Eclipsed Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My partner in crime, Liz, who was hired same day as me, went through the same training, and together joined the elite Kaiser Kounters, finally quit(?). She's been no call no show for the past week. I is a bit sad, cuz that officially means that everyone I became well-acquainted with over the past year since I've started is gone, and now I'm the old guy. The Rooke.

LiquidShu Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Video games seem to give me some pretty bad anxiety out of the blue, considering putting everything but SF away for quite some time, maybe even selling it. Also going to make an appointment with a psychiatrist or some shit like that. Also also looking to hit 2k posts on the 25 of May, marking my two years, woot.

Shikomizue Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 13 hours ago, tymmur said: Me too, though I would say more like half. Usually a post dies if I get some sort of "writer's block" and can't get the post to say what I planned or if I wrote it and then take a look thinking "what did I do? It is nowhere near what I planned. I wouldn't want to read that if somebody else wrote it". There is a Japanese saying "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". In this case it is "don't post garbage" I third this for the same reasons, though, it's probably less than half for me. Although, may I question why you're quoting a post from 2014...?

I started reading from the start to figure out what the newly found thread was all about. I figured it was spot on and decided to quote it rather than just writing the very same thing. The date did make me consider if I should quote it or not. Another confession: I didn't read the entire thread. I got bored after just two pages It did serve the purpose just fine though. I could read the last page while knowing the concept of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 So my new job starts Monday. Or does it? I've been emailing the coordinator this week about why I haven't heard much from them for a while, and earlier today got the response "Oh, we have your start date down as May 2nd." I responded within 5 minutes with basically: "Well, look, I don't really care, but you bought me plane tickets to go down to corporate HQ for orientation on April 25th, not May 2nd, so... what should I do?" 4.5 hours later, still no response. Still debating whether I should get on the plane on Sunday or not, assuming I don't hear anything else. Probably time to engage a more responsible contact there who isn't telling me bizarre things, but seriously, late Friday is not the time to drop that kind of shit on me and then go silent. Edit: More responsible contact is on the mail thread already and hasn't responded. RIP my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the Barber Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 They responded again after I basically asked "so, should I get on the plane or not?" with "yeaaaaaaah, if you could just rebook your tickets for next week, that'd be great."

I tried getting yelled at for not doing what the boss wanted me to do, but forgot to tell me. It was the last day before vacation started and I was forced to work full time the entire vacation. Actually way more hours than that and as a nice bonus, it was unpaid. On the first day after the vacation, I showed up to declare "I quit" and handed over keycard and stuff like that. Naturally I was busy during the vacation to get something else elsewhere (meaning I didn't quit to nothingness) as well as figuring out how I could quit without announcing it in advance. I would love to tell what happened next, but I have no idea because I have never heard from them again. Within a week I started going to the new place and I spent the next month or so being happy every morning because I would go to a place where people would be nice to each other and nobody were yelling or tried to shift blame to other people. I never thought that what I used to think as normal would suddenly feel like a luxury. I spent a few months in that hellhole, but it was an invaluable learning experience of what to avoid.

arakura Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I really dislike sending emails. People have this weird habit of not responding to my emails. "Just email this person and ask for information" -> nope, we're just a joke of an office Assignment randomly not graded? Email TA? Check. Get response? No, that'd be too easy. We're going to ignore you after probably losing your assignment. Stuff like this seems like it happens to me all the time. It's disgraceful when people who consider themselves to be responsible are just so... Disappointing. But whatever, I'm probably overreacting. I'm tired but I kind of feel like ranting about how sucky our abroad office is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, sounds like something worth ranting about. If they're screwing you over academically because they can't organise their shit together, that'd annoy me too.
