This is a post to vent (you've been warned)
Actually I should be kinda happy, because I'm doing this from my new laptop, which is shiny and stuff. It's going to be a pain and half to keep the touchscreen clean though, and so far past the tiles and handwaving, I'm not liking Windows 10 much either. Ah, well.
Anyway, work has been a super bitch lately. We finally lost the coworker that no one got along with, but of course it takes an act of god and like, fifteen years before we can get a replacement. Naturally all the things that she used to do is passed down back to everyone else, including some things back to me. I don't have time to do these things because I still can't get VPN to work on my computer - well, actually, I got it to work. It's working. But the moment it started working, the actual network at work dies, or something, because I get the automated message from IT saying that people are having log-in issues. At 8pm at night. Seriously!
The same lady that I had to verbally talk through at least five different wires did a wire yesterday - messed up her attachments. Had to walk her through the process AGAIN. Finally the wire's done. Today, my boss mentioned to me that the same lady had another wire in queue that needed me to do an admin bypass since the signer was out traveling on business and sent an email approval. Despite me having told her many times that if she wants us to do a bypass, she didn't email me or call me about this until my boss emailed HER to tell her to send us the approval email. She tried calling me, but I didn't pick up because if she was asking for a confirmation, I was going to explode before I can explain to her for the sixth time how to pull one, by herself.
We have a project to transmit ACH batches to our bank to pay our various corporate vendors instead of having to issue checks. This project is seriously cursed - every time we do one, I literally end up with like, 2 project managers and an IT resource, occasionally someone from Accounts payable, working to figure out WTF. Apparently earlier this week they did some production enhancements - I get to verify the same fucking ACH instructions in the system for the 4th time, stay late to draw up the reconciliation of why the fucking transmitted batches didn't match the approved batches, and today, when I was expecting one instruction to come through (The one they typoed/misspelled yesterday, hence the partial transmission), I get two. Then they tell me they actually added 15. SO WHERE'S THE OTHER 13?! Fuckers changed the specs again, without telling us, without even knowing when the fuck it happened.
So I got to spend a lovely short period of my work day looking up almost 60 tickets on all the instructions we've approved since inception. And they never fixed the comment option, so I can't go back and see without comparing the ones for the same vendors side by side, what the hell was wrong with it or if it was just AP having fun jerking our chains. FUCK THEM.
All I want is a little respect that I have work to do too, and I'm not at everyone's fucking beck and call. You know what, I'll even let the respect pass, if people will just FUCKING USE THE BRAINS THAT THEY WERE BORN WITH. God.
I don't really feel better, but at least that's off my chest. And hey, VPN's not working, so I guess I do have tonight off. So tempted to call in sick tomorrow.-_-
