      Thank you, my dear! It was quite lovely, actually, right down to dinner at a local diner (which amuses me no ends). :lol:

      Happy birthday, BW! Who doesn't love a good diner meal?

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Thank you! And honestly, I love any meal I don’t have to cook! :lol: 

  2. DemonGoddess

    I am playing catch up, finally.  We’ll see how long this fairly normal hours at work thing lasts, though.  ugh

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Good luck, hope the work load stays reasonable for you!

  3. DemonGoddess

    I am so fucking tired of double shifts.  ugh

      Find a better gig?  IIRC, you’ve been on double shifts ever since I joined the server (about eight years now).

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      The double shifts are off an on.  it’s part of what happens when you’re a manager in retail ya know.  I’m salaried, so no OT fer me

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Oh, gods, been there, done that. I pointed out to one of my staff that they in fact made more money than me since they got overtime and I was salaried. It’s across all industries, I think, and it truly sucks. 

  4. DemonGoddess

    I FINALLY got the time to fix my computer issues, so I can access everything I haven’t been able to for a few months.  Now to get work under control, and I’ll be golden!

  5. DemonGoddess

    I forgot to mention in the announcement that I am waiting for ANY arcade system to be compatible to the latest version of the board.  

  6. DemonGoddess

    I have been down with this nasty flu bug since Monday.  Finally able to move around again.  Ugh.

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      It’s been a rough season already. I had a cold that took me out for nearly a week, and I’m still not quite right.

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      This flu hits like a fucking freight train.  Type A strain that’s currently going around. Thankful I was vaccinated, or I’d STILL be down.

    3. Wilde_Guess

      Best wishes to the both of you for a speedy recovery.

  7. DemonGoddess

    I have now lost 34 pounds since July 11!

      Running my ass off at work.  Different kind of physical activity for the work thing.

    3. pippychick

      pippychick

      Ah… I was afraid it would be something like that lol. Nothing worth getting is ever easy. It’s an amazing achievement. :)

    4. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      Wow! Congratulations!

  8. DemonGoddess

    I need a day off from work.  I need to be able to take a loooong weekend even.  HAH.  Hah, hah, hah.  Not likely in the near future :angry:

      Not a doctor, but I’ll prescribe a week off for you.

       

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yes, getting OT.  But ye gods, it doesn’t make up for it after awhile.

    4. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      “Irritation pay” should be a thing. :)

  9. DemonGoddess

    I need to spork out my eyes! :D

      Oh, true; but that requires one to crowd out the bad memories of what one’s seen, sadly; and to pay so little heed to it that it just disappears.
      Course, a genuine apology to one’s Maker is always a plus in odds of restoring sanity- but I do understand what you mean, DemonGoddess.

    3. manta2g

      manta2g

      At least you have filters for those logs. The cross referencing can be brain melting.  It would be more productive to use the spork on the the object of our frustrations. 😜 

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yeah, kind of have filters.  Going into the raw data and sorting it in a way that I can pinpoint a little quicker the incursions.

  10. DemonGoddess

    I really, REALLY wish shit would stabilize at work.  Two twelve hour days in a row :bash:

    1. GeorgeGlass

      GeorgeGlass

      Gyaaah. I had a week like that recently; not fun.

    2. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      I sure hope you’re at least getting paid overtime....

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Yeesh… Isn’t there an end to sight in all this overtime???

       

  11. DemonGoddess

    I will be very happy when July 31st gets here.  That’s when the extra $600 a week for unemployment finally expires.   That may sound horrible, but I’m on the opposite end of that.  I have worked through this entire thing, and the only applicants I’ve gotten for my critically short staffed store, have been applying for the unemployment requirement that they do so.  Have only had one day off since November 14th.  ONE.  Plus, I’m already on schedule for a minimum of 80 hours a week, and if anyone calls off, I get to cover it.  Because I don’t have enough staff.  So my average work week is more like 90 hours or better.  Awful damn tired of people working the system.

      Egads. Hope you go from understaffed to just staffed soon.

    3. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      We should have, between full and part time, 15 people.  We have 8.

      DemonGoddess

      yup, 12 hours yesterday, 17 the day before, no days off for the foreseeable future.  At least until we get our new hires in and trained.

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      But you have new hires, and hopefully it means an end in sight. And in the meantime, let us know how we can help.

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Keep doing what you’re doing, you guys are saving me!

  13. DemonGoddess

    I’m not sure what CAUSED the outage, but it’s now fixed.  It looks like our ISP had to reboot the server after I opened a ticket

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I managed to miss that outage. I was working on a spreadsheet, and then went out with the pup. I’m actually at my lake place now, and using my ancient and incredibly slow laptop, so I probably would have thought it was just my technology acting up again. 

      At least it was a quick resolution!

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Apparently we had a failing hard drive.  it finished failing this morning while I was at work, but Nexcess, being the excellent provider they are, had it fixed very quickly

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Well, if it’s like my recent internet outage, a squirrel did it.

  14. DemonGoddess

    It was an eventful October, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be easing up.  :angry:

      Stupid real life. I say we lobby to be put back into the Matrix and forget all of this ever happened.

    3. JayDee

      We are in The Matrix. Problem is, it’s being run by EA hence all the grinding and microtransactions.

      @JayDee all of a sudden I'm regretting all those Sims I've tortured over the years...

  15. DemonGoddess

    Keep yer fingers crossed that we get staffing issues finally settled for where I work.  It has been BRUTAL.  Sixty hours worked since Saturday.  And I’m not done.

      I feel your pain.  Training the newbies – who are younger than my children.  As if the work wasn’t exhausting enough!  Good Luck DG!

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yep, get paid OT.  But, it would be NICE to be awake to enjoy it!  Ah well.  Going into my third hell week, and then things should be evening out a bit.

  16. DemonGoddess

    Keep your fingers crossed for me, looks like I actually get a day off Thursday!

      It’s been a looooong month.  HATE being short staffed.  ugh.

    4. Arian-Sinclair

      Arian-Sinclair

      I feel you there. I remember being short staffed almost every night back when working at the doughnut place for my last job.

  17. DemonGoddess

    Looks like I finally got around my browser issues.  Now to reset up email

    One flower bed weeded,  four to go..

      I took the day off from one job, and I still have dinner to finish and a ton of laundry that needs doing….

    2. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      Yikes!  I got my clothes in the wash, and got called into work to finish second

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      You have got to be kidding me… they can’t let you have ONE day off????

       

  19. DemonGoddess

    So I have another ticket in, because now chat says the license has expired, which it hasn’t, and they need to fix that on their end.  *sighs*

      Oh, well, hells…

      I’ve been sucked in (finally!) by Dragon Age Inquisition. It’s actually amazing, and addictive.

      I need a “doesn’t like this but feels bad about this” button. Get well soon!

  21. DemonGoddess

    So we had another walk off, no great loss, the girl was LAZY and sporadic with attention, but still…..

  22. DemonGoddess

    So, as I’m sure many have noticed, I’ve been busy trying to work myself to death for the past five years or so.  So, in that time, I’ve worked ridiculous hours with very little time off, and often multiple shifts in a day.  As a result, I was more than a little unproductive here.

    I retired the end of March, and spent the first fourish months doing nothing but sleep.  Have one final test from my doctor on November 22nd, so should be done with all that shit for a bit as well by then.

    In the meantime, I am now checking all the email addresses I always did before, as I now have the time.  Am easing back into the archive repair, minor hunting, and other things I did as well.

    Sorry for the absence, but, glad to be back

      I get that.  I’m working on a few things before my echo cardiogram towards the end of November.

      Losing weight

      Regaining my mobility (see losing weight😅)

      Controlling my BP

      Quitting smoking

  23. DemonGoddess

    So, between the tooth of DOOOOOM (which I pulled yesterday), and my crazy work schedule that I’m adjusting to, it’s been a looooooong couple of weeks!

      It’s certainly worth looking into.  By the way, have I mentioned how much I love having a job where I get paid every week like I’m supposed to?

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      THAT part is awesome! :D

    4. DemonGoddess

      DemonGoddess

      yes, it really is!  Now I only have two past due bills, and those shouldn’t be past due for much longer.

  24. DemonGoddess

    So, I get to play catchup again, starting later tonight after work.  Ugh.  Of course, working 45 hours in the last 4 days MIGHT have something to do with it.  

    1. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Holy shit….

  25. DemonGoddess

    So, I’m on vacation this week.  Not going anywhere, just getting caught up.  Caught up the yard, and am now working on the house.  And the archive. :D

      On your vacation? That’s really friggin evil. Tell them you’re in Hawaii. 

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      @DemonGoddess  IMO, a vacation is a vacation.   Too bad about the accident involving the phone and a sledgehammer….  Or, dismiss the call as a scam. 

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Now, if you still have to go in, make it fun.   You could leave an empty roll of plastic wrap in the restroom.  Or, go for the game/adventure with a toilet paper scavenger hunt.
