@mietze Oh no! I wasn't trying to put anything on you.
My thing was just.. Dad's in the hospital. Mom's super sick. What happens if he gets super sick, or hurt, or... Who's going to help him?
ETA: I think the whole being expected to take care of myself/others at stupidly young age (5, for myself AND an 18 month old baby), is probably part of my 'But but..." here.
@aria This is actually why I've just applied to jobs I would /never/ feel comfortable apping for before.
I want to be able to take him to the vet if he so much gets a sniffle.
@tinuviel This makes me sad. Sure, he was fun to watch in SATC when my sisters made me watch it, but I LOVED him as Mozzie in Blue Collar. That character was amazing.
@kestrel So that song led me to another of their songs.. and I may fall into a hole.
@kk I am so, so incredibly jealous. Roasted tomato pesto, tomato sauce, tomato sammiches, sliced tomatoes with salt (and mayo if that's your thing), the little bitties for snacking on when you go in the kitchen so you don't eat junk...
I may happen to love tomatoes. A lot.
@cobalt Completely off the topic of the framed kitties.. I want your plague doctor.
@ganymede Yeah, I had a boss that constantly made me move my chair so she could walk up behind me and look over my head at my work. I explained to her that having my back exposed like that was bad, and if someone came up behind me too fast, it could trigger my PTSD, because of repeated childhood abuse, where I was doing homework at the table, and... well, you get the idea.
@silverfox For the first time in the almost 10 years my boss' boss has been here, they're offering overtime to review all those stupid effing cases. That's how shorthanded they are.
Assholes need to pay better.
@solstice Hence the trying to interview. I'm dying to tell them to suck my big fat spirit dick.
@ganymede I don't go for RR, but I know it's easy 35+ bucks for the roommate and I to order Thai.
@faraday Oh no, I always disclose on the check box thing that I have a disability. If they ask before I'm hired, I tell them I'm a diabetic. I am, and it's part of the ADA. They don't think it's a big thing.
I tell them AFTER about the other ones.
@cobalt I worked for Papa John's and Domino's. DEF. Agree. Papa John's was shady about the way they handled payroll. Dom's paid better, as a whole.
One didn't allow the 5'4" female delivery driver to carry pepper spray on her keychain until she was attacked. The other one never even batted an eye.
@Ganymede - Is there someone I could appeal to, on that? I know you're not an expert (Unless you are, no offense meant) But I'm not sure who I would talk to about being reimbursed for shit. I'm so over all this BS.
@Cobalt Well, I'm WFH, and the HQ is 4 hours away soooo let's not on the arson 
But I did just get told that I am getting training on Thursday to do more of this bullshit project they've got me reviewing cases for. Because they can't keep people. And I have no idea how they think they're going to train me, when I've got so much work - even my boss is crying he has to help with ONE of the projects I'm dealing with. At least he was trained on it first. jackass.
Of course, I've been messaging back and forth all afternoon with a guy who wants to sell a sort of soap I can make. Man doesn't understand a thing about soap-making, though, so I am having to explain a LOT of things. Patience is a virtue I am trying to manifest so hard right now.
@derp He hasn't gotten like that, yet. But now he's stopped responding soooo I might be SOL any way you look at it.
@carma Constantly. All the time. And if something is said to me? There is a song, somewhere, that has some of those words in the lyrics, and the song changes. My poor roommate is coming to realize my coin purse that says "80% of my brain is song lyrics" is NOT a joke.
I have the D&D Bard shirt. "Because everything is better with an awesome soundtrack" ...you just can't always hear mine.
So, the rescheduled interview from almost 2 weeks ago, was for today. But somehow, it was for a completely DIFFERENT position. In Las Vegas. In Office. .... HAHHAHAHAHAHA NO.
I explained to the woman what happened, how I didn't get called on the 14th when I should have been, and that I'd been sent an email to schedule a new interview time.
She has no record of my previous application and following Assessment tests, and all this other bullshit.
I know I said I would give them a second chance, but... wtf.
@derp It's really just me staring at the email, going "...the FUCK?" And laughing.
So want job I interviewed for yesterday.
So last week, I was getting 'trained' on a new project. A project I was doing all that review for, without training. A project/department I've been asking for training on for a YEAR now, back before they got swamped. I wanted to be able to take the time to learn it. Last week, there were internet issues here at the house (got those fixed), issues with the work software (Which never get fixed, and you just have to try and slap it around to make it work), Issues with the softphone (Software phone, the thing they sent me a shitty headset to use, because using it is mandatory), and I called out sick after Lunch Friday (After which I passed out for 4 hours, and just.. yeah. I needed the rest). I did not get to hear one complete call for this project (I could not listen in, or no one answered, when I could listen in). The people training me have been being rushed and pressured. My own boss says the project can be complex, especially to start. I told him I wasn't ready on Friday, to start Monday, and that was before I got sick and missed 2.5 more hours of 'training' (Aka, watching someone else do it, and they're not necessarily telling me what they are doing, because they are so used to it.)
I clock in/log in this morning to the message waiting for me. "Hey, welcome to the RL team! Please claim 4 tasks (cases) to complete this morning, let me know when you're done. Thank you." - from a woman I've never said two words to before. I straight posted in the chat, with this supervisor, my supervisor, and HIS boss "I'm not ready. These things happened last week, and I never heard so much as one whole phone call." My boss "We'll see if Lisa can claim some tasks this morning and you can shadow her." Great. And if no one answers the phone again, like the last 2 times I was 'training' with her? I so hope this job comes through from last Wednesday. I'm starting to hate to log in.
ETA: Boss' boss just was like "Lisa will have to claim Macha's 4 RL and work them with her before lunch, because Heather (who I don't know from Adam) will be assigning more after lunch." Bitch, you really think 4 cases is enough to teach me this whole project? Really? Because running a fever and sleeping a shit ton this weekend has not helped my memory.
