My co-worker is a selfish bastard

[VelmaD]

Because of the "Reagan holiday" most of the people in my office are out today. (It's a "skeleton" holiday where we just have to have someone here to catch the phones.)

Anyway, it's just me and him in here most of the day today. He knows that and he still doesn't bother to tell me when he's leaving the office or where he's going or how long he's going to be gone. And he has his headphones on right now so that he can't even hear the phone if it rings. Honestly, I wish he hadn't even bothered to come in. It would be easier and less stressful to just be here by myself and KNOW that I didn't have any backup rather than having crappy half-assed backup.

Can I hit him on the head with a shovel? Please?
