I just might survive this

Submitted by BuzznFrog on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 06:40.

I’m scared to say I’m almost starting to like my job. My major gripe about this job was the hours: second shift, OT, and weekends at my main job, and part time at another job that I am trying to leverage into a career. What free time I have is when my friends are working so I have little/no life outside than work. But I went out Friday night, and you know what? I had a good time and I didn’t fall asleep at my desk on Saturday anymore than usual.

So at least I still have one night a week to hang out. I don’t drink so I don’t have to worry about waking up for work with a hangover. The people at my job are very nice and I actually feel good when I walk in there. The only times I mind it are actually when I’m NOT there (thinking about how I have no life) or when I am there late, things slow down, and almost everyone else has left and it’s hard to keep myself entertained.


Why do I even bother?

I'm wondering why I bother looking for work anymore. I don't want to find a job. Whatever I find is going to be fucking awful (like every job I've ever had). I want to remain unemployed for the rest of my life. But I know I can't, so every day I look and look and send out resumes and get no responses... It doesn't ever stop. There's no progress to be made. I've been looking at the same fucking job listings for two months. Sending resumes to every job I could possibly apply for, which are mostly jobs I could have easily gotten without a fucking worthless college degree. Still no responses.


Helicopter Boss

Happy New Year, everybody.

I haven't posted in a while, not that you necessarily noticed (I don't expect anyone did), but my absence has not been due to workplace contentment, it's just that the time leading up to the holidaze sucked the life right out of me. Anyway. I'm back at work - things restarted here last Thursday, but were in full swing as of yesterday. Nothing has changed: my new office situation still sucks. I share space with 3 people: one is hostile, cold and overall just a horrid person who should have her own office and be far, far away from everyone else; one is dumb and relatively useless - he wouldn't be a problem if he didn't talk so fucking much; and one is very nice - I'd share an office with her any time, all the time. But they are not really what I'm here to complain about.


And F you too.

I gave my notice yesterday. I have three people I report to and all of them were on vacation. We have a part time controller that I do the recons for and I thought I wiould tell him today. Well, after 8 and 1/2 years, all he had to say was good luck, nothing else. Fuck him. I get to go through all of this Thursday and then again Friday as each boss comes back. This really sucks. Oh well, on to bigger and better. have to ay it again Fuck you,TK!!!!
