Piracy in many forms...
Apr. 9th, 2009 10:32 amSo I think I'm really far behind on the Flist, but don't expect me to catch up today, because I'm back in the left wrist brace. It's not too bad, but no drawing this morning for me. Nor much typing, even.
So, job. Argh job. Argh argh argh. After having to call them again because I still wasn't getting the schedule, it finally came through. It's a schedule that covers two weeks, over the course of which I work... no hours. Zero. If they have no work for me, why did they hire me? It's also bugging me that their default payment system uses this thing like a debit card, which has fees attached to almost absolutely everything including checking the balance, and no it doesn't matter what ATM you use, so basically I have to pay a fee to get my pay? She briefly mentioned that if you really want you can get direct deposit set up, which I will of course do, except what's the point when I'm not working any hours? I need to call the food stamps people, and now I really don't know what to tell them. I have a job now, but I'm not working.
Also: Pirates. WTF. Real pirates. One the one hand, OMG, real pirates! On the other hand, what is the state of the world that this is a real problem again? And it sounds like it was food type supplies, which is just... sad. I mean sad that such a necessity is what drives people to it. Yurgh.
Bridgie's got her phone interview for unemployment today, everyone send prayers or something, but I think if I got it, there's no reason she shouldn't. Like me, the boss can't come up with any specific thing she did that's a firing reason. I think she'll be fine, but I remember how nerve-wracking the process is.
Wrist resting time is naow.
