My thought process over the past twenty-four hours.
14 years ago
My work schedule for this weekend is the following:
Friday:
15h00-00h00
Saturday:
06h00-15h00
Sunday:
06h00-15h00
Now don't worry for me, the reason I have a evening shift AND the following morning shift is due to me and a coworker swapping mornings and evenings Saturday and Sundy, which lets me sleep Sunday evening before my classes Monday morning.
Alright, so Friday night after coming home from work a tad early (got another compassionate coworker to do the last half-hour for me), I come across an interesting 'sale' in my submissions.
Seeing how the character being auctioned is quite inspiring, I bid thrty bucks since the whole thing seems to go up by fives.
I'm almost immediately outbidded by the person I just outbidded, so I think than since the auction lasts an entire day; thus another nine hours from then, I decide to go to bed for the five hours I'm alloted to do so so I can outbid the person again in the morning before going to work and hopefully they I won't be outbidded again for the last four hours. Sketchy, but I can't do much better without hauling my laptop to work (I go to and from work on foot) and loot the net there (and luckily I didn't do that; boss showed up in the morning).
So at five am on Saturday, the 35-dollar bid just after mine is still there, so I bid again and go for fifty to give myself a little padding. I spend a lot of time at the start of my shift thinking I should have gone straight up to a hundred or one-twenty-five, but can't do anything about it.
I get back home at four in the afternoon (first coworker came in half-an-hour late) and check the auction to see that the person running the auction outbidded me for the person I've outbidded twice since they couldn't at the time and thus they won the auction.
Now don't get me wrong here, I would have been a tad pissed if the person had gotten a friend to bid for him while he couldn't (in fact, if that happened I probably wouldn't have known in the first place), but the fact that it is the person running the auction that did it for him just screams unfair to me.
I communicated that thought (though in a much more polite manner) and am currently waiting for some sort of answer from either of them.
I'll refrain from expressing more thoughts on the subject for now.
