Some thing is wrong with my spam filters for my email. Back when I first set up my email accounts in my cPanel, I rarely received spam. For some reason, they decided to stop working not long after that. Now I receive about 80 junk emails from the time I go to bed until I wake up, and there are for all kinds of things…medications, making money online, drinks, mens wedding bands…The list goes on and on! If just one of those emails could be useful to me, I may change my mind about hating spam. However, I need none of the wonder drugs. I already make money online. I don’t want to try any of the power drinks. James and I are already married so I don’t need to do any shopping for mens wedding bands.
Okay, the two previous posts were sponsored postings for Blogvertise.com, and for some reason, I am not getting paid for them. I keep getting emails saying they were rejected...WTF? I have the correct amount of links, the correct blog length, and the links work...I don't know what else to do. I think I will stop working for them...since they are becoming difficult!
I will be extremely glad when I can work out your door for the last time!! I am tired of all the overtime, and of all the stress you pile on me day after day. Why can't you to just hire a few more people?!?! Every time you 1, two more move to another department. We are drowning in work, and can't stay afloat with the people we have!
To the Supervisor:
You want to reiterate time and time again that we have open lines of communication in our workplace, but when we try to vocalize a problem, you cut us off and shut us down!! No wonder why no one talks in our team meetings! You don't understand, because you came from another department to supervise this one. You never sat in the chairs we sit in, typing your fingers to the bone. At least, not with kind of work we have! When someone does step up to say something, your response is, "well all the work has to be done, regardless...." Yeah, that's going to solve the problem alright...
I tried to talk about the problems my group is facing, and you were like, "well you get all kinds of help from others..." Well that's all well and good, but we can't manage the work even with the helpers! And what about the people working regular orders, who are running out the door the second their shift is over. I wish we had the chance to leave on time....especially when I get there at 7am (or earlier), take a 30 minute lunch, and still have to work until 5pm or later. What happened to "everyone stays until ALL orders are complete?"
No love,
Your irritated employee
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving today! James and I went to a dinner on my mom's side of the family, then to a dinner on my stepdad's family. I only had a bit of dessert at the second house, since I had a full plate at the first one! I was so tired today, though...I think it was the turkey.
When we got home this afternoon, my mom and sister came over. James and I started to put our new Christmas tree up. We got it up, and put together, but ran out of lights....We totally miscalculated how many we would need. So we had to stop, until we pick up a couple more boxes of lights at Wal-Mart, which will hopefully be tomorrow or this weekend. I can't wait to get it and our house completely decorated!!
I also wish I could go shopping in the morning with my mom & sister, but I have to work...stupid job...
Our department has been down-sized across the company, to the extent at which there will only be one location, where there were previously two. They have also down-sized the call centers, doing away with the one in my city. Luckily, my dept is staying here. There will be about 20 new people joining us in the next couple of months. All of these people are coming from inside the company, and many are being promoted from customer service. We were given a new list of names today at work, of the newest team members who will be starting training next week. The 8 or 9 currently in training will be joining us next week, and we are all being shifted around to make room for them. I am getting moved to a desk in a different room, with cubicles so tall, I can't see the person sitting on either side. I am going to get lonely...
I just found out that my hosts for IamKecia.com & What I Think... are going to shut down their business. This really saddens me, and even kinda frustrates me, because I just switched to them in August. They are still honoring everyone's contracts, so I will be covered to next August. They are going to be more all the accounts over to a reseller, so I am worried that they will just dump us on them and run. I don't know what the customer service and support will be like, if they do that. There will be some downtime, because of the transfer, but they didn't mention for how long....Now, I have to begin the search for a new host...I was working on new layout and some updates for IamKecia, but hearing this just made me not want to work on it...
<sarcasm> I just love my job...I really do! I love getting screwed over every time I turn around. I especially love the extra long hours they are mandating/begging us for!! </sarcasm>
Some things happened today at my work, that don't leave me too happy. They announced today that they will be eliminating departments as soon as possible. In my department (which is located here and at another location in Georgia), my location will become the only location, meaning the 17 people who just started in January at the other location will soon be out of a job. Wait...it gets better....The customer service department, which is composed of the 2 floors above our basement office setting will be eliminated as well. Everyone is promised a job, but we will just see how far that goes. The other dept that does what I do will be given the opportunity to relocate to my town, or stay where they are and work for another department. The 2 floors above me get to start applying for similar jobs, but I just don't think there will be enough to go around. I am not totally sure, but I think there are probably close to 100 people, just in my town, affected by this, not counting the 17 I mentioned earlier. They will (hopefully) expand our dept, since we can't take on everything the former location was doing. The next few months are going to be soooo hectic, with losing those people, and gaining new ones, which have to be trained first...We are already on 9 hour days...better get ready to go for ten!
Coincidently, I have came across two blogs tonight talking about homosexuality. One was about other person's comments of how a homosexual isn't competent to work in the mental health field because him/her "needs help" themselves. The other was about how young people use the term "gay" when discussing something they think is pointless or stupid. Here's my two cents on it all.
I feel (as I think many people also do) that being homosexual means nothing about your job performance. Gay people go to college, graduate, land a job, and work just like bisexuals and heterosexuals...I don't understand why someone would say that a homosexual person is "too sick him/herself" to help others. That's just downright close-minded, and a bit silly, in my opinion. But, you know what opinions are like...
I also think using the word "gay" as an adjective for something that someone sees as stupid is ridiculous. Since when did that term come to mean that?? The English language has the most unusual slang...it's tiring just trying to keep up with it. I personally will never use that word in that context, and will not think too highly of someone else's statement that uses that word in that sort of way.
This wedding stuff is driving me insane!!!!!! If we have our ceremony when WE want to have it, we will make people mad, or some people will not show up. If we have it when THEY want us to, then it won't truly be our ceremony, since it was planned around everyone else's wishes, and not our own.... I don't know what in the world to do anymore. It would be so much easier for James and I to get married while we are on vacation. Sometimes I think that's really what I want to do...but we had rather have a ceremony, so we'd end up regretting that later. I just want to have a nice ceremony...and I'm getting to the point where I just want to tell everyone "hope you see you there...if not, that's fine too!"
