You hear that?....Its rage....

By Heather

So I'm at work and we got insanely busy. Now I'm getting pretty good with the tinter but I do occasionally do something really dumb. Today was one of those days. Now before I continue with this story I'll tell you the conversation that happened just yesterday. My boss came up to me and told me that we had way to many mis-tints. And we really needed to buckle down and start focusing on what we were doing.

And today I'm really in the routine. I looked behind me to the floor as I'm tinting there's one, maybe two customers. I turn back around a moment later there's fifteen. So I'm trying to get as much done as possible and of course when you rush you make mistakes. This was a really dumb one.

 I'm tinting a line of paint and I'm rushing so much that I didn't realize as I pushed a can down the line to put in the shaker when I realize it wasn't finished being tinted yet. So here I am with tint all over my hands and all over the tinter shelf. And my boss was standing right there next to me. He got me a towel to clean off my hands and cleaned off the shelf as I got my hands clean. But I could tell he was none to happy. It was that quite rage were the air around you suddenly changes and its even so thick in the air you can taste it.



Now in my mind I say "I'm an adult! I can confront the situation and talk to him about it so we can air it out." In reality however...I did not say one damn word. When the rush was done I hid from this man. I did anything possible to avoid him. Buried myself in unloading the truck just so I would be working on something. I'm ashamed to say that I fell into prison rules. Like I witnessed someone getting shanked and I ain't sayin Sh*t.


First off I don't want to say anything because he's angry but he may not be angry specifically with me. He could be pissed because district decided it would be a wonderful idea to have a conference call at ten in the morning, our busiest hour of the day, and that's for every store. So if by chance he wasn't mad at me, I don't want to give him a reason to be mad at me.

Second, he may not even want to talk about it and forcing him to talk about it may make him more angry.



Solution, don't say a darn word. Bury yourself in work and hide...
