Even though my boss said he was trying to figure out why my transfer offer was being held up, turns out he was negotiating to push my transfer back 2-3 months!!!! I had to call HR and administration to get it figured out because he's a lying sack......

The Dink never did do the reference survey, so I sent it to his boss

She finished it in less than 10 minutes.

Had to contact Microsoft customer support for a problem with their ad serving system called Atlas (which is the hugest piece of shit on the planet if you're not aware)... their support rep replied to a different Charles Collins and somehow made it look like my email came from that person's address... now the other CC is accusing me of using his email address maliciously! If you've ever had a Charles Collins coming after you for perceived misconduct you should understand how serious a situation this is...

f***in' microsoft...

I've had to deal with an angry Charlie Collins. I didn't find it at all threatening or serious.

work computer is seriously old and broke... have to restart twice per day to get the RAM clean enough to run the programs I need to. Startup takes 15 minutes, so that's at least 30 mins/day that i absolutely cannot do anything. so effin lame.

They ordered a sweet new machine for me -- SSD startup drive, huge processor/video card, RAM like crazy. it was delivered in the middle of December and they STILL haven't given it to me. I'm about to start drawing up plans to steal my own computer...
