@sunny There may have a squee from my roommate who brought the box in. There may have been happy shouts and some dancing around the living room.
My roommate has been amazing through the hell of the last two plus months. She has cheered me on getting a new job, and she sent me links to anything she could find I might be remotely qualified for.
...there may be booze-a-holing tonight.
So, on a day when my current job is sucking eggs...
I have started receiving equipment from the job due to start next week. I didn't get a confirmation email, but I think sending me an expensive monitor might supersede that.
So, I spoke to Med accommodations team. Oh no no no. HR is to order me a headset. They told me where to find the case and the link that was sent to HR.
I copied and pasted that shit into an email. Fuck around and find out. I'll get it in writing.
This is gaslighting, isn't it. Telling me lies until I'm not sure?
@kanye-qwest Some sort of state mandate. They need to make sure I'm not on cocaine or something?
Today at 3pm, I should be getting a call about my tox screen back.. and!!
FINALLY BE PUT ON SOMETHING for my ADHD.
PLEASE GODS.
@ganymede thanks. I didn't think you'd do that when I'm clearly not 'okay', but.. again with the second guessing everything right now.
I just sent HR an email asking about the headset and accommodation, etc. That's how I found out my boss himself bought the ethernet cable for me.
But I sent that email to HR, and he sent the reply to me, my boss, and Boss' boss. I am not pleased with that bullshit. If I reach out to HR, I feel it should be kept between me and HR.
ETA:I am now on hold for the Medical Accommodations and Leave team.
I am getting clarification.
Now they are insisting that the work headset I was approved for, is now 'use your own headset' No. That is NOT what the medical Accommodations team told me. I refuse to use my own personal gear for this job anymore, within reason.
They're also refusing to purchase/reimburse me for the ethernet cord they insist I need for Amazon Workspaces to work correctly (I have consulted with several outside IT people, one whom handles AWS for their company, and all of them call bullshit). This is not something I would need outside of work, so I refuse to pay for it.
Yeah...
ETA: My immediate boss went out and bought the ethernet cord and clips for me, out of his own money. It's shit like this that gets to me. He'll be a dick when under pressure from his boss, but then he goes and does stuff like this.
@alamias I don't /think/ Gany is messing with me, but right now work is lying to me up and down, to the point I am second guessing everything.
...fuck. Gaslighting. I wanted to think better of them. I need to stop doing that.
@ganymede Dude, I can't tell if you're fucking with me, or not.
I did point out that this expectation of minute by minute tracking of my work stuff happened only after I pushed back on the call taking that was messing with my anxiety (and therefore my sugars).
So now, they're insisting that I have 'hours' of time unaccounted for. I wish I had hours where I got to do something else.
They expect me to be able to tell them exactly what I was doing at an exact point of time in the day, a week or more ago.
They're trying to tell me they recommended I get an accommodation for my ADHD January of this year. Uhh no, they didn't. They thought I didn't know ADHD is protected by the ADA, and the moment I mentioned that, they got quiet.
I am so sick of being told they did all these things for me, when they didn't do anything.
Paycheck problems, part deux:
This morning - B = Boss, BB =Boss' boss.
B - Hey, you still need to edit your timesheet. There are 'significant' chunks of time when I can't see you doing anything.
BB - Timesheets need to be approved by 10am!
Me: I fixed it on Friday. What you may not be able to see me doing, is asking people for help with something I don't know, or if there's something I'm second guessing myself on. There is no way to timestamp phone calls I make on my cell phone.
Then, promptly - My Amazon Workspaces crapped out. This has been a constant problem, they blame my wifi. I told them if they were insisting that I use an ethernet cord for my own personal laptop, they had to buy me one. They sent it to Boss. Boss has never brought it to me a month later. I have received NO stipends for anything - internet, ethernet, any of it. And by NY law, as a non-exempt employee - I should have been. And when my old laptop became impossible to work on? They should have been helping me with that, too.
I am livid. I need contract for new job in hand.
Oh hey, you have a migraine and had to call out? Let me call you and text you so I can whine that I feel like you had gaps in your productivity and I want to take bites out of your paycheck for it. - My boss.
I specifically looked for jobs that were permanently work from home. Between my auto immunes, the dog, and other things, I prefer working from home. I'm still going out and being social (albeit on a limited pandemic basis), so I'm not too worried.
So I was discussing with my boss, and I brought up that if I was to send in my 2 weeks notice, who should I include.
"Do you have another job lined up?" Blah blah blah, I care about you, blah blah blah.
Dude, stfu.
@alamias I need you to tell me it's okay to hand in my 2 week notices right now lol
They're up my ass, wanting me to give a detailed accounting of every minute. I also have to acknowledge/like every message they send me, now.
... it's like they don't realize that in Teams, a message that has been seen has a little eye next to it on the right.
@alamias I have one potentially starting next Monday.
I say potentially because the recruiter called me last night, and I missed it, and have not heard back since.
ETA: I just heard from the job - The start date was pushed back a week. Ugh.
So for the first time in over 2 months, I'm being asked to do my ACTUAL job. The one I was hired to do.
But they've changed a bunch of shit, and implemented a bunch of rules. So now, because I am just that petty, I am insisting to follow them all. That means I need to be assigned to a queue to call out for my current tasks.
@lotherio But is your dignity really a celebrity? 
@greenflashlight It does, but it's not. I mean, they're allowed to change someone's timesheet, but that's usually when someone has to suddenly call out sick or something.
So IDK.
