I asked for an hour back of the time I'm owed at work. Sadly it was refused. This left me feeling angry and forced me to go over my supervisors head. I still didn't get the hour but did put my point over to the manager. She was understanding though her hands were tied as she couldn't very well overturn the supervisor's decision. That is understandable yet it left me no further forward other than my expressing my wish to take an hour back every second Friday as I do have a long week to come. Which is made longer as it is my turn next week to work on to cover the retort. As I said she said she understood and advised me to ask a couple of day before I want the time back in future. Good advice though I'll need to wait and see if that works in future. As it was I was finished cleaning my area around the time I wish to leave for home. After that I was as I saw it not really needed so could have been given the time. Not worth worrying about it now though just need to learn from it and wait to see if I do get some time back next time.
I got a game from Steam, State of Decay, a zombie game. After downloading I have spent more time trying to find a solution to it crashing out every five minutes. Even Steam support have been no help. Search forums has lead to fruitless returns. Steam suggested registering with the games official forum and querying there for an answer. I have search that forum several times but haven't registered as yet. It isn't the first game from Steam that has led to problems and each time support has been terrible. Usually though the game do allow me to play for an hour or two before they crash which makes them playable. The only other game that does this is another zombie one, Dead Island. Maybe my computer doesn't like the dead rising, hehehe. Well I have this weekend to try and find a remedy to the problem. After a week though I am think I might not get it working right. Maybe deleting it and re-downloading might work. I haven't tried that one yet. It might be worth a go as I won't lose anything. Five minutes doesn't give you much to save.
