beansideIt's Wednesday already! We're trucking along to the end of my workweek. Here's hoping today is less frustrating than yesterday.
Yesterday, our main system suddenly decided that it did't want to work. As a result, most of the day, I couldn't make cases...which is the majority of my job. I could pull a case up, but it wouldn't attach to the order, so it was just a little free floating case that referenced nothing. Then, around 2, I couldn't even do that much, as it started throwing up an error message whenever I tried to save it, so I was completely dead in the water, just sitting there. I had to explain the issue very slowly to my boss' boss, so that was fun. Then I had to record my screen while I did it, so everyone could see how fucked up things were. My actual manager was out, so favorite manager was on duty. First he called me so I could show him the error, then an hour later, I get a message to standby, he's going to call with his boss. Yeesh. It was not a great day. Hopefully, they figured it all out overnight, so I'll be able to do my job.
Today, I have not one, but two meetings. First is for a volunteer position with the national Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group as Outreach Coordinator. It sounded interesting, and it would look good on my resume.
The second meeting is my long-delayed interview. I finally broke down on Monday and emailed HR to see if we had any further information. The very next morning I got a reply, with a half hour interview scheduled for today. It's totally the pity fuck interview. The original interview was scheduled for a full hour, and was with a manager. This one if half that, with HR. Not anything I'm expecting to go anywhere, especially after they changed all the requirements. At least it's on Teams, so I don't have to go to the office. It is going to be on camera, so I do have to get dressed and look nice, which is annoying.
The whole thing is kind of annoying, but I'm going to go through with it, and make them tell me no.
I made the best potroast last night. Slow cooker, a bag of frozen onions and peppers, some oregano, basil and rosemary, salt and pepper and a can of tomato sauce. It turned out so flavorful, I was really happy with it. Dad, of course, ate two bites and then asked for dessert. God, that annoys the fuck out of me. Lster, when I was putting him to bed, he burped and said "My compliments to the chef," and I had to really bite my tongue to ask if he meant Costco's muffins. Oh well, tonight is not my night for him, so I will go to bed early.
Two days until D&D. I have read through the module, and am ready to run it. One shots will never replace my usual games, but they're fun anyway. It's nice to know that there's resources out there for the occasional one shot. We have one more weekend without a ton of stuff on it next week, so I may run the next one in the series then. We shall see.
Okay, guess it's time to worry about getting myself together. Have a good Wednesday everyone!
