I gotta look busy again.
It honestly doesn't look as though I do anything all day here, does it?
I was reading through yesterday's entries alone... three LONG entries. One of them a mild tear-jerker (for me anyway). That's a lotta time out of my day. But I find myself needing to zone out here every once in a while.
We were told yesterday that AM wasn't coming back on a full-time basis. Apparently there was a 'misinterpretation' (read: RF has fucked up yet again) of comments being passed back and forth. This afternoon, we were told that she wasn't coming back at all due to MyCompany's inability to facilitate her needs. Any help that we get on the helpdesk here is a huge relief. Even if it was just for a couple of days a week.
Now we are faced with the scarey reality of training some completely new person while trying to deal with two full-time, up-to-speed hotliners going mad because they aren't getting the assistance they need to keep up - ie, KG and myself.
I ask you, where is the justice in this?
For some utterly stupid reason, the MotherCompany, whose umberella we have the dire misfortune to be under, whose coffers are full of the glittering gold stuff, will not provide funding for extra staff for MyCompnay. Nor (and this is the second punchline) will they do salary reviews this year. So here I am, hoping that a) we'd get some new helpers on hand and/or b)get a payrise for having to deal with all the crap that's dished out in oh so liberal amounts here, and I now know that it's just not going to happen - for anyone, let alone me.
It's not fair!!! *stomps foot*
Anyway. I've just realized I finall understand CSS enough to actually put together my own style sheets. Congrats to me. Yay.
Blatant attempt to change the subject which failed miserably. Oh well. Too bad it didn't make me feel any better.
And I've just been told by SK, who hasn't been feeling well for a number of days, that he doesn't think he'll be going to the camera club meeting tonight. Bugger. I won't go if he doesn't. As nice as those people are (and they are), I hate going to places that he's organised us to be members of when he's not able to go. I need someone to hold my hand.
*is forced to grin*
I am currently (as I type this) am having the most amusing (if not somewhat strange) conversation with Nessa via email.
Transcript:
Nessa: (after I send her a message detailing what I plan on doing with her website)
yes yes yes me like both those ideas...........more so the Taeda story........poor fucking fairy will die of old age before her stories told ! *grin*
Me: *L* Poor fae. So neglected. Mind you, I've left her staring at some major eye-candy. (at the point in the story I'm up to now, Taeda is staring at the hero's willy)
Nessa: I know...........it must be torture for her.
Me: I'll work on it some more, I promise.
Nessa: Dont worry, I'll keep nagging you.............*grin*
Me: *LOL* I WILL get there, honest.
Nessa:: as long as its before I die
Me: If not... I'll just have your body exhumed and I'll read by candlelight to your corpse.
Nessa: Gee, nice image!
Me: You won't care. You'll be dead. You wont have to put up with the:
a)maggots
b)smell
c)general scariness of being in a freakin' cemetery at night with a CORPSE.
Nessa: BUT I WILL.........CAUSE I WILL BE THERE IN SPIRIT...........AND PROBABLY CRYING CAUSE OF HOW BAD I LOOK.........BUT ON THE PLUS SIDE, I'LL BE THE SKINNEST IVE EVER BEEN !*GRIN*
*rolls eyes* My lovely aunty is a nutter.
