Years of experience and I still can’t get the hang of technology.
Yesterday was pay day. At least, it was supposed to be. I got absolutely nothing. This is basically a result of my stupidity.
A week ago, I was supposed to submit a timesheet indicating how many hours I had worked. Instead of walking over to the other building, I decided to fax the damn thing in. Well, I thought everything had gone well. A few days later, a coworker was asking me about the fax machine, and how to use it (years of experience and he doesn’t get it either). I told him what I did…and he said that it didn’t sound right. Eventually, a woman came over and explained how to use the machine. At that point, I realized that I had screwed up on two fronts.
First of all, I was supposed to dial 9 before the number in order to use it. It didn’t occur to me that I had to, especially since I was faxing to a location within the company. That explains why the machine came up with several busy signals. Makes me wonder though if I was bothering someone.
Ah, but if that wasn’t enough, I had also faxed the pages in a face-up manner. They’re supposed to be face-down. Well, isn’t that dandy. Even if I hadn’t screwed up the fax number, they would’ve received a blank page.
I’m an idiot.
So, here I am, waiting another two weeks for a paycheque. Ugh. I’m not broke yet. I have some reserves. However, I still want the feeling of having some cash in-flow. Sigh!
