| 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 |

It is still to cold in here to be productive (productive in the sense of updating this blog!) but alas the heating crew is here to really fix the problem. That being said it'll still take about 3 hours for this place to really heat up once they've fixed it.
Over the course of the last 3 days I've really spent allot of time with both hands in my coat pockets and reading HTML tutorials. I have an idea for another blog so I'm going to adapt the knowledge I've been feeding myself and apply it to the new blog. Depending on how it goes I might just change the layout of this one too. We'll see.
That's it for now, typing hurts my fingers (insert Happy Gilmore quote:
Elderly Woman: My fingers hurt.
Nursing Home Orderly: Oh, well, now your back's gonna hurt, 'cause you just pulled landscaping duty. Anybody else's fingers hurt?... I didn't think so.)
I'm outa here.
Have fun at work.Labels: boss, bullshit, careers, cold, Fired, freezing office, quit your job video, Stupid co-workers, weather, Work, work sucks, Your job sucks |

| How Cold Is It In My Office? |
| Wednesday, January 17, 2007 |
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'm reading an e-mail and eating when I look down at the paper wrapping the sandwich came in, that I'm using as a placemat, and noticed something, shall we say, a little unordinary. Now, pastrami is not the healthiest thing you can have but it is served hot and occasionally it can be a little greasy. Normally when I order this meal for lunch I notice small little "pools" of grease that have accumulated on the paper wrapper which is a result of the grease dripping off of the bread. So, to give you an idea of how cold it is in this office I have taken some pictures of the greasy stalagmite and stalactite formations that have formed on the paper wrapping and on the sandwich itself.
 As you can see the bottom "stalagmite" would usually just spread out and create a little puddle but since it is refrigerator temperature inside the office the grease has cooled so rapidly that it has formed a mound.
 I pulled back a little on this photo to give perspective with a bit of my thumb in the shot. Notice the grease cooling off before it even leaves the bread, just hanging there. I should quit this lame ass job to become a photo journalist, well, not really. This little blog just might make me change my diet. Blah.
Note: I took these shots with just my cell phone camera. Moto RAZR. Not bad for a cell phone, I think.Labels: blogs, boss, bullshit, careers, cold, Fired, freezing office, I quit, jobs, Stupid Job, Sucks, weather, Work |
