GoldenPiggy Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 My favorite targeted Amazon ad was when Amazon suggested I might be interested in my own book. I mean, they're not wrong, exactly, since I obviously have some interest in the book I wrote. I just have no need to buy it, as I still have a few copies directly from the publisher. 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I get it, but then I was a teenager in the late 70s/early 80s when it was in heavy use. Well, most cats do believe they are the center of the universe. These ones are just starting to manifest the gravity well associated with being the center of a universe. So last week, I had to visit a local site to assist with the tear out of some old tellers and installation of new ones. This was all discussed via a group text message on Monday that included the site, myself, the lead engineer and the software guy. Tuesday I was on site helping with the tear out, and then back again on Thursday to assist with the firing up of the tellers. Site & I posted several updates to this text group. On Thursday, the software guy is completely unprepared to assist. At one point I walked off the job site because I was ticked off. During a later conversation, the engineer tries to tell me he didn't learn about the installation on Thursday until Wednesday afternoon and that the software guy didn't know until he told him that morning. Took everything I had to not yell "are you broccoling kidding me? You were on the same text message thread I was. Broccoli this, I quit." I wound up having to go back on Friday as a result. The engineer and software guy were still complaining that they had to work through their lunch hours and after dinner that night because of the short notice. Any way you can bring this situation to the attention of either the person you report to or the people the two clown shows on the other end report to?

Pegazus Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 For as bland and uninspiring my current work is, the hours just seem to scream by. I am very confused by that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEM The lead engineer is also the company owner. The software guy is his son. it's a frustrating situation for me. I literally have the best of two worlds - I'm considered self-employed due to the fact it would cost them a lot more to bring me on as an employee, given that I'm their only US asset, and they would have to create an entire US company just for me. But I also get what amounts to a regular paycheck and paid vacation, which provides some security. I actually have to assert my self employed status from time to time to avoid any issues with the IRS, which is nice, because I can refuse to service certain customers, or take on customers on the side and bill direct for things that would be outside of my contract. So walking away from that knowing I will probably never be able to find as sweet of a gig as I have now is really really hard. OTOH, the owner/engineer drives me crazy at times. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoramel Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 So I'm in a wedding this weekend for one of my oldest and closest friends. I volunteered to take a few days off work to assist with getting everything organized and set up The bride to be sent me my schedule today and whew! She has got me extremely busy for three days straight! It's going to be a lot of work, and that's okay. After all, I'm the one who volunteered. But man, I'm going to need a couple days recuperating after this whole thing is done. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Knight Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Yeah, it's a Monday. Fell through a floor, less than pleasant experience. Some pulled muscles and minor abrasions, rather fortunate I didn't a) plunge through and break something on the concrete below or b) catch and tear something on the nails and broken wood or c) fall back or to the side and break the caught limb. Still. Don't recommend. 3 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she appreciates another pair of hands helping out. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend taking some Tylenol, Advil, or whatever you use for aches and pains before you go to sleep for the night. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
