| Wow where did the time go |
| Wednesday, December 12, 2007 |
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 to do and a pay check.
I mean if you look back at some of the older posts, i made it clear that i really loved my job, it was just that this company sucked ass and treated people like shit, so I took advantage of it. fuck 'em. The new gig rules and i'm running the show up there. I've already had the new CEO talk to me about how much happier thier clients are since i've come on board.
I hope in the next few months, maybe during my holiday break I can sit down and go over the final days at the last shit hole.
If i don't get it all done over the holidays, check back and i'll be sure to post every so often.Labels: "OAG", I quit |

| Not much to say...but i'm still here and getting paid |

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 everything without knowing what the hell she's doing. He got so upset about US fighting that he stepped in and i told him if he had nothing to add to the conversation to just leave. His voice was literally quivering like a little boy who's about to break down and cry.
I'm not mindlessly wandering the internet and playing games all day, at least not always. I've been researching and studying about investment opportunities and the stock market. I'm hopping to make a descent sized investment by Sept. I've already been putting my "Hard Earned" *cough* *cough* money into CD's and Mutual funds and now want to take the next leap into investments so that's where a good portion of my day is spent if I'm not being interrupted by "work".
I have been on MULTIPLE interviews but nothing has panned out. If nothing works out, well there's always this place...who knows for how long though. I do know of an immediate job in case I'm forced to leave with a friend, it's in the same industry but lower on the food chain so in case something drastic happens i know I can always land over there.Labels: "OAG", "Sales Dope", Count Down, dumbass, Fired, interviews, jobs, What the fuck, work sucks |

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. Had one on Friday that seems to me to be a great place and a good fit for me,i'll have to move out of state for it but the $ is good and i'll be with some great people. I find out Monday what happens next with that. If they offer me a job i'll be telling this shit hole to shove it first thing Tuesday.
OAG" is still useless and we've hired a new Sales/ Office Manager who is only a step better than her. This is the same dipshit that the "Old Company B" had working here. When the New CEO asked "OAG" about having the US office find a new Sales Manager she (behind my back) told HQ-Land that this guy would be great. HQ-land and "OAG" never asked me about it or what my thoughts were. They just hired him. He is a real winner and I'll get into his story more next week.
Just to give you a taste of him. In the past I've seen this guy give a sales pitch to a big company without doing any prep for it and he spent the night before in the hotel playing World Of Warcraft rather than of going over the Power Point slides i made him. So, he thought he'd just be able to look at the slides and not study them at all before going into the conference room. Needless to say he stunk the room up and looked at me more than 5 times to explain the slides. We looked like idiots and did not get the job. So "Sales Dope" is back and i had no idea we were in the market for a Sales Guy. If i did I'd have spent more than a day looking for one.
Again, i'll try and really catch everyone up next week, hopefully I'll be preparing myself for a new job though. Alot has gone on but it really is only the same old bullshit. I still hate it here and do not feel guilty about taking a paycheck from these bone heads.Labels: "OAG", "Sales Dope", interviews, jobs, new job, Video Games, work sucks, Your job sucks |

| Quick Update |
| Friday, February 16, 2007 |
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 about her life and how things are with her personally. I don't "Hate Her" I do get annoyed to no end when dealing with her about our business but overall she is an interesting character. I enjoy learning about where she grew up and how it differed from my own childhood. I've done this with countless numbers of friends from all over the world and find that we're all not so different.
I just had to get that off my chest before the weekend came calling.
Later folks.Labels: "OAG", blog, blogs, good, people, reason, understanding, Work, work sucks |

| Not Much Going On |
| Wednesday, February 14, 2007 |
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 exact same thing I've been explaining all fucking day to "OAG", who has to translate all of this. She will then ask me questions that HQ is asking, but these are questions she has already asked me during the day. Really. She has already asked me THE EXACT SAME THING DURING THE DAY but continues to ask again because someone in an office thousands of miles away has asked her and now she needs to hear it again. I hate her.
I have gone to the lengths of asking her why she continues to ask me the same questions to which she replies, "Well, i just want to make sure you didn't change your mind. It's not like she asked me something once in passing, she usually asks me about one topic and asks many...MANY questions about it and I am good enough to understand that English is not her native language and if she seems confused about something I will re-phrase it so it's a little bit clearer. This has no effect. I GET THE SAME QUESTIONS. I hate her.
Last night at 7 pm while I was driving home (IN TRAFFIC!) she decide to call and ask me about a scheduling chart I had created (3 months ago). She was asking about one section of it where I had explained what products our services had to be developed for. She continued to tell me what section of the chart she needed to know about and i said "yes I know what section you’re asking about" but she never asked a question. I had to tell her that I needed to know what she wanted and she insisted that she already HAD explained to me what she wanted. To this I had to ask her to ask me her question in a different way. She then USED THE SAME exact WORDS IN A DIFFERENT ORDER. This went on for 20 MINUTES! I had explained to her each time that I still had no idea what she wanted and she decided that I was trying to make her upset. I then began (STILL IN TRAFFIC) to question what part of the schedule she was looking at and to read the schedule off line-by-line so I could understand where she was and what she was getting at. By doing this she answered the question herself because the answer was IN THE SCHEDULE! She realizes this, tells me about it and says simply “ok, bye. Have a good night.” Again, I hate her.Labels: "OAG", blogs, bullshit, bullshit job, pulliong hair, quit, Stupid co-workers, Work, work sucks, Your job sucks |

| Plans For The Day |
| Tuesday, February 13, 2007 |
"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 few 10 or 15 minute "flash" based games. Nothing to involved. Maybe at the end of the week I'll do some online RTS gaming. We'll see.
Till then, have fun at work. I know I am.Labels: "OAG", blogs, bored, boss, bullshit, internet, lazy, online games, PC games, quit, Technorati, work sucks, Your job sucks |

| Out Yesterday |
| Thursday, February 08, 2007 |
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 and watched a movie. "OAG" had called 3 or 4 times to see if I'd be comming in and i told her each time that "the shop was very busy and they're trying to get to it." This is the reason I did not post anything yesterday. I took the day off and it did not matter. Today the most important thing I have to do is call the west coast client which will take all of 10 minutes and then I'll be surfing the net, updating blogs, and possibly playing some online games.
More opportubnities have been falling in my lap and I expect to have a new job any time now. Till then i will continue to soak up a paycheck here while doing absolutly nothing to contribute to this worthless endevor. I despise "OAG" more each day and can't wait to tell her that I quit. Once I do she'l have 1 month to find a job with another US based company or face the possiblity of deportation due to not having a work visa. Back to HQ-Land...Buh-Bye!
Till tomorrow, you people have a great day at work and i'll be thinking of you. :)Labels: "OAG", blogs, bored, bullshit, deported, dumbass, Fired, I quit, Work, work sucks, Your job sucks |
