Sooo its Sunday again. Sunday's are beginning to be my least favorite day of the week. It means Chris leaves and work tomorrow. :-( The good news though...after this week all my family will be here, yay! I'm so excited to see everyone. We bought the tickets for Disney Land and Sea World this weekend. Holy crap was that expensive. Almost $1000 for all of them. Considering its for 11 people though, its not really that bad, but still...it just feels wrong to spend that much money on tickets. I know we'll have fun though, and the kids will especially love it. I think most everything is taken care of for them now...the house is mosly clean (after nagging Chris to clean his closet :-P), we have the tickets, I have a ton of stuff for the kids (we finally found floaties for Whit, hehe)...I guess I just have to buy food for when they're here and then we should be good. :-)
Mini rant about work:
Okay, this may not be mini. I was quite pissed off Thursday and Friday at work. I'm not sure if my manager was PMSing, or I was or what, but holy crap...I wanted to just walk out soooo bad. First of all, I have 2 managers (I'm the only one in the office like this) and it makes things get confusing at times. Technically, my boss is the office manager. But I work for the Mass Marketing dept, who also has a manager. The vast majority of my job is in support of the Mass Marketing manager, but I also am cross trained for other departments and do some work with them. Up to this point, I've loved both of these managers, no problems what so ever. Well, Thursday, Corie and I (the girl in the next cubical) are just sitting there, minding our own business...not talking (haha) when the office manager comes up and puts memos on our desks and walks away. Here's the memo: "The office has been very quiet the last 20 minutes, lets keep it that way. We all need to cut down on the chit chat." Wft? This again? I forgot that we're not supposed to speak. Such bs. So Corie and I are already annoyed by that, and we decided to go to lunch together. The day before, we decided to go to a scrapbooking store over our lunch to get cool paper to decorate our cubicals and put up pictures. No big deal, right? You wouldn't think so, considering that every other person in the office has decorations in their areas. Well, we didn't buy enough the first day, so we went back on Thursday to get some more. We get back to work, I sit down at my desk and have the paper sitting out next to me. Three seconds later, my manager (mass mkt manager) walks over to my desk and goes "put that away and get to work." *blank stare* me: "ooookay?" her: *looks at the pictures I have up already* "so...did you do all this on company time or on your break?" me: *still trying desperately to understand this* "uhhhh...on my breaks." (you Nazi bitch :-P) So then she just walks off. So that was point A to piss me off.
Friday was worse though. We had a major problem with our computer program, most likely caused by some consultants who had come in last week to fix a totally different problem. Basically, ever since they were there, I haven't been able to post things correctly, which means they can't be invoiced and we can't bill customers. Pretty big problem. Even worse is that on Friday I had about 60 orders that were supposed to be invoiced that day (which is very unusual, we can normally wait a couple of days to bill). So this is obviously a big problem. The thing that pissed me off was that I discovered this problem on THRUSDAY and told both managers about it. No one seemed to care until Friday. I get to work at 7am...and I realized it wasn't fixed by 7:25 and again told my manager. Well, NOW she's freakin out about it and calling the programmers etc. So the guy gets there at about 10:30 or so. My manager instantly sends him over to me and wants me to explain the problem. Fine, so I show him. He sits at my computer, has me try things, he tries things, he asks me questions, he calls other people...and so on. Soon after he gets there Julie comes up to me and wants to know why I'm not doing any work. Seriously? Could it be b/c you sent a programmer to my desk, which he's now working at, signed into my name on all our programs, and he's asking me all kinds of questions? Could that possibly be the reason? Or could it be b/c I CAN'T do any work, b/c the program isn't working...a problem that I told you about the day before? Humm? Could that be it? So what does she do then? Oooooh, pisses me off further. I guess as a way to force me to "work" she sent me out into the warehouse to do the most retarded and unnecessary project she could think of...organize (seriously) THOUSANDS of sleeves that we have as examples in the plant. Fine...I'll do it. I also threw about 3/4 of them away. :-P It was kind of a good stress reliever actually, hehe.
Ugh...so yah that was work. The program still wasn't working when I left on Friday. I'm sure that was somehow my fault. I also sort of think the programmer was sort of...not as good as he should have been. Granted, the problem wasn't what he was an expert in, but I felt like I knew more about the thing than he did (and I know VERY little). He worked on it for about 3 hours at my desk before going back to our server room. Well then I sat down at my desk and started reading some of the posting reports he had left on my desk, which he had said were all correct, so he assumed that wasn't a problem. Well...within like 10 seconds I noticed that all the posting dates on the report were showing up 0/00/0000. I'm no computer programmer getting paid $165 an hour, but I'm pretty sure that could be part of our issue. I just pray that thing is fixed when I go back tomorrow. And I'm going to try to have a better attitude, hopefully that will help things. Its just so strange how much I've loved this job until the last 2 days...I don't want that to ruin things. I just have to get through this week (which also includes working Saturday morning, grrrr) and then I get a week off. :-D
We went to see Wedding Crashers today. It was really funny. Funny in an American Pie kind of way. :-P Well, not that bad actually, but similar. It was pretty entertaining though, hehe.
I've also decided that Chris and I are way too immature to be married. :-P I don't even remember how this whole thing started, b/c it was weeks ago...but I'll just say that today it ended up with a Snickers bar in my bath tub. Hehehe, so disturbing. We have a very healthy marriage actually...but I don't think other people would understand it. :-P |
