Last Day As "The Boss"

Yesterday was my last day filling in for the manager at work. I'd had Thursday off for my Optimax appointment and went back in yesterday morning to find that the night supervisor had rearranged all of the manning I had sorted out at the beginning of the week, not knowing what I knew.
I had been told that 2 of the guards would no longer be on site from the end of this week and so had to arrange their shifts to be covered. I had managed to do this, but couldn't tell the guys why as the 2 in question had yet to be told what was happening to them.
I had to spend another couple of hours sorting the manning out again, and found that I couldn't change some things until the contract manager phoned in the late afternoon to confirm that the two had been told their fate.
On top of that we had a lift break down, just after maintenance had left for the day (everything goes wrong in this building after 17:00, I'm sure that the maintenance department must sabotage it that way, just before they leave!).

The new manager, who is due to start on Monday, came in for a brief visit today. I was not impressed. He had a really weak handshake and incredibly clammy hands. He seemed quite timid and not at all confident. Let's hope he was just being reserved, as he needs to come onto this site and kick some ass. Some of the guards have just got so lazy and need someone to keep them in line. I tried giving them hints to this during my 2 weeks, but I didn't have the authority to really whip their butts. Let's hope that this new guy can, or that I get a new job very soon.
I'm off for the weekend now, back in on Monday to Wednesday to help orient the new manager, and then off for 12 days. I can't wait.
