My former employer kept me well stocked on hand cream. Notionally, this was a prophylactic against bacterial infiltration but having never encountered any covered in bodily fluids I used it to keep my hands soft.

A coworker’s wife received a call regarding several thousand dollars being sent to her from an American ex-pat in China that would be hers if she’d pay the escrow fees so he could sneak the rest of his fortune out of the middle kingdom; a standard Nigerian 419 scam. She was unsure of what to do [...] We went out for pizza to celebrate my final departure. This is the sixth such luncheon of which 4 were deemed to be “final”. I had no parting wisdom, the well-wishes were dull, and the pizza was copious; all in all, the overwhelming feeling was relief. This was driven home with last interaction with one coworker: Him: [...] I went over the documentation to apply for unemployment after doing a 26-hour marathon THERE ARE COMPUTERS TO FIX day at work. The top line said “please complete honestly”, ok, I can do this. Question 1: Are you ready and willing to immediately begin full-time employment? O Yes O No That question seriously lacks a “Kinda, give [...] I moved out the bulk of my personal stuff today including the wall of photos I’d printed and brought in. Some people noticed how bare the walls were but not everyone took it so well: Coworker: Why did you take the pictures down?Edit I made a batch of bilaminate brownies to bring into work today. These would be my last as I had no more Mondays before my firing. People came by throughout the day to issue their best wishes but largely to have a brownie, but one person was moreso affected than most: Him: Bilaminate brownie! Everytime I return to work after a furlough I receive a new email address. I’ve had “terry.robinson@firmsname.com”, terry.robinson1@firmsname.com”, terry1.robinson@firmsname.com” and “terence.robinson@firmsname.com”. This most recent time I resisted this and reclaimed my first email address, a personal victory. I proudly registered all my accounts under my reclaimed “terry.robinson@firmsname.com”. I attempted to do a password recovery for an [...] I had waded through a morass of odd paperwork regarding patch application and sought the originator of the byzantine crap to finish it off once and for all, this ensued: Me: Why was my script not approved? I made the error of saying I’d have an experiment done before the next day, forgetting that the process took six hours… and I’d have to run it twice, so I didn’t go home Tuesday night. The experiment involves testing materials against a battery of dyed mock digestive fluids. At about 2 AM I finished the [...] I’m waiting for someone to buy my Rebel XSi so it’s been sitting on my desk at work and some people have asked to use it but decided not to when I told them it was a DSLR. Today, someone asked to borrow it who swore up and down he was quite skilled with a DSLR. [...] |
