...See more I am grateful for them. Yes, their timing can be bad at times but I think it would be harder without them. They are glad that I am there and that is enough. Of course today they will be extremely happy to see me when I get home because I went to the pet store...

Unrealistic Expectations
Work & Career / by Enthenia

...See more I haven't been here in a long time. I wish I could say that things at my job have become better but that wouldn't be true.  Apparently now we get "graded" on our monthly tasks by the supervisors (six of them and nine normal people) and I got two red marks against me. One was because I got a birth date wrong (had 2000 when it should have been 2002) and one was because a report had expired although at the time I did the task, the report was valid. Did the task on 10/4 or 5, the report expired on 10/23.  I don't know if they're keeping a log and then taking it to HR (they have made threats before) but I figured out my error rate. It's 0.03%. That's not bad. I mean, I'm not a supercomputer even though I am expected to be doing numerous things at the same time.  And, if anyone recalls my past posts, I can't say anything because then I'm argumentative. I really want to leave but I can't at the moment. I can't believe I've only been there three years (feels like ten). There's no one to go to. The manager appears to have given the supervisors free reign because she's hardly in the office and there is a lot of favoritism and the supervisors are like a niche (go out for coffee together, always talking amongst themselves --usually not about work, etc ). I guess what I'm asking for is suggestions on how to beat deal with this. This is the worst workplace I have been in. We're it not that I was in the middle of pursuing a degree (brought on by this job), I would have left.

...See more What are some versions that you like, maybe even more than the original? My most noted one is "Blue Monday" by Orgy. I actually heard the original months after the cover and I did not like it.  Other covers I've liked have been: * Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson (liked the original & The Scorpions's version) * Don't You Forget About Me - Billy Idol (liked the original too) * Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm (+ original) * Ruby Tuesday - Scorpions (+ original) * The Joker - Puddle of Mudd (+ original) * Electric Avenue - Powerman 5000 (+ original) * Metro - System of a Down (+ original) I'm sure I have others but I can't think of them now.

...See more I haven't posted here in a while but something happened today which just adds to my frustration. I got lectured on paying better attention to detail because I got the digit of an ID wrong. All right but I did the report in February. It is now August and I'm getting in trouble?  Half the time I'm trying to do six things at once and I'm pretty sure my error rate is quite low. On new reports that get run I put in more details than anyone else and they want to quibble about something that was done 6 months ago?? Does anyone else have to deal with situations like this?

...See more Although she does cause frustration and loss of sleep, I don't think I'm as tense as when I got her as a gift almost a year ago. We still have at least six months to go before she fully matures but she has calmed down quite a lot. I used to feel annoyed because I didn't understand her and couldn't take her on long walks and she'd chew on a lot of things she shouldn't but I'm glad I have her.

...See more For some reason, I've been doing quite a few characters from comic strips lately. Maybe because not a lot of people know these characters. But, comic strips paved the way for comic books, animated shorts, animated films and cartoon shows  Here are some comic book/comic strip characters I've done over the past few years. How many can you recognize?

...See more I decided to go back to school because of job dissatisfaction. The company I'm with offers reimbursement for approved courses. Unfortunately, the first university I tried took two months to get the reimbursement from. So, after talking to a co-worker who was looking at programs also, I went with a university my company had an agreement with. I wanted to study data analytics but it wasn't available in the self-paced format. So, I opted for a general IT degree which would give experience with many subjects. I started in February of last year. I just submitted the last assignment for my current course and I have three more courses to go and then the final project. It hasn't been a walk in the park though. I had to rebuild a database because my hard drive died & had to get a new one. Then I had to get a new computer because something went wrong with the one that had been fixed two months prior. Then the screen on my laptop went out because something got on it but I was able to use a monitor from work and I had to get a wireless keyboard because some of the keys wouldn't respond (which was fine because I'd wanted a number pad anyway). I failed the mock Comp-tia+ one course had me take because all the acronyms confused me. Found an app that gives you practice tests and questions but I still haven't passed one (too many acronyms to keep straight). And in my current class it took me two weeks to do an assignment because I forgot to add an entry in the system directory for the computer to pull resources from  All this on top of my constant overwhelming workload at work and sporadic stress at home.  But, I got into the honors society at my university and my lowest grade so far has been a "B" so even though my current place of employment doesn't seem to believe I am making an effort and doing things correctly, I am in actuality, doing something right. I do not know what I will do once I get the degree but at least I will have more options in the future than what I currently have.
