Just Your Average Work Complaint Post

Today I got to drive to Porterville College. I don't mind getting away from the office, in fact I quite enjoy the reprive, but Porterville is an awfully long way to go for a 10 minute meeting. But I went and talked about eye safety and the proper lifting technique to prevent injury while on the job to 5 incredibly bored workers, at least 1 of which didn't even speak english. It is however an OSHA requirement so it has to be done.

That burned up most of morning and when I got back to the office everyone seemed to be in a grumpy mood. Someone decided yesterday to open all the doors in the office which let in about 50 flies that have apprantly survived the night and are letharically floating around the office harassing us all today. One even landed on my eyeball which was much more disturbing than I ever expected.

Then there is the email situation. Since I work with dinosaurs, the men in the office don't email themselves but have my mom and I email for them. My mom works Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays so if she isnt here I have to take over her duties one of which is email. We use an outlook type program so you can only access the guys emails on my moms computer. This has been the case for over a year, yet they still can't grasp the concept that I can't email anything from their accounts on my computer or check their email without going to my moms "machine" (thats what they call it, I am serious). The other problem is the scanner is only hooked up to my moms computer and they always give me things to scan when my mom is here, which is clearly something she needs to do if she is here because she is sitting at that computer and if I were to do it I would have to get up, ask her to stop whatever she is doing and move to scan or email, which makes no sense. I explain this all to them at least once a week and I have made no progress.

Finally,a fly landed on my frickin eyeball! I know I mentioned that before but it was really creepy and gross, ughh. Sneaky fly.
