| Just an Update |
| Saturday, July 11, 2009 |
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 and wish you could get paid to do that all day, i'm here to tell you, its not that great. Near the end of my time there I didn't even have to hide what I was doing, and I was bored out of my skull. I hate having to look for busy work to do or to "look busy" so the new place is perfect, there is always work to do and I'm quite content....shit, I'm fucking happy to be working and productive each day.
I'm at the office 50+ hours per week now and couldn't be happier. At the old place I was barely spending an hour per day sending e-mail reports to clients or the overseas home office and I was trying to look like I was doing something for the other 6 or 7 hours that I was there. For the majority of those 6 or 7 hours I blogged on here, played video games, surfed the web and had lunch. It bored me to tears. The grass is always greener right?
For those of you who read this blog at all I hope i provided a bit of enjoyment or a means to show you how good (or bad) you might have had it at work. For those still finding this strange little blog, enjoy. Not sure how often I'll post here, maybe once a year, maybe if I ever run into Sales guy or OAG I'll send an update. Till then...Labels: blog, blogs, bored, boss, bullshit, bullshit job, careers, dumbass, Fired, freezing office, italk2much.com, jobs, reason, Stupid co-workers, surfing |

| Banking HORROR Today |
| Thursday, March 01, 2007 |
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.
Just another feather in this fucked up compnay hat in terms of money. Not sure what I mean, check this out. [CLICK HERE TO READ THE BANKING NIGHTMARES]
Have a good one, i'm outa here for the day.Labels: blog, bored, bullshit, money, pulliong hair, Stupid Job, stupid people, work sucks |

| "Working From Home" Yesterday |
| Tuesday, February 27, 2007 |
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 home then made dinner for us. That was my day.
I have a few things that i can do this morning but other than that i'll be sitting around here doing very little.
Have a good day today, don't work to hard.Labels: blog, blogs, bored, jobs, new job, nothing to do, quit, Stupid Job, work from home, work sucks |

| Leaving Early |
| Thursday, February 22, 2007 |
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 play here in the office.
Have fun at work, hope you enjoy what you do.
If not I hope your living vicariously through me. :)Labels: blog, blogs, bored, nothing to do, Stupid Job, Work, work sucks |

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 going on this week but will be out of town for business durring March I think.Labels: blog, bored, bullshit, bullshit job, careers, court, friends, internet, money, nothing to do, small claims, 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 |

| More Of The Same Today |
| Thursday, February 15, 2007 |
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 already been purchased. I think I'll be able to make some great connections there on my own and hope to have a job by April.
Still can't believe I've been getting by on literally 45 to 70 minutes of work a day since Oct. That's when I gave up on this place. I then decided to blog about it in December and have over 60 posts. With that being said I thought this picture was very appropriate. I don't make six figures but I'm not too far off the mark. I'm getting paid to Blog, kinda.
Have fun at work. Tomorrows Friday but as Les Claypool once said, "Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed, they don't mean as much...." or in my case not doing shit.Labels: blog, blogs, bored, bullshit, bullshit job, Count Down, Pro-blogger, quit, work sucks, Your job sucks |

| The Past Two"Work Days" |
| Monday, February 12, 2007 |
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 over the weekend. I set up the template, started on the first 6 posts and uploaded some pictures. It is my first time working with a "WordPress" blog so I'm getting into exploring that format.
Till tomorrow, have fun at work.Labels: blog, blogs, bored, careers, dumbass, I quit, lazy, Learn, WordPress |

| Once Again, NADA! |
| Tuesday, February 06, 2007 |
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.

"OAG" is out for the day with a "tummy ache" What's a boy to do? GAME'S!
I have really done nothing since my return from the west coast. I'm also waiting to hear back from the comapny that I've been interviewing with but that'll be a few more days I'm sure.
Till Then I'm doing NADA!
Happy Mondy and have fun at work.Labels: blog, blogs, boss, bullshit, careers, money, pay check, quit your job video, Very cool, Video Games, Your job sucks |

| Surfing All Day |
| Friday, February 02, 2007 |
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.Labels: blog, blogs, boss, bullshit, careers, internet, social network, surfing, Technorati, work sucks, WTF |

| Whole Lot O' Nuthin' |
| Thursday, February 01, 2007 |
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! I hope I'm using my time wisely. Once I got to the office i sat down, check personal e-mail and began checking my daily web site's. 
My morning checklist in no particular order:
-Personal e-mail account
-Anonymous e-mail account I use for this and another blog
-Both blogs I'm currently "working" on
-Blog Counter Stats
-My Space account for this blog and for another different web site I started over a year ago
-Feedburner
-BlogMad
-Blogexplosion
-Digg
-Reddit
-Cyber Citezens, online game
-Alexadex, web traffic game
-Alexashare, web traffic game
-Netscape I got banned from Netscape this morning. I had multiple accounts and they caught on. opps. :) I was using all of the accounts to send traffic to the other blog, not this one, called "I found It on The Internet"
After looking through all of those sites I just randomly begin to surf the net or play some games. it varies from week to week this week has been a blogging and net surfing week.

| Template Change |
| Wednesday, January 31, 2007 |
Well, yesterday i did alot of studying and reading about HTML and tried to apply some of the newly learned skills. I failed. If you tried to view this page in the last 24 hours you would have seen the original posts surrounded by garbled HTML code. I screwed the previous template up pretty good. So instead of just reposting the same template I've found a new one where I have a little bit more freedom to try new things out.
Hope you like it, it's still a work in progress and as you know from reading this ridiculous blog, I have all the time in the world to figure it all out.
In short, I'm teaching myself HTML by creating/updating this blog, my "My Space Page" and another blog I started a month ago. I screw up sometimes but I've got the nerve and time to try to figure out what I did wrong and then fix it.Labels: blog, HTML, Learn, lunch time fun, Template, tutorial |
