the owners to pick up. They weren't there, but the ashes of the other pet that came back yesterday were there. I searched everywhere I could think where they might be. Nothing. Both of my coworkers who were working today were there yesterday but both claimed not to know and the one that unpacked the shipment swore she put his ashes where they were supposed to go. We called the other two employees that worked yesterday. Nobody knew anything. Then on a hunch the coworker who didn't unpack the shipment went outside and climbed into the dumpster.
Guess what she found? That's right, the urn with his ashes. Still in bubble wrap. Still in the shipping box. THROWN IN THE F***ING TRASH. My incompetent piece of crap coworker better thank her lucky stars that the urn was found and wasn't damaged and that she must have unpacked the shipment after the garbage truck had picked up yesterday.
This is just one of many stupid mistakes this idiot has made since being hired in January. Up til now my boss had just been talking to her about the mistakes and putting restrictions on what she's allowed to do - as if that's somehow going to fix the problem - but I think he's finally realizing that she needs to be let go. I can only hope he actually follows through.
