@kestrel not for work stuff. Part of a class action for something else entirely.

Got some unexpected cash from a lawsuit. See stuff I've wanted to buy so I could make cold process soaps. Do math. Realize if I order this now, I can have soaps ready for early December.

Proceed to panic for even thinking it, because I don't even know if I could sell them.

Put on repeat in brain.

@misadventure You and me both.

@misadventure hahahah no, they won't allow that. They only allow recording of like group things.

And because of workspaces, she can't install anything into it without IT, which would require sup's approval.

But they also assigned me MORE tasks to do, even though there was no discussion if I was ready to go solo, and even though my sup knew I have no software to call out with.

Yeah. Fucking idiots.

So more training, doot doot do. AKA watching someone else do it, but I got to hear a couple whole calls this time! Yay!~

After lunch - Lisa wants me to make the calls. Softphone is broken. Boss didn't request me to have an account on the new calling software lol

I get to rub it in boss' face, because I asked him about this part LAST WEEK.

@derp I have been asking to learn it for a YEAR. They kept saying that my team was going to be phased out of doing it, that we weren't going to be doing any more, etc etc.

I KNEW better, from the queues. I asked, and I had someone VOLUNTEERING to just let me watch her do hers, while we were both working from home, and I could have watched her and listened in on everything through teams (Office computers are not set up the same as WFH, and this has caused an issue). I asked once a month, to be allowed to learn this.

Now they're trying to bully me into doing it before I am ready. And this is honestly a project you need two monitors to do. And with the laptop, clearly I do not have 2.

They're trying to make me feel guilty that Lisa has to claim my 4 tasks, when I know Lisa only claims like 3 at a time, tops. But no, I won't. Because if someone who has been doing it for over a YEAR is only claiming 3 at a time, why the HELL is the brand spanking new, not even fully trained person being assigned 4?!?

I may have called my contact point for that job I interviewed for on Wednesday.

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.

@derp It's really just me staring at the email, going "...the FUCK?" And laughing.

So want job I interviewed for yesterday.

@atomic ... this is my kind of job. Not just the remote and wfh stipends. But trying to HELP people that are sick.

It's why I'm so mad that right now they're training me for a department, and we're not doing the job right. We're cutting corners because they're so 'behind'. I get so frustrated.

Here's hoping those interviews yesterday bear fruit.

I now got an email from this company, telling me they're no longer considering me, and I have to wait 6 months to apply again.

For fucks sake.

But other interviews this morning I /think/ went well? I hope? This job sounds like I'd be breaking a lot of new ground, and.. yeah. My ADHD loves new things.

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.

@ganymede Well, being as I'm allergic (sad), kitten pictures are pretty great. I have all the adorable doggo I need.

@ganymede Awww. Kittens.

Thanks, guys.

Well, more and more, I'm thinking about asking for the reasons why I did not get my promotion to tier two in writing.

I have interviews on Wednesday for a job I am super hopeful for, permanent work from home, close to what I do now, they provide equipment, and pay more.

The interview that just stood me up, almost 2 weeks ago? Called me to apologize, there was a scheduling error, blah blah blah. I told them I'd be willing to schedule another. I'm willing to give them a second chance.

So here's hoping.

@coin I can't do it. Like ONE book of his a year is all I can make myself read through. I like the stories, but..

@jinshei I would look, but it wants to verify who I am lol

@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.

@zombiegenesis I remember watching reruns of Bosom Buddies... like Nick at nite or something. And then being forced to watch Newhart with my aunt. I did enjoy his characters.

@too-old-for-this See, easiest for me? Biology - Physics- Chemistry.

Of course, My chemistry teacher in high school had zero variable voice tone, and it was first period. Snoooooooooze.

@thhppbbbt 9:45 am is not lunch. That's midmorning snack. I hate how schools do this kind of crap. I remember my school wanting me to eat lunch at 10:40, and that was too early for me. (And I don't do breakfast as a rule, unless I've been made to, or I just have been up all night). I can't imagine a younger kid being...

Gods I hate the school system.
