WELL, LONG TIME NO POST. BUT THE O.W.T IS JUST THAT: BASICALLY A WASTE OF TIME, NOTHING PARTICULARLY EXCITING HAPPENING - EVER! ANYHOW, I STARTED TO GET TO KNOW MY EMPLOYERS BETTER DURING THESE MONTHS, AND THERE'S REALLY NOTHING TO BE GLAD ABOUT. THE OLD FART IS A SENILE OLD MAN, WHO DOESN'T REMEMBER ONE THING FROM THE OTHER AND KEEPS YOU WAITING ON THE PHONE LIKE FOREVER, WHILST TALKING IN ANOTHER PHONE AND TO SOMEONE ELSE AT THE SAME TIME... THEN HE HANGS UP. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT IF I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE IT MYSELF. HIS TWO SONS HAVE TO BE TACKLED ONE AT A TIME. #1, SADNESS, IS THE YOUNGEST, THE ONE WHO BRINGS US THE DAILY SCHEDULE AND THE NEW JOBS TO DO. HIS PECULIARITY IS OF ALWAYS BEING MISERABLE - I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW HIM SMILING. NOT ONCE... HIS BROTHER, MINIMUM, IS SO CALLED FOR HE TRIES TO DO THE MINIMUM EFFORT POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE WHAT HE WANTS - BASICALLY THE PRINTING OF SOME CAR MANUAL... ANY OTHER JOB TO HIM IS USELESS, NOW, THEN IMPORTANT, THEN USELESS AGAIN, THEN IMPORTANT, THEN... WHAT A BUNCH OF USELESS BEINGS. TROUBLE IS THEY HOLD THE STRINGS OF THE PURSE... I.E. THE ONLY REASON WHY I KEEP ON WASTING MY TIME WITH THEM. AFTER ALL WE'RE ALL IN IT JUST FOR THE MONEY...

ANOTHER INTERESTING JOB PROPOSITION FROM CROC - THERE COULD BE AN OPENING TO BE IN CHARGE OF A PRINT-ON-LINE WEBSITE... SOUNDS INTERESTING BUT I'LL BELIEVE THAT WHEN I SEE IT, FOR CROC'S GOT LOTS OF IDEAS, BUT FEW CONCLUSIONS... AND THAT'S A SHAME. BUT I REALLY HOPE HE CAN PULL IT OFF THIS TIME, AS IT'D MEAN WE COULD GET BACK WORKING TOGETHER AGAIN, WHICH IS A GOOD THING - WE USED TO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK... I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT ... IF IT EVER GETS TRUE. I WOULD CERTAINLY WELCOME A CHANGE OF SCENERY, IN SPITE OF STILL BEING SOMEWHAT PRINTING-CONNECTED WORK, IT'D BE DONE MOSTLY OVER THE INTERNET, THEREFORE, COOL. FINGERS CROSSED TO THAT. THIS WAY I WOULD FEEL MY TIME LESS WASTED, I COULD GO BACK USING MY BIKE TO GO TO WORK AND I COULD SEND MY USELESS PRESENT EMPLOYERS TO PISS OFF. AND GLADLY THAT!

... OVER AND OUT ... FOR NOW

THURSDAY'S PHONE CALL [FROM THE MAN WE'LL CAL 'VIK', THE MAIN BOSS AT FIRM-C, THE MAN WHO PAYS MY WAGES]… “LOOK HERE, OF YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS WITH FIRM-A, WE AT FIRM-C WE DON’T WANNA KNOW, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” [???] “YOU KNOW YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN, AND THEN WHAT HAS FIRM-C TO DO WITH ‘ELLE’? ['ELLE' BEING THE CODENAME FOR THE FIRM I’M WORKING FOR] IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH FIRM-A DON’T SPREAD RUMOURS AROUND HERE, THEY ARE CLIENTS OF OURS, IS THAT CLEAR?” [???] “THAT IS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP WORKING FOR US, OTHERWISE I CAN VERY WELL TAKE ON SOMEONE ELSE IF YOU WISH…”
AT THE END OF THIS CALL, I DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT, NOR WHAT HE HAD HEARD, NOR WHAT RUMOURS I HAD SPREAD...
THIS MORNING ‘SPY’ [UPDATED NICK FOR AGENT-A, AN AGENT FOR FIRM-A] CAME IN AND ASKED ME WHAT WAS YESTERDAY'S PHONE CALL ABOUT, AS HE HEARD SOMETHING BUT WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I TOLD HIM I DIDN’T HAVE THE FOGGIEST AND HE SAID “RIGHT, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED - SOMEONE FROM ADMINISTRATION [???] HEARD THAT ‘THEY’ HAVE TO GIVE YOU BACKPAY AND SHE SPREAD IT AROUND…” THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I NEVER SPOKE TO ADMINISTRATION AND THE ONLY TIME THAT I SAID SOMETHING ON THAT MATTER HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS THERE, THEREFORE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HAVE PASSED THE NEWS ON...
AT THIS POINT ALL WORKERS OUTSIDE OF ELLE HAVE EXHAUSTED THEIR STARTING BONUS POINTS.
QUESTION : WHY ARE THERE NO MORE PEOPLE WHO SAY ONE THING AND BEHAVE ALONG THE SAME LINES? I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN ITALY, BUT IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANYONE TRIES TO CHEAT ON YOU? AND EVEN SO, FOR WHAT? WHICH IS THE STRANGE MECHANISM THAT PUSHES A HUMAN BEING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING? TO SHOW OFF IN FRONT OF THE MANAGEMENT? AND WITH THESE TRIVIALITIES, OF ALL THINGS! ANYWAY, WITH THIS MORNING EVENT WE HAD OUR SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED… HOW SAD.

SOME PEOPLE REALLY GET ON MY NERVES! THIS LITTLE ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT, SON OF WINDOWS, ALWAYS TALKING RUBBISH ABOUT ANY MACHINE THAT’S NOT A WIN PC JUST BECAUSE HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT, SHOULD BE ‘OUR’ SYSTEM ADMIN. THE DOWNSIDE OF IT IS THAT, IF OUTSIDE THE WIN PACKAGE, HE UNDERSTANDS F.A.!!! TODAY’S EPISODE : HE COMES IN, WITH HIS JUST AS ARROGANT FATHER [!?!], AT AROUND 1030 TO ADD AN EXTRA POWER SOURCE TO OUR MAIN SERVER. THE OPERATION TAKES BUT A FEW MINUTES AND THE SERVER REAPPEARS ON THE PCs BUT NOT ON THE MACs (ANY MAC). “YOU SHOULD RESTART” … AFTER ONE HOUR OF “I DON’T UNDERSTAND … IT’S CRAZY … INCREDIBLE … I DON’T BEIEVE IT …” AND VARIOUS RE-BOOTINGS, INCLUDING A 20 MINUTES PHONE CALL TO SOMEONE WHO OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD MORE THAN HIM ABOUT SYSTEMS, AT LAST THE MACs ARE AGAIN CONNECTED TO THE WORLD. BRAVO! ALL OF THIS, WITH CONSTANT COMMENTS ON THE LINES OF “WELL, WE ALL KNOW IT… MACS …” MACS WHAT, YOU MORON! APART FROM STINKING LIKE A DEAD GOAT, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND SHIT OUTSIDE YOUR BORING WINDOWS AND YOU COME HERE AS AN ‘EXPERT’ TALKING SHIT, WHEN I MYSELF UNDERTAND MORE ABOUT SYSTEMS -WHICH SAYS IT ALL…
ANYHOW, THIS IDIOT MANAGED TO PUT ME IN A BAD MOOD, APART FROM KEEPING US STOPPED FOR ONE HOUR, WHICH IS NO LITTLE MATTER.
¡MUERATE CABRON!

HAVEN'T POSTED FOR QUITE A WHILE ... NOT MUCH TO SAY REALLY ... THE TRIO (MY 3 BOSSES) COLD BE SUMMARIZED AS SUCH : THE OLD ONE - NOW SENILE AND MUMBLING MOST TO HIMSELF. THE YOUNG ONE - ALWAYS LOOKING SAD AND MISERABLE. THE MIDDLE ONE - SPORTY QUITE FULL OF HIMSELF WITH A SHORT TEMPER (THEY CALL HIM 'MINIMUM' FOR HE ALWAYS TRY TO WORK THE LEAST POSSIBLE) ... SO YOU SEE, THERE'S PLENTY TO HAVE FUN WITH HERE TOO...

THE OTHER BASTARDS STILL HAVEN'T PAID UP SO I SUED THEM - WE'LL SEE WHAT GOOD THAT BRINGS. WASTING MY TIME FOR A WAGE IS ONE THING, WASTING IT FOR NOTHING IS ANOTHER MATTER...

… MORNING RUNNING SMOOTHLY … SOME WORK … MORE W.O.T. … I HEARD THE BOSSES HERE MAY TRY TO ENROLL M.G. MORON FROM A1889 … I HOPE FOR THEIR SAKES IT’S JUST RUMOURS OR IT’S GOING TO BE CERTAIN COLLAPSE FOR THE FIRM …
… I FEAR THESE POSTINGS MAY BECOME PRETTY BORING … BUT THAT’S WHAT ‘OPERATION WOT’ IS ALL ABOUT AFTER ALL - A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME … THE WORK WE DO IS PRACTICALLY POINTLESS … WE INK SHEETS OF PAPER THAT WILL GET WRITTEN ON AND THEN THROWN AWAY … IT’S NOT EVEN BOOKS THAT YOU MAY READ AND READ AGAIN AND THEY CAN LAST THROUGH TIME …
… AND WE’RE ONLY ON DAY 2 … THE PREVIOUS WOT WAS CERTAINLY FUNNIER … HERE THE PEOPLE ARE PRETTY SAD OVERALL …
