I think you're handling this in the very best way. Was there anything said in the meeting which you can learn/change from? Since you can't change your bosses and their lack of leadership, was there anything you can use to help improve your own work? That's usually the only benefit to be gained from a situation like this, sadly.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Scrappy is wise. Smonster, I hope things get better for you.
I'm not allowed to eat anything after midnight tonight for my surgery at 2pm tomorrow. So, I plan on eating all the things today.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy noshing, sj! May it provide the strength and morale you need to get through the surgery tomorrow and healing thereafter.
smonster, lots of supporting vibes for you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I can take the initiative to improve communication among my coworkers, or at least try. Again, not a whole lot of confidence that they will be interested or listen to me - I think I've been somewhat dismissed. They are all younger (25, 29, 30) and don't seem very self-aware.
What I know is: I need to be on time, stay focused, go as fast as I can, and improve the quality of my work. No problem, right?
Typical chaos: today we were to meet at boss' house at 8 am to go do a short task. Three of us get there only to find out that the key for this house is with our coworker, who is on another job over a half hour away. Boss went to get key, E went to get stuff from storage unit and then home, A went home, I came home to do some admin stuff. It's been two hours and we're waiting for the call from boss to go do this. Everything is ad hoc, chaotic, confused. Boss wasn't thinking things through enough to procure key this weekend.
eta thanks for the support and feedback, as always.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hey, that's my boss! I'm sorry things are so chaotic with your job, smonster. I hope you find a better fit ASAP.

And now work has been cancelled for today and likely tomorrow. So it's off to run errands and then work on stuff at home; tomorrow I hope to have cemetery work.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Many of my friends out here in (this year at least) crazy amounts of snow country swear by their Subarus.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
"Foods that Will Win the War and How to Cook Them"?No, I think it's "Everyday Food in Wartime". It opens with FOOD IS FUEL FOR FIGHTERS! DON'T WASTE IT! There's a lot about getting as many calories as possible while still saving food for soldiers.
I'm glad you weren't fired, smonster. And I hope that something different comes along soon, so you're not stuck in an uncomfortable and, from your description, chaotic situation for much longer.

And now work has been cancelled for today and likely tomorrow.
Because of weather?
