Well I got a F you at work last night
Because they announced who is going to the new shifts in the pre meeting so I asked why was I overlooked in over another person and was told we need you for this shift
To which I answered the 4 times I have tired for that job are......?
But this was in front of a lot of my co workers and some of the things said were where I turned the store in for being shit to the company with a few pictures {Oh they were mad and still mad I did that as "we wanted to talk about that before you did that" a lot of my co workers did not know that you could do that or that was the story behind the constant visits from high ups
Still I told them that the only place I seem to be wanted to go is out those doors

We start our SAP go-live on Monday. It's going to be an absolute shitshow.
I've heard the best way to survive being hunted is to not act like prey and instead act like a predator (which we are). Predators don't really like to kill other predators because it's risky as fuck and not usually worth the gains unless you're desperate and/or hungry. So like, be loud and puff yourself out and throw shit at them.
Not sure how true that is.
That would probably work great if the predator is hunting you for food.
If the predator isn't hunting and is just pissed off at you for reasons (defending cubs, startled, just an asshole predator, etc) then it is probably less effective.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

Every SAP problem I have right now follows the same path:
SAP seems to randomly not trigger a thing that makes this order incomplete. This other completely identical order, everything is triggered on that, but not on this.
▽
We can't make it trigger, we have to find a way to do it manually, and I think I know which transaction to use.
▽
No one actually has access to that transaction. Well crapbaskets.
Except the outsourced support guy who probably has access to it because I guess it's technically his job, but I'd rather sever a limb than tell him to go into SAP and start messing with stuff.

Last year while attending, I received word that I was going to Japan for two months. It was a great time!
This year, about 10 minutes ago in fact, I have officially accepted a new job with a new company offering a 20% salary increase and the possibility of more Japan trips.
Way to go, Hitler.

Somehow, despite this switchover having been in the works for at least four years we are totally unprepared and oh my god there's going to be so much blood.

What are you switching from? SAP is pretty decent.
Right now we have a partial SAP implementation, mostly for interco ordering and some of our inventory. Other than that we use a hodgepodge of 3rd party programs for stuff like lab inventory, project management, accounting, document control, and quality notofications. The rest of the company is strictly SAP so this will attempt to bring us in line with everyone else. Basically they should have done this 13 years ago when they acquired our site but decided it was too much trouble.
To give you an idea of how this is going: One of the big reasons we're doing this is to have better visibility in our supply chain so we can plan projects more accurately around material availability. Except the next step up in the supply chain from us is on a different version of SAP, so we won't actually have any more visibility until whenever they get around to upgrading their system. Instead we're just plugging a bunch of "best guess" timeframes for materials into our system and hoping for the best.
So, got my annual review today and received a 4/5 score. Which is good, because this leads into the whole "looking to become a senior developer" career goal.

seeing as how i was put under a new manager a few weeks ago i do not think i'll be getting a performance review. regardless, i'm unlikely to have gotten a raise, no matter how stellar my performance may have been.
That is also probably the most disturbing CGI I've ever seen.
They also have one on how to survive a bear attack and as a last-resort tactic, they recommend shoving your arm down the bear's throat
Which apparently some guy did in 2015
Dellwo said he only had time to take a few steps back before the bear knocked him off his feet and bit his head. [...] The bear then bit Dellwo’s leg and shook him, tossing him in the air. As the bear came at the man again Dellwo recalled a story he read in a magazine.
“I remembered an article that my grandmother gave me a long time ago that said large animals have bad gag reflexes,” he said. “So I shoved my right arm down his throat.”
Ugh, just finishing up my first twelve hour night shift. It's been pretty brutal for someone used to working 8 hour evening shifts. But I get the next three days off, then I work 12 hour day shifts for the next five weeks, then switch back to 12 hour night shifts, etc.
I miss evening shift already, but the 12 hour rotating shifts are here to stay unfortunately.
once you get used to 12h shifts they aren't so bad. Although being on straight nights for 5 weeks i can see sucking.
Are you working 40 hour weeks (possibly averaged over 5 weeks)? If so, you will get more actual days off than working 8h shifts.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Found out ineffectual weekend supervisor got promoted to be my boss, and I got a middling annual review. Fuck this, going to dump most of my shit on her, stop coming in early and insist on leaving when I'm supposed to.

Had my 5 hour long interview, pretty gruelling but their competency based questions and roleplaying weeded out 4 of the 7 people I started the day with

This is incredibly trivial compared to the real physical threats that many people in the us are now facing, but when I moved here it was with the intent of leveraging my current position into a job in the us robotics/space industry, because up until now this is where things have been really happening, and it's exciting and I wanted to do stuff that would eventually matter.
And now, even if I can stay beyond this visa, I'm not sure I should. Or if there's a path for me here, given the political and economic climate. It's probably the jetlag talking, but I abruptly feel very adrift.
This week has been super bad and good lord I am tired of working on commission, and also sales, and also people.
I've been resisting going all in on job hunting, thinking I can just survive till fall, but I don't know if I can handle too many more weeks like this.
So fuck this, time to buckle down and go nuts applying to everything that I even think I'm qualified for. Also time to study up on all my old RF/electrical theory knowledge, cause taking a year off sure didn't do me any good in that area.
you absolutely can, provided I can somehow acquire a couch
or take mine with me, but at this point I'm legit worried about being turned away at the border next time I try to enter so I might have to abandon my belongings

SAP? Read this: http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-last-days-of-target-canada/
The only reason I read this is so I feel better about my experience with SAP.
It's really not as cool as it sounds. I had to read through this long online certification text and take quizzes each chapter. Took about four hours.
Looking hopeful, haven't had a full time job with good benefits in forever
I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees.
Oh yeah, that article's been e-mailed around the office a couple of times.
My opinion of SAP is that it's bad, but the alternatives are worse.
Most of that went to family
That was also from three jobs.
Be really nice to have extra capital to get online certification in something to help job chances. Like gis certification.
