Sometimes department chairpersons do things without telling anyone. And sometimes these things can have a deleterious effect on other peoples' careers.

My department chair just did something without telling anyone. He just hired his friend's wife to teach my class. No more Professor Lepidopteran.

Fucker.

19:00 / 12.09.05

Since no one's supposed to know yet, I'm getting a Fac/Staff parking sticker anyway. Nyah.

:S

I'd rather get a paycheck, frankly.

21:54 / 12.09.05

Is there any chance your former employer(s) are giving you a bad recommendation?

I don't think so. I've been careful to specifically put down my immediate manager from my last job as a referee, because we got on well and held the same sort of opinions about the various things that went on there. As long as the phone calls are actually getting to her, she'll be bigging me up.

It's worth checking out, though - I'll be walking past there tomorrow (on my way home from signing on, natch) so I'll pop in and check, make sure that attempts to contact her aren't being intercepted.

21:57 / 12.09.05

Oh, and Lep, that's shitty. Is there no appeals or complaints procedure you can put into action?

22:41 / 12.09.05

Thanks, and no - no contract. Adjunct faculty get no respect, and music tech faculty get less than none.

Dear London Thameslink:

Could you tell me why the 8.34 from ***** to ******* was cancelled today, and why in general Thameslink seems to find running that particular service so difficult? Is the honest answer perhaps "Because we hate London commuters and want to subject them to as uncomfortable a journey as possible, while also making them late for work"? Does it entertain you to think of all those people who, like myself, have to catch an earlier train than the one that ought to get them to work on time, because that train is always, ALWAYS delayed, apart from when it is - ho ho - NOT THERE AT ALL?

Lazy Fucking bastard director!

i spent all day friday and Monday working on a pitch for you- even though you couldn't make it into the office to discuss face to face because the damn cricket was on- so everything is ready for approval last night and just because we won teh cricket you go out on the piss- and turn your fucking phone off. YOU ARE AN ARSE! I waited at the office till 9 pm - as i'm aware its important that we win this job but it would have been nice to have gone home to my dinner and my evening with my partner- and where are you today- IN BED WITH A FUCKING HANGOVER. CUNT!

Everyone at the company has pulled out the stops for you but you don't come in cos your a 'special creative person' that is costing me my bonuses because if we don't win the job i don't get them... despite my hard work. selfish shit.

12:23 / 13.09.05

I think someone needs to go over Lazy Fucking Bastard Director's head, Copey.

12:46 / 13.09.05

Sadly Lazy Fucking Bastard director is very special at the moment as he has a movie out and everyone is kissing his arse/ worried he will leave/ be poached so he gets to act like a prick- teh MD has apolgised to me (she is also pulling her hair out), although its not her fault if he acts like specialprick. He's meant to be in at 3 so i'll keep you posted.

I don't care if it's a philosophical impossibility, I urgently need to go back and shoot 2001 me in the face.

It's no consolation to know that 2009 me will feel exactly the same about now me.

09:46 / 14.09.05

Stupid pointless fucking beauracracy. Why does no one know how to do ONE FUCKING THING that should be simple? Why can no one answer my questions direcly withouut having to call someone else who also doesn't know? Why am I getting shoved from pillar to post and wasting the whole morning trying to execute simple fucking tasks that should take two minutes? ARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

Everyone's too busy on the Internet?

11:40 / 14.09.05

Argh! Just read a piece by some consultant plugging his £645 report about the future of broadcasting in which he claims that (among other non-sequiturs and meaningless but impressive-sounding jargon) "Open Source TV" [sic] will be successful when Hollywood and big sports buy the rights. Or something. Bwuh? I'll probably foward it to Tom or NTK to take the piss out of. Bad science!

13:55 / 14.09.05

Oh man. I just vented to Loomis about this so my fury isn't quite so white hot. But still. I work with someone who is, on the surface, a reasonable and intelligent man. But talking to him or reading an email is like reading something that's been converted to English through a poor translation engine - it LOOKS like English but when you start to try and make sense, it's just sheer buffoonery.

Do people learn this at management school? How to respond with a pile of piffle that *sounds* like sensible suggestion but is in fact so full of contradictions that everyone else is left thinking, "what? You want .. I'm sorry, but what do you want?" And I'm sure he's built a whole career on this - bamboozling everyone.

14:07 / 14.09.05

As Lord Morgue said the other day (quoting Oscar Wilde) “the well bred contradict others, the wise contradict themselves”. Ask him if he’s wise !! Go on!! Be sure to ask in a Adam from Cold Feet way – “are you wiiiiise?”

People who tell me I have a job that will definitely be able to start on the 15th, and make me jump through hoops and get piss tests and such, and then tell me in fact I do NOT have a job for reasons entirely unrelated to my performance and skill.

In the same day getting an email that the job I had applied for thinking it would be a better position than the one (I thought) I already HAD has been filled. And not by me.

HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE NOT HIRE ME??? HOW DARE YOU???

18:29 / 15.09.05

I think I've just been rather infuriatingly passively-aggressed at, but the passive nature of the aggression makes it hard to tell if I'm the intended receipient/target. Thus, this Urgh! Fuck! is designated "conditional," pending confirmation.

18:59 / 15.09.05

Obfuscation/ambiguity is the purpose of passive-aggression, duuude.

19:05 / 15.09.05

Oh yessss. Specific enough to whip the victim into a bloody froth, yet ambiguous enough to make hir look at best unreasonable and at worst a complete psycho if ze responds in anger... uuuuhhh.... the cravings are back. The craaaaavings... must... resist...

00:26 / 16.09.05

I just fixed you! You got a new battery and a new alternator! Now you want new spark plugs, and/or possibly a new fuel injector?! Possibly something much more bloody expensive? Why do you do these things? Why when I'm at Staples, hm? Why when the wife's at work, and won't be getting out till midnight? Why when it's really hot? You bastard. There's a cola can's worth of metal in you. Stop whining.

Why cannot I not clone myself? That way, one of me could chill with Quantum and J and watch Top Gun (wheeeeeeeeee) and the other could hoof to London for Poptimism. I'd have to clone my bank balance, obv.

I wish to do both of these things equally and I cannot do them both. This is Teh Wrong.

01:42 / 17.09.05

I've just been threatened with a straight razor on the bus home. How's everyone?

02:27 / 17.09.05

Better than you apparently. I hope you're unhurt.

02:43 / 17.09.05

Sorry to read that Triplets, that's totally fucked up.

04:49 / 17.09.05

You know what gives me untamed headsick and rage? Hearing that someone cool, whose contributions to the general level of discourse on teh inturweb I appreciate, has been threatened with a straight razor. That pisses me off.

I hope you gutted the bastard, or got him arrested at least.

09:08 / 17.09.05

Yo, yeah I'm fine, just annoyed. There's more ancillary shit that I might unpack for more Urgh!-value later on. Am talking to the Polees later today.

The Commission for Racial Equality needs to hear words from the Commission for tree equality. Three pieces of paper to renew one little subscription when they could use email. Jeeezzzus.

09:45 / 21.09.05

Why is it that when you arrange for a tradesman to visit your home (in this case a heating engineer to fix my boiler) the bastards never turn up? I waited an hour and a half for this jerk and he didn't even have the decency to call to say he couldn't make it. Of course, I could have phoned him and asked him where he was but....I've been here before. Some half-arsed mumbled apology and a promise to phone you back.

Yeah right!

Triplets - just read this - sorry to hear it. Night buses are getting more and more shit it seems. Hope you're OK. Don't let the bastards grind you down. Take care.

Yeah, Triplets- fuck. Glad you're okay. How did it go with the rozzers?

10:26 / 21.09.05

Gah, Triplets. Hope you're doing okay, that stinks.

My whinge is minor in comparison, but I'm doing it anyway.

Fvcking DSS! I hand my form in personally, on time and get a receipt and they still manage to lose it for a couple of days.

Thus making it seem that I haven't returned it, and my benefits being *automatically cancelled*. Which means that my rent is later than ever and while I wait for them to post my fvcking Giro, I
a)Have no money
b)Am playing hide and seek with my landlords. Again.

Fvck you, you incompetent Cormorants. ARRRRGGHHHHH!
