Yeah I rarely post stuff like this, but I've just had a crappy day at work and it isn't over yet. To put it in perspective one of my co-workers over in purchasing said: "Yeah we have a bad day when our fax machine is broken, you have a bad day when you have to worry about radiation leaks."
And because our X-Ray fluoresence machine isn't functioning properly everyone's after my hide even though it isn't my fault it broke, the thing's been limping along on its last legs for a while.

(the radiation leaks aren't serious, it probably isn't leaking and it's not leaking anything terribly harmful if it is, a hunk of metal which we have sitting over the opening is sufficient to block it, But it's not recalibrating itself correctly because the trigger mechanism spring is broken)
But because it isn't reliably ascertaining alloys it is backing up the metal parts inventory for the entire company.

(((AJ))) Hang in there, hon. My workplace has the possibility of radiation danger too, but not in any of the parts of the building where I typically have to go. I'm glad yours sounds not-terribly-serious.

Hmm you know I bet the threat of going down and kicking the metal door thingy open would buy you some alone time... and possibly a strait jacket...
*hugs*

This is the reason we have pets. They always make you feel better... especially the cute fluffy kind. Posts: 1417 | Registered: Aug 1999

well so far so so today. I've been trying to improve my job performance to make my boss happy. We had a long meeting today. Basically he's not going to be happy unless I come in at 7:30 am regardless of whether I get stuff done or not. The problem is that arriving at 7:30am physically kills me over time. I don't know why. But, every time I've had an early start time at any job it's sent my emotionally and physically into a downward spiral. (which I'm already partially on anyway). So I don't know what to do. I love my job otherwise... and I need it. I guess I'll survive.

*hugs* This is the time to call in the evil twin. Promise her the pick of the puppy litter if she'll go in early for you.

I'm so sorry, AJ! Can you work out something where you stay later instead of coming in earlier?

I completely agree. I just can't do mornings, no matter how long I get up early for. If I could start at 9 or 10 and work until 5:30 or 6:30, I would.
Clearly, the solution is for you and Steve to move to Canada so you and I can start a company and set our own hours.
