LOL- I was just following an email thread wherein management is discussing amongst themselves various 'flex time' policies (come in when you want, leave when you want- as long as you work your hours) and TDY (travel) compensation. Current policy is that you don't get compensated in any way if you travel to an assignment on your own time. That's why I'm having to take my regular day off on a different day in the pay cycle. I'd rather collect those hours as comp time to use when I want.
But I'm just a peon- doing twice the work as people making twice as much. I'm feeling rather grumpy about that right now.
INSTALLING "HUSBAND 1.0"
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0. and Golf Clubs 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed, Desperate
=========================
Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: "http: I Thought You Loved Me.htm" and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, over use of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background, that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).
Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
Tech Support
There are jobs where this isn't true!!! I want one!!! :-)
I worked for years for a company with flex time. I guess it wasn't totally flexed but it was good for me. We could officially arrive at work anytime between 6 and 8, choose lunch between 15 minutes and an hour then leave when we'd worked 8 hours. It was even more flexible for employees with more years in, I had permission to come as early as 5, and my engineer and I both liked arriving that early. There were 4 of us in the department who rode bikes and we were allowed to take lunches as long as 2 hours which we occasionally did to get out for a nice ride. Didn't do that often, but in the nice months maybe a couple of times a month.
Of course, at that job I typically worked 10 hours a day or more so it wasn't unusual for me to be the first in the drafting department to arrive and the last to leave. But, the pay was good and the flexibility was good. It also afforded me long afternoons at the lake with Myranda in the summer because I *could* come in at 5, take 15 minutes for lunch and be out of there at 1:15. With all the other hours I put in, I made it a point to do that at least once a week when she was not in school.
