Day two of wishing I could day drink.
ETA: My staffing agency knew nothing of my 'training for a new project'. I'm also being expected to use my own laptop and gaming headphones, because I wasn't sent out company gear like other people in the training were.
Fuck this noise.
@Ganymede Well, I spent 8+ hours on a Zoom meeting, doing new Hire training - which I completed months ago and have memorized and used the information for 4+ months now.
Add in a 'teacher' with zero ability to help people having ZOOM issues and expecting people to call their supervisor/IT on their breaks/lunch (Which is hell no!) and does not understand you can private message people on Zoom. (Not to mention her 'air of superiority')
My boss peeked into the meeting a few times today - and saw that we were going over ground I know well. He told me that if she ever tells me to do anything on break/lunch other than take my break/lunch? No. Take my break/lunch. I told him straight up how frustrated I was and irritated at the whole thing. (he nor I knew what today would be, until I was in it) He is talking to his bigger boss in the morning, because he knows this is BS.
I will be calling my staffing agency, since the company hasn't hired me on in all this WFH madness, and asking if they knew that I was suddenly being asked to take on other, different responsibilities/job descripton.

@RightMeow wtf is redditgifts?
@KDraygo I'm in a stupid training, going over shit I've known for months, forced into a position for my job that I DO NOT WANT. But she keeps randomly calling on people, so I can't walk away, either.
Family. Yeaaaaaaah that only makes it worse. My stepmonster has made it clear I'm no longer family since my father is gone.
Just feeling so alone and isolated, and hitting my limits.
I am hitting the limits to bursting. I'm stressed out, and depressed and keep bursting into tears. And I feel trapped.
@Auspice It's not so much anxiety. It will be the stress of call metrics, and people that I can't communicate with, and ...this is just not the job I accepted. I feel like this is bullshit.
So I am in a Zoom meeting for 'training' for work. My job is outreach to enroll medicare recipients into managed care plans. I love my job. I love my boss. My job combines my skill set of customer service with that feeling that I am doing something to help people, so while pay sucks, I still like my job.
Today they have me in training for call center work. I took this job to GET AWAY from being a call center bitch. Also? I have no way to transfer someone if they need a translator, and I will be getting a lot of calls from NYC that will want one.
Fucking lay me off until the office reopens and I can go back to the job I signed on for. This is not the work I wanted to do, and I'm already to the edge with stress/depression.
@surreality I admit the Daniel Sharman is how I heard about it. I like him (saw him in Teen Wolf before CW). I want to get into it.
In Jerry Stiller's honor - We will now have an airing of the Grievances.
I want to go see my nephew. He's almost 7 months old now, and I haven't seen him in almost 3 months. That's so much missed.
I love documentaries. Innocence Files is good, yus. (But I am a sucker for crime docs)
@peasoupling I will confess. I didn't know you could peel beans. But I don't make a lot of soup, etc. I know you have to soak dried beans, and that's about it.
When you have to go to the Gyno - and it's the 4th. And the nurse can't stop talking about your 'rebel scum' t-shirt, your R2D2 earrings and necklace, and then you show her your 'Join the resistance socks'. She then feels the need to pull in another nurse - who is wearing the same socks.
Then your doctor comes in, and she's still as wonderfully funny as you remember. You wonder why you were anxious as hell.
@JinShei Oh maaaaaan. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back and see Buffy for the first time again. My sister and I have watched all the seasons together. Any time one of us was sick, we'd make mac and cheese, pop in the next disc, and binge. Before it was a thing.
Enjoy it. Especially with all the 90s fashion.

Growing up in NY, my dad and his friends loved to hate the Dolphins, but they often grumbled about Shula's good coaching/plays.
@buttercup It's just awesome that your family is doing this.
@buttercup Can I just say thank you for having a 5 buck button? I can't donate much, but that much I could handle, so it made me feel good to do it, without the guilt of not being able to do more.
