STFU About The Long Weekend!
Thursday, April 9, 2009 12:03 | 429 viewsI’m getting sick of people telling me to enjoy my long weekend or saying to have a nice long weekend.
Why? Because I have to fucking work the long weekend that’s why. I don’t get holidays off, that’s why, I have a shitty job, that’s why, I hate my job, THAT’S WHY!
I don’t have to be reminded every damn time everybody says, “Have a nice long weekend!”
Sometime I feel like just saying, “Fuck off!” But I know a lot of people don’t know I work a crappy job, so I just bite my tongue. Even if blood comes gushing out between my lips. So I will vent a little here. Why? Because I can!
This is yet another reason that I hate this fucking job. When it comes to weekends or holidays, I will never see the light of day when it comes to them. I’ll never get to enjoy any long weekends off like most people do who have regular jobs. Like the one I used to have, but got let go from because I didn’t have a vagina and a Bible phrase being spouted from my mouth every hour.
I am still longing for another job like that, which is why my eyes are focused on the Job Bank every day before work.
And speaking of work. A lot of people who work on post-paid accounts will be having their hours slashed down to next to nothing next week. Rumor has it that Pre-Paid account agents will be getting the same, but I haven’t seen the notice yet.
If it wasn’t so GD hard to fine a new job I would just say lay me off and collect Employment Insurance instead.
The whole hours thing is going to be based on your performance, so that means the worst you do the worst your hours will be. If you’re in the top 100 your guaranteed full time hours. Makes sense really. Do your job and you’ll be OK.
But the flaw there is that there are a lot of people doing a great job there but just fall under the 100 point mark because some fucktard customer dragged a call out for an hour when we need to keep the calls under 8 minutes because the customer cant understand that 50 cents from a dollar leaves 50 cents. And since we can’t hang up on customers, we have to go in loops trying to make the customer understand this simple math problem. And then the agent gets bad marks and looses points.
Crappy system, I know. Everything about this job is crappy actually, which is why….
MY JOB

@MrCorey – OH, don’t worry. It’s one of those things you get when you work a normal job.
If you ever get a taste of one, you’ll always miss it when it’s taken away.
Days off you get paid for too.

I immediately ran back to the email I last sent you just to make sure I didn’t wish you a happy long weekend. Whew, I didn’t. Why then haven’t you responded? You had me feeling guilty for no reason

@skye – I didn’t get an e-mail… Maybe it went to the spam vault.

It was in reply to your facebook request. I have a different email address for that. Not that I use it all that much. I think I’ve finally turned old enough that I am like my parents’ generation when computers first came out

@skye – OH, OK. Then yea. I deleted it.
I accidentally clicked on something in Facebook that I didn’t want to and sent that invitation to EVERYBODY on my address book.
After the first 30 replies, I just deleted them without opening them.
Don’t worry about it. If you want to add me just follow the facebook link in the top left of this site.
