Happy Friday the 13th.

Warning:  Gripe Post

if you want something positive wait for Jessica to post again.

I arrived in my lovely little downstairs office in time to start work.

I hadn't even taken a call when my Internet connection dropped and I had to reboot.

Then I get an "Important System Update" from corporate.

Don't worry, it was a real update.  I'm not THAT dumb.

Now my computer won't reboot.

I called Tech Support:

"hmmm.  Must have been corrupted.  Bring in the computer so we can wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything."

So I had to commute to work.

I though we need some groceries.  I'll got to Costco on the way home when I get off at 3:15

3:00:  Ring ring,

Hello, this is Ron, how can I help you???

Please let it be an easy one so I can go home.

Hi, I'd like some help cashing in my points for flights on Lufthansa.

Ok.  that's not so bad.  Should only take me a couple of minutes.

Sorry, you don't have enough points.

3:17 (remember I get off at 3:15)

Can you do a conference call with USAIR to check their availability.

3:30, no availability  What about Air Canada?

3:56 still waiting for Air Canada to answer the %$#%^# phone.

4:09 Finally, no availability for Air Canada

4:30 Thanks.  Bye

.........

4:35 Documenting call.  Caught a mistake from previous associate.  Now I'm back on the phone with the airlines.  Remember how I'm off at 3:15?

5:15.  [Company name Deleted] can take this job and shove it.

At least till Monday
