Drinks Anyone? <OT>

[Guest guest]

Need some good vibes tonight. I think I may have " blown off " one of my

part-time jobs tonight.

I got started on an account as of Friday, 1/17/03, First off, had trouble

getting in to get the work. Then was told to only " speed read " as we were

checking content not actually proofing the account. It was never indicated to

me that the files would be placed about 4:30 a.m. I was told that they were due

back to the office by noon. I have done 2 batches of this account and am

already in trouble. I worked on it over the weekend, then was told I did not do

them all -- some were missing. Well I checked and, sure enough, there were 3

more files to look at. When I was in trouble for that, I went back and checked

the properties and found out they had been placed at 4:35 a.m. I fired off an

e-mail asking if this was the way it was and that I would have to reconfigure

some things in my life -- but if this is the way the work came in that I would

do that -- I have yet to receive a reply to those questions (or any questions

regarding this account). I also sent an e-mail stating that someone else would

have to do that account today since I had a doc appointment and did not know how

long it would take for that (most of the day, it turns out). When I finally get

home and check e-mails -- I am not sure where I stand with the accounts. They

also accused me of only attaching 2 out of the 3 files. I bcc'd myself (as I do

with all of the things I send back to them) and on what came through to me all 3

files were attached -- so, I am at a loss on this one as well.

Oh, BTW, another account I was proofing I was told is picked up on Thursday and

not due back until the following Thursday. Files finally came in and I did them

over the weekend, but they wanted them back immediately. I included this in my

e-mail to them.

Thanks for listening to my ranting and raving. I also fired off an e-mail

stating that I would presume the files for today were checked and I was confused

and would not do any more until I heard back from them specifically what I was

to be doing.

I may have lost this job, but everything happens for the best.
