Flynn's Paws: My Thoughts, My Gripes

  • After Food For Thoughts

    After lunch, Theresa and I were talking. Her rapid speech and something about `whatever` she has been through tells me something is wrong. She mentioned something about don’t ask or pray for anything (even money) because God pretty much decides everyone’s fate.

    For example, Jacklyn P. wanted the stock administrator job at our former employer but Dean M. already signed off for someone else, Carolyn T. Theresa D. was caught in the middle and ended up with the A/P clerk position instead.

    Since Jacklyn was being greedy, it so happens that Theresa got a new job as stock administrator. So essentially, justice has been served for the better. So that’s how it is for everyone else.

    I see it now. It used to be bad for me. But for whatever unknown purpose, it’s something that is supposed to have happened to strengthen each and everyone of us. One cannot avoid what is inevitable.

  • Lunch Outings

    So yesterday from 1:00pm to 1:30pm, I walked around the eBay headquarters. I was using the black-colored Tote umbrella as a sun shield. It was moderately hot because Jenika P. asked if I went walking. I probably smelled to high heavens. Using an email print-out didn’t help cool my stink down. Haha!

    Today for lunch, Theresa D. and I went to the Vietnamese Pho shop on the corner of Trimble and First Street (I think). The Starbucks coffee shop was around the bend.

    She paid for my meal and coffee. That was nice of her considering I drove the both of us to the place.

  • Hating Stuff

    Besides today being MUCH cooler than yesterday and DEFINITELY the day before, I hate blogging! There’s nothing to blog about! The end! It’s nothing but useless data to kill the time.

    Thanks TPTB and pals, I’m friggin’ working for money that should have been in my greasy palms by now! WTF? I’m stuck in front of the computer AGAIN. And when I get home, it’s the same thing – controversy then rants!

    Today’s lunch was a waste! I wanted to spend only $7.95 for my meal but the fools decided to split it for $23.00. WTF? I hate people! I hate company outings! I hate idle conversation about life and nonsense! I hate what you f^ck#rs done!

  • Old Co-Worker

    Yippie! I’ve met my old co-worker from C!sc*… Theresa D. used to work in the A/P department but now she works here as a Stock Administrator, just like what Carolyn T. used to do. I wonder if Lottie M. still remembers me, too.

    I saw Theresa walk from the slamming back door and down my aisle. That’s when I saw her profile very briefly! I looked at her to her right and then she looked up at me and finally recognized me. I gave her a hug and asked her how her three bullies (children) are. She has been here for two years.

    I sensed (as per my sixth sensed and probably thinking about her) that she was the one walking around the block during lunch today from 12:45pm to 1:00pm. My walk ended at 1:15pm, thirty minutes later because it was so friggin’ hot!

    Gosh! Now I know two people from the accounting department here at my temp job from hell for six months! Yippie! Now I get to walk around with her during lunchtime. Whenever.

  • Best Man

    Haha! The best man of the boy happens to work at the same company where I’m working a temp job for six months! I’m going to tease that guy badly. He’s part Mexicano on his mom’s side and part white boy on his father’s side. He’s got the height and facial features of his dad but the attitude of his Mexican heritage – all respectful and such. Haha!

    So the boy took a photo of my work badge and email it to his best man for laughs. Haha! Small world, indeed! I hate them all! God!

  • New Temp Job

    I’m at my new temp job but for how long? The people are nice. I’m sitting near a slamming door again! But it’s not loud at all. What could this mean? Am I a door-keeper? Hmm.

    I walked around to the front where my car is parked, put on my sneakers, walked to the back with the umbrella and got a few minutes of exercise.

    I couldn’t fax over a signed authorization form for a background check because I don’t have a `user code`, whatever that is.

  • Weird Questions By Headhunters

    The last the temp agency working for the client’s H/R asked moi: `Are you late on your payments?` The headhunter working with me asked: `Are you able to pay your bills, auto, rent, etc.`? I told her I was able to feed myself. And all that was regarding a credit check. That was three weeks ago.

    The current temp job asked: `Is it okay to get a background check? [Our] client requires it.` I said, `Sure`. But I also mentioned that I already went through the background check when I signed up with you [the headhunter]. They’ve got nothing else except my last name, which looks like Hispanic.

  • Clouds Ahoy

    Lots of high altitude clouds of white. Popcorns, mackarel and lenticulars! Clear blue skies, of course. Mild weather and cool winds enough to roll the window. Drove us three to spot check the temp job from hell. It’s close to ten minutes drive during non-traffic hours and to eBay headquarters.

  • New Temp Job

    Whoo! Hoo! I’ve got me a temp job from hell for six months of data entry! It starts tomorrow and is located just north of my sister-in-law’s workplace. I’d have to wear black slacks and a nice shirt. Thanks, Emily!

  • Temp Jobs

    Temporary jobs blow. I’m blowing steam not getting a job. One temp job is a data entry position and the head hunter wants a background check. I’m thinking: Screw you! Didn’t I sign up long ago with the head hunter and signed paperwork for a background check and now they want a duplication?

    But my family downstairs said it’s okay. The boy said it’s better to make sure the company is not hiring thugs, drug users, felons, etc. I’m thinking: Screw you! I think it’s more of a privacy issue. They are invading my privacy. Just give me a stupid job behind the computer and pay me accordingly. Background checks are for those who think my last name is Hispanic. This is racial profiling, really.

    As far as General McChrystal is concerned, he did the right thing. Although most people would think that he was being insubordinate, he wanted out due to the frustration of not being able to do the job (as hunter/killer) he was sent out to do because his boss, the president, was not `engaging enough`.

    `She’s insubordinate`.

    ~Corinne A.

    Nope. Like all big companies, she gave me something that was weird and out of my `on-the-job-training`. I knew then that I couldn’t do my own thing without a micro-manager breathing down my neck at every small detail. I heard she wanted to get a lay-off package, which explained her behavior towards `her people` of temp helpers after I left that computerized job.

  • 20091027-Work Now!

    Get a job! You are wasting your time!

    Okay, Maw! If only Obama’s severe economic recession disappears and only if some willing employer would let me work even part-time with whatever skills I have left in the latter years, I’d be out of your life and working far away from you! But that’s only a dream.

    What I’d like to do is be my own boss. But I’ve no funds. Gee, I wonder why? I’d go crazy if I had a micro-manager as a boss and stuck in a cubicle in front of the damn computer the whole day and away from REAL sunlight, not some artificial lighting that gives migraines!

    I already had enough of someone who is TOO loving and protective for the past forty, friggin, long years! My personality is too stubborn to do anything that doesn’t benefit moi. Do you think I could tell you the truth why I waited over nine friggin years for justice and not work after leaving a VERY good company for two years?

    Do you think the law or government would help moi, knowing about how they operate? Maybe and if it weren’t for unemployment, I wouldn’t learn that the world is full of nutters! No wonder I can’t stand working!

    No wonder there exists possessed nutters who crawl all over the place to ruin the souls of people. These trolls cannot stand the sight of moi! They would dare try to harm many of those who try to do the right things!

    Anyway, I’d like to work. I don’t know what my mission is but I’d like to be productive. I’d like to make use of my bloated ego and my busy mind. I’d like to for once make a dent in society. I’d like to make noise, farting or otherwise.

  • 20091027-System Down

    In a vain attempt of STILL LOOKING FOR A JOB, I was trying to access the California Job Service :: CalJOBS :: Employment Resource but received the following message, which does NOT necessarily represent the views and opinions of the Schwarzenegger Administration:

    CalJOBSSM temporarily unavailable

    CalJOBSSM, California’s online job exchange system is temporarily unavailable. EDD recently took this precaution in light of a few isolated cases of unauthorized access to posted résumé information. Such access was available to a limited number of résumé postings and did not compromise confidential information contained in the system such as Social Security numbers. EDD is working to ensure that the entire system is fully secure before restoring access to the CalJOBSSM site. Please check back to this site for further updates.

    ATTENTION Unemployment Insurance Claimants: The CalJOBSSM Registration requirement is suspended until the CalJOBSSM system is available again. Failure to register will not affect your eligibility for unemployment benefits while the system is unavailable.

    It is not necessary to contact EDD to inquire about your CalJOBSSM registration requirement. However, you must attend any and all scheduled appointments required for your unemployment insurance benefits.

    OMG! I wonder if my details have been compromised! Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!
