Talking about Guy Stuff in voices audible in the areas and into the monitor rooms.

Rev. Not-So-Nice Super is shooting rubber bands at people.

... The good Rev. Not-So-Nice Super just shot a rubberband into area 9 from the check-in desk area of the bullpen. He riccocheted it off the ceiling.

...

...yeah.

"Mike Jones" is afraid he's going to get canned. I don't blame him, because he is actually in danger of that. Talking about where to get crack with a teenage respondent? Oh, yeah.

I am on too much coffee. Or something. I made a fresh pot of it for the workplace.

Dude is really not sitting in his booth very much. Kneeling on the chair and spinning it.

I can let it slide for the rest of the hour, maybe.
...or maybe not.

"Welcome to the wonderful world of timesheets."

Seems that the new system is a pain in the ass for working on the back end. And all the phone goons pulled to assist have to have all their time entered by hand. That's upwards of 20 records a day to alter by hand, and the typical rate for supervisory record alterations on the new system is 5 or 6 records per hour, and 6 is fast. That's leaving aside all the regular phone goon record alterations, which take less time, but there are a lot more of them.

So about ten of us phone goons pulled to assist on a regular basis (like, we're practically never on the phones) are getting to fill out time sheets in the big system rather than just the handy-dandy little spreadsheet we were using.

More things to learn, yaaaaay. (But. Whee! Real live grown-up spreadsheets! Just like a real staff member!)

That was yesterday. ( Today was long and busy. )
