Faaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

I swear.

I suppose that's obvious.

Haha, I've had a potty mouth most of my life... and so does Eric.

I was talking about that with my mom one time and I commented, "Eric can't even refer to a pine tree without the F word."

Two beats, then she said cluelessly, "Doesn't Eric like pine trees?"

I have laughed over that one many times.
I'm snickering now, actually.

Doesn't Eric like pine trees... lololol.


But what I mean is, 'I swear, it's one damn thing after another' or something like that.
SO.
Frustrated.

Apparently I'm getting the storage I asked for 'sometime' this week.
Not as worried about the actual day as the fact that it's actually been said. In writing. An email was sent to the principal to confirm, I was copied on it.

So now I won't have to rage quit over that.

But I don't work for a company that misses opportunities to aggravate me and we've moved on to the next fucking thing.

Vaccinations.

I got mine as soon as I could. Went to the Oregon Convention Center, joined the line of people wending and winding their way through in mid-February, did it again a few weeks later and had the 2nd dose by March 9th.

Not only do I have co-morbidities, I had already figured out that no one would be allowed to work in public schools without it and dammit, I love(d) my job.

I was right about the rule. No vax, no job.

So it wasn't a big deal when I started my new job, I'd already been vaxxed and waxed and all that. Gave a copy of my certificate to the manager person and I've been at my job about six weeks now.

So let me backtrack here... our company no longer has an HR department, what we have is an online 'service' (now that's a funny fuckin' way to describe it) where we clock in and out and can view our stuff in one place.

We were told last week that we needed to visit the website and upload a copy of our certificate to them.

The next email gave us detailed instructions on how to do that.
I sat down at my computer SEVEN TIMES over the past week and tried to do what they'd requested. I'm not a programmer or an IT person, but I can usually make the computer do what I need it to do. I don't ask my computer or my phone or my tablet to do anything like manual labor, though.

So we've received a few more emails in the interim. The tone became more and more threatening, with the latest notification that 'if you don't do this then you won't be scheduled to work on Monday'.

Dafuq?

I got my goddamn shot. I have the paper to prove it. But because YOUR system is shit, I am being warned that I might not be able to work on Monday the 18th?

Well fuck you very much!

If we had an actual HR department, which we DID until the pandemic and new CEO, we'd be invited to the office to work on this issue and helped rather than being threatened like children.

I know the answer to this already... but does a company who pulls shit like that actually value the people who contribute life and limb and heart and soul to their bottom line?

Like I said, fuck you very much.

I need to rethink my whole life now, so if you'll excuse me...
