The Dislike of Skeeter, Part II

Yep, more job whining ahead..... Today I was going about my business, doing the jobs of two people. All was well, though a large order had to be set aside while they waited for parts. I had almost everything packed when I noticed that there was an order of eight waiting to be picked and sent down to the builders. They were stainless steel cases, which require 3 hubs. These also needed two pushbuttons, two lights, two lenses, a transformer, a circuit breaker, 3 fuses, and a handle each, as well as eight sets of paperwork. While I was working on this, the parts they had been waiting for arrived, so they all set about finishing up the order of 20 and sending them down to be packed. This made the pack station get backed up since I was the one who was supposed to be down there. When I had finished the order of eight and sent them down (and saw what a mess the pack station was by then) I decided to go to the restroom before tackling it. When I came back no more than three minutes later, Skeeter was waiting for me, demanding to know where I had been. Among other things he said he was "sick and tired of seeing the line backed up like this", but it hadn't been backed up all day and I told him so. I told him that when I left (to do the stainless steel) there had only been one case left at the pack station. He then said, "You're trying to tell me that all of these came while you were in the restroom??" I said, "No, they came while I was filling the stainless order -- then I went to the restroom." *sigh* What an ass! I don't mind him wondering where I was, or asking why the line was backed up, or even expressing displeasure. But I think he should have apologized for his tone of voice, if nothing else, after I explained. No, not "explained", "defended". He treated me as though I had been slacking off and was lying about it before he even knew what had happened. I don't deserve to be talked to like that by anyone! I talked to a union person about it, who called the plant manager over (he was out cruising around at the time). He said poor little Skeeter was under a lot of pressure and not to take it personally. Sorry? I'm under pressure too but I'm not snipping at people. He never did apologize. Later, though, he came to ask if I could send some things down to be built (I had been waiting on some paperwork). He basically followed me up there, then stood in my way while I filled three orders or so, as if I needed a babysitter to make sure I didn't wander off. And the first one, the one I was awaiting paperwork for? As soon as the order was ready to go Skeeter picked up the papers to read them. And stood in my way. Then huffed off when I went around him to do the next order while he took his time moving. What is his problem??? At least tomorrow is Friday -- and then I don't have to see his little Skeeter face for 10 days!!!
