Empty Promises

So this is just a quick one since I'm going to work in an hour, but speaking of work.... Yes, this is where the title of the post comes in I was one of the first ones offered to go to another city to help set up their project. But my HRdirect didn't work(thru no fault of my own), and that was the only way they could set up the expense accts, so they found someone else but PROMISED ME that when 2 of the people come back early, I'll be the first one to go, if my HRD worked. So then last week, someone had to come back unexpectedly, but my HRD still wasn't working, and on Friday they said, well we'll see on Monday if we can send you w/o having it work. Well Monday was my day off, but I went to work and spent about 3 hrs there and finally got it working. Then they go," well we need to see if the other centre is doing ok being shorthanded for trainers, I'll tell you tomorrow." Tuesday, same thing. Wednesday, couldn't find her. So it's Thursday, and there's no way in hell that they're going to be sending me this week b/c we come back to the city on the weekends. Not to mention that the OM was going, "well it might take a week before the expense acct is set up so you might have to keep your receipts for the week." So I basically go, "well why don't you set up the expense acct now and by the time you finally get around to sending me, it'll be working." And she goes "well...we'll look into it" as in f-you how dare you think instead of accepting what I say. Considering before, I asked if there was another way of setting up an expense acct w/o HRD and she said not anymore so I said well what if HRD goes down? and all she could say was I hope it doesn't happen. So for some reason my company loyalty is pretty low.

Anyways, I've bought a new TV since my old one is going crap. Well it was before b/c the sides of the screen curved in and there was a lot of ghosting. But I'm finding that I can't read some of the text when I'm playing my PS2, so it's time. The new one still hasn't come yet b/c it's being delivered. If the store delivered it, it'd be $45 shipping, but if I order it online it's free shipping. Sure the $45 would get the guys to move it into position for me, but it's only 88 lbs. Considering my brother and I moved the 32" widescreen TV, there'll be no point paying someone else to move it.
