Time to Get The Resume’s Updated Me Thinks!

Tuesday Oct 7, 2008

Have you ever felt that no matter how much or how hard you try at something, but keep getting your feet swept from under you all the time, that you start to feel as useless as a sack of hammers?

The other week, I was in a meeting, and I was informed that I wasn’t completing certain tasks in a specified amount of time. Both things that I was totally oblivious to and was unaware of because for the past five months, I thought everything was hunky dory and fine. In other words nobody was informing me, or basically doing THEIR job in letting me know what I was doing wrong. (For Five Months!)

Well, the past week, I’ve been doing what I was asked to improve. Things should be alright again right?

Well, apparently after the Manager went to another meeting this morning,  they’re telling me now that I need to buy a car. (Ain’t going to happen)

I was hired not owning one and they knew it. I don’t believe that the Employment Standards Act would support any decision to let me go on such grounds, but anyway, I’m still thinking about getting some resumes ready because I’m getting the feeling that I’m being targeted by certain co-workers and that no matter what I do during the next 200 hours of probation, it is and will always be, not good enough.

I really like the job, and really hope that my luck turns for the better and I make it through the Probation period. This is the only Job that I have had in many, MANY years that I truly enjoy. But it’s the sad fact that since certain people are safe with their unionized position, that I’m the one who has to suffer, and it’s really not fair. I won’t be safe until or if I pass my probational period.

Unfortunately, the sad truth will probably result in me being let go. I really feel that this will be a unfair fact of the matter, and since I still owe EI (Another embarrassing story) I more than likely will not be entitled to any EI benefits.

Holy fuck I’m am gonna be sooooo screwed!

Depressing…

Rainy Day

Thursday Oct 2, 2008

I got up this morning and heard the rain pouring outside the window. When I looked outside, it was just coming down like cats and dogs. “Shit!”, I said. I have to walk to work in that. So I did.

It was still dark on my way in, so I believe that I managed to step in every single puddle along the way.

Aside from having to try and put up with a Snitch Bitch at work and try to ignore her phoniness, it was an alright day. BUSY as hell though. Which I rather enjoyed for a change. It makes for a productive day and the times seems to fly by quick. At least it’s not so boring when it’s busy too.

It rained heavy the entire day, which brought on a heavy rainfall warning from Environment Canada, and when it came time to head back home, it was still pouring out.

My Apartment Walkway

And to complete the day of pissing me off. It stopped raining 10 minutes after I got in the door. Yup, somebody hates me.

So here’s mine:

This is my flip off to that damn Migraine that set me back a days pay when I had to stay home in bed last Monday. That F’n thing felt like my head was splitting open that day!

This Is What an Actual Splitting Migraine Headache Looks Like!

Teeni is giving it another shot with her Mortgage people being so, NOT, helpful. I personally would have placed a picture of a house in there and gave the flip off to that to signify flipping off the mortgage. Oh well, any submission is a good submission here. Just as long as she got it off her chest. That’s what counts. :D

This is a double for my mortgage company again for being so helpful when I called them. Useless arsewipes. Please note, I did do my nails just for this!

DragonLady is all for support, but when being Volin-TOLD for something that’s not scheduled… Watch out for them dragon breaths of flames!

This is me flipping the bird to the fundraising crap the school wants me to do (which I am not doing).

MrCorey is having his furry little friend do his dirty work.

Well? What're you lookin' at? Huh?

Migraines - Baaaaaaaaaaad!

Monday Sep 15, 2008
Yesterday morning I woke up to a massive Migraine headache, it didn’t seem to want to go away till after suppertime.

It hurt like hell too. the worst head ache I have ever had, at least until this morning.

Around 2am I woke up with pain shooting down the back of my head down my neck, and my temples felt like they were in a vice. No matter how much cradling in my arms I did or packing the pillows around my head I did, it was futile.

I would drift in and out of sleep because I was awaken by the pain and then fall asleep from exhaustion and wake up again, and so on. A vicious cycle went on until it was time to get up for work.

There was no way I could go in to work in this condition. I even had to turn off my computer because the fan, although not a loud one, was actually too loud. The windows were blacked out because it was still dark outside, thankfully. But that was short lived later in the day, so I wrapped myself in blankets and pillows.

If that wasn’t enough, the grounds people decided it was a good time to mow the lawn. Mow by my window OVER AND OVER AND OVER again! Either they knew I was in major pain from the migraine, or the blade on that mower was so dull, they had to make multiple passes.

So here it is now just after 4pm, the headache is finally gone, I lost a days pay and now I’m in a pissy mood for it.

Must be the weather huh?

How was your day?

So here’s mine:

This is my flip off to the web site hack that happened last weekend. It’s a reflection of me freaking out at the site hack. I should have actually taken a screen shot when it happened. But I actually like mine better. :p

MacBros - F**k You Hacker! Leave Me Alone!

The Other Mac had a rough week fending off Scamp’s begging eyes. Looks like they both just gave in. F**k You work week!

Other Mac Says, "Rough Week!"

teeni says, “My first FNFO! Maybe you’ll get to see more of me in the future! Bonus - TGH is in the background on the couch. See? LOL”

teeni's first FNFO - my mortgage company for having an employee who stole our information!
