The Day I Flared Up At Work

I don't usually get angry, but today I was really pissed.

I was stationed in Egypt, assigned to Rick O' Connell.
My IC was D.
It rained near my set timing.
I asked the SM for advice, N said hold for 5 mins.
After 5 mins, I asked for advice again, N said he told me to hold for 10 mins.
I told him that he said 5 mins, he argued that he said 10 mins.
Even Winnie also said that he said 10 mins.
Then K turned to me and mocked me, asking me the difference between 5 and 10 mins.
To me, there's no difference between 5 and 10 mins, I am not the one eager to see the characters and take photos with them.
But to the SMs, every minute late on set is frowned upon, the order was to be as punctual as can be.
So I was really shocked that an SM who is so high up is asking me this question.
Oh well, then fine, we'll just delay.

So when my set was finally cancelled, I went to look for Chad.
He was nowhere to be found.
I asked D, as this was his job to check every morning when he came to the room.
He didn't check, instead, pushed the job to me.
I went to ask N, K called me over.
She asked me why didn't I check my cast, I was dumbfounded again.
I was quite affected at this point already.

So D reassigned sets for me.
Turned out I had to cover his set, which he did not even change the name of escort to me, but claimed the credit himself.
I flared up and asked him why is everyone doing so little set, but I'm doing so many sets with hihi bye bye at the end of the day.
He got scared, I guess, he asked me in.
I got to know that he said really loudly that he did 3 sets too.
He handed the report to me to submit, and left at 5+pm.
He's an IC, but he dumped his responsibility aside.
I checked, aside from half the set that he had to return early due to rain, he only did another 1 set.
And when he asked me into the room, he cancelled my name for that set and wrote in Jastin's name.
So my name was only shown as doing one set for the whole day.
Downright f-ing liar!
Well, he's quitting anyway, and that was his 2nd last day, I'm glad I made it bad for him.
I'm not afraid if he went to complain to that gang of his, for they are known to be two-headed snakes, siding whoever speaks first.
