Hi!
I feel like bitching about my work place. Now, after almost 10 years working at the Rio´s Federal Justice as a Judicial Analyst, I finally start to realize that the Justice itself is not bad. The government pays good salary, they cant fire you and the Union is always fighting for benefits – like 6 hours work day schedule – (well, thanks to the stupid Presidents and Congressists, we, public servents, lost many benefits, but still we are lucky 
) and this month we will have 20% salary raise and also in December we will have another 20% salary raise.
Taxes and social security, plus health assistance plan discount about 30% of my income, but stil…
The guy who is the director of thhis court I am working now (18th Federal Civil Court) is not really a public servant. He is like an outsider that works at the Justice as a director because every judge is allowed to hire anybody they want to be their director and their choffeur (driver). Pedro is kinda nice guy, but still I think that it is not right to hire those outsiders when there a loads of competent people between the pubic servents.
PS: at the other court where I worked (the 23th Federal Civil Court) there was another of those outsiders, who I call “Nazi Poodle”, a completely incompetent bastard!
Well, at the court I work, people are nicer than at the other court and I am alway from the judge (and I am absolutely off her special personal staff). But the thing is, her personal staff is a group of people who came from another court (they used to work with a judge that first was retired for being considered suspect of corruption – and now he is dead) and they all recieve an extra money besides their salaries. They are director, supervisors, assistant…. And its cristal clear that (apart from the director that needs to work because he depends on the judges will to keep his job the judge can fire him anytime she wants – he is the “outsider” I mentioned above), the other guys have kind of an agreement to make the rest of us work while they just walk around, arrive late, leave early and dont do anything. At first, I suppose they thought they could make me work hard for them. I believe they now know its not true, first because I work exactly the number of hours I have to – EXACTLY! And also I told them very clearly that I know I work well and if the judge is not happy with me just doing what I can during the necessary amount of hours I have to work, so I am happy to go work to another judge. Thats all!
And I try to keep in my mind that the problem is not the justice, but just some people and some judges.
The thing is, MOST of the judges are arseholes! I mean, they get approved on the dificult tests to become judge and they become devil insane monsters!
Once I worked for a judge who made me go to Lojas Americanas to buy hoses for her, I had to go shop for hoses many times because she didnt like any I bought and she didnt pay me back. She didnt pay me for the hoses she forced me to buy for her. I even had to sort out her air points!
Crazy bitch!
I worked for another crazy bitch for like 8 years. This one, like all the others, doesnt do any work. the judges just sign the decisions the workers do for them. I was a victim of moral abuse in her hands for 8 years! She is completely neurotic and hipocrit!
Ok…………. Its over, I dont have to work with her nor Nazi Poodle.
Tomorrow Pedro (the director at the court where I work now, he decided that everybody will have to input the location where the filles are kept all into the system so the filles wont get lost. So, he made a division where he and his personal staff group of friends wont have to do anything! Well, I will do the work in the two group of shelves, as he asked me. But I wont stress, I will do what I can, I wont do the other things I should be doing (my actual work), and thats it. 5 PM sharp I will leave work.
Thats all
I really like Sophie Kinsella books. She is so much fun! Its too girlie for men so the books are not good for a strong powerful man like my husband.
Besides loving the Shopaholic series, I also love her other books. Now I am reading “Can you keep a secret”. Its a bout a girl called Emma Corrigan. A girl who lives in London and works at the marketing department of a company called Panther Corporation.
Here is her website: www.sophiekinsella.co.uk
PS: like Sophie, I do remember my shoes, I know exatcly where I bought them and I love them (most of my shoes are now in New Zealand).
And now the Shopaholic book will be released as movie!!
Today I managed to do what anyone with a computer never wants to see happen. I accidentally deleted a partition and lost all my backup data. I was trying to create more space by deleting old data and merging some partitions on a backup hard drive. Probably through inattention, I deleted the wrong space. Aaargh! Woe is me!
Fortunately, I was told of a programme that has managed to recover all of my lost data. It works by searching for lost partitions and then, once found, allows you to choose to mount that partition so that you can then recover the data within that partition. It doesn’t mount the partition permanently, but that’s fine by me as long as I can get what I need. The reason the programme works this way is to prevent malicious software (malware etc) from running.
The programme worked a treat. It took less than two minutes after the very simple install. I’m now in the process of copying the 18GB of restored data to a new location. This programme has now been added to my list of Must Have’s. And amazingly, it’s Freeware. You can visit their site by clicking on the logo below:
