pcktlnt Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Guess I could have paid the $6 and taken leftovers to go. $50 well spent for sushi and a food coma. Platypus still wants more food. Settles in with book and Ice coffee mocha instead. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcktlnt Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 It's been a while since I took time away from work for myself. This is enlightening and I question why the hell didn't I do this before. People blowing up my phone. Ignored. Email recieved. Ignored. Text messages on phone. Ignored. I should be doing this more often. Looks at accumulated pto. I wonder if I can use my 2 months back to back. We aren't allowed to take more than 2 weeks back to back. I'm remote, so I should be able to do 2 weeks. Work one day. Do another 2 weeks. Work one day. Repeat until I have used a decent chunk of my pto. *ponders* How is everyone? 9 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like I'm doing better than you. Taking time for yourself is very important. I can't really stress how important. Unless you are classified as "key personnel", with commensurate pay, benefits, and perks, whoever you work for isn't going to suffer any major inconvenience from your doing what you need to do to improve your own well being and long term health. If you ~are~ key personnel then doing what is necessary for your personal well being should be part of the package. Be Well my friend.

Also Service Manager, yelling at techs "Why do you guys keep missing your emails in the service inbox? Do I have to do everything for you?" Me: How many times do I have to tell you - if you want me to see it, leave it unread. Tag it as mine, if you feel like it. I don't mark yours as read. (Necro-responding, but I was curious what I'd multi-quoted a month ago and still wanted to respond to this lol) Agh, yes, been in a fairly similar situation. My own policy is to leave a work email unread until I've dealt with it. This is relevant. So, my work has a shared email inbox (several people have access, but only one officially monitors it), where healtcare providers can send secure emails with Covid test result reports. At the beginning of this year, I took over monitoring that inbox, but was out for a week right after that happened, so my supervisor took over during that time. Once I returned to work, I took over inbox monitoring for reals. After I'd been doing it for a few days, I got the odd feeling that I was marking emails read that I hadn't yet dealt with. I chalked it up to post-Covid fuzziness, and it wasn't until I happened to catch an email go from unread to read that I realized what was going on. Someone else was marking them read, without also downloading the reports. (This resulted in me and my team of 2 having to suddenly process nearly 2 weeks of backdated Covid reports at the height of Omicron, all at once. I was NOT a happy OneBoot). I let my supervisor know, they promised to send a message to everyone that had access to the inbox to stop marking emails read if they weren't involved with Covid stuff. The problem continued. 3 more days of this and I was losing my patience. The last straw was when I logged in first thing in the morning, marked all the unprocessed emails unread, then watched in disbelief as all ten got marked read again. So, I composed a brief message in my work email kindly requesting that marking emails read when they weren't processed was severely delaying Covid reporting, and to please stop (I was slightly less polite than this). I sent this to the shared inbox, and since I knew the culprit was online, I waited, knowing they would read it too. Sure enough, shortly that email was marked read as well. Later that day, when a report came in, I let it sit for a bit to see if my mesage worked. Nobody touched it. Haven't had a problem with it since.

WhiteWulfe Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Hmmm... Didn't get to Ikea yesterday because I decided I didn't want to rush out the door to get there on time, and also spend 3.5-4 hours on the bus... I'm delivering to them today. Not sure if a sign, or just a massive temptation. Or a tempting sign that hey, fox, get the tabletop for our gaming table (so we can play board games), and then yoink the table that originally was my first painting desk and make it my painting desk again... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Customer leaves Voice Mail: Please call me back. Dispatcher: I assigned the call to you because you're the only one here so far this morning. No idea what he wants. I call customer back as soon as I can, about 30 minutes later. Meanwhile, other techs have arrived. Customer picks up phone and immediately says "Call me back in two hours, I'm in the middle of something."Me: Ok, ah... Phone clicks. One hour and forty five minutes later Dispatcher: I need you to take this other call. Me: Supposed to call that other guy back in 15 minutes. Dispatcher: Well, he might have to wait. Me: Ok. Ninety minutes later, after I resolve other call, I get to call the rude Voice Mail guy back: Me: Hi, returning your call. Customer: I need help with these Canadian Bill Validators I bought from you. Me: Um, sorry, you're going to have to talk to one of the Canadian techs. We don't use that brand or model on US equipment and I'm the US tech. Customer: When can they call me back? Me: Don't know, I'm going to have to kick the ticket back to dispatch. Dispatch (after I tell her) BROCOLLI! If he had mentioned why he was calling in his VM, I could have gotten him a tech this morning. Now he's going to have to wait. OH, and the 90 minute call? She started off her call with "I have three things I need your help with." Six Items later, we were finished. To be fair, though, I noticed one of the six items myself, it wasn't on her list. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
