So today’s the day. I am officially going back to work tomorrow and it really sucks. I thought for some reason that if I was away from the place for a week or so that I would stop disliking it so much and I would end up going back in a much better and refreshed mood; not so. Instead I’m faced with the ever growing realization that I truly hate my job. It’s not just a job where I go there and I think that it sucks, it sucks even when I’m not there. Now not only do I have to go back after being gone for eight days but I have to go back to a shithole that didn’t even have a proper replacement for me while I was gone. I usually have someone that does my job while I’m gone, and even though she doesn’t have all of the training she can get it done without too many problems. So last Thursday when my load was coming in was she scheduled to work it? No, of course not; she was working that day as a cashier and they took a cashier that hasn’t even done HBC for over 20 years and threw her into my department. Well that’s fucking genius if I ever saw it. Let’s take someone who hasn’t done the job in a long time and give her absolutely no brush ups and just set her free into the department and let her figure it out as she goes. So I have that wonderful scenario to walk into tomorrow. I also have the overwhelming feeling that I’m going to walk off the job sooner than later. I’m not all for the walking off the job thing but I’ve only played it out in my mind about five times a day for the last few days. I think if I did walk out I wouldn’t even feel bad about doing it which is a change from roughly a year ago. On the plus side I did check into schooling for Web Site Development while I was on vacation and I am almost positive that I will be going to school this fall. Let’s cross our fingers anyway.
I think I said something the other day that I was going to bitch about my lame ass cellular service that I’m getting from Cellular One. Here’s the deal on all that noise. Not even a year ago now I started having my calls getting dropped on my digital cell phone and when I went in to complain I was given this schpiel about the newest technology called GSM. According to the slick sales bastards the GSM was the newest craze and it would be totally replacing the digital within two years. They also said that as they were moving people from digital plans to GSM plans they would be able to dedicate more tower power to GSM. So anyway I get my new phone back in April and the first time I talked on it I could have swore that the person I was talking to was under water. It didn’t get much better beyond that. I know at least five other people that have this plan; all with different phones and all with the same problem. The problem is that Dobson Cellular One’s GSM service sucks major ass. Your calls will just drop out for no real reason, if the other person just happens to be on the same plan good luck hearing more than every third word out of their mouth. This is some bullshit contract that I am now supposed to keep for up to two years even though the service is not up to par. You know, I liked Dobson’s, I really did. They are the only service I’ve had since I’ve had a cell phone back when I got my first analog phone. The only other time I had this problem is when I had a Mitsubishi cell and it sucked ass. I switched back to my Nokia and it was fine. Now of course since I know of at least five people all with different phones having this problem, the phone itself is obviously not the problem here… it’s the company and their shitty service. If I had the ambition I would bring a class action lawsuit on their sorry asses. I know of five people that would sign on.
Oh yeah, fuck you groundhog.
