--note-- There's an introduction to this post here --/note-- In the past four weeks, there have been some issues which could be acceptable if they came one after another - but it's horrible like this: 1) After I've been on vacation, my boss' substitute [he's been on vacation, too] told me that the system we use to verify the hours we've worked says that I'm 64 hours (that's worth two weeks of work, roughly) behind schedule; I told her that this was definitely not the case and that everybody would have noticed if I hadn't shown up for two weeks. She insisted that I have to work another 64 hours to make up for this, so I filed a complaint to the federal agency for community service. On Tuesday last week, my boss learned that I filed this complaint when some guy from the Agency showed up to inquire this. well, of the 64 hours, there are now only 4 left... 2) Two weeks ago, I received a letter from the Agency telling me that they were not going to grant some special vacation I've taken in the beginning of my time of service but since I've already had this special vacation, my personnel management person decided she'd throw in my last two days of regular vacation to make up for two of these three days; on the third of these days I should have worked 4 hours. 3) There is no warm water in the flat provided to me since about 2 1/2 weeks. The landlord knows about this since 2 1/2 weeks minus one day (I told him and wrote him a letter the following day); my boss knows about this since 1 1/2 weeks and promised to do something about it "immediately". well, I've still got to take cold showers in a flat without any heating systems except for a kitchen-use water boiler and my laptop's power supply... 4) I badly needed these two days of vacation to be able to see my girlfriend for the last time this year (19 hours to get there, 19 hours to get back - wrapped around a weekend, this would have given us two days together :/). I'm not poor anymore since I'm working for the state but what good is that if I can't think of any other way to spend that much money other than enabling me to meet my girlfriend? I'd rather spend three days tramping there and another three days to get back with as many days in between as I want to instead of having the money to get there within a day but being not allowed to do so.... ....I've spent most of the time I'm back home listening to some music which usually calms me down within a minute or something but it's been hours now and I still feel like I'm gonna break some stuff tonight, maybe start a fire... at least that would get me kicked out of this community service-$h!7, sorry, stuff...

isn't there a way you could prove what hours you worked? surely there must be people who see you working that could back you up? as far as the hot water problems, is there anyone else that you could talk to about it? or is it something you can have fixed yourself? and isn't there anyway your girlfriend could come to see you if you are unable to go and see her?

since the work time-problem is kind of solved, this leaves only the water-problem... ...I'll call the agency to find out what I can do against that one without getting into too much trouble. well, maybe I can trade that in for the one or other day off - I stay quiet, my boss gives me some days off? anyways, I'll go and get my doc to give me a paper saying that I'm -from a medical point of view- unable to work for the rest of the week, which would put a lot of pressure on the place where I serve: On Thursday, one of our volunteers is going to quit her service (she's going to get a job training beginning in Octobre  ); I'm supposed to help her moving on Friday morning (well, since she's been quite nice to me, unlike some other people, I'll be glad to be able to help her) - but on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, there are some special events on our timetable. Two people are scheduled to handle both of these events, one of them is me ... guess what will happen if I can't work then? I definitely don't like to play this card but...

I work in customer service, taking orders over the phone and such. I Really don't understand

For example (I work with pizzas) oops, it was hot sprinkles, not half sauce? oops. I bet that

National Weather Service

Okay The other day the new jersey office of the Nations Weather Service put out a servere thunder

Never have I seen our NWS get a storm right! When I was growing up in Mississippi, They would

Charged For Free Customer Service To Fix Cell Phone

This is referring to my cell phone problem...the LCD screen being cracked and supposedly getting

it for LONG DISTANCE calling to order the screen. I remember them saying it was for the screen and
repair because the screen is usually $50-$70 (+repair fee). And I'm so mad that I
can't get my money back. Maybe I'm being a child about this, but you've got to see this
from my prespective (ok maybe not...)! I just feel, they could of e-mail Rogers...

I got a laptop for graduation and the internet wouldn't work. I take it to the store where I got

"But when I called you guys, the guy on the phone said that he sees this problem all the time and he
had a software that could correct the connectivity problems" They say "Um, I've never seen this
happen and we don't have that software" "But he made a specific point of mentioning, 3 times if

Bmg Music Telemarketing

Doesn't it just gall you when people are inefficient at their jobs? I received a phone
call from a woman at BMG music with a 7 free CD offer about 10 days ago. She wanted me to select a
free CD over the phone so she could send it right away. I inquired about the cost of shipping and
handling, which she said was $2.00 on this special offer. Hmm, not bad thought I since it was
usually around $3.00 or so. I asked what CDs were available to me for free choice and she said
name one. I did. She said she would send it to me with my new membership pac...

When People Come An Invade Your Community On A Website

So on Livejournal i am part of a community ( i wont say what it is, because i might "offend"
someone) and people who DON'T support what the community is about always come and bash us. But i
was thinking, them coming to our community and bashing us for our opinions (though, could be seen as
"mean") would be just like us coming to their community and bashing them for what they believe in.
Just because our community is against something, doesn't make it bad. We aren't really
bothering them by having it, they don't have to look at it. But they do, they go on ...

For years now I have been trying to get away from windows and explore other operating systems. With
all the security flaws in windows its no wonder people want to try to find something else that is
secure. So I did my research and I read a few things that said that Linux, Unix, and FreeBSD was the
way to go. So I tried my hand in it. I read the disclaimers and all that. I know that they say that
it is difficult to start out and it is totally different from windows operating systems. But what I
dont understand is why they choose to make everything so darn difficult. Yes, ...
