Happy Hoildays...

I hope Santa brings you everything you wanted this year...
he ain't bringing me squat...
my wish list includes a new car...(well new to me, don't have to be fancy)
oh how I wished there were a real Secret Santa out there.





okay, somebody at Facebook posted this, and it cracked me up...so I'm sharing...

Calling all Geeks..

this stinks...

where are all my Blogger linky friends?

I had a bunch of Blogger links of friends here and they are pretty much gone, disappeared, so are my other link sections at the bottom.

What is going on with Blogger? that's just weird...

anybody else having issues like this? 

link in people, so I know who ya are! I miss you guys. I'm trying to find yuns! hit me up!

and while I"m online it appears I am targeted again for this pesky little Rogue virus inhabiting the internet world, that likes to disguise itself as XP Security 2012 Unregistered Version or XP Security 2012 Firewall Alert...who like to run this little 'scan' to intimidate telling you have security threats, when it is itself the actual virus...oh my word, twice in a two week period. 

What to do?  Call Microsoft again...did that the 4th of this month.  Same exact virus. I tell yuns this online venture is getting old when it seems everytime I'm on here there's some nasty virus trying to hack in. Anybody else bothered with this? annoyance...

The guy at Microsoft gave me a folder on my desktop with instructions for me, geeky girl, to do next time this occurs...so I"m armed and ready now...bring it on!!!! I will take great satisfaction in killing it myself without having assistance...

Here's a new one for yuns...

Tech Support with Microsoft

Folks,

It appears that my security was breached while I was in my yahoo and linking into Facebook Blogstreamers's Reunited page.  I don't know why or what, and even though Microsoft Security Essentials have been in my computer and fixed this issue, I am gun shy about coming back into Facebook.  If I do, its definitely no games and no download for games.

Question:  Is anyone else having issues with either email or their links associated to Facebook out of their email?  It raises concerns for me about that site.  Now that I think about it, Isabella and I downloaded a Bejewled game.  We clicked a link in Facebook which took us to another page to download (?I want to say pickle something?)...anyway, the next day my homepage was different, and my browser seemed hijacked on search, things were just weird; I thought I had fixed it, nothing came up on scan until this latest.  It could have been related, not sure. 

Anyway, holler back if you have experienced browser instability, hanging up, yahoo mail or facebook issues.  I am curious to know.

Imagine My Surprise!



This morning when my alarm went off, and I had to get Isabella out of bed, I asked her if it was Friday.  I was thinking it was only Thursday, not looking forward to the day, but a quick check of my computer alerted me that it is Friday!  It couldn't come soon enough to suit me!

The complaints this week didn't last too long, everybody was served up with emails concerning their bloopers, and we moved on.  Our new In-House FQA liasion is stepping up to the plate, trying to deal with some serious issues between us and our offshore QA Department.  Thank goodness some good things are happening; its about frickin' time!

It is Friday, TGIF! Have a great weekend ya'll!

Shit Tuesday

I was not expecting today to be a day of complaints from clients. After being off for a week and my first day back, I would have liked a little more positive ending to my day.  However, supervisor informs me that not 1, but 2 accounts are complaining; one is thinking of pulling out altogether instead of using our services.  Oh well, its become quite a pain in the neck quite frankly.  They want perfection, let them go in search of it.  Good luck, and good riddance to bad rubbish who cannot dictate worth a shit anyway.  One of the complaints we got just gave us a rave review 2 weeks before.  How can they in two weeks' time now complain?  What did they do? get a couple of reports that had a mistake on them?  Oh yeah, one was a date that was dictated as July, not November, but we got blamed for that one, because we put what the doctor dictated as the date.  He could have been catching up on an old dictation, how would we know otherwise? 

Anyway, being in management and having to be over the QA department people and their lack of paying attention to details is always an accident waiting to happen.  Nobody is perfect, not in the world of quality control especially when humans are involved.  If these clients want perfection, then I suppose they can type their own documents and proof them too.  I don't care if I become part of an audit team or not, that's better than taking the heat for people who don't do their damn job.  Why would independent contracters be worried about error?  They don't get paid enough to worry or look stuff up like they should.  Perhaps the company should look at what they can do to improve things instead of cutting down their people, smacking their hands for making mistakes...stupid shit...yeah its Tuesday.  

What will tomorrow bring?  Who the hell knows...maybe I won't have a job to worry with tomorrow. 

Later.  


Sleepy and grumpy...here.

Yep, first day back at school after being out since Friday, November 18, 2011, BellaRose had a hard time wanting to roll out of bed, and put her clothes on, and get ready for the bus.  I can't say I did any better... I questioned myself whether I was supposed to work after I got Bella up, peeked in the QA HUB, didn't see any work per se, but then I located my calendar and realized I was off! hahaha!, so I went back to bed, awakened once again by the phone, somebody from work calling me. 

It seems last night, all I got done was email for some reason, and I dreamed about some guy I know...weird, a love triangle, he needs to choose...LOL...and then driving a car that I never drove before, it didn't have good brakes I was freaking out and then around a curve there was a car parked in the road, not too far after trying to get around a blind curve I pulled off...inbetween there were more emails...like somebody had typed a report, pasted parts of it in an email for me to have to change on the document or something...this went back and forths all night...then the alarm went off.  Geeze, I never did sleep seemed like...

and now, its 10 a.m., and I am headed back to bed, what am I? nuts?!!!!!
