My roommate got really drunk and bought two litres of cream, which is great because I have zero money. Also, mysterious burritos have appeared.

Someone at work went out and bought bagels in the morning because she was bored, and she let me have one even though I originally told her I wasn't hungry. Also for some reason, my paycheck for this week (which is the same amount every week) had an extra penny tacked on to it. So technically, I got a raise today!

I saw the Shaun the Sheep movie- in a theater completely empty except for my friend and me, unfortunately (we'd watched Tangled a week before with a bunch of kids whose laughter and "ooh!"s were pretty awesome), but it's such a fun, clever little film.

This was a few days ago, but it's been extending through. My birthday was last week and I talked to my mom on the phone. She asked me what I wanted, so I told her all I really wanted was for her to come visit me in my new home like she'd been planning (I moved to another state fairly far away about a year ago). On my birthday I got a text from my sister. Apparently Southwest Airlines had some sort of flash sale on my birthday and my mom, dad (seriously shocking since he doesn't travel much), sister and my two nephews are all coming to visit me in November! None of them have ever been anywhere near here and I'm super excited. I've been telling people at work and getting all sorts of good ideas for things the kids might like--most of which I've not been to myself but sound awesome! e: Also my local birthday celebration itself was easily in the top 2 or 3 I've ever had. electrohead has a new favorite as of 11:44 on Aug 18, 2015 |

I landed on a runway that ended on a lake and then did circuits so I got to pretend I was landing on an aircraft carrier and I got to sing Danger Zone with my European DJ instructor who was also singing it.

This is awesome! It's still early today but I have the day off and I may be having lunch with my mom who I only get to see like once a month. And I plan to go shopping for Fall Decor after because fall is my FAVORITE SEASON and it's finally COMING!! And this will be my first year in a real house with my husband that I can decorate ALL OVER.

Be very, very happy, but also keep your eyes open for any busses barreling towards the department. Today I got back pay for a few hundred hours I worked before noticing that HR didn't actually implement my raise!

I've heard of employers trying to screw people out of money by fudging hours after the fact, I can't see how your situation would be legal. If any back pay is subject to the raise you were supposed to get, that's on HR and you should check into it.

I got a job interview on Monday! The job is for twelve hours a week, but it's exactly the thing I want to be doing, at a place that I'm very eager to work at. Even if I don't get it I can introduce myself and network a bit.

Had a coworker and a client send really nice emails to my boss about how I've helped out and how easy it is to communicate with me at work. Yeah I can be a jerk when I vent here but I really enjoy what I do and this client is a medical clinic about 30 minutes away with the most laid back, chilled doctor and wife I've ever met. If the dude was any more relaxed he'd be a puddle on the floor, never gets upset or overbearing, and his wife is just a super sweetheart. Can't wait to get their new PCs and wireless router in, I like spending time on site there  Tiggum posted:I think they did get the money they were supposed to. That was the nice thing that happened. Maybe it's the wording, just sounded like they paid him, but it was after they promised (and failed) to give a raise, so he should have been paid at a higher rate. v  v Good on Shamshel either way for getting them  dolla dolla bills y'all

Today was my last day at work before I get married on Saturday, and despite being at this job for less than two months my office threw a little surprise celebration and wrote a nice card for me Also they dropped a $150 Visa gift card in there, which was nice to see and completely unexpected/unnecessary.

Got to see the awesome client today that I mentioned before, got their new wireless AP in place, everyone was SHOCKED at how much better/faster it is. Going from a cruddy little Linksys G router that was spotty at best to an Engenius access point with a solid, consistent 300Mbps and full bars in maybe 20 minutes felt great. The super chill doctor LOVED it, big grin on his face and I left feeling awesome after he said "I like you, I hope you don't go anywhere!" Now to get the AP replaced in their neighboring building that just crapped the bed, but even those folks are great and I've got them temporarily on a backup AP until we get a new one. Another group that was floored at how quick I diagnosed the problem and had a backup plan to keep them working  On top of that, my partner engineer and I have been dealing with an absolute hellacious, bitchy, downright banshee of a client for a couple months now. Long story short, she's never satisfied with anything, always complains, and has been passed through 4 different pairs of engineers in the past 3 years. Today, she complained yet again about something trivial that we had already fixed and started trying to tear us down. My boss, the account manager, and the VP (who has dealt with this lady in person more than once), all had a last-minute meeting around 4pm today with said client to basically tell her we're ending our business relationship.  Some of the wording from our account manager and VP were "it seems that no matter how hard we work and how pleasant we are, you're just never going to be satisfied with our service". Apparently the conversation went fairly smooth and she reluctantly agreed that yes, she's been overbearing and expects WAY too much, which is causing friction and stress with the engineers and management. I legit felt like a 2 ton block had been lifted off me, it was so liberating to hear those words.
