Ugg. Just logged 4 hours working from home by spending it on the phone with Spectrum internet and cable. That makes a total of 8 hours on the phone, 4 hours troubleshooting and recording info myself and 4 hours working with repair techs this week.
I don't know what compels me to go to one of the busiest grocery stores in the city on a Friday
True, I was technically working from car as I had to drive down to the dock to get a stable cell signal. So I spent 4 hours on the phone while staring at the lake.
Called my boss after to get some account info, he got pissed I was logging so much time fixing Spectrums fuck ups. He's gonna call them and bitch until they reimburse him for my time. I said good luck with that.
I was making jokes with the two guys who do tire intake appointments at the tire store yesterday and said - Hey guys, if you need someone who can work from home I need a job and I'm your man!
One guy says - Hey man I want to work from home too, you're in line. No wait...my wife will be there so I take that back
One of the techs this week (new guy) Overheard me talking shop to the tech on scene, He thought I worked for the company and was out of uniform. I said nope, everything I know about your system I learned in the last 5 days. He said, "damn you should work for us!" I said "And take a pay cut?"
I got a job at an oil company as a summer student in 1985. I got about 5 minutes training on this device that was pretty much a microfiche reader and over the course of a week learned how to input township and range maps...minor geophysical bullshit.
I meet this older guy who had worked there for a few years and he asked where I went to college, what degrees I had, where did I get my experience with the machine from, etc.
After telling him only high school and that I learned what I was doing on the fly over the past few days, he stormed off. Someone else told me he took 4 years getting his degree and before I showed up, he used to be the guy who was doing the same job functions. Sorry pal
