~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. trolls are like pigeons..keep feeding them and they keep coming back and shitting in your street. |

I'll say it again. Fuck you, HR. I haven't seen you manage human resources since I've been here. You're not interested in educating me. You're interested in the tax break. If you don't pay for my tuition, my two year indentured servitude is null and void. Expect me to start looking after the wedding in August.

Something I pretty much hate:
Boss is asked to do something, e.g. provide information. Boss writes me an e-mail, saying "Could you give X the following information?", followed by an e-mail that the boss could just have sent pack to the person who needs the information in the first place. For the boss, it would involve the same amount of work: write mail, send it to one person. Instead, the boss chooses to add to someone's workload by asking them to pass the note. It's childish, it's inefficient, and no, it doesn't make you look like you're in charge, Boss - it makes you look like a feeble twit who needs to remind him- or herself, "Hey, I'm in charge!" |

GAH THIS PLACE
ok, so. the contract i'm on is dying. like completely. and we all know it. but no one is saying it, at least no one who would know for sure. so they're moving 11 agents from our floor of 25 agents to a different contract. so i'm going too. i don't wanna, because this contract is 5am-5pm, Monday to Friday and the contract we're moving to is 24-hour, 7 days a week. pretty much guaranteed no graveyard shifts though, the people who have them now want them. O.O still. GAHHHHHHH. ____________________________ Future First Lady of Cyberspace Green Robot World the Canadian half of Minobot! |

I am so FUCKING done.
I'm done trying to be helpful- no one listens and no one seems to care. So fuck 'em. I'm just going to let them fall on their faces and I'll try to refrain from laughing and saying "I told you so". But guess what: if you don't listen to me when I'm trying to PREVENT the problem, I'm NOT helping you fix it!! Fuckers. (This is about my coworkers, btw, not my sutdents) |

god damn son of a motherless goat... they changed the schedule around on me. I'm 4 hours late because I didn't realize I'm suppose to be here at 6am in the fucking morning instead of my regular 10.

So... you're supposed to be telepathically linked to your schedule? How would you possibly know it changed if no one told you?

sooooo...Bosslady probably won't be in today.
-why? you ask. an excellent question, m'dears. I shall tell you. Bosslady probably won't be in today because she broke her toe last night. -but how, you query, did Bosslady break her toe? another excellent question! you are really shining today, aren't you? well, Bosslady probably won't be in today because she broke her toe last night while cavorting drunkenly about her pool.

My friend broke her toe doing YOGA!

the real kicker? I found out when I was leaving work yesterday (from Bosslady's BFF who pushed her into the pool thereby injuring her—while drunk, of course) that the toe in question isn't even broken. she apparently had to get fitted for some sort of boot, but whatever she's got on looks like athletic tape. she's wearing normal shoes—although not her normal ridiculous heels (the woman channels Mariah Carey, I swear)—and barely walking with a limp.
oh, she came in early today to make up for lost money. hasn't done much by way of work, though. ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

good for your students! in retrospect, comparing her to a teenager was a bit hard on teenagers.
