Ever Shown Up to Work When You Weren't Supposed To?
I just did.
I was all resigned to the fact that I was working on a Friday night, even going so far as to tell the GGNers that tonight's sim would be uploaded later than usual. I got dressed, bought the coffee, got all the way to the office - at which point the boss looked at me and said "You're not working tonight, Brian".
Oink?
So now I'm back, with a coffee and snack that I don't need, absolutely no clue what do with my suddenly-free Friday evening (aside from run the aforementioned GGNL sim on time, for once - you're welcome, Meal ), and generally feeling rather befuddled about the whole arrangement.
So, two questions: (1) am I alone in this feat of monumental dopiness, and (2) what should I do tonight?

Haven't made it to the point of getting to work, but I've definitely awaken on a Saturday morning in a panic because the alarm clock I didn't set failed to wake me up. I think the farthest I've gone is mid-way through a quick shower before realizing I was pissing away valuable sleep time.

Oh, yeah. My worst was a job where we had 3 shifts working 24/7. THe problem was, the shifts rotated. 1 week on day, 1 week on swing, 1 week on graveyard. Rinse and repeast for 10 months.
I think I showed up for the wrong shift at least 4 times. Of course, the fact that I was massively sleep deprived because my body couldn't adapt to changing my freaking sleep schedule every damned week might have had something to do with it.

Hmm, crap, I didn't think of that. It is/was on time (the file is uploading now), but since I actually announced that it was going to be late, I may have to redo this one. We'll see if anyone complains about not getting their offers in. If not, we'll stick with this... if they do, I'll have to re-run it.Koz wrote:Oh crap, it's going to be on time?
Glad you got yours in, though, Koz.

Yes, but tacky is better than f*ed up - but it may not even be necessary. Further, I won't consider it as willingly for a regular sim, but FA is a more manageable beast: since players favour offers based on predetermined preferences, and not the myriad of variables (plus luck) that affect the outcome of a game, the only changes in a re-run FA sim would be those directly affected by the offers of any teams that hadn't sent their's in before the sim was run.Gromit wrote:A do-over?
Ummm, a bit tacky don't you think? What's done is done.
But again, this is me talking theoretical (I probably shouldn't even have posted it in the first place), and it assumes that (1) people actually have a problem, (2) they say so promptly, and (3) the problems are serious enough to warrant any action. So relax.

Yep.
Went in on a Friday night and the Asst Manger looked at me and asked "You working tonight? You're actually off."
I looked at the schedule again and had written down the wrong date as I was actually supposed to work the following Friday. I wound up staying to work the shift and basically picked up the extra hours.
