Teaching for Dummies
God Fucking Dammit Crap FUCK
F.U.C.K.!!!
From the bottom of my heart! And from my toes, my ass and boobies!
I just spend a whole fucking afternoon wasting my time! Totally wasting my time! Seriously… I love working here at the medical center, I have not been here for over 15 years for no reason but their policy on applications and training just royally sucks A.S.S.
It’s not like I am busy enough already. I work 2.1 job already with Backstabbing Bitch fucking up all the time, and my own job being more than one man’s girl’s work anyway… and assisting various other colleagues at other depts as they have nobody to show them the ropes and “DutchBitch’ll do it” just seems to be about the most used phrase in the whole of the medical center…
I am all ok with that. It’s exhausting at times, what with being a single mum and having several extra jobs aside from my main one, but I am used to it. However, I do not need some fucking asshole wasting a complete afternoon of office time for nuttin’…
The Chief and I use the medical center’s Management Information System to keep track of personnel stuff and especially our finances. It gives us the financial flow of all our grants into detail. The other day we got an email to get our asses signed up for an application course for the MIS system as they were upgrading and we would not get access to the upgraded version before attending the course. A 4-hour course… FOUR HOURS! To get us up to speed with the changes made in the upgrade. Are you friggin’ kidding me?
There was no way around it though… So we signed up for the first available course date and sure enough on Tuesdayafternoon at 1 p.m. we were there: the MIS update course…
I had to fight boredom and dozing off about every friggin minute. The guy teaching the course was excrutiatingly boring and totally full of himself at the same time. He started telling us all the Duh-stuff… the stuff that could at least saved us an hour of the course… Then he proceeded to show us how to create financial and personnel reports and analytic cubes.. Yah… I hear ya… Ugh… He also showed us how to omit results from the reports and cubes that you don’t want to see… I thought The Chief was gonna choke and consequently grab hold of the left side of his chest! Being an epidemiologist and working with statistics and analytical data all the time… well, omitting data “you don’t want” or that is “complicating things” is about the capitalest of offenses in Epidemiology world…
But that’s not even the worst. It gets better… Get ready for this… Because even though I had already feared this and had specifically ásked the course coordinator about it, who insisted that that was not the case…
WE SPENT GODDAMMITFUCKING FOUR HOURS ATTENDING THIS COURSE ONLY TO FIND OUT THE FUNCTIONALITIES WITHIN THIS APPLICATION THAT WE USE HAVE BEEN GODFUCKINGDAMMIT OMITTED FROM THE APPLICATION!!!
Someone is gonna get it for this, and get his reports and analytical cubes shuv’d up his ass. I can think of a kazzilion ways to have used that whole afternoon so much better than this! And their coffee stank too… and the cookies too… Well, at least now I know how to use that application update that I am never gonna make use of again… And I now need to register for another course for a new program that the functionalities we need have been transferred to… yah… KTHNXBYE…
Wish me luck. This p.m. we’ll get a call from the Pediatrics Cardiologist about the results of The Kid’s cycling test and the Holter ECG earlier this week. Fingers crossed for me, OK, and your toes, and legs, and arms, and boobies, and balls and if you’re 2 guys, maybe you can try crossing your penisses for us too… We do with all the good luck we can get…
UPDATE 8.00 p.m. Dutch time: Results of the test just came in! Everything O.K. for now. No signs of the syndrome being active have been found. Next check up: 2009! Yay!!!! Thanks for all your well wishes and thinking of us!!!
I once needed a very important training in a company where the computer systems had been changed. It was always postponed and postponed and of course we had to use it so, little by little we got used to it even if we’d have been much better at it with a good training. Anyway, I was still in the phase of trying to catch up with this brand new stuff when I was requested to TRAIN SOME PEOPLE ON IT who had actually attended the training but needed some “further explanation” and I wasn’t in a position to refuse it so I did… They actually thanked me and told me finally they had gotten a professional training… What were you saying again? Ah yes FUCK!

The sad part is, you’ll never get those four hours back. You should bitchslap the assbag that required you to go in the first place.
Tall Man Mollys last blog post..Why?
Fuck your heart, toes, ass, and boobies? Well, a couple of those would work. The others would just be awkward and potentially painful. Be careful what you ask for.
I am thinking of you and the kid. Everything is going to be fine.
JQs last blog post.."Hidden in the lines, Written on the pages, is the answer to the….."
That si so annoying! I hate it when they make courses mandatory, which you know for a fact you don’t need.
Good luck with the results. I’m all crossed up here for you! ; )
Jens last blog post..Wanna laugh?
I’m wishing you good luck on the test results and crossing my toes (my second toe is my longest and I think feet with toes like that are the luckiest).
I’ve spent a lot of times in meetings that I leave with a WTF was that about attitude. I thought, for a while, I had adult ADD — then I had some tests done and determined the meetings are just boring as hell.
delmers last blog post..Loss
I am always wasting my time here, it’s become the norm.
I’m thinking good thoughts for your little boy.
Robins last blog post..Radioactive Hair
My jobs used to require a lot of things likethat that waisted my time. I know how annoying that can be.
I definitely have my body parts crossed for the results of your son’s tests! Let us know!

Good luck for the kid’s tests. How can I have missed that part?
Fingers and everything crossed. Sorry I only have one penis so I’m leaving it alone :)
FroggyWoogies last blog post..News from the GZ
I am not crossing penises with anyone, I can assure you of that.
Karls last blog post..A Mosaic Meme
There is nothing quite like having your time wasted by someone else. I get to waste my time, but no one else gets to waste my time for me
You need a swear string - I find them very theraputic
Oh that is just fucking ridiculous.
FUCK is right.
Much luck with theKid - ((hugs)) & prayers!!
I’m lucky in that we do all of our stuff like that via conference call - I put the phone & speaker & do whatever else I want during the time…
Tugs last blog post..Yet another BJ
I find those trainings to be a good nap time. I don’t feel I learn anything I couldn’t figure out on my own, and tend to think of them as more for being for people who don’t know computers.
Good luck with TheKid!
Lyndas last blog post..Get Over It
FroggyWoogie: Err.. I forgot what I was saying now too…
TallManMolly: Oh, no worries. Once I found out who that is… I surely will!
Kapgar: Ummm…. those were about crossing them to wish me luck… I didn’t say to fuck those, right? Did I?
JQ: I hope it will be. I have high hopes they will be.
Blondefabulous: Cuz he was actually the one NOT lying. He was the one who actually finally told us the truth
Jen: Thanks babe
Delmer: LOL @ the adult ADD… Nah, they just suck, those courses! Be sure you can uncross the toes again afterwards, ok?
Robin: The norm? Ugh. Glad its not thát bad over here… yet. And… thanks!
LadyJaye: I will, as soon as I know I’ll update
FroggyWoogie: Find a second penis. We’re worth that, aren’t we?
Blondefabulous: Good luck on Monday, girl!!!
Karl: You’re saying our friendship is not worth that?
Penelope: Ummm a swear string? Is that like a thong?
Britt: Thank you Girl!!!
Tug: LOL, that would suit me just fine! Conference calls…
Lynda: Well, nap time is a bit hard being one of only 7 participants.. . Kinda shows…
That all sounds so familiar. We had to do online training and then attend several “lunch and learns” (no kidding we had to use our own free time to learn how to do the upgrade) before our upgrade. Then all the upper level people were freaking out thinking we were going to have days of down time and I think it ended up being less than a few hours. They freak out about everything. We’re getting another one in July and then yet another in September.
Glad to hear about TheKid!
Shellis last blog post..60s? 70s? 80s?
Yay! Now you can relax until next year!
JQs last blog post.."Hidden in the lines, Written on the pages, is the answer to the….."
Reading about your job reminds me of how lucky I am to NOT be working right now! ;-)
SO glad to hear things went well with your son. :)
Shelli: Bosses should just stop freaking out and mind their own business
And thanks…
JQ: Yeah, we can!!!
pissy: I am glad too, Thanks Hon!
Glad to hear your son is cleared for awhile, at least! Your stuff at work? The world is full of that same mentality… I just completed training and testing for 2 things I have never used in the 8 yrs. I’ve been there! We average one a month…. More systems and less abstract thought is where it’s all heading- and I hate that!
Sorry about the crappy day but very glad to hear the news about the tests. I hope everything continues to be positive.
Buff: So right… Hate it too!
JustDave: Thanks Babe
