    Mr. Frodo just came back here, and asked if I had used a certain piece of software created by the company, and I said no.
    He says we need to test that out.
    Fair enough.
    But then, when I asked him about the Admin assistant position, and whether or not he’s conducted interviews, he says he hasn’t interviewed for it at all.
    I can pretty much guess that Bobby wouldn’t like to be called a liar, and he definitely wouldn’t want it implied either.
    Today’s theme has been the lack of professionalism on the floor.
    Mr. Frodo apparently harped on it in the staff meeting.
    He should start by incorporating a little honestly in his daily regimen.

    They’ve gotten new machines in the break room, and the microwaves have Braille on them!
    Bobby’s also working on getting overlays for the vending machines, as well as lists of the contents.
    I’m glad to see someone actually manages to get something done around here.
    Still no word on my working situation.
    Apparently Mr. Frodo’s been conducting interviews for the Admin position, and just decided not to let me know.
    Loser just isn’t an appropriate epithet.
    I can’t seem to think of a better one though.
    There was a rumor going around last week that he had planned to hire out for the position all along, and when I asked him about it, I got some dribble about how there’s value in hiring in and value in hiring out.
    This was along with the little excerpts from the Jaws help file coming from the client.
    We’ll be at 2.5 months February 24th.
    God, please, don’t let this go on any longer.

    I just realized that the extention that allows me to post to the LJ has been deactivated since January 22nd.
    If you’re interested in reading what’s been posted since then, Go to the site and read backwards.

  • I’m just about to head to bed, but figured I’d take care of any site
    maintenance that might need attention, like moderating comments and such.
    I just deleted an avalanche of spam from my inbox.
    I think I’ll have to disable the comment form.
    It’s generating too much junk, and as far as I know, there’s no way to
    moderate it.
    I really do believe that spamming should be at least a corporal crime, if
    not a capital one.
    It’s off to bed for me now.

  • I’ve searched through the Freedomscientific technical support bulletins, and there’s no info for my current problem.
    This is infuriating.

  • I have a post that’s appearing on the front page at least seven times.
    It seems as though the email went out several times.
    But every time I try to delete the duplicates, Jaws locks up, and I have to restart the system.
    Hopefully I can get this sorted.

  • I talked to Ray earlier this evening, and he told me that he had asked the advice of an acquaintance of ours more knowledgeable in the law than either of us.
    Basically, it comes down to this.
    As long as the company pays me, and doesn’t say anything derogatory, then they can dally as much as they like regarding my work situation, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
    Angry isn’t the right word to describe how I feel right now.
    What few teeth I thought I had in this situation really never existed, and I’m completely at the whim of a group of people who for the most part don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves.
    It’s a good thing there’s no alcohol in the house.
    I’d be in no condition to go to work tomorrow if there were.

  • I just looked at my paycheck.
    $589.74 isn’t bad.
    I’ll pay all my bills, and maybe have a little left over to put in the Paypal account.
    I’m saving up to take a trip as soon as I can.
    I’ve managed to get through today with very little sleepiness.
    I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
    I’m glad tomorrow’s Friday, but I’ll be even more glad when they let me know whether or not I got the admin position.
    I’d like to come home at the end of the day knowing I put in a full day’s work.
    I’ve forgotten what that’s like.
    I mean, work always has its disadvantages, but at least when you’ve worked, you know you’ve done your part.
    I’ll probably need some couch time when this is all over.

  • Triage just got a call from an agent, asking for clarification of what classifies as stolen meds.
    The agent had a member on the phone who said she lives on a house boat in Illinois, and that a Mermaid or fish got on the boat, and stole her meds.
    John dialed in to listen to the call as it progressed, with a whole bunch of us clustered around his cube.
    After a few minutes the agent found out that the caller was just trying to be cute, but only after specifically asking if the meds had been lost.
    The caller mentioned the Mermaid again while we were all listening.
    UM says he’s going to contact Client Services to see if we can have Mermaids listed as a criterian for replacing a med, and that they’ll probably get that done faster than they’ll fix the DB_interface.
    All and all, it was great.
