Wow, she deleted her account.

If you can see this, I apologize for any offense you may have felt at what went on in my journal.

The interwebs can be a mean mean place.

As much as I like Samuel L Jackson, I am not sure Nick Fury is the right role for him.

Will Smith in a zombie movie makes me warm and fuzzy though.

And I'm praying for rain... [Jun. 14th, 2007|07:36 am]
A drought in Lynchburg, Tenn., is putting the production of legendary Jack Daniel's whiskey at risk. The spring used to craft Jack Daniel's may dry up, and although the Tennessee whiskey maker is conserving the water, distillers are wondering what may happen if the spring goes dry.

This video has more about how the drought is affecting Jack Daniel's production, and why they may need to stop producing the whiskey until water levels increase.

The latest Drought Monitor shows that most of southern Tennessee is in a severe drought. Nearby Nashville has only received 13.95 inches of precipitation this year, more than 9 inches below average.

According to the Jack Daniel's website, the water at the spring "flows year-round at 800 gallons per minute at a constant temperature of 56°and is virtually iron free. It’s the reason why the distillery was located in this spot originally –- and why it’s remained there ever since. Just outside the cave you’ll find a statue of Jack Daniel. The man himself, standing guard over this prized spring."

Holy inaccurate stress test batman!

Ok, how can you possibly be wrong by 10 servers on a citrix stress test? I mean 10 physical servers.

In other news I am working on my day off.

Ok, so maybe I am just cranky cause I fell through the ceiling yesterday and it hurts, but what the fuck is up with me being the only one who actually stays on the phone in this place?

There were 2 people in a meeting with HR, ok, they get a pass. The 2 people who were signed off their phones sitting over there BSing while there were calls waiting can suck a dick. It's not that I hate my job, I just hate the people I work with. Mondays and Fridays make me hate my job, everyone I work with on the weekends is cool.

I don't understand how you can have a call center where people just sign off their phones for no reason and go wandering around. I might do my share of goofing off when I am not on a call, but at least I am at my desk ready to answer it when it comes in. Now our stats for the day are shot for the day and when Tuesday comes the director is going to come ask me why we had 5 (20%) abandoned calls before 8 AM.

Hmmm, what shall I say?

Take THAT!! I wrote and angry blog entry about it!!! That will show them!



ETA: Hah! We all have HR meetings to fill out anonymous surveys. What a lovely day for that!

Edited to add something else: My raise went through today. This is the only place that has ever processed my raise on time. Too bad I didn't get my check stub before my survey.

Grrrr, so they changed my shift so I am working late next Friday without asking me.


I sent a carefully worded email letting them know this is not acceptable.

Now I wait.

ETA

Well my schedule is still all effed up for the week, but at least I still get to leave on time for music festival.
