I'm so sorry to hear that. What a steaming load of horse shit. Gee, I guess they prefer their workers slow and unproductive. Lord knows we don't actually want to be busy as long as we LOOK like we are.

Blah. That sucks Castor. >_<

Slip me the company name. I have friends at the IRS. :jester:

But in seriousness, I hope your next employment works out better and isn't a barrel full of idiots.

I'm ok for now, but that's never a good sign. I know a few more departments I can work for, but I feel like I'm gonna be a leeching dept hopper.

My original dept was canned last month and I feel like I just got rescued for a bit only to eventually get thrown out again. Apparently, I'm just so awesome that I may work myself out of a job. :x

I already have an eye on another dept I'd like to settle in because I know there's a ton of work and I'm cool with the people there, but if it doesn't work out, I might as well move onto my plan B and let this all go.

EDIT: Got canned for good today on short notice. This fucking blows. :x :x :x :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :down: :down: :down: :down:
Man, that's pretty fucked up.

fucking insurance company took more money than they were supposed to for car insurance.

and by more i mean double. because of some clerical error involving insurance on a car that i never insured for more than fire+theft. so my account is 50$ in the hole right now. most of that money was supposed to be for groceries.

and if this was the middle of the week, i wouldn't care, i'd just call them in the morning and get them to fix the problem, refund the money, and i'd be good to go. but it's friday night, and 24-hour support can't do anything that'll get me the money before monday. hell, even the things they CAN do, don't actually guarantee me the money on monday, they're just maybes.

i need to figure something out, else this'll be one hungry weekend.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. It sucks it had to end so soon and anti-climatic.

Woke up with a terrible sore throat, headache, fever, etc. Even soup or water hurts right now. Gotta go to work in a few...and I really don't want to. Unfortunately, we have next to no employees who know my department, so I can't call off. :/

The Career Fair blew chunks. Though I'm sure the economy had something to do with that. >_>

Granted, I have 3 job offers and am not hurting, but one of the places I REALLY wanted to go work for was there, and they basically blew me off and said they weren't hiring accounting majors, despite the fact that the flyer for the career fair said they were.

And of all the things that got my resume into someone's hands was my fucking html/css expertise! Forget the 2 years of interning and 6 years of newspaper experience, it was the damn HTML/CSS thing that got them excited!
