tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322190272011-08-31T01:42:32.072-05:00I have, for the last 9 months, been employed by company "B". I am in a remote office far from the HQ and have the feeling that they will be shutting down my office once my final project is finished. I have been doing as little as possible to maintain my employed status and fill most of my days playing video games and writing blogs to fill my time. This blog will be a running daily diary of my life until I am fired. I refuse to quit. Let’s see how long I can go.Menoreply@blogger.comBlogger701100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-86809308197331206372009-07-11T00:30:00.003-05:002009-07-11T00:45:08.440-05:00

Hello, I know it's almost been a full year since my last post but I'm so busy with the new job (still there) plus there's no good reason to dwell on the old shit. It was an experience that I will never forget. I was able to travel all over this country and a few others and was paid well to do very little. For those of you who go to work each day and surf the net or do other things other than work

Hi everyone, This is simply an update to anyone that may be curious. I am still at the same job since leaving that last waste of time. Although I was paid well to do absolutely nothing, I have only one regret and that is not learning more or training myself in some new skills while wasting away at that hell hole. I'm currently working at a job I could not have dreamed up before. It is the

Well, here's the deal. I left that miserable place back in July and made sure to inform our "Clients" about exactly why. See, i had not been paid for about 2 months before i quit and they had continued letting OAG and idiot sales guy and me all know that "the check was in the mail" well, i decided to finally leave and got another job right away with a great company that actually has work for me

So back when I was blogging about my situation on a regular basis i decided to have a blog review by italk2much.com Go down to Wednesdays review by "Heartless Lass" she goes on to bash the blog and that is her right, it's her blog to review 'em how she see 'em. Right?Well the funny thing about this is, as i started reading the comments that her adoring "fans" left on this review, that i began to

Really, is there much else to say. I can't talk about how much i hate this place on a daily or weekly basis and the fact that there's a new idiot on board does not help things, although he does deflect some of the bullshit I'd have to be dealing with. I've had it with OAG! New Sales Guy i swear almost cried the other day when OAG and i were fighting about the fact that she sticks her nose into

Yeah this blog has fallen to the way-side as I've been in serious job hunting mode. I've spent most of my day reading trades to catch up on some of the things that are going on within this industry so that i can feel on top of things when i go into my interviews.

Hi All,Well I have found myself on a last minute company trip and can't say where. I'll be here till Friday and the shitty hotel I was put up at does not have a great internt conection. I am typing out this post in an apple store down the street and don't think i'll be here more than to just checkl my own e-mail and end a few out.

I'm not gonna get into details but, because of new "policies" at the bank, I'm not able to cahs my compnay check at the reagular place. I have to go to the bank where "Dickboy" set up this business account in order to cash it.Why don't I just deposit it into my own account, again, long story.So i had to travel 1 hour south to the bank to cash this month check.

After my melt down with "OAG" yesterday I'm taking some time to cool off... :) riiiiiiight! Like i don't already have all the time in the world.Not doing crap today either.See you tomorrow.

I just had an argument with "OAG" about having to fight my way through every single suggestion I make. Case in Point - I made several remarks about the contract we were going to send to the "West Coast Client" and laid out reasons for NOT changing a handful of issues that "New Company B" decided to change. "OAG" tells me first thing this morning that they want to send the contract "AS IS" with

Hi All,Hope you had a good weekend. I decided that I would work from home yesterday and called "OAG" first thing in the morning to let her know. I got up and checked my e-mail, played some Guitar Hero, wrote 3 e-mails, went to the gym, got home checked e-mails, left with my friend to grab some lunch got home checked e-mails and answered a few, played BAttlefield 2 on the X-box till the wife got

I found a small project that I can work on today taht should last a few hours. Funny how happy I am to actually have something to do. But, once I'm done I'm taking off for the day. Going to leave early and then start on those "Work From Home" days next week.Have fun at work and have a good weekend.

I might talk "OAG" into implementing a "work from home" day each week. I'm getting sick of having to sit in traffic to do absolutely nothing all day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be "Work From Home Days". Will see how she reacts to the idea this afternoon. Of course during my work from home days I’ll be going to the gym and playing X-Box and PS2 games instead of my normal PC games that I

Still here doing the same thing. The people from HQ-Land might be coming here at the end of the month. Oh what fun. They're still doing the same stupid shit that "Old Compan B" did now they're fucking up the same way with a new name. This is stupid.As long as they're still paying me, I'll be fucking off.Have fun at work today.

I keep going. Not much to report, but if anyone cares I had a great relaxing weekend with the wife and dreaded comming back to "work" today. I'm doing some research on-line for a friend who is taking someone else to small claims court. Trying to find any information out about the process and how it all works and will give them any links to pertinanant information that I find.I don't have much

I just want to update Wednesdays -"Not Much Going On" post. I realize now that I said "I Hate Her" 3 times in that post. What I really should have said is that "I hate WORKING WITH her" "OAG" is a decent person, much to my hatred of her culture because of the way it classes people and judges them based on looks and who they are related to rather than goals accomplished, i do enjoy talking to her

Nothing different going on today. "OAG" is still getting on my last nerve. I'm still slowly searching out a new position but will be comfortable here until I find that job i really want. Talking to a few places and we'll see what comes of it at the end of the month. "OAG" and the people from HQ-Land have signed me up for a trip to an industry convention in March and air-fare and hotel have

I've done about the normal 45 minutes to an hour of work each day for the past two days, nothing exciting. This is usually made up of checking my e-mail, filling in a few measly reports and updating a document or two. I then sit around, either online or playing a game, waiting for a conference call to the HQ which is thousands of miles away. During the conference calls I have to reiterate the

"OAG" left early last night due to a head ache. I stuck around and updated some side projects I have been working on till about 7. We have some updates to send out to the west coast client and then there's nothign left to do. I have 2 blogs I plan on working on this afternoon and also a consulting project that I'm helping a friend with.I have not been playing any real games latley except for a

Last Friday "OAG" and I had an out of ofice meeting with a "potential" client. Got into work Friday morning, sat around for an hour then left for the meeting. Got back around 3 p.m. and told "OAG" there was nothing left to do for the day so I went home. She agreed and left early too. This morning I got here around 8 a.m. (about an hour early) and started working on another blog I had an idea for

I spent the morning running errands for myself although I had explained to "OAG" that I would be getting an estimate for the damage to the company car that the previous employeee had caused. See this post for a reminder I went to renew my vehicle registration, the Bank, got the wife a valentines day gift and cards, brought my broken iPod into Apple for serviceing (but it's dead) then I went home

I'm so bored I don't even have anything good to say on here today. "OAG" left for the day to take care of Immigration issues. I've been reading blogs and playing some online games. One blog I read was all about Man Hating so I'm considering starting a new blog which will be the contradictory exact opposite. I left a comment for them on this post. Link Here.

I've been playing around on Technorati all day and posting a bunch of "Blurbs" on their new WTF feature. For readers of this blog you may have already read some of this as I was trying to get the "Wrok Sucks" WTF thread up and running. Not doing much this weekend but watching the Super Bowl at a friends place. Have a great weekend.

I don't do crap all day and I spend too much time surfing the web and blogging. With that said i have the obligetory "Add me to technorati" buttons, banners, and other hoopla associated with the Blogosphere.

That's exactly what I'm doing today. Came in to the office "late" so that I could go to the bank and cash my thoroughly undeserved check. $3500 after taxes for doing nada!

For the past two days I've done nothing but surf and play games. All that "work" last week really must have taken it's toll. I've been researching stocks and other investment opportunities as the wife and I are looking into doing more with our money. So it's not a complete waste of time.

Monday meetings with “The New Company B” were interesting due to the inability to convey my fears about the direction that they want to bring this meeting in. They want to bring contract issues up in the meeting with the west coast client that will make it seem that I have not explained things. Example, the “Net Sales” they see that line in the contract as a direct reflection of taking money out

Aug 17th - Day 24Well so much for writing every day. At least the one thing I have been able to do is make time for conference calls to the East and West coast, so I’m up till 1 or 2 am t talk to the home office, crash for 4 or 5 hours and I’m up the next morning at 6 or 7 to talk to the west coast. I have been working non-stop from day one. At least I have not had to travel for the last month

I really am quite busy this week. I just got back from our west coast client trip and have a great deal to do regarding getting the new company up and running on the project. I am still going to interview with the other company but that is next week.

It looks like I'll be earning my pay this week. The new owners from HQ-land arrived yesterday and then I had to pick up Mr. Director of Operations from the airport. We all had lunch and then meetings about the new company goals and the state of our contracts with the west coast client. I will be preparing a power point presentation while we fly to the west coast about what the new company feels

Last night during dinner I received a call from "OAG". She had just been on a conference call with the people from the new company, which I was unaware of, and she had some "News" for me. Apparently they want to go to the meeting next Tuesday on the west coast and discuss parts of the contract we're going to sign. All of this has been discussed between "OAG" and me many times and I have informed

Well let’s just say that I am still freezing my ass off and my fingers are a little blue. I just got back from lunch and had purchased a large pastrami sub from "ToGo's" (chain sandwich shop like SubWay, i think it's better than SubWay but I digress).

I am in the office today as I left early yesterday. I sent "OAG" home early yesterday too because of a heating problem with our building. They're trying to fix it as I type this but my fingers are literally blue and my W.P.M. speed has decreased significantly. It was asinine to even be in the office yesterday because it was so cold in here but they are here and should be done in an hour or so. I

I had yesterday off as most of the US did for MLK day. But because the home office HQ is in another country they finalized the company take over last night. Now I have to set up a meeting between the new people that own me and the west coast client. There is a stipulation in the buy out contract that if the west coast client does not want to continue to do business with the new named company then

"O.A.G." took the day off to spend with a friend from out of town so I'm here all alone doing absolutely nothing. I wouldn't have even come in today but have to wait for the company accountant to drop off some tax stuff but once he comes in I'm out of here. This office has had problems with the heating for the last 3 months and I’m about 5 minutes away from putting gloves on to type. It's sooooo

So I was just surfing the net when I came across this little blog. [Click Here]It was posted by a doctor who listed out the top 10 things we all really hate about our own jobs. I can relate to a bunch of these, how many do you relate to?1. Lack of Communication2. Unfair Pay3. No Job Security4. Under Appreciation 5. Favoritism6. Overworked7. Micromanagement8. Incompetent Managers9. No Opportunity

Well, here I am sitting in front of this bullshit computer screen doing bullshit work and telling "OAG" that I'm busy working on business proposals, outlining design documents, and forecasting revenue shares for the latest client project. Whatever, I've been sitting here for the last 2 to 3 months doing nothing but surfing the net and playing online and PC based games. I am at a point now where

Not only am I bored but I am a cynical sadistic prick, and here's why.The wife loves the american television show "Medium". Because I don't care much for any television I will sit aimlessly by and watch a few shows with her on occasion. One night while watching shows with her, this show "Medium" comes on and in one scene the middle daughter of the star of the show is at the breakfast table eating

Well, after my extended trip yesterday, I finally got home at mid-night last night. So since i "worked" soooo hard yesterday i decided to come in today around 11 am. Had a quick conference call with the client and then left for lunch. I told "OAG" that I was going to lunch with an industry connection so I would not be back for a while.Although it is actually an industry connection that I went to

Well, after a 2 hour conference call to the HQ it has been determined that I will be driving 4 hours west to an industry convention on Tuesday morning. I have to go meet our one and only client to explain to them that "Company B" is going to become the new and improved "Comapany B With A New Name", in other words, the rumors seem to be true that we're about to be bought by some stupid company

I just woke up from a 2 1/2 hour nap. I spent some time on the internet this morning then I went to lunch with "O.A.G.". When I got back from lunch I started playing my Tycoon game and fell asleep at my desk...over 2 hours ago. I'm yawning as I write this.Whatever...going back to sleep..hope you have fun at work!

Well, it's a lovely rainy day and traffic was SUPER getting into this hell hole this morning. I can't complain too much though because it's not like I'm going to be doing much today and because I had one hell of a great weekend. Took Thursday afternoon off and left for a weekend get-away-retreat with the wife, got back on Saturday night and had Sunday to sit on the couch and watch the football

Last night I went to dinner with a friend who works in my industry, we met each other while working together at “Company A” and have become close since. Half way through our conversation, which happened to be all about work, I said to him, “You know, this is the most intellectually stimulating conversation I’ve had about work in months.” And sadly it had been, but I felt really good about talking

I spent the whole day on My Space adding friends to the other page i created, over 100 people on that one now. I had pretty much finished up for the night when I went to go check my own page and one of my new "Friends", Frank, left me a little note: I heard about your website on my local radio station in San Antonio and have been following your blog with great interest! I enjoy your postings and

Well I'm still here doing nothing. At least this means I'll get a check for this month. I got into work this morning and acctually had to do a little work. Sent off the samples to the west coast client and will have a conference with them later today about them. Other than that I spent most of yesterday and last night before I left on My Space. I created my own My Space page just for this blog

Still getting paid to play games and write blogs. Although today I have filled my time learning about the wonders of My Space. Count Down To My Own Demise now is in the social networking scene with my own My Space Page. Woo Hoo. Yes my day has been filled learning the wonders of HTML and how to gain "friends".

So tonight I have a conference call with the Director of Operations which should sort out the details of the next month or so. Can’t wait to hear what is going to happen, if anything. We shall see. Well, it’s a New Year and I have but one resolution. I will start each day by saying something nonsensical to “OAG”. Example: This morning as soon as she comes into the office I know that she’ll say

Ok, so before I go on a long hiatus for New Years and forget the details of this story I’ll document the incident that I had with the company car. Now, to preface this story, I have to mention that there are two company cars that were left in my care when I got back from my last extended trip overseas and which were also included in my “Promotion”. The first car was a 2003 Toyota Camry and prior

So, Office Assistant Girl" Is not coming in today as she’s traveling to go see her boyfriend this weekend. They live in different cities in the same state 4 hours away from each other and really only see each other 2 or 3 times a month. Regardless, she took off last night and told me she's going down to see him and would not be in today so being the worthless employee that I am I strolled in to

I just installed a script called "Snap Anywhere" Snap Preview Anywhere enables anyone visiting your site to get a glimpse of what other sites you're linking to, without having to leave your site. By rolling over any link, the user gets a visual preview of the site without having to go there, thus eliminating wasted "trips" to linked sites.Go check out Snap they seem like they're going to be the

Sure I didn’t post anything on here yesterday but that doesn’t mean I actually did any work. I was so engrossed in my game of “Dark Crusade” that I just skipped posting. Also I had to leave early to bring a friend to the airport. I do have to elaborate on my game yesterday though. I had been playing the “skirmish” battles of the game for the last few days but was becoming somewhat bored with it.

Yep,I went home, banged the wife (her company gives her the week off), ate lunch, watched a program on "HD Net" and returned 3 hours later. I am now surfing the net but will soon be playing a 3rd round of "Dark Crusade" in about 30 minutes.Here are some decent links I have found in the last hour.Visitors can share their awful work experiences at jobs they'd like to quit.http://www.fthisjob.com/

Yeah well, it's the day after and I'm here at "work". Bullshit. All of our clients are off for the next week and I now have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do as there is no one to send our updates to. But HQ cares not and "Office Assistant Girl" and I will be here all week. I am logging off Blogger and going to play "Dark Crusade". Yesterday was fun at the in-laws, the wife and I brought a friend along to

Here’s a collection of different people ranting about their jobs that they hate. I found all of this while searching through Yahoo and Google. I have done nothing but surf the net today. If anyone knows a good link to a tutorial about how I can get my blog to feed through the RSS thing or how I can get people to subscribe when I have updates please let me know.

Well, word on the street has it that we are going to file for bankruptcy and the assets (including me and "OAG") from the US office will be sold off to a new company from overseas that is trying to get a start up placed in America. "OAG" is blindly accepting of this notion given to her by our new Director of Operations but I see no reasons why the new company would take on old baggage. Regardless

"O.A.G." and I just got back from our "Company" Christmas party. My wife has today and tomorrow off so she joined us. I spent the majority of the "party" telling the wife about the latest Dickboy saga and wanted to do this because "O.A.G." would be there to back me up. See, the wife hardly believes half of these stories so having a little back up from “OAG” was good.Well, yesterday I did not do

So “Office Assistant Girl” (O.A.G) and I had a conversation this morning about our “Former boss/ US VP” and a conversation that he had two days ago with a representative from a major sports group that we have a license with. “O.A.G.” is friends with the representative and got the story from him because he was asking her if he “Was off his medication” because no one in their right mind would act

I found out last night prior to “Office Assistant Girl” leaving for the night that, HQ has requested that we begin to sell all of the office furniture that we are not currently using. Now, keep in mind at one point we had 10 people working here and now it’s just “O.A.G.” and me. The office space seemed to be too big for just two of us and it’s like living in a creepy old huge house that no one

I am so happy this morning. I got into work looked at my e-mail and discovered that "Office Assistant Girl" would be out all day today. What this means for me is that I get to plug my speakers in to listen to the sounds of the PC games I'm playing rather than the crappy headphones I've had to wear.I also got a new game last night "Battlefield 2" for my PC. Can wait to play it...ALL DAY!Have fun

So far most of my time today has been spent trying to get as many people as possible connected to my blog. I want to see what people think about what I'm doing and have created a Poll which is located over there to the right of your screen.I've also added a bunch of links to the games I've been playing and web sites I'm surfing.Go take the poll.I’m going to play some “Tycoon”.

After posting yesterdays recap I began a 5 hour search through the internet for Christmas presents, updating my online games and reading about a kid in New Jersey who recorded his teacher proselytizing in a public school history class. I also posted a comment to the online discussion about it where the people of the town are the most closed minded group of idiots and are ganging up on this kid

Well, since I spent most of last week posting the back story to this adventure I will now get up to date with latest events. Starting today and for the remainder of my time here at "Company B", I will give a daily report of my activities during working hours.To finish the catch-up phase:For the majority of November I would say that I only spent about 2 hours each day doing actual work.Most of

So, about 3 months ago I returned from a trip overseas for work that I was doing for “Company B”. I had been there for about 8 weeks when I finally decided that I could finish the project from the US office and get back home to my wife and my own bed. The day I returned to work I was quite surprised, not only had everyone but the office assistant/ translator been fired but I was going to get a “

I will start this count down with a bit of my back story. Nine months ago I was hired to fill a role at Company “B” that would have been a normal assent in my career. My former employer Company “A” had begun a quick and gruesome dismantling of the organization and it was at that time I knew that I need to look elsewhere in this industry to continue my climb to my ideal title. The biggest
