Fuck This Bullshit

Tax should be spent in the prioritizing of public funds for the greater good of society instead of go sports team go subsidization of billionaires.

And yes, a national system like this would cost more than $2b. More likely a couple trillion over a few decades. But we need to start somewhere and get our priorities straight.

This type of thing really shows American priorities. We talk a big game about freedom and all sorts of ridiculous platitudes while expending our resources on frivolous bullshit while letting Americans literally starve, go without education, medical care, or homes. And this isn't just pro sports. Google the new Hebron High School athletic facility in Texas. It's fucking lunacy. And no, I'm not against high school athletics. But i do think they could easily have afforded a good new facility while also doing something worthwhile.

So I'm in Class All Week…

Elphaba has a hard-on for certifications, professional development, and "advancing your career."

I am 18 months from retirement. I don't give a shit about certifications, professional development, and advancing my career. My only professional goal at this point is keeping my head down, doing my job, getting vested for my retirement account, and getting the fuck out of this place at the end of January 2025.

The last time I had a one-on-one with her (thankfully, something I will never have to do again), I pointed out that I was retiring and therefore additional training for "career bulding" would be money ill-spent. She wasn't having a bit of it. "I expect everyone under me to attend two training classes per year."

Okay, I decided I wanted to take Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator classes. They aren't applications I use professionally, but we do support those users who do use them.

DENIED. "Not job related."

So this week I find myself in an online Sharepoint class. My boss called this "a learning vacation."

I will readily admit that I do not understand Sharepoint. I had some company-provided training prior to COVID and WFH lockdown that allowed me to handle the few requests for minor changes that came in, but since we've been back in the office the entire infrastructure was changed and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing any more. Add to that the fact that I simply don't care about any of this shit.

Bad attitude? You betcha!

As if to add insult to injury, I don't have rights to do anything in Sharepoint any more anyway. I've pointed this out several times to the people that have the power to do something about it, but—like getting a company cell phone because the greeting on my personal cell was deemed "unprofessional"—nothing ever gets resolved. So any tickets that come in that involve Sharepoint changes get ignored until someone else picks them up.

It's going to be a long week. But at least I'm not in the office.
