suspension

It's been a while.

I've been a busy man. When I am not driving an elevator or writing the blog, I do lots of stuff, none of which I will tell you because they might offer clues to my real identity. That and they aren't that interesting and/or incriminating.

The holiday tipping season is in full swing and I will say yes, people are generous. Working for rich people can be kind of annoying much of the time, but this time of year it's all good.

I have a grievance. There is a new manager in the building and he is becoming annoying. He is a nice enough person and he's very good at his job. He made a lot of small changes that were begging to made under the previous manager, and the staff culture has changed for the better as a result.

But he's never worked in a building that had a service staff before- never before in his life has this man worked an 8 hour shift as either a doorman or an elevator operator. No doubt he has ideas about how it should be done, and no doubt the parties concerned with maintaining the tone of the building have given him all sorts of ideas, but the fact remains he has never done it himself.

This is a problem. He thinks he can tell me how to do my job, but he has never done my job.

He catches me reading all the time because he sneaks up on me. Through the back door. He threatened to suspend me yesterday!
