I got a call at 1230am to come in at 4am to cover some useless gently caress who didn't show, and was told it's my fault if I don't get enough sleep. When I showed up at 4am, I found out the guy had shown up at 1am and no one called to tell me. I still went to work at 8 but boy did I not give a gently caress today.

Wedge a small piece of folded over paper between the frame and the glass to hold it in place and at least give the appearance of security.

The dump of a job I spoke of before is currently up in the air since we still haven't been told whether or not our company's contract has been renewed at the end of the year. We have known about this for over a month now. Happy holidays!

So after having my schedule changed from 8am-4pm to 4am-4pm and finding this out the day before it happens two weekends in a row (both Christmas day and New Year's day lol) I put in my two weeks notice today, which prompted my boss to schedule me for two 4am-4am's next week when we usually spread them out between me and the other person. Gonna be hilarious when I turn in my uniforms on Friday instead unless something happens to change my mind.

Just took 20mg of Ducolax for colonoscopy prep, so my life is probably about to literally be the thread title  Still funny prereg with the hospital over the phone today since the nurse almost immediately asked me if I need any accommodation and I told her I was in my mid 30's so she could skip the next few questions.

You must be leaving something out. They make more than the average employee and the company needed an excuse to get him off the payroll so they could replace him with a temp or somebody cheaper. Don't assume malice when avarice will suffice.

Surprise $500+ medical bill final notice today because the hospital refused to change my address despite me telling them my new address every time I was there every month for a year. Somehow your collection agency manages to find my address just fine, HMM

cyberia posted:If you can somehow prove that you provided the correct address and never received the bill because it went to your old address they may be willing to waive the collection fees. I work in medical billing and we'll waive fees if the doctor didn't put the right address on the original paperwork or things like that. I'm going with "ignore it because my credit is already in the toilet and I don't care anymore, and if you garnish my wages I'll quit my job and give every cent I have to the local homeless shelter out of spite" because I really don't give a drat about working with a completely broken system run and staffed by sociopaths only in it for the money.

Belated, but I forgot about this thread. Friday was the usual drudge work in a hot factory. I drink out of the drinking fountains because gently caress paying for water like a chump. I overheard or noticed people complaining about the water more than usual (I'm in a dumbfuck area where bottled water is perceived as "better"), but I ignored it since it didn't taste any worse than usual. Finally about an hour and a half in, somebody tells me they accidentally temporarily connected or cross-connected water lines from the presses to the lines the water fountains use. I immediately filled up a cup and sure enough it was grey. Thanks for telling the janitor he was drinking contaminated water, assholes. Luckily I don't think I had enough to do me any harm since I didn't drink that much, they fixed the problem before I got there, and it was slowly getting flushed out I guess?

Worthless poo poo company that took over my company has kept us understaffed for two months, and since I'm sick of overtime (literally, I get bloody stools from stress ulcers as well as my IBS flaring up big time if I can't get at least a single day off) I put in my three weeks notice. It loving sucks, it was a simple security job with decent people, and went from fine to being miserable in the span of two months as a quarter of the staff quit. Current site supervisor can't do anything, they just had a meeting yesterday with the new company and it apparently didn't go well, so it's unlikely that we'll get more staff anytime soon. gently caress it, whatever, I'm just going to go back to a factory and beat the poo poo out of my body until I can get my house built and paid off. edit: lmfao just found out today the meeting went so bad said supervisor just changed his three week period before he steps down into a lesser potion into a two week resignation notice.

Last day was last night instead of a couple weeks since I'm (hopefully) starting training with a new company tomorrow. "My day was lovely" part of this post is I missed one of the area supervisors stopping by to huff and puff like a douche on my last shift because I was out on a round. I really wish I could have met him to discuss the "we don't care about the missing headlight on your company vehicle, just use the highbeams" policy (among other things).

MisterBibs posted:Forgive the unintentional pun, but my day is lovely because... well, I'm having lower GI issues. Nothing like a) feeling like you gotta fart a lot and b) understanding you absolutely cannot Trust The Fart is annoying. Isn't it wonderful how you literally can't do anything because you know if you start doing something you might have to stop and crap before you get invested in it, so you sit around waiting for your gut to say "Yes, I really actually want to poop now, go ahead" for hours?

On the upside if it's external exhaust related it'll be relatively cheap and isn't hurting your car to run around until it's fixed.

oldpainless posted:America is a capitalist hellhole where workers are fired for no reason because of right to work and also somehow never fired despite being terrible employees Right to work has nothing to do with this; you're thinking of at-will employment. Right-to-work is about being able to work in a union shop without paying union dues, in other words being a worthless scab gently caress but you're protected by law. And useless shitheads are kept around because below a certain level of jobs you take what you can get because anybody worth a poo poo quits as soon as they finish school/get a better career. Hence the only long timers are 50% worthless morons.

Got a text one hour ago (~11:30PM) saying I had to open at 5:00AM 30 miles away, on the first day of my weekend. Said job will be a pay-cut on hourly rate because the company pays by site, I won't get overtime because I'm part-time, and the incentive they said they'd give me to do it is taking an extra two days off this week, unpaid. I said no then turned my phone off because gently caress them, so I'm probably out of a job. gently caress this goddamn state, country, and economic system. I loving give up. This was my last try. I'm 39 goddamn years old, I have no loving skills because I drank myself stupid in my twenties, I'm autistic as hell so doing short hours simple part time dullard work was the only type of job I could manage to keep, and this one was absolutely perfect. Now I'm probably out on my rear end because I refused to drive thirty goddamn loving miles on four goddamn hours of loving sleep and I wish this was just... end. I can't do this any more. I can't fight against a system and people that absolutely do not care if I live or die, that only give a poo poo about me if I'm performing exactly to their precise specifications, I can't. I can't. I can't. gently caress these bastards, I wish they'd loving die of necrotic genitalia. Goddamn loving assholes. I desperately want a drink, I can't drink, I hate everything about this. ryonguy has a new favorite as of 05:46 on Jul 29, 2019 |

Update: everything is perfectly copacetic, or at least relatively for blowing off work. Supervisor said he had to cover it and was kinda annoyed about it, but said it was over and done with. So I flipped out and spent the weekend dreading getting fired for nothing

InsertPotPun posted:get to the loving point when you're calling a business. Don't tell me about your day, don't give me your guesses as to what's wring (if you really knew you'd fix it) answer my loving questions. You're calling a professional for a loving reason and your response to my very basic question shouldn't be "does that matter?" Go gently caress yourself I'm not asking for my health. And don't loving give me your entire history every question I ask. "Does it do that every time?" "well, you see, a few years ago I had a different one and when I moved here..." This is why the cutesy US fake friendly retail service industry sucks because customers expect you to be their buddy. So goddamn sick and tired of idiots answering with joke responses to simple questions.  "Do you know where you're going?" "To hell if ah don't change mah ways. HAW HAW!"

Reroute the callers to the switchboard of a 900 S&M line, they won't know the difference because those kind of people never listen to employees anyways and you'll make bank. Just make sure the perverts calling to get berated know a good customer service role-play script.

Even cheaper than ramen is bulk elbow/whatever-shape noodles, and usually a LOT healthier. Boil up, dump in a bowl and add some butter and seasonings. Or dump on some $1 bottle Italian dressing and some chopped up scrounged veggies for pasta "salad"; keeps pretty good too so you can make a weeks worth at a time.

It took me awhile to really get the joke, but I now know this is sketch about how much every retail person wants to say gently caress off to every annoying customer, like the dickhead today that got to walk out with a more expensive product they didn't pay for because they bitched enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR7LOtMix9w

I call it the Midwest Suffering Index, a corollary to the Protestant Work Ethic wherein unless you are a blind quadruple amputee with leprosy you can't complain because Someone Has It Worse Than You. You get it from growing up in the Midwest and being told not to complain about anything ever.
