New things suck

Sometimes anyway.
We have installed a new system at work and so far I have had to fix it just about every day we've had it!!!  It is so frustrating.  And exhausting because I feel like I have been baby sitting again, except this time it's both a person AND a computer!  I almost feel like I really am needing an eye in the back of my head.  "Now don't you do that!"  "Stop that!"  "Don't do that, do this!"  GAH!  I am so tired!  Don't get me wrong, she is a big help answering the phones and such and the new system is better with credit cards (if we input the correct total) but certain things just bug me.
To other things, we now have our Hound Dog back so he needs a home people!  He really is the sweetest man!  Good with children!  He isn't on yet, but our (meaning Rincon's Unwanted Furry Friends) site does have the kitties we sponsor right now.

Why am I like this?


Right now I am in such a bad mood.  Not that I want to talk about work all the time but I must get it out some how.  Anyway, we're installing a new processing system, so we not only had Regina and I, and the occasional tech bringing up paperwork, there were two other guys, and they took up an entire computer.  I was annoyed by it, but I wasn't upset yet at this point.  I felt confined and ill though.  One of those guys left, which made it better.  But the other guy was showing Regina how to fix a mistake because she had made one.  Well, in fixing her mistake, he made an even bigger one that I could not fix without calling the owner!  And when we found out his mistake, it was long after he had left.  I was so mad at him!  So he not only screwed up, but taught Regina wrong!  I could freaking do the guy's job!  I just don't have any patience right now for stupid mistakes.  I have to be very civil tomorrow since he is coming back.  But I have learned how to be civil anyway because of people I work with (one of whom by the way is not only smoking while pregnant but drinking too!).  I fear though it is getting harder and harder to be civil...

And another thing!  I AM NOT HELPLESS!  If I hear "you don't need to be doing that" one more time I will flip out.  Also, if you don't want me to be doing it, then effing react!  Sure that dog was a DOA, but we didn't know that at the time.  And yes, I hesitated - and RVT was standing there.  She really should have been the one to asses the dog's condition.  But she didn't move (because she was acting as office manager at that time?  Or because she was in her nice silk shirt?), so I did.  Sometimes time is a factor as to whether an animal lives or dies.  So it's not like I didn't give her (or another receptionist) a chance to get her first.  Lets see if we get a memo about it.  Oh and thanks to my informant for letting me know...
Oh well, something good about today....

There has to be something good about today!

I know!  The bird!  Calypso!  Cool bird!  It was a blue and gold macaw.  Must be the biggest and coolest bird I have encountered in my career (domestic anyway-we have had certain wild raptors come through).  It would say "What does a rooster say?" and you were supposed to crow.  But I wouldn't crow, even being a Peter Pan fan.  Thinking now, not sure why I wouldn't.  But when I asked it what a rooster says, he crowed!  He was really neat, I couldn't get enough.  Oh and here is a picture of what it looked like!

Ranting time


I am so tired of babysitting adults who should be able to handle things themselves.  I am extremely tired of people who do not do their job.  I am done with fixing other people's mistakes.  I am also tired of these stupid clients.  Right now I have a major Clerks mentality.
Randal Graves: You know who I can do without? I can do without the people in the video store. 
Dante Hicks: Which ones? 
Randal Graves: All of them.
 
I am definitely Randal right now.
Randal Graves: This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers. 
Well, them and more.
Also, pregnant girls who smoke and complain all the time about being pregnant do not deserve to be pregnant.  If you don't fucking want a child you should have taken precautions to not even get pregnant!  There are people who cannot get pregnant or have been trying who would love to be in your position!  Get over yourself!
I am sorry.
I just had to get it out...

On a lighter note, I am really looking forward to the roast I made for dinner and a friend invited me to Tybee tomorrow.
