Nomad JuanCa's Report

Hiii, finally i am updating again... what a time without news huh?

Well, i have been working restless this month until today, that i had my first free day in this whole month. uff.. i was so tired.

Well, slowly i have gotten used to these guys that i work, even though they were my co workers, i never really had to interact with them cause i was working only on weekends, so working full time with them have been another experience, i think they are also sort of getting used to me, i have realised that i am really strict, like what they said in AIESEC, and it is funny because i don't ask them more than what they should actually do... arriving on time, fulfil their promises, and so on.. but in such a "flexible" country like Ecuador it is not well seeing.

My main troubles with these guys are....

Gary, is asking allowance to leave early ALMOST EVERYDAY, first days was ok.. but now is getting me really tired. I know his house is far but he has to finish with his schedule. Solution? Last Friday he asked me allowance to leave early again.. and i said. Let's ask everybody and let them decide. Off course they were not happy with it, but as he is a friend they allowed him and i said. Ok, you go early today but you will recover your working time on January 2nd, meaning you will work the whole day until the store closes (10am to 9pm). He accepted, hope he learns.

Shirley, i have been quite close to report her, she is arriving late everyday, sometimes an hour late. Today she arrived an hour and a half late, so i sent her an sms saying. "Shirley you are an hour late, we are waiting for you". I wasn't supposed to be at the store, but i did. I told Rosa, next time you have to come to the store when Shirley ends his turn,... arrive an hour and a half late. So she will understand how it feels. .... I hope she learns too.

Rosa, she says she is pregnant for third or fourth time of a guy who does not want to be father... i mean it sounds so stupid for me...sometimes i think this girl can't close the legs... sorry for the expression but it is something that bothers me. She had taken the costume of escaping and tell me she was going to the Dr but she was with her friends so last time she said "oh i feel bad and i want to go" i told her, ok, this is the last time. Next time you feel bad.. i will call your mother, because you know.. i get worried about you and you feel so bad.. it could be something serious, and i don't want anything bad to happen to you. The other day, she also told me i have to go Juan cause i have an appointment with the Dr. and i told her. You are not going anywhere, if you want to meet your Dr you do it out of working schedule. Looks like she has learnt a bit at least, but she keeps on gossipping about people.. something i hate.

Martha, she was getting same costumes like Rosa one day i let her leave the store for couple of hours and she came back almost 4 hours later. I got angry and that night i left her alone at the store so she would close it. I also made a comment the other day for her to come early cause she was arriving 1h40min belated. Looks like she is learning, hope so.. hope so

Xavier, he is the one giving me more troubles than anyone Elsa's. This guy does not fulfil anything he says, if he says i will be there.. he arrive too late or don't arrive. I have talked to him, told him not to do that and told him i know some of his excuses are not true.... but i think he has not learnt. He is supposed to open the store tomorrow and they whole day didn't show up to pick up the keys, also.. i called him hundred times and never answered his mobile. I had to even call his house to request his family to remind him not to miss the store opening tomorrow. As i am not sure if he will go or not i will have to wake up early tomorrow and call him home again just to make sure everything is fine... if he does not fulfil his responsibility tomorrow... i swear i will report him. I am tired of his though less attitude.

I know many of you might think i am too strict, but if you see it... i am just asking them to do the things the commit to do. Isn't it how it should be?

Sometimes i feel like i am crazy living in a world where your word and commitment have no value, but i hope i will teach these guys.. it does.
