fuck this job.com

I quite possibly may have found the perfect job. Haven't actually gotten it yet, but I will know soon and from the interview and what I saw this sounds perfect. I'm remaining optimistic. I don't think I've ever felt so great after going to a job interview - so here's hoping!

I know a lot of jobs have things you don't find out till you're actually in there, but I'm choosing to have a great outlook on this. We'll see if I get it.

Woo!

Different land, different state, same crap.

Looking for a job in a state different from before but the situation is still the same. You apply. Nobody calls you. Or they call and you're not available, so you call them back and nobody answers. And nobody answers again. And there's no voicemail.

You're underqualified for the "good" jobs. You're overqualified for the "average" jobs, and the "crappy" jobs pay so low and are so crappy that you probably could get hired but just don't want to take on that kind of working environment.

An illegal who barely speaks English can get a better job than I can.

My job has been reduced to that of which a monkey could do. They took the best part of my job and gave it to someone else, and then tell me so like they're doing me a big fucking favor. Hey asswipes, now that you gave away a big part of my job, what am I supposed to do? Sit and watch the fucking clock tick by? Most of my job is now so mindless and brainless a damn flea-infested, banana-chowing, blue-butted monkey could do it. I have no mental stimulation. I can hear them now, "Dance, Monkey, Dance!"

If I am doing part of my job my boss will come in and watch, just so they can find something they don't like about how I'm doing it (even though I've been doing it and the way I've been doing it has worked FINE for a long time) and say, "Oh, do it this way" - not because it's a better way or more efficient to do it that way, but just because it's the way they came up with to do it as opposed to my way.

Sweet and Simple but sums it up pretty well. Oh, and her cronie can be a cowering pansy as well.

If I hear that fake syrupy sweet voice once more I swear I'm gonna punch her in the face. "Isn't this greeeeeeeeat?" No bitch! It's not!!!!!!!!!!!

God help me, I hate this place with a passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else here get stuck having to do extra work and/or redoing shit you thought you had done because of everyone else's fuckups? It drives me friggen nuts! I do one thing and I find out someone somewhere fucked up and I get stuck either having to undo and redo what I just did, because I didn't know it was wrong in the first place, or have to find a way to do my job while working around their mistakes. I have to work to be twice as conscientious as anyone else because I'm in a position where the details matter and everyone else's carelessness makes my job more difficult and complicated than it needs to be.

Fun! (No, it's not a typo!) I had FUN at work! Oh my gosh! Maybe it's that the world has started to spin the other way on its axis. Maybe pigs can fly after all! Maybe hell has frozen over! ...Or maybe my boss is just gone for a few days!

Shit yeah! If boss did not exist I truly do believe this job would be tolerable!

Ho hum.

Every time I turn around I'm given more and more stuff to do. And the fact that I'm barely keeping my head afloat as it is, while getting paid the same shitty wage while being given more and more crap to do, is practically beyond these people who don't seem to understand why I get stressed out. Meanwhile the boss walks around coming up with more shit for everyone to do (useless shit I may add)while doing petty tasks themself, and then gets upset when you don't get it all done. The job ads are my friends. I keep looking and I hope they get all freaked out when I get a new job and there's nobody to cover and do all the crap I do.

My job consists of lying. No, I'm not a lawyer, but if I were, at least I'd be lying while making the big bucks. Nope, I just have a crappy job. I lie about this, I lie about that, blah blah blah. Why? Because that's the way the job is. Everything I tell the customers is basically a bunch of shit, and since I suck at lying, I'm sure they pretty much know I'm lying too. Basically, to keep my job, I HAVE to lie. In fact, most of the lies are made up by my boss. "Tell them this." Sure. Great. Thanks.

It sucks when you basically have to compromise your morals for a shitty paying job just so you can pay the bills.

Thank God!

Okay, yeah, so the holidays are over, but I got thinking about it.

Shitty boss, working your fingers to the bone for him or her, and crappy, crappy pay with little or no appreciation. Wow! Working today for most people so much resembles a working Bob Crachit of a story so long ago written that it's scary! And for some people, trying to give the boss a little bit of enthusiasm or sense of caring (i.e. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or even a Good morning) is responded to with the same old criticism, lack of joy, or the same level of disparity - hope that word is right - with a big ol' "Bah Humbug!", which I think, quite possibly, is yesterday's version of today's "Fuck you!" (or at least that kind of attitude you get from your boss with any semblence of civility you try to show them.)

I swear these assholes like to play mind games with me. They conveniently don't give me information or "forget" to tell me important stuff and then when I am clueless about something they insist they told me. Uh, no assholes - YOU DIDN'T! Then they look at me like I'm a fucking nut case. It's so convenient that everyone else seems to know what's going on but I am left out of the loop. What the fuck? Do I not count at all? Especially if I'm the main person involved. What a bunch of shit, man!

Today's little tidbit of information that I was supposedly informed of explains why they're suddenly kissing my ass. I KNEW something was up, I just didn't know what.

I realized something today. There is no way in HELL I'm going to be able to do this kind of thing for the next 35-40 years or so. Crawl out of my warm bed to endure the misery that is my job. Go into work and do something I despise as the clock ticks by oh-so-slowly. No thank you! There are some people out there who actually ENJOY their jobs. Such an idea seems completely FOREIGN to me. Does such a thing even exist to the average person?

How hard is it to truly start my own Internet business? One where I can work at home and stay in bed until 11 if I want rather than crawling out of bed before the first rays of dawn appear? One where I can work in my pajamas or jeans or whatever else I deem wearable and appropriate for the day? One where I can take a vacation day "just because" on a whim or go on vacation when I feel like it rather than having to get it "approved" by the head honcho and work around everyone else's schedules? One where I actually get holidays off and don't have to dread them because I know I'll have to go back to the workplace soon enough?

I have to go to work and watch the fake display the place will be putting on to impress. God help me. If anyone asks me about anything, I'm not gonna say a word. I ain't gonna lie to make this place look good. Nope. Screw them. Thank God this is a short week!

I highly doubt Santa can put a "new job" under the Christmas Tree tomorrow night. *Sigh* I was hoping to have a new job by New Years.

I guess the boss took happy pills today because all day long it was sickeningly sweet the way I was talked to and told to do things. However, I don't buy this nice crap. I am suspicious. People aren't nice just to be nice when they are normally complete assholes. Either bossy just had a really good weekend, something is up, or it's just one of those rare days when we'll get to see the happiness. It's only Monday. Maybe the stress of the week is the missing factor. Maybe we'll see the happiness deteriorate as the week moves on. That or they're planning on getting rid of me (thank God!) I saw some things today that made me wonder.
