finally i'll be able to work from home tomorrow, thank goodness... it's been a month now since i've been able to and it's really starting to get to me.
i had my review about a month ago and when my boss sent my review down to HR she added a note to it advising them that i work from home two days a week. HR then comes back to tell her what my raise is and they mention that i won't be able to start working from home until June. i had been doing it for about two months before then, but because HR doesn't pay attention to anything other than the mouth flapping that goes on, they didn't realize that i was in a different position than i previously was (and have been for two years). previously i was in a position that wouldn't allow such a thing, but since then, i have worked my way a wee bit up the ladder and was able to do so.
i was also supposed to get a $3.50 raise (per a member of upper management), as i am severely underpaid, but they said "we'll have to look into that later". so, i continue to suck corporate nuts in order to maintain my "under the radar" status, and i am stuck waiting until June to get my sanity back.
i can't deal with the people i work with and i can't deal with the fact that something i have worked very hard to be able to do has been single handedly taken away from me, all because someone has a hard on for being a control freak.
the girl i sit next to has some ass disease and all i hear about is her smelly shits... i can't take it and i hope they all get skull fucked by the demons of hell.
my boyfriend says that i should be more aggressive about this, but i don't think i want to take it too far
:unhappy:

I have no idea what corporate codes are floating around these days, but "we'll have to look into that later" sounds like there's nothing you could do about it right now.

the money isn't the issue, i know i have to wait for that, and honestly i don't think it's going to happen anyways
it's the working from home thing... i was doing it, and now i'm not, all because HR doesn't know what my position is. once my boss explained it and was like "um, i gave you her review, didn't you read it?" they were like 'hmyeahhh, but she should still wait until June"

In this case I'd say you should comment on that - if you've already worked from home, and if the work you did was alright [I have no idea what you're actually doing], I don't see why they wouldn't let you again right away. Except they're just assholes.

exactly why i think i'm better off just waiting it out
i dunno... i'm just really annoyed about the whole ordeal

Get a new job and then months later systematically murder everyone who held you back from your happiness.

i really do want to kill a couple of them
i wish you could kill people out of your day, without really killing them, so that you didn't have the guilt and shit. it would be great if every morning i could go in there and kill people and then they would come back to life after i left work, and then i could just kill them the next morning, and so on and so forth

this whole thing just feels like when the cool kid in elementary school would kick the dodge-ball into the woods when i was having fun, and he just stood there and laughed, knowing damn well that i wasn't going to go get it
it's just that fucking stupid

Wow they sound really petty. I seriously dont see why it would be an issue if you already worked well from home. I think you might have to say something about this, it is infringing on what you want to do. Are they aware how much you would rather work from home? I dont understand why they would revoke that for no reason.
shannon

basically, the HR manager is a dick and she hasn't read my review/job description in two years and has no clue what i do. my boss explained to her that i am in a different position, a position which would coincide with working home, however, she thought it best that she stick with her original response, which was that i had to wait
working from home is a big thing where i work, because everyone knows that no one can tolerate one another

in other news, i was at a chain restaurant bar with my boyfriend the other night, and i watched this older man take pictures on his cell phone of young girls
i can't get the image out of my head and it's driving me nuts

i know he was taking them because he was being a fucking drunk and he was holding the phone like a foot away from his face towards them, and he kept tilting his head to the side because he clearly wasn't aligning as well as he desired. believe me, i thought i was just being difficult at first, but then i mentioned it to my boyfriend and he watched him for a bit and agreed with me that he was most definitely being a pervert and seemed pretty content with others noticing this

when you say young girls, i hope you mean the attractive hostesses most restaurants like to hire, and not a 7 y.o. girl eating her chicken strips.

they were probably between 16-17... there was one big older looking chick (maybe 19 or so), but it's doubtful that he was going to break one off to her

some people only speak the language of power. if the boss thinks you're right, use him as leverage. you'd be surprised how a certain breed of people change their attitudes if you crush them. if he does have power over this HR person. i just read that he had already made a clarification of your case.

its kinda creepy how the first post is talking about taco butt, and the second page we're on to REAL nachos.
the best place to get a steak in salt lake is actually at this strip club called golden trails. unicorn dust falls from their vaginas onto your rib-eye.

i've been to a red robin twice. their burger plate was about $12.
i'm not saying it wasn't edible, but it was generic fare i can get at any chain. for $12, that burger had better come with a handjob

oh yeah, and the girl with the ass disease that i can't stand is trying to go on medical leave... i am happy as a clam
