Oct. 27th, 2003 12:20 pmIn case you wondered what things have been like lately at my job- here's one of the bigger problems. What this article doesn't clearly state is that when the agency started the call center, the stat monkeys said "in order to run this based on the expected call volume, we'll need x amount of people on the phones." The legislature, in all its wisdom, said "too bad, you'll get x-8 and like it." So the call center started out understaffed (even when we are fully staffed, if you follow me- which isn't often, since it is a stressful job and there's a fairly high turn over rate), these horrified politicians knew it, and have continued to deny the call center funds to even catch up staff-wise with the increased call volume. There was also no mention at all of the very ill-timed switch to a new entry system that took effect September first, always our busiest month, and which the workers had to learn on the fly- increasing my call times by quite a lot, and probably others by substantially more, since most people here are not computer-savvy and can't adjust as well.
The tin-foil hat contingent here thinks we're being set up for failure so that Gov.Goodhair (a pox upon his ass) can have justification to privatize. I don't even want to think about that.

Nov. 12th, 2002 01:01 pmI am so freaking sick of this job. Don't mind me, I go through this periodically. But it's boring me to death, and I sit here and surf the 'net between calls, which is getting me in the habit of checking things 1,000 times a day, which is seriously becoming a problem at home. I think I have 'net addiction.
I also have sedentary fat ass disease. I've taken to running up to the second floor to go to the bathroom (which I do at least 5 times a day) so I will get some activity, for cryin' out loud. I noticed I am getting out of breath with the least exertion, and when I sit in this chair for hours at a time my knees are stiff and achey when I get out of it. I'm too damn young to be getting arthritis.
It doesn't help that all the co-workers that happen to sit around me seem to do nothing but talk to each other (including yelling across the room to each other) about cars and relatives and TV shows all bloody day long.
Man, I'm glad it's my Friday today.

Apr. 2nd, 2002 09:14 amHey YOU in the teal Ford Expedition with the Ducks Unlimited sticker, license plate YN5-077, if I can get my hands around your fat neck I will seriously try to put as much fear into you as you put into me this morning when you almost hit my motorcycle as I was driving to work. If you get that far past your exit and there are OTHER VEHICLES occupying the space you need to be in, you had best not attempt to cut over 2 lanes of traffic to where I am, forcing me to slam on my brakes. If you had hit me, I would probably be dead and doing my best to harry you from the afterlife, you clueless asshole BASTARD!!!
