Today in the office I feel like I’m in no man’s world. It is so so quiet. DB and I texted and asked how’s it going for me at work. Told him it’s just silence wherever I turn to in the area. No one around and he asked are people off for the weekend. I [...]
Since I started working in this company, I have received some very nice, good quality service anniversary gifts. I received a Shaeffer ball-point pen on my 1st year, a Nikon binoculars for my 3rd year, a heavy duty dart board for my 5th year and a clock for the mantel on my 10th year. The [...]
That’s the file room where I started off as a File Room Custodian…..Custodian sounds so much like a janitor!! I worked in this room practically all by myself with very very little supervision. Actually, the first file room was a very very old room. Dark and dingy and smells very musty. The picture above is [...]
Something really unexpected happened yesterday at work. Yesterday at work was just another day where Ms E and I went along with our day. Ms E had to leave middle of the day to the cities to get some things done. When she came back I didn’t get to speak to her coz I was [...]
My coworker, Ms E and I thought HR’s lay offs are done with, but it’s still happening. Scary for us we thought, our group. Some of the few folks who received the unfortunate news are fine since they were ready for retirement anyways. What’s more, they will receive two checks at the same time – [...]
The HR area I’m in is located in an “enclosed” area. There is a private room with a phone, which is for HR use only, for us folks who sit in open cubes who wants to make private and personal calls. Since this private room is right at the entrance to the HR area, there are [...]
Yesterday was one of the days I have worked the longest hours at Corrine’s; from 10:30 a.m. through 9:45 p.m. She had no one to work the evening shift. So I picked it up. Earn extra pocket money. Good thing I slept in on Saturday morning and didn’t walk the boys. If I did, I [...]
This is not the best picture. The person sitting in the cube is Ms E. That cube is my cube and I took this picture from the big boss’ office. Yes, he is the big brother, staring out of his office right into my cube. And the big boss even asked me to get privacy [...]
DB and I talked about moving again this morning. It all started with how much the state of Minnesota is giving away for welfare ($250K a week), and me looking for a different job out of my department, and the crappy weather that is the chill that goes right into his old bones. He still wants [...]
July 4 holiday is day after tomorrow, Friday. Majority of the folks in the office are gone – vacationing somewhere up north in their cabins, and one lady I know drove from Wisconsin to Montana/Wyoming to the Yellowstone National Park. Today is quieter than yesterday. There were about 13 of us in the office yesterday, but [...]
April is also the time for annual reviews. I almost forgot about it till last Thursday morning my boss told me she wanted to do my review in the am because she needs to take her mom for her colon cleanser treatment. That should be fun… Anyways, wow, I was telling myself, one year past by [...]
That’s the time of the year again. All employees received an email last month to remind them of the deadline when we need to complete and submit our self-evaluation to our managers. January 11 is the deadline. Boss came over yesterday and told me to get my self eval out soon. To be honest, I [...]
I just found out while I was filling out my online time card that my vacation and sick time balances were all f’ed up big time. It showed that I owe the company vacation and sick times which is so damn wrong. By right I should have 5.25 hours left for sick and 16 hours left [...]
New Year’s eve, I’m at work and I think this is the first time I’m working on a New Year’s eve. There’s only four poor souls in the office. When I came in at 6 am, there was only Kris and she was on a conference call already. Then Karen came in. Today is her [...]
