Answering the phone is distressing enough as it is.
Oh shit, that's a Nortel. Umm, yeah a manual is going to be your best bet. I might be able to re-figure it all out if I had the unit physically in front of me...
It's something like Feature * 6 and then you can cycle through the tones somehow, I think?
Well I have been fired. But... ADA may be a factor here, since my boss didn't bring up my OCD or request for reasonable accommodations with HR. (He said I should talk to HR but hey they've already fired me... I have until Friday to sort this out, aka my last day.)
This week is homecoming so also spirit week. This partially explains why I am currently at work dressed like Marty McFly.
Has anyone told you "Hello!"?
No because this school sucks and only like 6 other staff bothered any kind of dressing up and I'm very depressed about it right now.
I can never participate and still be able to do my job. I'm angry at all the people in your school that could do something fun but aren't.
I largely got over it by eating a bunch of chocolate. Tomorrow is “dream job” day and from asking around it seems like there will be more staff participation.
I will, of course, be a Ghostbuster. I need to do my preliminary sweep of the school for ghosts before the boo bash in two weeks when I bring the full gear.
It's never anything interesting. It's always someone calling the ambulance on someone laying on the sidewalk, like they think we can turn their life around. What's usually the case is they just left the hospital and got some more heroin/meth/whatever. They don't actually care about the problem, they just don't want to see it.

I’m really sorry, that’s totally unfair and shitty
I hope ada is a factor, and good luck handling all of that!

Well...what am I supposed to do in this situation? If I make contact and determine that emergency medical services beyond my training are required, what should I do instead?
Or, like, people just call to report somebody laying on the sidewalk, and the caller is not on scene when you arrive?

Breaking in a new security guard. It's always a delicate process trying to teach them the difference between "weird and antisocial" and "weird and antisocial enough to be asked to leave the library."

You can ask them if they want help first. EMS will transport anyone to the hospital for liability reasons.
The dude that caused me to bitch is now gone. Someone saw him walking funny on the street and drove him here to be seen. He diarrhea'd on our floor in the triage area and walked out. Didn't even finish triage. Thanks lady. She's probably at home telling her family about what a good person she was today.

Gave my two weeks on Monday, starting a new gig on the 21st. Shorter commute, more money, better title, gonna get some supervisory experience, should be lower stress too.

I stayed home sick today because I woke up with a monstrous headache. Note migraine level but I was certainly having some light sensitivity and fuck staring at screens all day with that. Took some meds and went back to bed, finally started feeling decent after noon. Still blegh though.
Did you all know that if a catheter hose is not attached to a bag, there's going to be a bit of a mess?

I'm trying to manage the stress of my healthcare system supply chain job a little better, post vacation, letting work stress stay at work, that sort of thing
I'm having to slow down my job search and just chill out
Because I cannot seem to find a job that wouldn't be a big step backwards in pay
I cannot afford a $5/hr paycut
I'm making $19/hr now, and I'm not rolling in ducats, but I cannot go backwards
I'm trying to be more assertive while at work, while simultaneously not giving a fuck once I leave
I was making 19.43 a hour as a stupidvisor at Wal mart but I was not living large as I found cutting cable, water and power use and losing the car I could barely live with some breathing room
basically I am finding nothing in the area for a job

Day 2 in the books at my new gig and I have been doing things! Other than watching training videos on the computer things! Cleaning up Finished tickets, wiping data from server hard disks, even helping get a laptop ready to send to one of our remote employees who lives in Canada. I don't feel completely inadequate even though I'm new! I've been able to work at my own pace and everyone seems really pleasant to be around and work with thus far! So far so good.
Brainleech, it doesn't sound like the area has been good to you in the least
Maybe it's time to pursue change and find a job somewhere less awful?
I am looking with help from the VA
It's just very disheartening and depressing to look

I goofed at work. I sat in after call for 24 minutes without realizing. Gonna be a pain in the ass to fix my schedule adherence.
Also kind of having allergies I think. Tickling feeling in my nose all day. Really annoying. Washed my hands and dried them off then used hand sanitizer to felt in my nose to see if there was a hair or something. Slightly paranoid about brain eating amoeba. This anxiety has reminded me to take my anxiety medicine I found and I am also scheduling an appointment tomorrow to see about getting a new prescriptions so I can keep going with this.

So the new job is so far cool. I've found out the company that I'm going to be working with and the kind of equipment I'll be designing. I'll learning more details today and Thursday regarding those. The building is pretty swank even though I don't have an office, it's a good sized cube. There are free drinks, including seltzer and diet dr. pepper, cheap snacks, free bread (can't eat), and fresh fruit. They also grind the coffee (Starbucks French Roast & Pike's Peak). When I was chatting with the IT guy about how happy I was with the setup I said, "It's great, I couldn't ask for anything more, aside from a ping pong table." And he was like, "Dude, we have a ping pong table!" And we do! I went and checked it out, it's in great shape as are the paddles. Also, we're going to be getting a gym at the end of the month with a Pelaton bike (free accounts for all) and a concept 2 rower. There will be dumb bells too but I don't know the specifics. Looking forward to getting my row on.
The client I'll work with is in Connecticut, and I'll be spending about a week at a time there. Apparently 2 out of the 3 hotels are dog friendly so I can bring Rosie's dumb butt with me, which is great. I'm really really excited to get going on the project.
One downside, I did spot some mold on a few ceiling tiles, meaning there was water intrusion in the past. I brought in my air quality monitor and it read as excellent, so I won't be too loaded down with spores but it might not be a bad idea to request a thorough examination of the building.
I feel fairly crappy today. Don't accidentally cold turkey yourself off your meds, kids.
I don't know if this will make you feel better, but after seeing your posts I set a follow up with my med guy before I ran out of anxiety medicine so thanks a lot!

It's a pretty typical office touchtone phone.
I can never participate and still be able to do my job. I'm angry at all the people in your school that could do something fun but aren't.
Looking up the manual online right now.
Answering the phone is distressing enough as it is.
The Cisco IP phones usually have a pretty easy to find and navigate settings menu or or button.
The old Nortel phones (I hope nobody but my old job on the coast still uses those) were less intuitive.
Oh shit, that's a Nortel. Umm, yeah a manual is going to be your best bet. I might be able to re-figure it all out if I had the unit physically in front of me...

Ok lets here some stories. I could go for that today.

All in all, I give the new job a 5 out of 7.
Which means their is posters everywhere telling us to “join the unmind”.
It’s a little unsettling considering I’m editing my third novel, which features corporate workers becomeing subsumed by a hive consciousness.
At least “The Unmind” is a great name for something when I get around to working on the Sci-fi horror ideas I have.
I don't know if this will make you feel better, but after seeing your posts I set a follow up with my med guy before I ran out of anxiety medicine so thanks a lot!
Glad to be of use!
