Well, I've never seen it this bad, but close....
It has been a crazy week. Work has still been weird, although it has settled down a bit. I still haven't seen hide nor hair of my raise, and the OM said that we are each to spend a few minutes with the Docs, in some kind of apparent review process. Which surprises me as they usually pass the more uncomfortable moments of management to the OM. I think she doesn't want to handle it either, or she told them that we really need to hear from them. I don't give a crap. I just want my raise to show up on my check. It's already been over 30 days.
Last weekend I was forced to attend "grey area training" at UNM or face a hold on my academic status ~ meaning I wouldn't be able to register for summer classes, and possibly a hold on my grades. This is all due to the fact that I'm taking two classes, and anyone with 6 credit hours per semester is required to take the class. All staff, employees, professors, etc have to take the training, so I really don't understand why students with less than 6 hours are not required. Maybe because most take classes online? I don't know. It was OK. I can see the idea behind it. They did show a funny video about "tea" which was a euphemism for sex. Here's a link if you want to view it ~ I tried to download the video, but it just wouldn't. One lady who was close in age to me told me she attempted to have herself exempted, but it wasn't approved. I told her I didn't even try. Age is not a reason to be exempted. Well, anyway, that's two hours of my life I'll never get back.
I had another paper due this week as well, and next week is spring break, so a little down time is coming up. I just need to complete the quiz due today, which I'll do this afternoon.
I did attend a lecture sponsored by the Journal of Anthropological Research last night....I thought it would be more detailed, but it had been generalized for the public. So, another 2 hours of my life gone.
I took a few days off this week, but why didn't I think of the time change? I should have done it next week! Drat!
Hahaha
Love, 365
That would concern me being overdue for 30 days. Is she passing this off because it is bad news and she doesn't wish to tell it? I hope not! My mind went to a bad place. I'm sorry. It's been that kind of week in my world. I LOVE this meme. I wish we would go to Daylight savings time and just STAY put! Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteNo, she told me I was getting a raise, but I'm a bit confused as to why it's taking so damn long to show up on my check. If it was approved (which she told me it was) then why the wait? I guess I'll get to ask her next week.
DeleteI agree, why not just stay on DST? 98% of people I talk to about it think the same. It's kind of cruel to put working people through a loss of an hour every year...I don't care about eventually getting it back! It takes me no less than a week to adjust to the loss of that stupid hour :-(
We need DST to know when to change the batteries in all our alarms...which I don't do anyway, so yeah lets get rid of that stupid system.
ReplyDeleteGiven the loss of productivity of the workforce & the studies that confirm it......I agree!
DeleteSpeaking of spring, it is going to snow here tonight in Kentucky lol. Sorry for my long absence, and I hope you are having a good weekend!
