Bullshit

That's what I said that all the paperwork is to the head of my experiment. I think we can expect that he won't be giving me a recommendation.

Ok, but please. I have worked here for 2.5 years and all of a sudden I need 4 MORE certificates on things like :

• personal protective equiptment (make sure you wear shoes to work)
• environmental hazards (don't eat glue)
• hazard communications (don't put the phone to your face cause you might break out)

I mean come on! How is this necessary? Apparently all new employees have to take these. I didn't have to take these when I started here. So they waited until they had the tests online for all current users of the lab so they could do them then. Whatever, I have five other training types but apparently being radiation ready or able to assist in the beam pipe just isn't good enough. I hate this bureaucratic government bullshit.

I love it, cause no one here knows how to deal with me. When I ask what's the point, they say, "cause you have to". I LOVE it. My dad can attest that my side of the family does not like this kind of crap.

What a shitty day this ended up being.

Oh yeah....and Jason and I aren't going to get paid 550 dollars of our salary (we get a cost of living adjustment for the move from Southern-Indiana-Hickville to Chicago-Land-Of-Coolness). They knew about this at the end of September, we found out today (yes that's right almost 2 weeks later) that we wont' be getting this. I so was planning on getting that money this month and so spent accordingly. Well, I'll tell you what, I am going to love the blinds and curtains I put up in my bedroom cause I'm probably going to have to be eating them by the end of the month. AWESOME. What makes this even better is that while I was about 2 dollars above minimum wage, now I'm like 50 cents above. See, they aren't treating us like slave labor. Again I say Bullshit.

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

Ok, pissy act is over. Shift is almost over. Time to go home.
