Thank you for looking at this latest entry! It’s very much so appricated. <3
Something I forgot about last week, as far as my internship goes, is that I was able to sit in on.. more or less.. a sales pitch. XD More or less, us here at the university mailcenter strongly dislike Pitney Bowes (one of the largest, if not the largest, seller of mail/package processing equipment and software). Their service is nice – whenever we have technical problems, we can get someone out here pretty quick to fix it. However, dealing with coroprate is a pain in the rear end. So we’ve started the process of having other processing firms court us for our business. We had someone show up at the mail center last week and pitch their system. It was nice, looked a lot better than PB’s systems, had more capabilities and all that good stuff. It would be nice for someone to submit a pickup request or track a package on-site through a program instead of having them call us and bug us. It would be nice to have a package to-do list so that I can have a list of what is going where when I go out to deliver packages to faculty. We’ll see how it goes. The contract with PB doesn’t expire for another two years or so unless we terminate it (and probably pay out the ear).
Okay, I’m ranting and raving here some more, but I forgot something else last week. Yeah, I’m whining. So what? This is my blog, I’ll do what I want. Huff! Well, it’s a little unfair, in my opinion, about the new ’summer schedule’ that the president of the university has come up with. All the faculty and staff are given a flex day off and have an hour added to the rest of their days – so a four day workweek with nine hour shifts. So my two managers get a day off (Monday and Friday) and I get.. absolutely nothing. Well, two days of picking up slack, no day off of my own, and no raise to cover my added responsabilties and work. Welcome to Corporate America, Suka!
