Co-worker (a girl): I got a memo from Facebook, listen: “International Women’s Day is approaching!”
Me: nice
Co-worker: “Let your girl friends know you’re thinking about them!”
Me: I’m thinking about them alright.
Co-worker: ugh, why would I think about _girls_
Me: …
Co-worker: why does nobody talk about international men’s day anyway?
Every time I talk to my mum about LGBT+ stuff I get this itch to come out to her but she said it would “hit her hard” if I was anything but straight and I’m like ABORT ABORT ABORT
nothing makes me happy anymore and im running out of distractions lmao
oh my god someone help me im looking for an online game from quite a few years back (2010-2012-ish?) that was this 2D winter themed platformer but also like an advent calendar cause every day more levels got revealed and you had to traverse through this calendar that had this picture of a road going through different areas so every few days you got into a new area and there was a snowy one, an icy one, one in a forest, I even remember a lava area, I don’t know what your character was unfortuntely. I want to say penguin but I’m not sure.
Anyway the site is supposedly still up but the game can’t be played anymore aND I WANT TO FIND THE GAME. It had adventure or winter or something in the name.
Super useful, I know.
I’ve remembered it for the longest time but I can’t anymorrrrre.
Legit she just came to my table, took back the list of all the people with contracts she gave me earlier, shook her head and said “everybody needs new numbers not just the people whose contracts end”.
WHY THE FUCK YOU GAVE ME FOUR NAMES TO GET NEW NUMBERS FOR THEN YOU ABSOLUTE IMBECILE
I’m literally on the verge of breaking down crying because of how angry I am.
How stupid can one person think you are?
Let’s start by saying that I’m in charge of administration tasks regarding our workers like days off, sick leaves, yadda-yadda. Our program runs from last March till the end of this February. So when February ends everybody has to have used up all their mandatory days off and every paper has to be in order.
Except the software we use to register days off calculates days off from last March till the end of last year and then calculates them again for these two months. So it’s, let’s say 15 days for last year and then 3 more for these two months.
So I go to register everybody’s three days so their contracts (including mine lol) can be suspended tomorrow when the program ends. Except when I click on “calculate this year” it says a bunch of people are bringing a bunch of unused days off from last year to this year. I check once I check twice I check ten fucking times, but everybody used all their days off last year, it says in the software that everybody had ZERO days off left on December 31st so what’s this bullshit about?
Turns out since some of the days off last year were registered this year’s January, it reducted the number of days registered from last year but it also added it to days brought over to this year since they weren’t registered last year. So people would end up with 20+ days off instead of the total of 18 days off.
This of course happened because when my co-worker said she’d register them when she comes in the office on December 28th and I wrote her a list of what days to register she fucking didn’t do it and I had to do it when I came to work on January 4th.
All morning I tried to figure out what’s happening, I logic’d my way to the explanation but still had no idea how to solve it. My co-worker who’s supposed to help me and who’s technically my superior and supervisor fucking pissed on my head all day not willing to answer one question of mine but still insisting that I should get it done until tomorrow otherwise she won’t be able to suspend the contracts (which she was complaining about all day long that she has so many of them to do even though I offered to do it for her twice and she rejected it both times of course, just so she can fucking whine about it later instead of helping me out -.-).
Alright I figured it out, by the way. Another co-worker at least listened to me and tried to help because she’s familiar with the software because she and my asshole co-worker actually had a training to use this software whereas I did not.
Alright, moving along.
The workers who will not be re-employed will also have to have another like… file number or whatever, those who have their contract renewed stay on the same number so the filing software can continuously register their shit but those who end their contracts here have to have a new number which is essentially a new file to say they ended their contract forever.
So my co-worker tells me a list of names that have to have a new number. She stands behind me, I write them up I tell her “so these five names?” she says yes.
A few hours later she asks me to list the names back to her so I do and after the first name she goes, absolutely horrified at how stupid I am “why would he need a new number?” I say, cause you said he did. And she fucking insists she didn’t. It was the first fucking name she said she was standing right behind me! I asked her to confirm it!! “His contract isn’t even with us, why would he need a new number?” She asks me looking at me like I’m the biggest fucking idiot in the world. “I don’t know, you said his name.” To which she says “Ugh, I’m certain I did not, okay?!”
Okay well fuck you, you self-important stupid fuck.
I literally just went to order takeaway to our local restaurant in person because I hate making phone calls. I went there to order it then I came back home and when they call me I’ll go there again by foot to bring it home just to avoid having to order on the phone.
