Happyyyyyyyy

So I have been having problems for years with a coworker who works the shift after mine.  The problem has always been that he is chronically late to work.  There is nothing more infuriating than having to stand somewhere for 8 hour daydreaming about going home and then waiting for the next person to come in...and waiting...and waiting...and it's almost midnight and you are tired and you are getting angrier by the minute.  And to have this happen day after day, month after month, year after year, and to have this person have no consequences for their actions...my anger, and not to mention the anger of my other coworkers who have to deal with this, has been building for what seems like an eternity.  He was always unapologetic, and not only that, but he was also just an awful, awful person.  He was the work snitch.  He would act like a manager even though he wasn't.  He would brown nose the general managers so hard it was disgusting.  He was just the biggest asshole I have ever known.  A few years ago I confronted him about it and wrote him this long nasty letter about how immature he was and how he needed to grow up and get here on time like the rest of us (among other things), and he improved for a while.  Lately he had been getting bad again and I have been daydreaming daily of my next move.  I had planned to do the unthinkable, actually talk to the general manager about how he was destroying team morale and causing everyone to be disgruntled and furious.  I was daydreaming about what I was going to say on the way to work today, imagining the exchange, feeling excited, nervous, and daring!
When I came in today, I found out that this morning he had QUIT!!!  This is a day that I have been waiting for and dreaming about for YEARS.  Thank God and good riddence! I seriously thought this day would never come.
