El Tightwad Strikes Again

Lumbergh's back on his "where are all the supplies going?/gotta save money" tear. This morning, he called me into his office ("bring your notepad") to discuss a few things.

Aww, crap.

This time, the world is once again revolving around barn supplies.

Chainsaw, meet leg. I can't wait to revisit this topic for the THIRD TIME IN 18 MONTHS.

He wants me to "make a list" of all the barn supplies I buy at Kroger (window cleaner, paper towels, Ivory soap, trash bags, etc) on a regular basis.

Gee -- you mean like the list I sent you back in February? Which was the same list I compiled for you last fall?

Should I pull all the price comparisons I spent an entire day working on as well? How 'bout you take a looky-loo over that list ONE MORE FUCKING TIME, fail to make a decision, and shove it in a drawer/up your ass so we can discuss this ALL OVER AGAIN next February?

I appreciate you asking me for my "input" about supplies I only purchase because the assistant farm manager tells me to.

But it seems, supplies are "walking out the door."

Oh?

And if they're not walking, they're "flying."

Ohhhhh.

I see, I see. You suspect theft?

Ahhh...you have no proof, but (poorly paid) Hispanics = Of course.

He gave me that white person to white person look (c'mon, ya know?)

Ugh.

But by all means, "let's not make a big deal about this" even though you pulled me in here for yet another discussion about something I can't control, and then made unfounded (racist) accusations about "certain" employees stealing supplies to "clean their kitchens at home or whatever."

You fucking asshole. (REMINDER: The last two employees that were fired for out-and-out theft were...WHITE!)

But it's nothing, "no big deal," yet "let's keep it between us" and he'll present price comparisons to the farm manager when we have more info that "we've gathered."

And "here's an idea," it might "be better" to have me "go around to each barn and collect empty bottles and refill them every week," instead of spending "an hour at the store" on Mondays buying new bottles. Of course, I'll "still need to go to the store to get carrots and crackers and such," but "we can save money" by buying big vats of window cleaner and soap etc.

Now it "might" turn out that this will be "more trouble than it's worth."

YA FUCKING THINK?

"We'll see."
