Day Job/Accolade oddity...

I've noticed a few things kind of like what you're describing in relation to the Day Jobs. So far none of these "hiccups" have resulted in permanent problems. Most of the time these things seem to correct themselves when I zone or relog.
I think it just has to do with how these GUIs first populate themselves with new data when you first log in. There seems to be a bit of timing problem between when the badges trigger and when the game checks all the timers for all the badges. Again I think it's mostly a display timing problem and not a "real" bug if you understand what I mean. Well strictly speaking I guess you could call it a bug, but not really one that's bad enough that it needs serious Dev attention. *shrugs*

They Day Jobs and related accolades have always done this. The newly awarded badges don't show up in the badge list until you zone. They may also show up after some amount of time, but I never checked because I didn't care once I discovered zoning would fix the problem.

The Day Jobs will correctly display immediately after being awarded.
The accolades still do not.

badge ***** xD
So I've got my main badger logged off in Cimerora to earn the day job badge there, as well as the Time Lord accolade (he already has the Ouroboros day job badge). I didn't think he'd been there quite long enough to get the badges, but I logged him in this morning to check anyway.
When I logged in, I got the "Badge Earned!" message, and the chat box says I got Cimeroran and Time Lord. For a moment, the "Most Recent" category in my badge listing showed only those two badges and no others. Looking through the Accolades listing, I didn't see Time Lord listed, and when I went back to Most Recent, Cimeroran and Time Lord weren't there anymore, just the other most recent badges I've gotten. The placeholder for Cimeroran still shows that I need about 13% more time to get, which is actually about what I thought anyway.
What makes it stranger is that the two badges show up when I view my "Personal Info" box. Here's a screenshot showing Time Lord in my personal info box, as well as the chat message saying I got the badges and the incomplete placeholder for Cimeroran.
I'll check in a few days when I should legitimately get Cimeroran (and Time Lord) and hopefully it'll be okay then.
