jawtheshark's Journal: Work is da sucks!

Now this will most certainly have a backlash! Who wants to bet I'll be summoned by the Fujitsu Resource Manager again?

It's quite simple: the bank where I am a contractor wants us all to put down our free days *now*. That might be fine, but my contract goes till september and after that, nobody knows where I'll be. Considering that I have finally (after much fighting) gotten the two last weeks of august and the first week of september off, I really do not see a reason to justify my "future days off".

Anyways: so I write back a polite email that my vacation days were from then and then and that I have 10 days left. No mention when exactly I would take them.

My *second-up* superior (oops, big mean beastie in the bank hierachy, and I had clashes with him. Besides, he's a jerk: he always acts friendly with you and backstabs you whenever he can) just *decided* for me that I'd take them in december.
I wrote (a slightly disgruntled) reply, but still polite that it was mine to decide and that I was in no case going to file that vacation with Fujitsu.
Of course, he prompty said that I *had* to and that I have *no* choice. Guess what jerk: I have! I pointed out to him that my contract ended september and that he had no way of forcing me to take those vacations. Especially that I officially won't be there.

He never replied to that one: who wants to bet it was forwarded to the account manager? (or higher up?) I'm sure he'll say again that I'm an 'insolent employee'. No... I'm not insolent: you're a jerk and I just do what is best for me, not for you.

When the fuck are employers going to grasp that you can't handle us like cattle. :-/

get away from the computer...

...go out to a pub, get a beer and some unhealthy snacks, and enjoy the Croatia-France match.

Or go over to your girlfriend with some roses and massage oil ;-)

Hehe... both sound like a good idea. One more than the other ;-)

So now it comes down to which do you love more. Beer or SmilingGirl? :-)

heh.. I thought you were gonna say: Football or Beer..

Re:get away from the computer...

[jawtheshark]

I think here the clear winner is Beer. But I watched football without beer. What kind of blasphemy is that, eh? ;-)

It's more a thing that this is the first evening I'm with my parents in about 7 days. So, I chose beer^H^H^H^Hfootball (2-2, I was for Kroatia)

Besides, I'm carpooling with my bro, so I really need to be at the apartment tomorrow.

Of course, the preferred option would have been seening SmilingGirl, it was just not very realistic. (She's probably sleeping by now, and so should I... in an hour or so)
