fuck this job.com

Hi I'm gloooom and I'm back. I don't know if anyone here was around about a year ago when I started posting about my shitty job, my escape attempts, etc. I'm still at the job and I am happy to report it is somewhat more bearable, but not because anyone got smarter. But I feel ranty today and thought I would check back in.

Let's see what's happened since I've been away! They finally hired a replacement for the bon-bon eating division VP who was canned about a year ago. I have met this guy exactly twice - once at his welcome lunch, the second time in a hallway. Have never received an e-mail from him. I'm not even sure he's real - perhaps they just hired an actor to play him those couple times. A year later, we are still not allowed to order stationery, because, you know, they might be changing our division name soon. Which they said a year ago. They also restructured us, but nobody's jobs have actually changed. Amazing, the non-restructuring restructuring!! Now that's progress.

Nobody else has quit. Still working with the same people. Nobody new has arrived. Still a hiring freeze.

The software I used to bitch about? It finally got delivered. It pretty much sucks, as I suspected, and it has a lot of bugs in it. Now my boss wants me to do "round two" of improvements with them. Fuck that! I never want to talk to that vendor again. Why, so they can fuck up something I have learned to work with? Keep your fucking hands off my fucking software that I wept and bled over for 3 years.

The job I was offered but didn't take? One of my rare good calls. From what I have heard they are now on a crazy fucking treadmill going 100mph and don't know what they're doing. That combined with the lower pay and dungeonlike conditions, probably I would have been a suicide by now.

You will probably be hearing more from me as my soul is slowly squeezed between four months of no vacation and no time off (until Christmas). Taa taa for now.
