More Annoyances

To add insult to injury, I was moved into the cubby hole from hell the moment the intern walked in 10 minutes early. So I moved and prayed that I wouldn't go insane in a chair that won't adjust the height, banging my knees on the little table that feels like it was made for pre-schoolers to color at, and no FRIGGEN room to move without bumping into something with hands or feet. Throw in the fact that I've kneecapped myself on nearly everything within reached of this desk, I'm one happy camper. NOT! :(

I continued with my filing, since it was moved from the GREAT BIG EXPANSIVE DESK to dinky annoying crayon table where I feel like I am crouched over this damn thing like a scribing monk of doom. Grrrrrrrrr 45 minutes go by and all of my preemptive filing and checking and verifying for the intern so she won't have to waste her time on researching all this stuff before data entering W-2 information to get this ALL DONE before she leaves, she's nowhere to be found near the computer! Another 15 minutes go by and she still hasn't shown back up, but by that time I am walking my ass up to the front desk to sit there and file what needs to be filed in that area. (NOTE: It's colder than all get out up there. Probably 60 degrees and nearly impossible retain body heat. The desk is not ergonomically sound and uncomfortable. Again with the knee capping of myself on things that are within reach. :( It sucks.) So that's a short-term morning solution until 1 rolls around and that desk opens up for business with student and employee W-4 and international student help with their payroll and tax needs. 1-4 that desk is out of my reach. :( But hey, I managed to chew up enough time to come back to my regular area and file and fiddle and twiddle the thumbs until lunch rolls around.

I almost didn't get the use of this one for the simple fact that if you don't log yourself off of a station, no one else can log onto it for use. If you think you can be slick and just pull the plug and log yourself on after you plug the computer back in, guess again! Apparently it has been tried without much success. LOL It wasn't me thankfully, because that moron got YELLED at something fierce by several managers. Anyhoo, I come back from up front and find her checking e-mail and chatting it up on the phone about last night's whatever she did with her little friends. Dude, if I gotta give up prime real-estate for you to screw around half the time, I'm gonna get pissed off in a real friggen hurry here. The fact that I was desperate enough to log onto AIM and chat on my cell phone periodically just to get a technology fix was pathetic enough for me. Not to mention the fact that all the work she did the other day when she was here did not print correctly, nor was it verified if it was printed or not. So when folks came in to pick up their reprints and duplicates after 1pm yesterday, I had to deal with cranky people who wasted a trip because it wasn't done correctly. NICE! 8.50 an hour is not enough to put up with that kind of shit. Ugh. Oh well, I am going to finish eating lunch and then hit careerbuilder for more jobs in a bit.

I know, it's not the intern's fault and perhaps I am being mean due to stuff not going as ideally as I would have liked. It's a pain in the ass to move around and be stuck in a situation where you weren't consulted and then just told you were going to do something because there was a severe lack of planning on anyone's part! Ugh. She keeps coming by the printer to pick up stuff and trying to read over my shoulder. Perhaps I could just be annoyed by that. Right? RIGHT! She's a sweetie for the most part, so I shouldn't rag or fault her for management's lack of planning. Apparently she thinks it would be great to find my blog and read it too. Ummm, no, you wouldn't like me very much if you did find it chica. Not after what I've written this past week or so. I am fully aware of the fact that if someone were to find this blog and take offense at my ratings and observations, I would likely be fired for it. It's a risk I will take, because I would otherwise go nuts during my days here when there is nothing else to do. *sigh* Hope you're having a better day than me!

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
