Today I took a huge step forward toward retirement. I finished filling out all my retirement forms and sent the SF-52 the required notification form to Albuturkey. You read that correctly - that is one of the reasons I am pulling th plug and retiring - because nothing they do down AT ALBUTURKEY works - NOTHING.
We were presented with another program this afternoon from which all pay checks are generated. The simple design of the damned thing assured that it wouldn't work - couldn't work - they set it up so every seasonal employee has to do their own time and has to learn all of the requirements for doing that....and guess what....they initiated it 8/3 - one day before they gave us the training on how to use it. Nobody can answer how we are going to fix the seasonal employee problem - NOBODY.
"TECHNOLOGY - DESTINED TO FAIL - AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT!!!!!" Dee Ice Hole
MURPHY WAS AN OPTIMIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.
