What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I'll call and tell them I resign, minus all the bad stuff (my anger has cooled, a little!)...

Well, you should provide feedback, just without the yelling and screaming. Maybe it will help someone that hasn't gotten as frustrated as you or hasn't started working there yet.

It's hard to say without getting worked up or something. I think it's just the way the entire company is heading too. For instance we were supposed to upgrade the way we processed orders and make things more computerized, they even brought in people to install cables in high ceilings, got new printers and computers, etc... but finally admitted last week that it's not happening. This was supposed to happen last September. I realize things aren't that easy in such environments, but I even heard rumors of this when I started 3 years ago lol. I feel like it all fits along with the false promises of my promotion that never fell through, when I was as assertive and awesome as I could be about it, my boss just started bringing up the same stories and excuses. The place had a lot of talking going on... with no action. Maybe I can somehow say something like that.

But yeah, the more I sit around, thinking and venting about it, it really is time for me to move on.

The funeral is open casket, and she is holding the baby, and both will be buried together. It's going to be a while to get that image out of my mind.

That is fucked up. Personally, I think it's quite nice to bury them together, so don't get me wrong. But I'd think it only adds to the drama/grief to have an open casket where you can see the tragedy laid bare at the funeral. So while it is a reassuring/comforting thing to know that they are being buried together, it is not a wise decision for a wake, in my opinion. It might be the saddest funeral you'll ever attend. Be sure to grab a few beers before, and bring a flask and lots of tissues.

^This. Good luck, Luke. Sorry to hear, that's awful.

It was terrible, but it happened 4 years ago now. You've quoted something from page 1.

You mean there's people that don't?

Gettin' digits.

Common core math isn't as simple as that for all of us.

Or are you receiving fingers in the mail? That is disturbing.

Forced OT today. My last date was 1/30, so it's been 6.5 months, and I had precisely zero plans today, so it's as good of a day as any for it... but still, any time it happens it kinda sucks. I ALMOST got sprung early (like... nowish) because one of our regular OT whores saw the page and called up going "I'll come in!!"... but forgot he's already coming in at 1200, so that wouldn't help me at all.

Make the best of a bad situation -- I texted a couple friends who work the evening shift, and my favorite (the work wife as I so affectionately refer to) has said "If no one takes it, I'll come in early for you"... but she was going back to sleep for a couple hours, considering this was at 0800 and I was talking to her last night until she went to sleep at 0200.

So I'm likely going to get out at 1200 or so... maybe 1400. Probably more like 1200. Forced OT sucks, but money's good! Alwaaays look on the briiiiight side of life, do-doot, do-doot do-do-do-doo-doot!
