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.

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.
Many of my friends out here in (this year at least) crazy amounts of snow country swear by their Subarus.
"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.
hey Teppy--my DH has decided he wants this guitar: [link] and i think it might be relevant to your interests.
Smonster, it's nice that your boss sets such a great example to follow (yes, there is snark in that sentence). Be at work at x Hour. Oh wait, I don't have the keys. Oh, never mind, go home.
ION- You know you are a nerd, when you squee upon learning, your job has free subscription to Oxford English Dictionary website! But only when on the university network. Can't do it from home.
Because of weather?
No, because of not having work for us. We have a bunch of bids out and a couple accepted; there's at least one homeowner who doesn't want to start until After Mardi Gras.
