Fraps, my recording program, has been a little funny.  You wont notice it so much in this episode, but the end of the one after the next one will be pretty abrupt.

Hmm.  My playback is snagging in the first couple of minutes.

Visual or audio?

Seems Youtube has been playing up for a few people lately.

Freezing both audio and video.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Cain

Yeah, playback seems to be fine this end, so blame Google (always a good policy anyway).

I've taken a day job (which is actually going to be a night job, by the end of this week). It's said that fortune telling is a busy gig in "uncertain times", but what I've noticed is that in "uncertain times" every idiot and their mother starts telling fortunes. So I pretty much had a choice of going to work or sleeping in my daughter's truck.

I'm at a place called Continental and they make the computer parts for cars. It's easier than it sounds, I'm sure little kids in China do the same thing (for a lot less). The upside is that it's $10.90 an hour (which is kind of a shitty wage but surreal good for Seguin). The bad part is that the shifts are 12 hours and I get to stand up the whole time on my fucked up Steven Tyler feet. These last couple of weeks have been training and orientation, so while I was out on the floor some, there were also days that we sat all day and listened to shit.

Today we had a...I don't know what it was. It was named Babs. She said things like "A REEL IS ROUND AND IT HAS A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE!" and "IF OUR PRODUCTS FAIL, WE'RE LIABLE! CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT "LIABLE" MEANS?"

If you looked down, she accused you of sleeping and threatened to make you stand up. She pronounced "Tianjin" "Tanjin" and made a freudian slip that "CORPORATIONS ARE USING LABOR IN LOW CLASS - I MEAN LOW COST! - COUNTRIES LIKE MEXICO AND CHINA." Then she told us about some mythical Union guy in North Carolina who wouldn't negotiate and caused a whole plant to shut down causing thousands of people to lose their jobs. Oh, and "frivolous lawsuits", with that evil opportunistic McDonald's coffee lady (who actually WAS severely burned) as an example. And how corporations shouldn't have their taxes raised (but it's OK to make people take unpaid weeks off, if that's what it takes to keep the company afloat).

I'm only surprised she didn't tell us about Jesus and how he sends blizzards to places where people are "going to do something gay".

I won't be working with her, but she's around that plant somewhere. And she's a marked woman.

How was YOUR day?

AIIIIIEEEEEEE, what have I missed?



I wanted to send you and the tyke a care package. But I don't have your info.

Ok, it worked today.  The plot thickens...

I feel like a bit of a dick.
First, I demoted my assistant-supervisor for good reasons. The dickish bit is that i failed to sufficiently communicate her shortcomings to her on time. I just took all the extra work on myself (why do i use long words in that sentence? I think it is my brain protecting my ego)
Secondly, today i sent a zero-hour-contract worker home (on sickleave) because he has a hernia but keeps coming back to work directly followed by him going home early because his back hurts. He can't function and is destroying his back at the same time, just because he wants to work. The dick part here is that he won't be allowed back here by my boss. I stand behind my decision though, it is best for everyone.
