I wonder if all those fucking Russian pharmacy socks or the Nigerian Cell Phone scammers have anything to do with it? Does anyone else check out the who's online link? The guest accounts usually outnumber the regular users by 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 most of the time.

FUCK! My interview is tomorrow morning at 10:30, and I am already getting myself nervous! And I found out AFTER arriving that two of the three interviewers is actually going to be here rather than interviewing over the telephone! If I had known I would have packed my fucking Department of Motor Vehicles BLAZER!!! Actually, even without the interview I wish I'd have packed it-- the AIR CONDITIONING HERE IS FUCKING FREEZING!!!!!

If they're any fucking decent at all, they should be cool with it.

I got a job last fucking october, and when I was talking to the last interviewer (the fucking HR guy) I mentioned 'oh yeah I already got my Xmas plane ticket home bought, and I won't be around for 2 weeks at the end of the year' and they were all appreciative about the early heads-up.

Makes you look all upright and honest and stuff, instead of like a fuckin' weasel.

You just have to put everything into perspective. There's only one BURN to participate in but there are millions of fucking jobs.

There is an advantage to being poor. My best year to date involved 10 months in a sleeping bag.

They already know about the fucking vacation request-- the interview is for another job/promotion in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation/Department of Motor Fucking Vehicles. I would be getting another US$2/hour, and still be fucking underpaid! (Only a little more than US$14/hour to take people out on the road to see if they can drive :?: :!: :shock: FUCK :!: )

...and FUCK! I just looked at my approved time off, and Monday the 28th is NOT on the list?!! :? I must have somehow left it off the request?!?

And FUCK! There are 3 or 4 people working in the DOT with the same name as my acting supervisor, and when I sent a private email to them asking if there is any way possible to get the 28th of August off, one of them, who wasn't my supervisor, replied back to the whole fucking team to tell me she wasn't the right one, and quoted my whole fucking message!!!

Anyway, the interview seemed to go okay, but I don't know if it went well enough for me to be one of the people chosen (out of the 20) to fill one of the six openings.

personally I don't view those papers as "leave requests" but a statement that I "WILL NOT BE AT WORK" and for the office to plan accordingly.

Hey BAS, Hope you got the fucking job!!!

I just went through a dozen fucking hoops to qualify for a promo interview myself (also with DOT, tho not in Wisconsin) and I can bet sure as shittin' (a) the interview will be right before a fucking payday (and 230 miles from here), (b) they'll hire me with a start date of... say... August 28th, and (c) right after I start, the location I have been waiting to open up will, and they will tell me "Gee, we were hoping to promote you HERE, but you took the job THERE, so sorry..." About fucking right.

Don't knock a 2 buck raise, tho. I remember a guy years ago (management, on salary) who *finally* got his annual raise, it was kinda meager, but he said "Well, at least it's not a quarter an hour." After talking about it, he then worked it out on an (unrealistic for us 40 hour week) -

24.2 cents an hour.

Yep, he was right - wasn't a fucking 2 bit raise... >wince<

Good fucking luck, hon.

Well, it might very well have been my own fucking fault with regards to August 28th-- the fucking calander for my fucking day planer starts the week with MONDAY, instead of SUNDAY! So it is possible I didn't notice when I put in the request. :x

Now I gotta wait until my substitute supervisor gets a chance to reply. Right now she is not only filling in for our supervisor as well as supervising her own station-- she is also filling in for the Driver's Licensing Trainer who is up here filling in for our Registration Trainer.... :?

Hey, which state?! (I'm going to guess California....) Well, the $2.00/hour raise wouldn't be bad-- it might make up for our 1% raise everyone got when the contract finally got settled earlier this year.

Well, I probably should think about getting back to (fucking) work.

FUCK

One of the local girls from the town where I live was crushed to death by her horse, and no one knows how the fuck it happened. I didn't know her but she would come up to the pub where I work for lunch every now and again. She was only fucking 21.

It just fucking shows you, when its your time to go there is fuck all you can do about it.

Yep - California. DOT. Our DMV is (semi)-separate, which is good, except that means different bargaining units, which means you got the same jobs in dif depts getting different payscales.

Then you have us non R&F people (Supervisors and above) who get paid on the Governor's Whim. Means the workers can get paid more than the supervisors, which happens in places (some operators and painters get more than a superintendent - man, am I in the wrong field!!), and if there's a budget shortfall, they can go after *our* pay. Almost happened a couple times, where we could have been dropped to (a) federal Minimum Wage, or (b) work for nothing, because we're telling you to. Yeech. (Fucking lackeys!!!)

HUGE hugs to Zoom... man what a fucked up spot to be in!!! One of my swing shift anchors called in with Babysitter problems. Eggbeater Scramble filling his shift!!

ANd to Mojo... a set of earplugs. That way you can sit there, smile, nod your head knowingly... and not hear a fucking thing!! >giggles<

ANd horses... Man, noogin, I'm so sorry. I like horses, but trust them as far as I can throw them. Usually it's the other way around, tho, so the feeling must be mutual. Think I'll stick to motorcycles, airplanes, and fast cars.

But yeah - when the higher power tells you it's time to go home, you don't get a chance to fuck around - you go. And it fucking sucks. But then again, the HP makes the rules, not me.


Now, if I can only get some rules made at work... >heh heh heh<
