OMG - it IS small world!!

Especially w/ the internet

Tuesday I get an email from a strange addy w/ the subject line of Okami, asking if it was a good email addy for Okami... which was my handle on many BBS & websites in the mid-late 90s.

Turns out it was SYPDER from Crystal Quill!!!! Who I'd lost touch with after he was deployed overseas for USAF. And as we only had a few mutual friends outside the board, I'd lost track of him.

Lo & behold, he was in the DC area for a work-related seminar, and viola! Got together for dinner, and talked. We each filled in on who we'd kept in touch with, or had heard about. He hadn't changed overly much, since it had been eleven years since he'd left.





Talk about funny!

OMFG - RANT ON!! (PT job)

• F*$%$^&#$%@#$ company didn't get my 24 hrs called in for DDeposit *TWO* weeks ago. (7/11)
• I get 1 check last Tuesday for partial hours. (and I wasn't the only one whose hours weren't reported by the acct mgr)
  
• Another had to be cut for the rest... "should have by Tuesday" (7/15). - There was differing info if I would get paid for them (training)
  
• I call Mgr last week say: I don't have.
• Thursday (7/16): I have your check in hand. I will mail it to you. (hence I should have in my mailbox Fri or Sat)
• Wed (7/23) night: shook ALL mail from prior week out, no check.
• Thur 7/24: Leave msg. Get call back thurs pm : I have your check in my hand - never mailed.
• Fri 7/25 - TWO weeks late!! - I have on my desk this am, go to cash (drawn on PNC - NOT my usual bank nor on my way to lunch or my bank) - that Acct = BoA account... so a NEW check has to be cut - which "although we don't normally do this" is going to be DHL'd out - and I should have in hand Monday.
  

I am out 1.5 hrs of lunch break f*ing with this, as well as $30 late fee for day care...thank the Gods I didn't write some daycare 2 wks ago before the paycheck was SUPPOSED to go in - cuz I don't wanna think about what my bank account would be looking like for that!

Just - omg.

Soo  - as soon as I have that check in my hand, I am writing to the regional VP - who stopped in during training to tell us: "You don't work for me, I work for you" Than dammit - PAY me for the hours I DO work!!!! Hard to believe w/ s* like this, that they're supposedly third largest in the US.

Ah well... I'm off to hatch some eggs: My eggs
