fuck this job.com

Well I hope this is my last post. Tomorrow is the first day of my freedom from here. Am really excited and happy after a very very long time.
Good luck to all of you and God bless the person who created the site!
Here's wishing I don't have any reason to return here!
Cheers!

It's only been an hour and already I'm so bored I could cry...am yawning as it is and have perfected the closed mouth yawn and the silent lion roar yawn (that's best done when no-one's looking directly at you).
Got more pages to proof read ( three pages to be exact). So what else would I need for umm...15 minutes?
Also had a chance to interact with the lovely production person. This time I used only proofing marks (the standard ones) and didn't add any margin commentary. Now, my editor can't make out what the marks mean...hehheeheehehehheeh *cough*...the mental laughter is making me choke
Ok, so it's been another half hour and I'm still bored. Have checked the corrected copy (that took about ten minutes and only coz I was streching it)...now what?

Why is it that your bosses never once tell you how much (if at all) they appreciate your work till the day you hand in your notice? And why do they then proceed to give you more work do to in that last week or two than you have done all month?
It's probably some twisted sort of revenge, but what I don't get is why they would think that I'd do that work well? I mean, I have a new job. I don't need a reference and if I ever do, I'll not be asking this loser and he knows it. Plus, my new employers know that I wasn't happy here and the role is completely different -- so he can tell them how awful I was and it wont make a difference.

Hahahahahahahahaha!
Stupid supervisor/boss aka shithead has had his PC reformatted and the IT guys thought they were doing him a favour by upgrading the system to Windows 2003 (yes, that's brand new here). But they didnt realise that the moron has a hard enough time using Windows 2000! So now he's wailing that he can't use Word and he can't see his icons (coz they didn't put all the shortcuts on his desktop) and he thinks they've deleted his files -- which btw are on a shared folder on the common drive. So after letting him agonise a bit, I told them to map the drive to his PC at which point he realised that the printer wasn't connected to his machine anymore! What a fun day it's been so far!

This is so bizarre. My last few days in this hell hole are turning into a soap opera on a grand scale!
Last night, I had a talk with my boss's boss regarding my reasons for leaving (i.e, the boss in the middle who just does not know how to delegate work). I assumed that it was confidential and that if they took any action, it would be after i'd left.
But no, the big boss told the other manager, who called my immediate boss and told him -- and not in a subtle way...he said she said blah blah blah...
So my boss comes in post-lunch in a rage asking me why I said what I said...Now, may be I should have yelled back and stormed out...but I just got really embarassed and got the hell out of there until he was a bit calmer.(And this guy sits at the next desk -- like literally, just next to me)

I have reached the conclusion that you never know your real worth unless you put yourself out there.
It’s scary and you feel vulnerable as hell, but it pays off. After nearly 3 months of doing nothing, I decided that since I’m not learning anything new or even using my existing skills, I might as well quit and make use of my MA and my language skills. So I re-started the job hunt and gave in my notice.
I am now in a position of getting an offer from an outside firm as well as may be a better deal from my current organization. So I get to choose and I get to decide!
I feel amazing. I feel happy enough to shout woooohooooo down the street and dance about a bit. It’s like this huge burden off my shoulders/ chest/ inner being…I’m actually smiling and not in a bad mood for the first time in months! (Man! Why did I put myself through that????)

WTF!!!!!!
I should slack off rather than work and have my effort thrown in the bin without a look! Feel like kicking my line manager pig in the guts...but the thought of being in contact with that human slime is revolting ...
the SOB actually had the gall to give me some work and then do it himself...So of course he wont be looking at what I have been working on all morning...guess what he was working on all morning?
That makes me feel really productive...why on earth did they hire me?
Plus the guy is always defensive and thinks everyone else is too...so having anything close to a normal conversation is impossible!

ok this has to be an all time low...the guys at work are looking at pics of Angelina Jolie and commenting on how she looks sooo hot...and then, get this, they say they're all charged up now! eeeeeeeew! wet dreams at work? this is so gross...the bloody wankers are like spraying their pants! And it's just 10 am over here...this will be a fun day!
And these are the so-called hard (no pun intended) workers around here who stay here all night and all day supposedly working...but mostly goofing off...but if I come in 10 minutes late and work through my lunch hour...that's not work coz there's no one around to see...and I get cryptic messages like "Well, I'm not saying this, but some people have a problem with you coming in late" WTF??

meow!
exceeding bored at work...there is literally nothing to do.
on a positive note however, I did wake up bright and happy this morning and didnt even need the alarm...but then I remembered the SOBs I work for and suddenly felt like I was in school and hadnt done my homework!
i have also started organising things to do for after work...starting tonight...so I have something fun to look forward to...
this is so out of character for this site...
but I'm sure my manager will think up some devious way to spoil my day...there's a lot of it left!

Why do some dumb managers think that if they don’t do it, the work wont get done? You wont ever know if your staff is as stupid as you think, unless you give them assignments!
And if we are that bad…fire us and take the pay! Idiot!
I’m bored to the point where I’m falling asleep at my desk. Need to go out for a walk or something!
Why is it that when I ask for work I get all the really exciting stuff like sending out faxes and making calls and nothing related to the job I was supposedly hired for??
I need to restart the job hunt.
I feel like walking up to the big boss and having a serious talk about my role here – at the risk of getting fired. But then…

I've been here about two months and the place is run exactly the same way as it must have been 100 years ago. People are barely familiar with computers and processes are just not followed and completely haphazard. I can think of millions of little ways in which things can be done more efficiently -- for example, versioning of documents to keep a track of the changes made (since we publish magazines).
However, if I suggest this to my line manager, he just shrugs and smiles in such an annoying way. Now obviously, if I dont have his approval I can't very well go to his manager can I?
I did try talking to that manager once (about something totally different) and got pretty much the same response. So even if I did go to him, he wouldnt give me the go ahead either.

This is hilarious...I just googled "I hate my job" and got here....and it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one.
My story: Here goes. I moved to a new country in the Gulf (no, not Iraq) with my husband because he got a really great job offer and my old job wasnt worth us staying apart for. But I didnt know that finding a job in the new place would be so hard -- there are no opportunities here. But anyhow, I did manage to get a job in my field, but its boring as hell.
I've got 3 years work ex and an MA degree from a good Uni but they give me stuff an intern should and could do. I was doing more inspiring stuff at my previous job only there were long gaps between projects and a low salary.
