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.comBlogger69125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-4245008465740437412008-09-20T21:17:00.002-05:002008-09-20T21:26:29.249-05:00Still Alive and KickingHi 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 perfect Menoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-35042127130593373262007-12-12T23:03:00.000-05:002007-12-12T23:11:10.326-05:00Wow where did the time goWell, 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 Menoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-48043186921981828492007-06-14T16:30:00.001-05:002007-06-14T16:46:47.993-05:00A review of "Count Down"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.

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.

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.

I decided that I would work from home yesterday and called "OAG" first thing in the morning to let her know.

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 Menoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-48396203270189748252007-02-21T20:19:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:44:42.803-05:00Nothing to updateStill here doing the same thing.

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 Menoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32219027.post-10182415260756754902007-02-16T16:55:00.000-05:002008-12-09T00:44:43.098-05:00Off For The WeekendHave a good one.

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.
