Where Laughter Meets Lunacy http://the-bandys.net/jayme/blog Rantings of a semi-crazed 20 something who has yet to find her place in life Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:51:08 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Shut Up! http://the-bandys.net/jayme/blog/2010/04/29/shut-up/ http://the-bandys.net/jayme/blog/2010/04/29/shut-up/#comments Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:51:08 +0000 Jayme http://the-bandys.net/jayme/blog/?p=125 Why can’t you people stop acting like you are better than everyone else and never get upset about things. Am I not entitled to say what I am feeling just because it’s “negative”? I hope you fall off your high horse and break your damn leg! FUCK OFF!

Partly because no one reads this, partly because I’ve been addicted to Facebook…

But just to keep no one updated here is how things have been going.

I have a job that pays good and has great benefits, and also happens to suck so much monkey nuts that I have had to go on multiple medications, see a counselor, lose weight, and cry before work half the time. Yep, IT FUCKING SUCKS ASS!! The job itself wouldn’t be so bad if the company didn’t put so much pressure on the employees as far as metrics and “numbers” go. Customer service means you take care of the customer and do what’s best for them while also looking out for the company right? Well, not so much here. Nothing you do is ever good enough here and even when you get told about something you do right there seems to always be a “but…” that follows so shoot your self esteem right back down to the ground before it evens makes it completely off. I now have one more day left in my work week and it’s currently not even 4pm yet but I have brought an entire bottle of wine and a plastic cup up to my cave and currently my hands are tingling from alcohol. I probably should have eaten something first. I also probably should not really be drinking according to my Rx bottle but I don’t know what else to do at this point. I have never been so unhappy at a job ever, and didn’t know it was even possible to feel this bad about your job. Thanks for that, jackasses! Time to pour some more wine…

P.S. I freaking hate the hell out of my job and would rather clean toilets with no gloves. And for me, that’s saying a lot.

The End.

I have blind copied several people on this since may apply to many of us.

Careless Facebook use may cost you a job

Thoughtless posting to SNS dangerous at the best of times

By J Mark Lytle, Tokyo

Generally, stating the obvious is a very annoying habit of far too many people, however when it comes to commonsense and social networking it seems like the imperative to be sensible is well worth repeating.

The latest example of what not to do online comes from a Reuters report advising us all not to give away too much on FaceBook or Twitter in case prospective employers find out about it.

Dead dogs

It cites a PR specialist, pointing out FaceBook posts about, “colonoscopies, dead teeth pulled, dead dogs, flatulence, adult acne, marital breakups, battles with mental illnesses and drinking problems.”

Going on to put that avalanche of banality in the context of someone looking for a new job, it concludes: “If this information can make friends cringe… imagine the impression it would make on a potential employer.”

Drugs as well

Throw in examples of people posting photos of themselves smoking drugs and making racist and/or sexist jokes and you have a pretty bleak picture of an online confederacy of dunces who’d likely never get up most days, never mind find a job.

Our advice, for what it’s worth – next time you’re considering putting anything at all personal online, just don’t; it’s tedious for us to read and might just stop you from snaring that big fat contract.

***

I love the “I have blind copied several people on this since may apply to many of us.” part. I’m sorry but if you have something to say to me just come out and say it instead of “blind copying” stupidly obvious “news” articles in an e-mail. Last time I checked we were all adults here, even though we are not always treated as so. And another thing, if you are stupid enough to post on the internet about your drug use you don’t deserve to have a job anyway. Compared to most people I don’t have anything to hide or anything that would freak out any future employers. The only strike against me I have going right now is anxiety from my current job which I’m told most people can’t last a month at, let alone almost six. I am not one of those people that conceals parts about myself to please others, take me as I am or GTFO. I would love to see the look on this family member’s face if they read some of the things on this blog, heh. My family doesn’t seem to even care about my regular web page so I think it’s safe to say they’d never visit this lovely space I have created, probably for the best anyway since a number of them don’t seem to take reality very well. It’s a shame people are so uncomfortable with people being themselves. End rant.

Another 95%:/ I wanted 100%, even just once. Just can’t seem to kill that perfectionist in me. Today was my Friday so I’ve got two days to prepare for our first day taking real live calls. O M G. I’m actually less nervous about it today than I have been, not sure why. I think it’s because I just want it to be over with so I don’t have to wonder how that first call is going to be. That and I laughed more today then I have in like the last 2 years put together. I nearly broke a rib! I’m glad our class is finally all coming together as a team, it feels good. I’m going to bawl like a baby when we split up. I am in the process of killing a pretty bad headache so this will be it for now. But cross your fingers for us all on Tuesday!

But today is the first day in a while I’ve been so frustrated, angry and upset I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry, so naturally, I did both. I desperetely need Valium! It wasn’t just one thing that happened and then I freaked out a little and got over it. No, it was the entire damn day that sucked monkey nuts. Even when I was laughing with my friends I still felt the urge to completely flip out and start throwing things, like a small child throwing a tantrum. I’m not even sure why. Ok, so I had a nightmare that was work related. Well, that happens more often than not, so nothing new there. Yes, I felt horribly tired when I woke up and just wanted to never get out of bed. Again, really not a new occurance. I hate feeling like this, but what I hate even more is not knowing why I am feeling this way. Nothing new that hasn’t been happening everyday for a while is going on, so, WHAT  THE  FUCK?!?! I’ll tell you what, as soon as that health insurance kicks in (assuming I haven’t been fired yet) I’m finding a damn doctor that will give me some Valium for days like this. I can’t stand feeling like there is molten lava spewing out of my eyes and mouth and anyone that crosses my path is going to get burned. I’m talking third degree here ok, serious business.

lava

We are approaching the halfway point in training at my new job. As with anything it has it’s ups and downs. I have met some really awesome people, so that’s cool. Going into this job I had my doubts if I could hack it or not, still do. Only time will tell I suppose. I try to be positive and remember my other jobs that I picked up quickly and did well in. Then I remember that this is completely different than anything I’ve done. I’ve done each component of the job before, but not really all at the same time while dealing with big expectations and time constraints. So far we’ve managed to only need to go out drinking one time in 3 weeks, although we are planning an outing tomorrow night I believe due to today being payday (first one in a year for me) and tomorrow being our “Friday”. I haven’t been spending too much time even near the computer since I started working. I come home brain dead and tired and just want to lay down and not have to think about a single thing. Everyday in training is a massive “data dump” to my brain but I’m told it will all come together and even though I feel like nothing is sticking around in that head of mine it’s just hiding and will come out when needed. Here’s hoping! Off to the store to get some tomatoes and onions for our “sandwich” potluck tomorrow.
