Fuck.
I'm having second thoughts about this dispatch job, it's a lot of time-urgent work where I don't even get be that nice to customers, just brief. I'm a voice actor, and I DON'T like the character that I've being cast for. It's a job better suited to old women with sailor-trash-mouths and bitter attitudes, not a lovey-dovey sweety-pie like me. Plus my sleep dep is making me cranky.
Fuck.
My kitty's getting marginally better, but it's fucking Day 5 of this Calichee virus, and he's still pretty fucked up. He is fighting the 2x/day meds-down-the-throat event with more strength. Good fucking kitty.
Fuck.
I just applied at about a dozen work-at-home customer service jobs, and still haven't heard from the fucking local call center yet. No fucking money, bad fucking job, piss-poor job prospects.
And just about the time you thought it all sucked...
FUCK!
I'll be in my blanket fort until further notice.

Ok,

C-SPAN has not gotten back to me and I really have run out of energy looking through the archives for the video to prove the woman that did the research on G.W.'s I.Q. so I'll just look like an ass for right now till one day I find the info.

But that's ok though. Bush is still a moron.

Fuck! :evil:

Geez, stuart, that fucking sucks and it certainly doesn't sound like the best system in the world to me. It's all about money in the end, whether you pay or the insurance company pays. I'm glad you stuck with it and got the surgery you needed.

ANd I say fuck that to the house I love and want to buy because the guy is trying to sell it for double it's assessed value. What the fuck? On to the next house, viewing tomorrow hopefully...cheaper, uglier, but more fucking potential and better fucking investment as it's commercial property. I'll take over that fucking town if it fucking kills....er, wait, no.

Just reading the words "nocturnal bone pain" makes me wince. Hope you're doing better soon, AntiM.

If you were feeling better, Sensei would be tempted to make a smart-alecky remark combining the expressions "nocturnal bone pain" and "hot flashes", but I'll save that for a later time.

Do I have some serious fuckin' bedside manner, or what? Take care, babe.

I forgot to issue a minor fuck here today: driving my daughter to school this morning some dipshit rear-ended us on our own fucking road. Everybody was okay, although my daughter was scared. Luckily, I had a tube of those old-fashioned wooden beads and red-and-white string that we picked up at a yardsale for two bucks, so my little girl and I had something to play with while waiting for the cops to fill out a report. I was so pissed at the woman who nailed us, that when she tried to talk to me, I had to warn her to get back into her truck. I suppose the bright side is that her Ford or whatever the fuck it was was pretty fucked up but my Toyota just had a dent in the chrome bumper. Fuckwit, she was probably on the fucking cell phone or something. No fucking excuse for ramming into me at a fucking stop sign. I hope her insurance company fucks her but good.

Way to go Robbi!!!! (as we all go "Whew!") My job thingy is still up in the air: chance of permanent position or being fired... and, trust me, they've fired people here that didn't qualify for the permanent position. The "National Socialist" school of management, I guess.

At least they don't make us face off in a ring with battle axes and award the position to the survivor.

I'm so fucked.

About a month ago, the boss asked me if I wanted to be the EV lead for the project in Oregon. No big deal, I've had experience in this before.

So I make a project plan and report indicators. This is based upon a number of things being in place prior to starting our 'official' test run. PCI-E automation is only about 25% in place and the resource is on another project. We needed a minimum of 8 boards to start, then another 15 after a week. We got 5 (barely), one which doesn't work- and the second run of boards will be delayed. Also, the 'process' person is implenting things on the fly that take up hours of my day and are mostly useless- but are presented to upper management. And I'm the only mother fucker doing benchwork!!!

We had four silicon projects come in at the same time, and my boss said we could do it. I said we could do the one I'm on if x, y, and z are in place at the start of testing. While my boss is great, all the shit he said would be in place isn't. Which is probably why he's being removed from management. Problem is, I'm now responsible for a major clusterfuck- my schedule is totally fucked, I'm losing boards for debug, my resources are being pulled for other projects, I'm the only resource listed for 1/3 of the testing, and the 'process cunt' is asking for daily status, indicators, and ProChain updates. ProChain is a tool she pulled out her ass last fucking week! And she's using it to present to upper management, while not giving the Oregon team training in the tool and the user manual is a 160 page document that I don't have the time to read and the parts I did read are mostly pointless. It uses a fucking Microsoft Project Server back end, which I know how to fucking use- which they could have simply inputted the Project plan I sent them in the beginning (their own IT guys said this)- which I have no fucking clue how to use the front end!

In a nutshell- I'm going to look like shit due to the dependancies not being met (dependancies don't show up in ProChain) and the 'process cunt' that is using up all my fucking time with her bullshit will look great due to implementing process to a group. I'm pointing this stuff out to the project team, but it doesn't matter. I'm in a fucked position on a team that was set up to failure across four projects due to manpower issues from the start. (Yes, the other projects are in similiar straights- plus I'm spending time I don't have teaching various bench test methodology and planning methodology to other engineers that haven't done it before).

Oh yah, and did I mention that I'm fucked?

Rant over. You can now go back to your regularly scheduled program, while I watch myself get a Unsat on my job review in February.

sounds too much like the bad periods at my job, only worse.

or like the experimental course we did in college. our *teacher* not only decided not to help us, but undermined us and talked smack about us to everyone else.

she's still kissing up to me for making her look good, though.

take that, VC! all of your backhanded insults in large groups, your screaming fits, they were all for nothing!! guess who made you look good! and it was the american, after all that time you trashed me in public! ha! and now you've been eating your words ever since! muhahahaha!

oops. fuck. sorry. every now and again i get a bit carried away.

good luck rob! wish i could help!

Fucked how. Fucked as in looking bad or fucked as in getting shown the door?

Fuck the expeditor bitch. Give her ON PAPER by hand hard copy and by email return receipt requested the requirements and document that you are willing to do whatever you can in the meantime but without those resources, it will probably be late. Then copy your email off onto CDROM and take it HOME.

I fucking HATE politics.

Fucked as in looking bad and getting no raise for the fourth year in a row (first two was due to economy- last was from the lateral move and ramp up time). The door is a possibility if management starts looking for a scapegoat(s).

Anyone have a hand drill? One of the old manual type drills? I need to drill a hole in my head to let the screaming out, but I'm not feeling charitable enough to use a power drill.

All auto-trepaning must be f*ckin approved by a f*ckin panel that meets once every other f*ckin year and you have to fill out a f*ckin 30-page form in f*ckin triplicate on a f*ckin 1967 vintage IBf*cukinM Selectric. And don't f*cking forget that any radical f*cking cranian surgery is going to have f*cking consequences for me and Rian as well.

Eh, thanks for the good wishes dear thing, but I have to take this medicine with all the lovely fucking attendant side effects for FIVE FUCKING YEARS. So if anyone wonders why I'm in a bad fucking fucking whiny mood most days, well, there you have it. Fuck indeed.

Nocturnal bone pain as inappropriate and juvenile humor? oh if you must .... feel fucking free. Might as well fucking laugh about it.

Riding my motorcycle to work today and a freakin yellowjacket stung me with everything it had on my lower thigh. Now my leg is swollen, fuck. I was also stung on the other leg a couple of days earlier while riding my bicycle. And, a couple of weeks ago I was stung on my forehead while riding my bicycle. Triple fuck!!
