N8ivWarrior: Short and to the Point

And a little over the edge.

Short and to the Point

Published Tuesday, March 28, 2006 by John Burkholder | E-mail this post

I hate my job.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why is it I can look at everything else going on around me and find the magic fix, the resolution, the point. But when it comes to dealing with my own crap, I am hard pressed to see the solution. I guess it is like trying to see the forest from the trees.

I actually have contingency plans in place if I happen to lose / quit my job. I say quit because it costs less than going postal. The contingency plans aren't great and would require a large amount of belt tightening, but there are options. I am just more willing to deal with the bull than to take that step (although today was really pushing my limits).

Did you know...

An employee of the Alabama Department of Transportation installed spyware on his boss's computer and proved that the boss spent 10% of his time working (20% of time checking stocks and 70% of the time playing solitaire). The employee was fired, the boss kept his job.
