Work Rant

[Homicidalheathen]

Pissed I am still looking is all.

My guts been so bad lately not sure if I should work outside the home so we are looking at starting an ebay buisness.

[Scary Guy]

The only issue I have with work is it doesn't actually count as a job. Sure it's money but it's a fun job. Real job would give me a lot of it so I could save up for stuff.

I don't work cuz of the neuropathy in my legs and my schizophrenia. I still get paid though my work is going to a therapist weekly and a psychiatrist once a month. I did go to macomb and have an associates in computer information systems but don't do anything with it anymore cuz I'm too unstable to work.

[Medea]

On the plus side, I'm now working pretty much full time.

On the other hand, I have to take an hour long bus ride to work, I only have one day off a week, and I'm still getting paid minimum wage.

This isn't so much a rant, but...

My friend Amy came into work today with her diary from when she was twelve years old. If you've never read a twelve year old's diary, I highly recommend it. It says very funny things like "I love Jimmy. He's SOOOO cute." and then the following day "I hate Jimmy. I hope he dies. I love Jeron."

My personal favorite was "I love Yoshiki. His eyes look like this \ / "

So, Amy tells me to copy a couple of the pages and take them home to show Guy.

So, I'm at the copy machine copying what is VERY OBVIOUSLY not work related, it is after all, pink and fuzzy with the word 'DREAMS' in rhinestones. Then, silently, Captain Fun walks up to me. He's the VP of Finance. We call him Captain Fun for the same reason that bald people are called Curly. So, Captain Fun, in his smart Brooks Brothers suit, looks down his nose at me and says in his condescending voice, "What are you copying?"

Okay, think, Sass, THINK! Be cool, above all else, BE COOL.

So, I turn around, walk a few steps toward the table that has birthday cake on it and WITH MY BARE HANDS shove an entire piece of cake into my mouth. It's a big piece, too, so it doesn't really all fit into my mouth, so I'm sort of like, punching it into my mouth. There is a large glob of frosting now above my upper lip. And this is cake, it wasn't meant for punching, so it's crumbling in my bare hands, and now I have large chunks of chocolate cake rolling UNDER my shirt, and into my cleavage. And I am just standing there staring at him, pointing to my mouth, like "Oh, I'd tell you ALL ABOUT what I'm doing, but I'm having a little nosh right now."

He's still staring at me.

I've almost finished eating the cake.

I haven't thought of anything. I'm starting to panic.

So I do the only thing I can think of. I shove an entire other piece into my mouth.

The panic is now turning to hysteria. There isn't much cake left, and I'm starting to feel a little sick.

Finally, after watching me finish nearly TWO pieces of cake, Captain Fun shakes his head at me and walks away.

And, that's not even the worst part. The worst part of this whole story is that after he walked away, I thought to myself 'Whew! Good thinking on that one! That could have turned really bad! You're a clever little cupcake, aren't you?'

And it wasn't until I returned to my desk and began picking clumps of chocolate cake out from between my breasts that I began to think that, perhaps, just perhaps, this was a very poor career move.

And, my tummy still really hurts...

I have tears streaming from my eyes...I can picture the whole thing...Captain Fun!...oh god it hurts

Sass, you've now become one of my favorite people. I just thought you should know this.

:blushing

Aw thanks guys...let's just hope when my boss calls me into his office on Monday that he finds this equally amusing

cake and boobies....mmmmmmm

:laughing

[saechalyn]

My coworker chomps and smacks on gum ALL DAY LONG. I'm trying to think up a tactful way to ask her to knock it the fuck off.

[LuluVox]

My co-worker is an android. And not in a good way.

[creatureofthenyte]

I can't really rant about my job.

I've had the same job for nearly 7 years now.

Good pay, great insurance.

I see my co-workers almost never, and my boss even less then that.

[TygerLili]

I had a run-in with a doctor at work on Friday. He's a conceited, inconsiderate ass who thinks that everyone is just there to do whatever he asks, and doesn't even bother to say "excuse me" when he runs into you and

almost knocks you over in the hallway.

I do find it amusing, though, that he refuses to learn our oh-so-complicated intercom system, which consists of dialing the appropriate 3 digit extension code off a list of extension numbersthat correspond with the names everyone in the office. Apparently it's much easier to exit the building, take out his cell phone, call back into the building to the front desk(which he had to pass to go outside to place the call) and ask them to patch him through to the one person in the business office whose name he can remember, then ask that person to get him whom ever he wants to speak to.

[Guest Megalicious]

I'm in a place right now where I don't like work very much, the last 4 weekends I've taken off and loved it. I gave them my 2 week notice. I'm just going to take a couple of months off to be with my family, I will be taking a trip to Cail to see friends and family and just sending time with Jarod and the child =).

It's nice to know I have a job waiting for me when I get bored. My boss basicly said that all I do is have to give him a call when I want my job back, which is awesome that I don't have to go job searching =)

[Brenda Starrr]

Right now, I have no work rant. Thank you.

After Memorial Day our truck night changes from Thursday to Friday which makes for another non-sensical schedule change. Instead of getting Sunday and Tuesday off like I used to, I'm no getting Tuesday and Thursday off. Because, you know, Sunday nights are oh so important and they really need two of us on that night </sarcasm>. *rolls eyes* I keep asking to get it permanantly off for religious reasons so I can go to church (which is true) but they keep denying me. And if I raise a fuss or refuse to come in, they'll just fire me and there's nothing I can do about it because A) I was let go because of availability conflicts and it has nothing to do with religious discrimination, and 2) It's at will employment anyway so they can fire me for no reason at all, just because. So, I have no choice but so bend over and take it until I can find a different job. And it's not like I can laterally transfer into any other similar job 'cuz it won't be worth being out of benefits for three months. No, I need something way better that'll pay me at least twice what I'm making now and I won't find that in Michigan, that's for sure. Ugh.

[Hellion]

That at-will bullshit I think should be illeagal,fire someone for no fucking reason,I know age discrimination is pretty much legal now,and yaeh Spook you are worth more than what your paid,This is also a big problem in America,where no matter how much you know,and how much experience you have,they never want to pay according to your experience ant the cost of living,which is way out of control.

Its really going to be bad when 20 bucks an hour is minimun wage.

[creatureofthenyte]

That at-will thing, is one reason why I could never live in Michigan, although I wouldnt mind visiting..again.

I see commercials advertising how good Michigan is for businesses, yet so many times I read of DGN'ers lookin for work.

I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with that crap.

I still can't complain about my job actually.

Well maybe alittle, there are co-workers that, don't do the job properly, and or violate company policies and get away with it.

Yet, if someone like me, I show up, I do my job, then go home, if I tried any kind crap like what they pull, I'd get castrated in a heartbeat.

I'm hoping Karma bites those people in the ass.

Anyhow, as I stated previously in another post in this thread, my job is unionized; good pay & benefits

CT is not an at-will state, and that is one of a very small amount of reasons why Im still here.
