This Real Job RSS

A blog about a job. A real job. Not one of those fancy jobs where people are happy. Not one of those fancy jobs that people like. This is an office job. A generic office job where no one matters and no one cares.

That is a real Quote

Cry for me please. Cry for me and give me strength so I do not go insane listening to Melissa talk. I want to rip my ears off. Odama?! How can you not know our President’s name?! She must be a Republican.

I think America is… like… doing so good. We have… like… totally elected the first Arab man to the throne. And he is totally related to Saddam Hussein. I think we are … like… the most open minded country ever! Go Odama Hussein.

Jaywalking Ticket?

I saw the police stop a kid walking to school today. The police then proceeded to give him a ticket for jaywalking. I couldn’t help but laugh at the kid’s misfortune. A Jaywalking ticket! The kid couldn’t have been older than 12, haha. My day of status update meetings and mindless keystrokes seems almost blissful in comparison.

Inauguration: America, Friend of all People

Obama has the power of oration. I always like hearing him speak. The Poet who spoke after Obama has significantly less skill in oration. Painfully less skill.

Obama mentioned that America is a friend of all people and all nations. I found that to be quite interesting because I have witnessed many people in America who hate most Americans.

Obama has a HUGE mountain to overcome. I think he has the capability to do it, and I am excited to be a part of what happens next.

Internet Blocking

Sorry for the lack of posts, my company decided to block my blog. I have no idea why, it isn’t like this site is getting any hits. The handful of people that visit are mostly from other countries!

I had to call in a favor with one of the IT guys to get my site on the safe list. It almost seems like a waste. It still confuses me how some people can surf porn at work while I can’t even post relevant work related writing on the internets. The irony of the world never ceases to amaze me.

Status Update Meetings, WTF

I am now part of a recurring weekly status update meeting for a project I am working on. The first meeting was to go over what the meetings were and how they were going to function moving forward. The second meeting was a 45 minute recap of the first meeting and then a 5 min update on what actually happened in the week. Then we ended 10 minutes early so everyone could get to their next status update meeting without being late. Just so you all know, there was a serious lack of status updating at this meeting.

This is going to be the biggest waste of time in the world. My brain has already blocked this recurring meeting. I will go in body, never in mind.

Job Opening?

One of my good friends, let’s call him Steve in the spirit of anonyminity, just quit his job. Frankly, I didn’t think his job sounded too bad. His new job sounds great though! I am going to talk to him about getting myself a new job.

I HATE new years resolutions, but I think I am going to give myself a goal for this newest of years. I will get a new job before Spring time. A new job to usher in a fresh season. A fresh start at a fresh job in a fresh season. Sounds wonderful.

Christmas Holidays

I am back. Spending so long away from work gave me some good perspective about work and life.

Why am I working at a job I dislike? For the extra money they magically decided to pay me? No, because I am a pansy who is trying to take the easy way out. I am going to find a new job. I think I am going to start going to visit my friends who have great jobs.

Why am I so worried about how things are going with Ashley? She doesn’t work with me anymore. So what, I can still talk to her and try to grow a personal relationship that will make us both happy.
