Well, work was interesting today. As some of you may know, I've been working in the imaging department of a homebuiler for the past month, through a temp agency. I went to lunch at 1:00, came back at 2:00, then from 2:00 to 3:00 we had our popcorn/soda party (reward for scanning a million documents last month). Then at 3:00 the department manager pulled me and two guys, and told us to meet our supervisor in a conference room way across the office. We had no idea what was going on, so we were obviously nervous.

She was waiting for us in the conference room, and started going into a lecture about how the head honchos had come and observed our department last week, and decided that some of the temps had to be cut. I think all three of us thought "crappppppp" at that moment. But then she said they had to choose the best temps to keep, and that we were it!

Meanwhile, the department manager had taken everyone else (seven people) into the other conference room to give them their bad news. After that he came over to our little meeting and told us that we WILL be hired permanently after our temp contract is up

All the temps that had to be let go were already gone from the building by the time we got out of our meeting. They left all of their trash, and even some of their belongings! I bet some of them were pretty upset. It's sad. Some of them were really good workers. But that's business I guess, and I still have a job! With only three of us now instead of ten, we definitely won't be scanning a million documents every month, but that was never expected from our department to begin with.

WHEW. For a brief moment today I was afraid I'd have to go back to Macy's

Didnt you work at the library at one point?

lurch70 · October 10th, 2008, 09:08 PM

i worked in imaging for 3 weeks back in 1997. they wanted to hire me full time AND make me a supervisor within that time. i quit.
have a friend that's been working in that field, scanning for litigation support, for over 15 years and loves it. its a great money making business but it bored the shit out of me.

Yep.

I applied once but they never called, and their policy states not to call them

I'm happy with this job, moreso than any other at this point. So I'm glad I'm sticking around, even if this means that I will be expected to work harder in the absence of the seven that were let go. It is boring, but soooooo pleasant.

Last night I rode my bike back from the pubs, and on the way back I crashed really fucking hard. From the crash I received an ear that was ripped in half, a huge cement burn on my neck, a huge bruise near my temple, and a neck that hurts.

ct_thrash · October 11th, 2008, 08:34 PM

Pics or it didn't happen?

EricT · October 11th, 2008, 08:42 PM

Yeah, bikes plus drunk don't work. I've gotten in a few pretty good bike crashes after trying to ride it to the store drunk.

Of course, I still insist on riding it drunk to del taco at 2am...
