I finally get to do this.

Today: Fired

I think, based on a history of questionable performance, I'm going to forestall any additional calendaric shenanigans and fire the whole damn week, on behalf of both myself and aishlynn.

Sleeping like ass. Not able to wake up. Work's been stupidly busy and stressful for both of us (one bright spot was that my position was posted today, so that's moving forward). And today I managed to, in the course of following up with FedEx and NewEgg because some ASSHAT fucking STOLE packages off my porch yesterday[1], lock myself out of the goddamned house.

First thought was to call angel_renewed, since she and theonebob pet sit for us. Unfortunately, Bob is Keeper of the Keys (well, it was worth a shot). Ultimately, I ended up calling K to come home and let me in.

Man, I hope my chiropractor isn't having an off day, too. I'm going to sound like a wheelbarrow full of Rice Krispies at this rate.



[1] To their credit, FedEx did acknowledge that they'd screwed the pooch by leaving them; a substitute driver inadvertently pulled up a signature waiver for 806 E Hanna, which makes the discrepancy between that address and my own the 9th character to enter. Eileen at the local FedEx station is going to get a thank-you card, because she was that good to deal with, and went out of her way to let me know what the situation was.

I hope today gets better honey!!

On another note...met the chica in charge of our big cats for the Blue Unit...in a few ways she reminded me of Kim. That made me miss the two of you terribly. Hopefully, I'll get to see the two of you again soon!!

How do you confuse Hamilton and Hanna?

I have to go into the office tomorrow. This week: fired.

autocomplete - eight oh six space ee space aych ay - you'd have to go through all that and get to the em or en in order to see the difference.

i didn't say it was a -smart- mistake (the same substitute driver had made it on Monday, when he delivered something else; fortunately, it didn't wander off), just an easy-to-understand one.

Maybe it's good that Bob is going to have them hold our delivery at the Fed Ex office (owing to my office visit tomorrow).

i also got locked out of my house. it was sunday evening and i'd been to the grocery with my kids. we got back and the knob was locked as well as the dead-bolt. we never lock the knob.

so, i scale the 6-foot privacy fence to my back yard and check the back door. no joy. i then called upon years-ago training in B&E (never to take, only to see if i could do it) and climbed up to my bedroom window on the second floor where there was a window cracked open. a faulty screen made my entry easier, but it still was an effort to get up on that roof.

Wait Fired???

So now what job wise?

i declare this week as being fired, because since monday through today, it's been pretty skuzzy.

my job's looking anything but, and i learned that there's a fair amount of headroom, salary-wise, in the pay grade the position has been assigned.

Heh, now you know how I felt with UPS when someone stole a package off my porch back home. Had to sign for every single UPS package since. At least FedEx is much more reasonable (and the dropoff point was closer to home too).

As for getting locked out of the house, I did that only once in recent memory, but was able to get around it by using a coat hanger to unlock the car door and using the garage door opener. Knock on wood, haven't locked myself out here in PHX.

No shit. I suspect that I'll be getting -very- attentive service from FedEx henceforth.

On the upside, the know they screwed up and made a big, shiny note on my account, so that when the replacements ship, both the substitute dude and my regular driver will be aware.

Now, I just want to find the scumbag who walked off with the parts and break some rebar off in their ass.
