Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:33:06 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.10 Yes, I’d like some cheese with my whine :D https://imaginarysunshine.com/index.php/2009/08/05/yes-id-like-some-cheese-with-my-whine-d/ https://imaginarysunshine.com/index.php/2009/08/05/yes-id-like-some-cheese-with-my-whine-d/#comments Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:33:06 +0000 http://imaginarysunshine.com/?p=2542 I should correct myself from yesterday’s ‘I-hate-people-esque’ type of entry…

I’m not exactly working in a group. See, my supervisor/boss-type-figure hired 2 people (whom have worked with the company before) to create a program for work (I am not actually doing any of the programming). I collect the data and tell them how things should look. So, in other words, I basically give them the little gold stars (or okays) to say that something is a-okay and done. In other words, they do the work, tell me that they’re done, I proofread all the documents (… all 20+ of them!) and come back with a list of ‘issues’ that need to be resolved. ASAP. They hate me, they really do. Because all I ever have is bad news.

Occasionally I heart my job. Until I get told that I’m supposed to invite myself to a meeting with people that I don’t actually know. Yay, work.

I’ve decided to clean up my room a bit today and I have toys arranged on my window sill now. I have a bunch of small 80s plastic toys lined up, some more modern-ish toys (not that I’m saying that 80s is incredibly old…. or anything). I need to take a photo of that soon. So my window sill looks great (at the moment) since I dusted it and all… Plus, my craft supplies ‘section’ of my room is looking rather neat too. The rest of my room? Not quite…It’s a bit of a disaster zone. I want to get it all nice and clean before school starts (… the only time my room’s ever cleaned?). So more clean, more crafting. Whoot, whoot?

Anyways… I do have a hypothetical question for you all!

If you had a sudden small windfall of $500 (USD or CAD or € or £ or whichever currency you use) that you are required to spend on anything you want (that is not rent, bills, debts, etc) and cannot be saved for emergencies or in a bank account… What would you spend it on?

Just curious in what you’d all spend a teeny tiny fortune on.

Hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday – the weekend’s almost here, yay! I am so ready to be done work this week… It’s rather sad, considering I had Monday off too. Ahh well. And I realize that I kinda bitch and complain about having plans all weekend long but I really want to do something this weekend! I only have 5 more until school starts so… -crosses fingers- I think I want to go to the aquarium this weekend. Now just to find someone to go with!

Work sucked today https://imaginarysunshine.com/index.php/2009/08/04/work-sucked-today/ https://imaginarysunshine.com/index.php/2009/08/04/work-sucked-today/#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:41:57 +0000 http://imaginarysunshine.com/?p=2540 If I had to write up something about why I should get paid for the hours that I worked today, I would mention the fact that I proofread coding in the databases at work, the fact that I was triple-checking the coding done by two people who graduated from a school with degrees in computer science and should actually know how to spell things like “ejection” and “pressure” and “temperature”. I’ve been working on this project since May, on and off (but lately it’s been on), and while I realize that I’ve contributed data collection and super-proofreading skills… My little baby’s not ready to be out and about and being used (it’s a program). Mostly because people fail and can’t spell and things don’t print properly.

It’s been an incredibly long work day… I literally spent my entire afternoon looking at coding. Talk about learning on the job…

How was your Tuesday today? Do anything exciting?
