Has happened to me - my requests have been denied, yet other people in the office can do what they please, bosses play favoritism all the time - asswipes

The ability to "work" from home one day a week is the only thing that saves my sanity. I make sure to answer emails promptly but spend the time on other pursuits.

First off we all KNOW there is NO "team" The "team" is a fucking myth that we all have to play along with. FUCK the team. If I hear the word TEAM again I will hurl fucking chunks and I am sure you can relate to this.
IF you can manage to get off on a sick leave (which you should if at all possible) please let me know how and what you did to pull it off. This is something I was seriously considering a couple of months ago but never persued and should have. I don't feel like falling asleep in my car in the garage while it is running quite as much as I did back in November, but things are not ideal. I love to see people who actually deserve a leave..get one. Instead of all the coniving assholes who actually manage to pull this off who do not deserve it.
LOL at the "impromtu" brainstorming. Translation: impromtu bullshitting. Oneupmanshipping disguised as team working. Same shit; different pile. You sound like a straight shooter who is getting screwed (what a surprise).
Check out the leave thing.

Bent, I felt like I was talking to myself when I read your response. The place I work at has two owners. One of them has degenerated into being the class clown and doesn't give a shit anymore. The other one has sense and understanding. Unfortunately, he has nothing to do with my project. But I have decided to walk into his office and tell him I'm taking February off. Money isn't everything. I've got enough savings to live off of for several months, so one month off won't affect me.

I took Friday off as a sick day, mental sick day. I was fed up with that place and couldn't go in. There is about a one week break on the horizon as I have been given individual work that is not related to this shithole project. Just debating if I should finish this other work (which is unaffected by my fucking manager and his impromptu meetings) and then ask for the time off, or just fucking take the time off now.

Thanks so very much for all of your responses, and I'll keep you all up to date.

Hey I feel you. I just got a laptop from my job and I thought it would make me enjoy working more. HAH! The day after my first day working from home, I was informed that I couldn't do it "everyday." In other words, only in emergencies...Working sucks!

So I had a lunch meeting with the other boss. He gave me the go ahead to take time off if I need it. He didn't sound too happy when I informed him of the sad state of affairs of this project. I could tell it was bothering him that I had been reduced to this by my manager and the other boss. He suggested a meeting with the two of them, as time off wouldn't really solve anything.

I was open to that except we had a brief project status meeting today. I just can't seem to get past my complete hatred for this fucking bitch they've hired who is really calling all the shots on this project. We are fucking around on documentation for 2 years because of her. Hearing her voice on the other side of the phone made me realize I can't work with her. I'm taking that leave of abscence in a couple of weeks. I've got to finish up this other project which is very enjoyable. The key is I'm the only one on that project. No bullshit getting in my way there.

Fuck these assholes and that fucking bitch. They don't value my opinion or work, they can go to hell. It'll be nice seeing this project fail. Soooo fucking nice.
