| 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 |

| I've Got Something To Do Today |
| Friday, February 23, 2007 |
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.Labels: blogs, bored, boss, bullshit, careers, I quit, 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 |

| Nothing to update |

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.Labels: blogs, bored, bullshit, bullshit job, careers, Stupid Job, surfing, What the fuck, Your job 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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.
