« August 2005 | Main | October 2005 » September 30, 2005Okay... I'm Seething NowYou know... I've dealt with a lot of bullshit since they decided to 're-organize' our department. My title was unofficially/officially changed to my boss's assistant, my duties are all up in the air and basically I am everyone's dumping ground for what they don't finish. Up until now I've sucked it up and not said a word. Then the new supervisor over the other area in our department said this:
Me: "WHAT!?!?! Okay, I'm going to have a talk with her. New Sup: No need. It's obvious your her assistant. You haven't done anything for me. You don't even do that much for her. What do you do... answer a couple of calls?"
[keywords: Work coworkers] September 27, 2005Fucking WhinerAparently one of my coworkers complained to my boss about me. She felt I was talking to her in a supervisory way when in fact I am not her supervisor. No shit, Sherlock. I guess telling her that the MANDITORY fields she is NOT filling out is considered talking to her in a supervisory way. The kicker is that my boss told her: When she talks to you, it's like I'm talking to you. I wonder if saying, "You're fired, bitch!" will work.
[keywords: Work gossip coworkers complaint] September 26, 2005This Shit is Bananas...Cell phone ringtones are funny until you're at work and it's really quiet. All of the sudden Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl starts going off when Bane text messages me. I dove for the phone as "This shit is bananas" blared out of my phone. I looked up at my supervisor who slowly shook her head and turned back to her monitor. I just know I'm going to moved again... into the closet.
[keywords: Cellphone ringtones] September 24, 2005Fuck That ShitI checked out that position and made a decision: Oh hell no! Not only would I be 'assistant' to 4 pissy women (and 1 who is my friend) I would also be an assistant to the doctor over them... who has a reputation of being just as pissy. My boss 'mentioned' that it wouldn't be a job I'd like (for the same reasons) and that I wouldn't get a raise because I'm at the top of my pay scale. I told her that I talked to :jake: about it and decided that it wasn't something I wanted. Being closer to home would have been a plus, but I like my job and don't want to change it now. Later on she was complimenting me for finishing up a big report and I said that she'll miss me when I'm gone. She said, "You're not going anywhere. I'm moving a bed in and your staying in here. I'll give you a the worst recommendation. 'You don't want to hire her. She's horrible'." I feel so loved... I think.
[keywords: boss job-search] September 22, 2005Tempting....My boss asked me to fax something to this lady who used to work in the same department as us. She begrudgingly told me that it was info for the position in her department. At my old job site. NOT as a slave. I am now trying to decide whether or not I should apply for it. I like the people that I work with, but my job duties are getting larger with no chance of a pay raise. Decisions, decisions...
[keywords: boss job-search] September 21, 2005I'm Gonna Be PissyI'm falling into some sort of rut where I can't seem to think of new and interesting threads for people to discuss. This is also the same time as people are deciding to post all of the email jokes and pictures they've got laying around. Now the board is filled with LOL threads and I can't seem to think of anything to balance it out. It's times like these I wonder why I keep doing it day after day. *sigh* Okay, I'm done bitching...
[keywords: nct whining rut] September 19, 2005Do I Get a Lollipop?I am FINALLY getting my tooth fixed today. I've been wearing a temporary tooth for over a month and it's definately nearing the end of it's usage. Being so far away from my dentist sucks. I used to be able to walk across the street from my old job location. Now I have to take a day off. Well... I don't HAVE to. But it's a great excuse. Otherwise I have to leave early and pray that I gave myself enough time to get there. 45 minutes to drive 13 miles sucks monkey balls.
[keywords: Health tooth dentist] September 16, 2005Fucking SpammersYou know you have run across the lowest life-form when someone actually clicks on comments to spam. I love the latest "I know this is off topic but, I WANT TO WHORE A SITE". Don't bother looking for any, I get notifications and click on my handy dandy delete/block function. Say bye-bye... I just don't get it. Why anyone spams sites for gambling and drug ads is beyond me. I wish they'd get the technology to track the IPs and ban the users for harassment. Then again, the Do Not Call list isn't worth shit either...
[keywords: website spam] September 15, 2005I Don't Wanna Go!I managed to go 3 days without being called into Jury Duty. Last night I forgot to call and woke up at 2am in a panick. Sure enough... They called my group number in. Now I have to go in and sit all day to see if they call me on a trial. Guilty!!!!!
[keywords: Society Jury-Duty] September 13, 2005Pets Count TooThe littlest victims are often overlooked. Animals that people took into their home as a part of their family are now without homes. I can't imagine losing one of my pets. Hopefully people will see their pets and be reunited. With all the death and destruction, this might be something positive to look forward to. Please check out Rescue for Ruffugees if you have a chance. They're trying to help the animals left behind after the hurricaine by finding them a place to stay. It's very cool.
[keywords: Weather animals links hurricaine natural-disaster] September 12, 2005Klutz...I think I broke my toe. I was so busy yapping away as I walked to my car that I didn't see the cement barrier and tripped over it. I didn't fall but I smacked the hell out of my foot on it. Now my toe is swollen, hurting like a mother fucker and purple underneath the whole nail. At least I dont have to go to jury duty tomorrow. I'd rather spend my day whining at work. :p
[keywords: Health toe] September 11, 2005The Pain Fades, The Memory is StrongIt's amazing how time heals wounds. The first anniversary of 9/11 was horrible. I cried the whole day. This year, I feel a great sadness and so far no tears. It's the memories and the effects that crush me. I am a different person because of it. In some ways, a better one. The American bubble was burst and the world flowed in. We are not indestructible. The saddest part is the people who refuse to accept the world around us are the ones causing the greatest damage. I never realized the hatred for Americans that has been brewing for so long until 911. The hardest part is view how others view you... and see similarities. I have tried to change some of my ways, but it's been a hard road to walk down. All around me are people blinded by the word 'patriot' and refuse to evolve globally. I think my boyfriend pretty much summed up my feelings for the day: I can't believe that they're having that bullshit "America Supports You Freedom Walk". If there's any worse way to make a mockery of a tragic event, I haven't seen it. It's like having a barbecue to commemorate the Holocaust - you just don't even fucking do it. Remember with love. Remember with respect. Shalom
[keywords: Society 9/11 memorial] September 08, 2005Double BlahToday was just such a horrible day. I am so glad that it's over with. I am going to crawl into bed and just pray tomorrow is over by the time I wake up.
[keywords: Life stress] September 07, 2005Hell No I Won't GoI dont wanna move! My boss just told me that the new supervisor is taking over my spot and I have to move to outside of her office. I am so not pleased. It's not the sitting outside her office part that bugs me, it's the sitting outside her office WITH NO ONE AROUND that I hate. At least when I want to talk I had my friend on the one side of me and the three ladies from the other department on the other side. Now I have to go over to even say hi... and of course I can't talk shit about my boss because she's right behind me. :p
[keywords: Work boss cubicle moving] September 06, 2005Trade YaI'm really getting tired of my job. It's just not the same anymore. The atmosphere is different and the work load sucks monkey balls. I will be at UCLA 19 years this October. It's so draining to even think of being here longer than that. I don't know what I want to do, where I want to go or how the hell I even start. *sigh* Don't mind me... I'm in a life-hater mood right now.
[keywords: Work stress atmosphere] September 05, 2005That Was FastMy weekend flew by. I can basically sum it up by saying I slept in, played on the computer and then slept more. G-d I'm boring...
[keywords: Life weekend] September 04, 2005All Together Now: I Told You SoEverybody needs a break from the political and current events arena. My boyfriend is no exception. Today he got frustrated from all the crap people were spewing and deleted his mini blog account. Gone. Bye bye. Blank page. Then he told me what he did. I understand the temptation to just wipe the slate clean and walk away, but I always take a step back to think about something that final and usually find a happy medium that saves a lot of heart ache and searching for backup databases.
[keywords: Life Politics boyfriend blogging] September 03, 2005Happy Birfday Bane!Thirty years ago today a pasty white child was born into this world. As I look at the latest pictures of him I notice not much as changed. Bald and white as ever. :D :bane: has been my best friend and savior too many times to count and I trust him with everything. I hope you have a great day, :bane:... and I will kill UPS if my present doesnt arrive there on Tuesday. *hugs*
[keywords: Bane birthday] September 02, 2005Oh Hell Yeah!The clock hits 4:59PM and I grab my purse, go down the two elevators, get my car keys, drive towards home, call Jake, meet him halfway, go on our dinner date, drop by fish store and buy 4 new fish, stop by 7/11 for alcohol, pull into parking garage, set alarm, open door, throw off clothes and turn on computer. Let the long weekend begin!
[keywords: Life Fish date weekend] September 01, 2005But... But.... You USED To Be So CoolI have a feeling it's time to start looking for another hosting company for my dedicated server. I pay $209 a month for a server that's over 3 years old and they just hit me with a $150 charge for restoring my databases 2 times when I fucked up. When I first searched for a good hosting company I looked at numerous consumer review sites to see how the ratings were. I must have gone through at least 50 to get a feel for who was really bad and if anyone was good. Ventures Online stood out as a great choice. I moved to them and was so happy. The support was great, the prices were low and everyone I spoke with was personable. They even offered to pay lower prices as my server got older. Then it happened... They merged with another company, Data393. It hasn't been the same since. I used to get responses as fast as 30 seconds later. Now it can take hours. When I left messages I NEVER got a return call. Bottom line: I don't think this is the company for me... but now I have to do the searching all over again. *sigh* Anybody have some suggestions?
