I hate that when I got home from the hospital on Wednesday evening, I had an e-mail from the assistant principal in charge of math teachers saying that from here on out I had to e-mail him my lesson plans when I was gonna be out (no big deal) and that I had to show him my plan book every Monday morning.

I am fucking sick and they start to question my abilities as a teacher.

Not once has this asshole asked me how I am doing or wished me well.

I feel like I am fighting for my job in addition to fighting to get better.

That has got to suck, Lummy. Sorry that's part of your job. Go have a beer.

Me? The part I hate is the long waiting between viable clients - and the subsequent long wait between paychecks.

I hate the God-awful, horrible, loathesome, stupid, beastial hours of my job. Thursday through Monday, 3 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

I also hate having a mentally deficient, lying assmunch for a boss.

Glass half-full: At least I have a job.
Skydiving is for cool people only

I hate having to get up @5am go to the loft, stretch,
watch the dirt dive, gear up, go to the tram, say good morning to the world famous Tom the tram driver, wait for the Otter, wave to Monk or Rick or whoever is flying, sit by the door watch the morning sun on the desert floor on our way up to altitude, see the look of concentration on the faces of my teammates as they dirt dive, at the 1 minute put my helmet on, open the door on the amber light, climbout on the green, give mental high fives to the outside people, our team leader gives the count, we all drop off, the sky dance begins.....................

I hate the stupid people.

I have stupid co-workers, who either
a)mess up and make me have to pick up their slack or
b)work so slow that I have to pick up their slack.

I meet stupid customers. People don't know
a)what they want to order
2)what their phone number or address is
third)how to stay home and listen for the door
d)how to count their change or complete a simple transaction (pizza for money - c'mon people, it's not that hard - give the money, take the pie, give the tip, say 'thank you') Some people take the pie, give the money, and just stare at me. Do I get a tip? Do you need the change back? All of it? Is there anyone in there?

People have their very small children pay me. Sometimes the kid is too small to hold the pizza. Sometimes, the kid doesn't know about tipping and winds stiffing me. Sometimes, the kid does know about tipping, and keeps the tip for themselves. Sometimes the kid is too scared to do anyting but stare at me.

People yell "Hey, pizza guy!" No shit. What gave it away? The shirt that says "Metro Pizza," or the pizza? I don't yell "Hey, moron!" at you - why do you yell "Pizza guy" at me?

You have no idea how bad I need a skydive some days.

Do I have to pick just one thing?

That I went 4 monthes without getting paid.

That I had 4 people working underneath me, and had to lay them off.

That my boss is the quintecential Pointy-Haired-Boss from Dilbert, only he's worse because he misses meetings and asks me to stall the guy as long as I can. About the PHB thing, he's literally spent over $80,000 on software I've never used. This wouldn't bug me if it wasn't for the fact that getting paid seems to be something I can't take for granted. The amount he's paid on useless software would pay off ALL our debts to current and past employees.

The paycheck.



If you hate the paycheck that much I'll take it off your hands and deal with it, OK...:)
What do I hate..... Well I can't hate the boss - I work for myself.
I'm starting to despise my current client though. I was contracted to do a risk managment and disaster recover plan and I was give a budget to implement it all. After three months work the stupid pricks decided that the budget needed to be cut back. Most of the work down the gurgler so here I sit redoing the plan listening to the AFL grand final on the radio rather than being at the game. BASTARDS...>:(>:(>:(>:(

HH we need a fucking FURIOUS icon - just plain mad doesn't cut it...

Don't hate me, but I actually love my job and my co-workers.:)
What I -do- hate is the occasional patient that swears they want to get better, but do nothing to help themselves do it. In fact, they do everything possible to make getting better impossible!>:(

Can't say I hate my job. I hate knowing that I could be doing so much more, that I'm capable of something bigger and better, and that I keep missing/losing/not seeing the opportunities to do so.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
