Worst day ever!!!

By ten past nine our locum hadnt come so i rang Nisha from our branch at Felling wjo sorts the locums who said she would get back to me, so in the meantime we cant dispense any prescriptions, any methadone, or sell ANY medicines AT ALL - Cue 20 odd customers walk in wanting all this stuff.
So Nisha rings me back sayingthat this locum of ours Bal - has been sent to the Jesmond branch with another locum Ema. She will sort it.
Ok, so i decided to measure out all the methadone and lock the shop up and put a sign on the door. So while the other girls fend off all the old dears - i spend 30 mins measuring methadone! With Poor Kat the pharmacist down the road running back and forth to dispense the methadone even thought she is VERY 7 month pregnant

So at 10 Nisha rang me back to say that one of the locums was going to be coming from Jesmond to cover the other one


There are 2 pharmacists there - one that drives the other that relies on public transport. Which one do they send? The one that spends 3 HOURS getting here on a train. I rang Nisha to tell her to call this Ema and tell her to just get off the train and i would come up in the car to get her as the buses are notoriously bad And coz the ditzy woman doesnt own a mobile phone i couldnt ring her to tell her to just get off the train at sunderland and instead of getting 3 buses to easington colliery i would just drive and get her!!


So she finally turned up at 12.30!!! Half a day gone - i got 10 mins for my dinner and i cant get into the hairdressers tomorrow before my night out!!


So....

To Nisha - for messing up the Locum system (AGAIN!!!!!!!)
To Bal - for not being a gentlemen and making her spend 3 and a half hours on a train when he could have drove in 30 mins

and

To the hairdressers to not having any appointments - am having to dye it myself now!

Not the worst day ever, but a sucky situation nonetheless!

I know that people get fired for little to no reason every day, but it doesn't happen at my company!

In my company, an employee cannot be fired because someone doesn't like them. It just cannot happen. Firings have to be approved all the way up the line to the company president. If it is not justifiable and proper, it just won't happen.

Another thing, I don't like firing people! I know that it can be difficult to find a new position, and my field is notorious for lousy pay, so counselors between jobs can be sorely pressed, financially. I know this!

On Thursday, I had to fire a person who had been with us for 3 years, and has been a pain in my ass for all but two months of it (her first two months, before her work ethic turned to poo) for her inability to follow our program's requirements and her refusal to follow simple directions.

As she was being presented with her termination, she demanded to know what it was "really about." To the very end, she refused to recognize that the company's needs weren't met, but she was being fired because I didn't like her.

AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

All she ever had to do was follow directions and do her job the way she was trained to do it, yet she refused. After warnings and write-ups and days-off, still she refused. And, she had the gall to blame me for her termination.

Some people's kids, I swear!

Constantly get customers whining and winging as to why our department has disqaulified thier drivers licence. Basically if your caught for drink driving, take it on the chin. Do the crime serve the time (disqual period). Don't want to elaborate to much due to my departments policies on airing views via media etc. It's a small world. Nuff said <_<

Oh, here's a lovely one!!!

Was having some troubles with my computer week before last; when I would turn on my monitor, the desktop would show up very dim, and it would flicker,flicker,flicker, then die. Turn it off, turn it back on. Flicker,flicker,flicker, die. Would take 3 or 4 tries to get it to stay put. As time went on it would require more and more attempts to get it to stay on. Called Gateway, made me go through this stupid test thing where-in I unplug the monitor from the computer and try it that way. Did that, and it stayed on. He said it was the graphics card and sent me, under warranty, a new one. Well, meanwhile I'd forgotten that only 5 months previously I'd gotten a new $300-PLUS card!!!!!!! (some GeForce 7800 thing). And I was supposed to replace that with a standard factory generic piece of crap!?!?! Well, when the new card came, I swapped them out, turned on my computer.. and the same problem happened. I then swapped Hubby's monitor for mine (cause we have the exact same ones) and TAH DAH, it worked fine!! Go figure!! Soooo, I called them back and explained the situation, and he asked me "Did you try a new cord for the monitor?" HA!! Ya wanna give me a piece of crap monitor and try to make it seem like it's something cheap!?!? I lied, of course! "Yeah, tried new cord with old monitor, tried old cord with husband's monitor. Husbands monitor works fine no matter which cord or which computer it's attached to, my monitor does NOT work at all, no matter which cord or computer it's attached to." That should make it pretty darned clear. Ok, it did and he got me set up to have a new monitor shipped, again, under warranty. Fine.

Friday morning I opened the door to kick Hubby out for work and guess what I saw sitting on the porch, RIGHT at the very top step, in between the left and right railings!? (placement means it would be IMPOSSIBLE for anyone ascending the steps to get past it to the doorbell). That's right, the new monitor, which UPS had delivered the afternoon/evening before!! Have no idea what time he left it there, that BUTTHEAD never rang the bell!!!!!!!!!!! And, it rained and STORMED all night, all over my new monitor!!!!!!!!!! Thankfully, even though Gateway makes CRAP monitors, at least they know how to wrap their crap very very well in plastic, 'cause after I got the squishy drippy box inside, I found my monitor safe and sound. However, I will need to send the old/broken monitor back to Gateway so I don't get charged for the extra one, and my box to return it in is RUINED, thanks to UPS!!! GRRRRRRRRUMBLE, I am soooooo upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm going to have to treck 35 miles to the UPS store to "hopefully" get them to cover the costs of the box that they ruined so I can send the old broken monitor back to Gateway!! Man oh man, this just really ticks me off BIG TIME!!!!

poor speedie

My dad got a laptop from DELL through work - were they pay for it through their wages and get it for next to nowt.
My dad got his laptop delivered and tried it but his internet wouldnt work - apparently because of the anti-virus dell had put on the laptop.
So he rang DELL and they arranged to deliver another and pick the old one up. In the meantime Tiff and my dad had managed to sort the 1st laptop out so it was working fine
The guy from dell brought the new laptop but didnt know anything about picking one up and refused to take the old one away.

When my dad rang dell to sort it they insist that the delivery guy had picked up the laptop and it was in the factory being re-conditioned!!!


So now my dad has TWO Dell top of the range laptops, he pays for only one - and he is only paying HALF for that one!!!!!


Why do things like that never happen to me!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the place were he works offered him a cheque for £800 for a BRAND NEW bike on a 'ride your bike to work' scheme - my dad put a couple of hundred quid to this and now has a full spec top of the range mountain bike!!!!

He is a proper jammy sod!!

poor red


I had a similar problem with a PC i bought from Comet. It kept crashing and when i went back to the store with it the guy was not very helpful at all! Said something needed doing - so i said would he do it as i didnt wanna do anything to it myself as id only had it a couple of days - he then told me to stop f***ing moaning!!! My dad was with me at the time and hit the roof!!! We put a complaint in with the manager but nothing happened (they did fix the PC tho) but i had nothing but trouble with it. But because my ex bought it on Hire purchase i left it with him passworded up to the eyeballs when i left. I put soooo many security things on and so many dodgy passwords its funny - good luck to whoever tried to get THAT fixed for him HAHAHA



*and yes he did deserve it!

<span style="color:#FF0000">Sometimes I just wanna be angry and bite my piano teacher's head off. Typically I only have one of the two...which is usually being angry. Anyway, today made me really wanna rip her a new one!

So yesterday after I got home from work I played my videogames for a bit and then headed off to sleep. I slept until 10:45 when the phone started ringing. I let it ring a few times and then out of consideration for my friend who hadn't gotten home till late last night I picked up the phone and answered with a sleepy hello.

My piano teacher was on the other line and she told me "your piano lesson is supposed to be right now."

I had completely blanked on it and began apologizing rapid fire thinking she'll understand that I just plum forgot.

No. She immediately began rattling on about how I'm wasting her time and how I need to change my habit of forgetting piano lessons. WHAT HABIT?! I'VE ONLY MISSED ONCE SINCE THE SUMMER STARTED!!! SORRY I PERHAPS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMETHING CALLED A VACATION!!! Gosh!!

She claims I'm not passionate enough about music and such. I am too!! Maybe not for the same type of music she is passionate for but I am passionate about that! I HATE GETTING RIPPED APART LIKE THIS!!

Makes me happy I'll be bringing by the "Change of Major" form once school is about to begin. <_<

HOW DARE she tell me I'm not passionate!
HOW DARE she tell me I have a bad habit!
HOW DARE she tell me that I am too happy and need to be more sad!!

THIS ISN'T A WAY TO TEACH EFFECTIVELY!!

Makes me wanna hit her over the head...</span>

What is it with people who don't return phone calls? I'm not talking about your friends or grandma, I'm talking about business "professionals", to use the term loosely.

I hate it when you have called someone two, three or more times on consecutive days and they still don't return your phone calls. People get busy, sure, but busy all day for three days straight? I know you are in the office, your secretary said so. I even left a personal message with her. Oh, you didn't get it? Fire the idiot! You got voice mail, you ever check it? Listen, you lazy . Surely you know how to dial a phone or order your secretary to dial for you. Oh yeah, you fired her. Well, return your phone calls yourself then. I mean, are you in business or what? The phone hasn't become obsolete, yet. Let your fingers do the walking, remember? By the way, I got a finger for you.

Hey, up here in Canada it's metric so we use our pinky finger for that one. I'm with you on that one chargerfanchs. We had a youth event going on and had someone lined up to provide refreshments after. We would've taken care of it ourselves but help was offered and we accepted. We wanted confirmation so 3 weeks prior began trying to call and E-mail. Sent many messages, didn't get anything back until 2 days prior. Said person was unavailable for one of the 2 nights and then showed up late with the goodies for the one they could attend, so one of us had had to do an emergency run to pick up snacks and juice for 120 people as we thought it was a no show. Someone else you want to let know that they're number 1!

Activision. I've had more games freeze up in the middle of playing their games than anyone else. Yesterday it was X-Men III - The Official Game. Froze up on me right in the middle of Wolverine shredding some Hydra guards in the holding pens. Luckily there is a save opportunity after each mission, so I didn't have to go too far back.

Last time a game froze up on me, it was X-Men Legends II - The Rise Of Apocalypse (also by Activision) and I lost quite a bit of progress in it and a few hairs after pulling them out. It froze up in the same place every time. After half a dozen tries, I finally found out that I was carrying too much inventory. Did they not QA test these games all the way through? It was not just that mission, but the possibility of any mission freezing up on you for carrying too much inventory. To me, that is poor quality.

Is it just X-Men games that Activision screws up or is it all of their games?
