some shit and some crap...

christ, what to say about the last few days? on tuesday we got our new schedules at work...i get fucking 6 am to 2:30 pm monday through friday...it's only for a week, but fuck...it turns out they just don't offer any mid-shift schedules anymore, or even fucking normal 9-5ish schedules...the start times stop at like 7-something am and pick back up again at 1-something pm...kind of a whole bunch of bullshit...and then later in the day i get a fucking Verbal Warning for having my shoes off...i told them about my toe surgery and all that shit and they didn't fucking care and the fucking cunt that manages the center had me written up...nice i have my doctor fax something over the next day and they still don't fucking care and won't remove the warning...i was wanting to report them to whichever government agency i could for violation of whichever shit i could, but tennessee's osha crap doesn't seem to help me much...i dunno, if anyone has any information that could help me...whatever...then we hosted trivia tuesday night...i wouldn't say "disaster" but uh...it's the first week of school so there's hardly anybody there...only like three regular teams (which just so happened to be the teams that won...) and there were a whole bunch of newcomers that kinda sucked terribly at trivia and seemed disgruntled...and we really didn't make it hard, but the atmosphere that night felt pretty bad...well, so my round was an audio round, identify the song by the synth part...it went about as well as any other round that night...

yesterday at work they started us on the new system towards the end of the day...there arent' even enough consoles so they had us double-jacking for part of it...kind of stupid...then today was the first day entirely on the new system...i come in and there's nowhere to sit so i just wait around for almost 20 minutes, just waiting...then there's a ton of problems with everything...and the biggie was they were moving something in the california center so they routed california calls to us for a little while (yeah, no one here's ever taken a california call...) but then of course we're overloaded with calls for that time 'cuz california's a much bigger state and to top that off most of the calls have severe technical problems...the one i got that connected after a little bit the woman on the voice side said she couldn't hear me and the connection was bad and the line kept cutting in and out and at the same time the tty user started saying he was getting garble and so then they both hung up...then i just get some fucked up shit happen that locks my console up...other people were having similar issues of course...the california debacle didn't last long and most things aside from that were somewhat okay, but there were still issues...so that lent the day an air of fun, witnessing everything in that place go to pieces a little bit...oh yeah! and then i came home and got a package containing my next module: another envelope generator! much needed! woo!
