izmeinaThe evil goblins at the day job have been harassing the serpent who has not been ticking the boxes properly. The cheap critters have now introduced e-learning so they can get us to waste our own time doing their ridiculous quantities of mandatory training. Oh of course they said we would get paid for time logged in on their ridiculous site. In fact, they went one better than that. The new boss who started in March and is the spitting image of Shane Warne and with a Warnie ego to match even claimed that the first module only takes 15 minutes but we would get paid a full hour. That was the carrot - the stick was that not doing this online training would result in suspension from duties. All cleverly times for the week before Easter
Needless to say - not only did no one get paid the one hour as promised - they didn't even fork out for the fifteen minutes. And it's not like they didn't know. They even present you with a stupid certificate as proof of completion but apparently not proof enough for the cheap and nasty goblins in the pay office
They informed the serpent today that she is overdue on the stupid food handling unit and had very kindly printed out a paper version assuming that the serpent is a Luddite creature without access to computers or Cyberia.
Had a peek at this infernal waste of trees and figured it might be easier to do the damned thing online. Silly silly serpent
The elearning site belongs to a company owned by one of the most infernally evil bastards of this and the last century. They are literally getting the Fox to look after the hen house.
So surprise surprise - visited this infernal site run by News Corporation and had to endure a bunch of mission statements and a smiling smirking greeting from the big bad Megatherion Boss himself - smug little bastard that he is.
Got tossed out four times so it took ages to finish the infernal thing as Rupert Murdoch and his minions are obviously too cheap and nasty to have technology that lets you pick up from last time but forces you to run the gauntlet from the beginning each time.
But since then, God knows what sorts of Cyberian transmitted diseases the Big Mac or the ancient usb dongle have picked up. It keeps tossing us out and it took the best part of 30 minutes to get online this time. Could get tossed out again any minute
So it's basically a quick squiggle to let the serpent's associates know that any absences or exile is not due to being abducted by aliens or worse but simply an infestation of foxie monsters and other feral beasties doing mean and nasty things to the Portkey
It just might be time to start shopping around as $30 per month for 3gb is ridiculously expensive these days - especially as the last four months or so not even got much past 700mb per month
So time to slink off into the wilderness. Who knows when the critters will let the serpent through the pearly gates of Cyberia again
