That sounds very stressful, askye! I'm glad customers are mostly behaving well and wearing masks.

Soybeans + bowtie pasta + lemon infused olive oil as a sort of warm salad is pretty delicious, y'all! Lunch is a success.

That does sound good!

So after weeks and weeks, Husband didn't get the job.

That really sucks. I was hoping to help the sanity balance of Florida!

I'm so furious that you have been forced back to work, askye.

Indeed. There needs to be some kind of balance. Phlebotomist I was talking to today was complaining that his patients seem to be one extreme or the other. They either think it is all a hoax and resent masks and closings, or they cancel their appointments and are refusing to leave the house until a vaccine is available. He seemed to appreciate me being in a more sensible middle.

You already have a nemesis, msbelle? That seems fast

Listen. I've been there 2 months. Maybe this person will not be a long-time nemesis, but with this current project they are.

They sent over approx 250 forms to me - NOT ELECTRONICALLY, physical forms. They sent old style ones (26 pages) and some new ones (10 pages). Most of the new ones they sent over they also sent with a now unnecessary 2nd form that is 3 more pages.

Some of the forms are single sided, some are double. Most were not stapled, just paper clipped, so some got loose and I've had to try to match things up. They were in NO ORDER, not by department, not alphabetical.

AND the thing that makes me absolutely crazy about them not scanning them in is this. I am not the last signature needed on these docs, they have to get one more department to sign off, so I have to scan all of them in now.

every day I get between 10 and 20 of the electronically that I have to mark as approved and send off for the last approval. I also have to email each employee once the final approval is received, maintain an electric file for all of these and maintain a spreadsheet. This person like tripled the amount of work I have to do one this one thing I am tracking, (I am tracking like 4 other COVID related things and supposed to be starting project management stuff on one project).

Timelies all!

That sounds really aggravating, msbelle.

You've been there two months already? Huh. Nemesis does seem as good a descriptor as any, that's pretty awful. Maybe they are an energy vampire.

I was mostly impressed with your efficiency in getting your nemesis pegged so quickly!

The last half hour of my work day was a department-wide conference call that was supposed to fill us in on some information and express appreciation for us. What it mostly did was piss me off. Trying very hard to let that go so I can actually relax for the weekend, or at least stress about my own shit and not work...

Just got am email from Supervisor asking everyone to have their time sheets in by 3pm today. Except we have an electronic timeclock and I'm not off (therefore can't clock out) until 4:15. SMDH

My email to as of yet unmet nemesis today (becuase today I got at least 50 of these damn things in an envelope) was basically, "Hey, was I not clear before? Is it possible for you to scan these in to me and not send hard copies? Here is my process.....mention having to scan them in. THANKS!"

That's so silly! I mean, surely your supervisor knows what kind of system you have. At my job we can approve time sheets whenever.
