happythoughts 0 #3 August 5, 2004 Long time no see. After a while, any job becomes just a job, thus the rule that you get paid to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #4 August 5, 2004 Ahhh, yes, the pay...that always puts a big smile on my face when I reep in that big commission check...only I'm sitting here w/ no leads (mortgage broker) Damn school-starting...it's always slow when the kiddies run back off to school and mom and dad are more worried about school supplies than paying off debt.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

CrazyIvan 0 #5 August 5, 2004 QuotePost your job woes here: Misery loves company Well, after a few months of HARD WORK, and improvement and endless ass kissing sessions from my boss OH!!! and almost daily congratulations for "being truthful" to my reputation, some "changes" were announced yesterday, and that means one thing, MY ASS WILL BE UNEMPLOYED SOON, and I'm saying this because I was "promised" a "good position" right after I started, and then this past monday those "opportunities" just vanished. Anyone needs a Cabana boy...in say...two months? __________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #8 August 5, 2004 QuotePost your job woes here: Okay! Finally, someone is asking me to complain! -My boss can't talk normal. First, he takes about 20 minutes to get out a sentence. Second, he talks to me with the corporate mumbo jumbo tone. Third, he actually think I care about Bob from Dept. Z. I don't care! -They want to move me from a cool place like downtown Chicago to an evil place like Northbroo (we refer to it as Hell.) They try to convince that Northbrook is great since they have a gift shop, an ATM, and they're only 5 mins from Friday's! Big frickin deal! I work in downtown Chicago. Anything they have, we have 100 more of and closer by. -They have meetings every other day to discuss which font they should use for the minutes from the previous meeting. -I have to do work that isn't mine. I'm an actuary. I use math and statistics. There are programmers. Why do I have to check their work? Why do I have to waste about a week of my time to make sure they can do their jobs? I'm also not an underwriter. Why do I have to file underwriting changes? -The main boss won't talk to me anymore since I said that I won't go to Northbrook. This is actually an advantage because he doesn't know how to talk to people, so he assumes that everyone likes to talk about baseball. The only good thing about my job is that I have a cool coworker to complain to. His only problem is that he won't go drink with me during the middle of the day.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #9 August 5, 2004 QuoteOkay! Finally, someone is asking me to complain! As if that ever stoped you! Quote-My boss can't talk normal. And yo can??????? How about that for woes: I was promissed a job with commission, I havemt seen 1 dime even if I now will beat my target with my next sale. Silly me for taking a man to his words. I was promissed a job with good technical challenges, and now more and more of the job is pure sales. Yuk. There are no hot chicks in the office. None whatsoever.

skymama 37 #21 August 5, 2004 My dad moved a couch out of our home office to make room for a desk for my brother. Now I either have to nap in my chair with my feet up on the desk or go alllll the way to one of the bedrooms to do it. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no comfortable place to take a nap here at all. Fortunately, I have a conference call this afternoon. If I ever get insomnia, there's the cure.

freeflir29 0 #23 August 5, 2004 QuoteThere is no comfortable place to take a nap here at all. When I worked nights in my cube a couple years ago I used to bring in a pillow. After everyone was gone I would crawl under the desk and take a nice nap. You had to be careful though.......I had to get up once an hour or so to see if any new work tickets came into my email. Of course.......that only took a few seconds and then it was sleepy time again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #25 August 5, 2004 QuotePost your job woes here How bad is work? I'd rather be at the hospital. Okay, my wife was due to give birth two days ago. She's miserable, and so am I. Total anticipation and concern waitin for him to just come out. How does this relate to work? I work with my wife. She's downright bitter and frustrated right now, which leads to a general high edginess pervading the halls. Work sucks right now. When you'd rather be at the hospital than at work, you know work sucks... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
