Fridays and Saturdays are the two days that I hate.

I have to work late and then be up early for the next day. So basically Fridays and Saturday is a wash up since there is really no time to do anything at all.

I seem to get the same shift all the time too. I’m probably going to leave early Saturday night, because I’m going to try and get some things done before the stores close.

*sigh* I am so burnt out. There’s no pattern and it’s really fucking me up. I’m so tired all the time.

I just wish I could just take off to a secret place where nobody could find me and just relax for about a week and take it easy with a nice cold beer.

But instead I have to go to work and deal with assholes all night long. This is so depressing…..

So I just want to make something very clear to everybody who might not know this, but…..

I just can’t seem to catch a break in my life.

Every single time I think that I have a great chance at getting a job that I would really enjoy doing and something that I’m actually certified to do, the door opens up a little bit and as soon as I start to walk through it, it slams in my face.

Yesterday, the fella I applied to yesterday for that Junior Web Developers job e-mailed me back to say, “Sorry. We filled it earlier this week.”

Nice for him to actually let me know right away instead of having me have my hopes up for nothing for a long waiting time.

He did say that he would keep my resume on file, but to me that usually means it will either get filed in the XT-Ras-Sh folder, or will end up buried in the pile of ‘forget about’.

If I just had those phone conversations earlier in the week about the clients e-mail problems, I would probably be writing something completely different right about now.

This is so GD Depressing right now. I really had my hopes up because I thought that I really had a good chance at scoring this job. I finally find something that I’m completely qualified to do and possibility could have helped out in their other departments, like their video, animation, and graphic design areas too.

I was at work when I got his e-mail. As you can imaging just how upset I was getting an e-mail like that, which basically translated to me as, “You are stuck in that dead end hell hole of a job that is sucking the life out of you. Sorry, Life sucks for you dude.”

This might sound harsh, but I really hope the person they hired bombs so bad that they regret they ever hired them and then re-consider me again. It would suck for the person they hired, but I think I had my fair share of riding on the shit river of rotten luck.

As you can imaging, the rest of my week, possibly longer, I will be in a crappy mood and feeling really bummed out. I should paint my face pale, with black lipstick and dark eyes, and black nails, while wearing black cloths and throw on a trench coat to fit in with the Emos. That’s the way I’m feeling at the moment. It so F’n depressing, it really is. You can’t imagine how important it was for me to get that job. It would have been life changing for me.

Well, I’m finished bringing everybody down, I guess I should get ready for work. *sigh* Yea, that thing that I really can’t stand going to.

She was home sick and was surfing Facebook on her iPhone while she was lying in bed and she was spotted by her employer, so they fired her.

The circumstances for the firing are really stupid in my opinion, (That you’re entitled to) because I’ve been home sick from work and I get up out of bed every once in awhile to go on the computer. It’s just to keep from getting bed sores.

The woman said she could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark but was then seen to be active on Facebook, which insurer Nationale Suisse said in a statement had destroyed its trust in the employee.
via Yahoo news.

To me this seems to be really sneaky of the employer. It sounds like this is a cheap excuse just to get rid of her.  Even if she was actually sitting at a desktop computer, it’s a big difference from working a full 8 hour shift and dealing with the usual work environment and dealing with people while sick, than being at home sick and poking into Facebook for about an hour or so while in the comfort of your home where you can go lay down when you need to.

All this Facebook vs. Work news I’ve been hearing about lately is crazy. Of course it’s a stupid idea to bad mouth co-workers or your work place on Facebook, because that’s just going to get you in shit. But to be fired for simply being on Facebook is ridiculous.

This is just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.

I hope you all are having a super Good Friday today.

While you are all enjoying your day off from work I still have to go in tonight. This is one of the things I hate most about working at the place I am now. The only Holiday we ever get off is in the Apocalypse. One of the biggest downsides of working in a Customer Service Department.

If either you’re going to over-indulge in partying or taking some time to go to church this long weekend, have a good time, but just remember to have one or two for me while thinking about me busting my balls at my hellhole of a job. I’ll be making my sacrifice too, I guess huh?

At least I’ll be off on Sunday and Monday to take part in the last part of the long weekend. That’s something to be thankful for huh? A little selfish do you think?

Well anyway, have a good time this long weekend, don’t drink and drive and all that safety stuff.

TTFN!

I’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….

This weeks schedule is so fucked up. It’s so erratic that it has me going in early, then late, then early, and so on.

Right now, I have to go in a bit early because the bus leaves at certain times and it just happens to be an hour early before my shift starts. 

I haven’t eaten anything yet except have my coffee, but that’s because I don’t have an appetite yet, but that will change once I’m at work and can’t buy anything to eat because I’m broke. (I don’t have anything for making a lunch from home either)

So I’ll be starving all evening till I get home at around 11pm.

I swear the schedule is made up by a bunch of monkeys flinging their shit at a wall filled with employees names and times. That’s the only thing that makes sense as to why they make a schedule so fucked up like it is.

My back pain is sorta gone. It is actually a hip pain now and it hurts when I move certain ways, so that will probably bug me all night too.

Have I ever mentioned that I Hate my Job?

Top O' The Morning To Ya'

Thought that this LOL’s Cats was just appropriate for this post since it is St. Patrick’s Day after all.

Today I went into work with just around 3 or 4 hours sleep, and I have to admit that the first part of the day was a bitch to try and get through. In the middle of the day I kind of got a second wind, but that was quickly taken away near the end of the day.

Wen I got home I grabbed a bite to eat and ended up passing out for about an hour. I really didn’t want to do that because it just makes me feel like shit for the rest of the night. So a nice cup of java took care of that groggy feeling for the night.

As I was writing this post, Top Hosting Center went down. Not a very good impression to make with this magical migration IMO. So far it’s been about 45 minutes and I’m still waiting for the damn site to come back up.

I’ve decided to finish writing this post in notepad so I don’t lose my line of thought, and my thoughts are really evil right now with the site being down again.

Yea, I’m pissed off. This so called move to a new server was supposed to be the ultimate solution to downtime problems. Well, the proof is yet to be produced.

What has it been, a week? And the site is crashing down already, and it’s not just this one. It’s all the sites I know that are on this server, ar at least the ones I KNOW are on this same server.

Not impressed at all.

Maybe they were into to much of the Green Beer. WHAT? Why am I making excuses? I’m not in a good mood right now.

EXCUSE: apparently, when we shutdown the web2, we had a conflict between the old and new one, our senior sysadmins are working on the issue, it should not be long , thank you for your patience, it is not a server that crashed

That was 20 mins ago…. then 30 minutes later there was an e-mail telling me what I already know…. Not impressed. But I have to give them credit for taking initiative and getting to it to fix the problem. This will be ‘X’ number one. The problem was fixed about an our or so later with the assurance it wouldn’t happen again. The proof is in the pudding I always say, well actually I don’t always say that , but it’s just a saying.

Anyway, back to work topics.

Today I watched two supervisors spend six hours playing kindergarten making some kind of table of names on 8 pieces of bright colored construction paper. A complete waste of time, seriously. Something that would have takes any teen about 45 minutes to an hour to do in elementary school.

Yet they want to cut back on hours of the real people working to cover expenses and save money, but they’ll pay these two boobs to fuck around all day.

Nothing ever makes any sense there.

Then there was the construction guys building the new bathrooms for the second week in a row, yea, two weeks. Mike Holmes could have done them in two days. But anyway, they had the outside doors open all morning and I nearly froze my balls off today.

I better not get sick from that or I’ll be so pissed off…. GA!!!!

I still hate my job!
