#348 Sleep DeprivaShawn

Nothing like a call at 1 AM in the morning and then having to  do work for an hour... and THEN try to get back to sleep... by 3:30 am...

*SIGH*

It's gonna be an early night tonight, me thinks...

#263 Rant of FrustraShawn

My On-Call (work) cell phone battery is close to empty. And that's because it's been ringing off the hook (so to speak). I'm not charging it. And furthermore, I don't really give a flying fig if someone tries to reach me and they can't! Deal with your problem and solve it yourself! And that goes double for Typhoid Mary who all of the sudden doesn't' know how to log in o our servers via VPN Something she's been doing for over 10 years). Not my problem. You can't log in remotely, then get in your car and head to the office. 

On Monday, if the Boss so much as says 'peep' about it I'll hand it back to him and tell him HE can be on call 7 days a week, plus monitor all the flights on Saturday and Sunday, because it's not in my job description and it's really getting to the point where it's not worth the bother of the hours that I bank.

Quite frankly, I am done.

Here endth the rant.

#207 Weekend ExhasutShawn

In general I work every Saturday from home. I manually check the movement of all our company's shipments from within Canada via Fed/Ex and Air Canada.  It's 10 minutes here and ten minutes there. I can still go out and do all my usual Saturday activities, and on top I get a minimum 2 hrs of banked time, which I can take from days off, so really it is worth it... no one else in the office can bank hours.

But, on occasion due to production issues, I have to pull considerably more hours work and end up spending the greater part of the afternoon in front of my laptop. Today was such a day. I'm already over 5 hors into it and have another good 45 minutes to an hour before I'm done.

It's already 9 PM and I did not see the day go by...

UGH!
