Kirin Reads The Riot Act

Kirin interviews someone for my role. Kirin says the candidate was useless and that it was an hour she would never get back.

We were read the riot act later in the day by Kirin because she has been told off in the last two management meetings she has attended. 

 I hate to say it, but generally, Kirin getting told off is often for things she has done that she has blamed on Kerin or me, that she has consequently been told off about because we are her employees, and it is her job to manage us.

Kerin seems to be getting upset at what Kirin was saying. She denied it when challenged. She has little confidence in her abilities. She was a grad thrown in the deep end in June, with no experience and according to Kerin little support. It must have been hard for her, but she is enthusiastic and diligent. She tries hard and means well.

Kirin asked if she could lock in some late nights. Kerin has made passing remarks about me leaving at 4.30pm every day, so I got to explain why. I get 150% on top of what I already get, as soon as I work more than 7.5 hours, or, at least, the company gets charged it by my company. Previous clients have been displeased with this.

I came home and called Perry to see how he was holding up and how Wesley was. He didn’t answer, so I left a message. Perry called back quickly, he was on the phone to Wesley’s dad, and he said he would call back. He never called back. I’m not sure how important I am in Perry’s life? I guess I should cut him some slack, after all his partner had just had a major heart attack, but I am sure he called back all the people he is really close to, if you know what I mean. Still, it is good to know. I already knew. 

We ate cabbage and prawn stir fry with roast pork and egg.
