You know you hate your job when....

[KymberlynX]

...you'd rather pay bills than work.

[Blazing247]

I hate my job more than any job I've ever hated. It's come to the point where I take 90 minute lunches, randomly go shopping while at work, sit on the can and play cell phone games for 30 minutes at a time, and pretty much do everything EXCEPT what I'm getting paid to do. I really enjoyed my job until we got a new Manager, who is a lesbian with a chip on her shoulder for men. Our old boss was really cool, but within two weeks this lady has managed to make our entire department consider quitting.

As we speak, I am on hold for a conference call that was scheduled at 3:30. Yes, she said 3:30 and we've all been waiting patiently on the line for 43 minutes now. She is really putting a hurting on my Snood 21 score, which I should be in the bathroom playing on my cell phone right this second. What a fucktard.

Uh work is the perfect place for many things, paying bills included.

Why waste valuable personal time doing crappy things like that. And actually work pays you to do your bills thus lowering your bills to pay your bills!.. er yeah:thumbsup:

You know your boss is in a pissy mood when you walk in right on time and the first thing you notice is that she's rifled through everything on your desk just to make sure you're working on things. :-\

It's good you don't live anywhere near me, or I'd think I was your pissy boss.

Jorddyn, pissy boss, spent morning rifling

And then she had the audacity to bitch about how my desk is a mess. Well... I have the bitch (tiny) desk, and I only have 3 drawers -- which are conveniently full of HER stuff...

Wtf else am I supposed to do with all my files? They sit on my desk... or under it... :wtf:

OMG...that sounds like my desk. I have shit everywhere. I HATE filing.

I totally cleaned my office when I went on maternity leave. It only took me a couple days to have everything in a mess again. Go me! :smilegrin:

[AnticorRifling]

I straighten up my desk every night before I leave. Thursdays I actually dust everything.

[Shari]

You ever find that you'll have a perfectly fine job...and then some fucking cunt has to come in as the new manager and basically make you want to throw her into oncomming traffic?

Most places I end up leaving for a new job are a result of new management. Pity.

You know you hate your job when you work (well, did in highschool) at the frontdesk of a drycleaner, ALL BY YOURSELF, for 8 hours, with a fucked up owner/boss who doesn't allow breaks.......and you steal 5 dollars from the drawer EVERY DAY, close the store, and walk down the way to Burger King to buy lunch.

Ever actually make friends with the boss or Chairman so when management moves, you move with them and remain in the ranks and continue to build some sort of friendship?

Edited to add: I've found that while volunteering and working in medical centers, they are filled with the most demented and also friendly peoples.

Most times, the management was moving totally out of the realm of the job they were in. For me, usually was working at a restraunt when the GM would leave and someone else would come in and turn Nazi on us.

Okay...when I saw GM, it made me think of the game and I DON'T EVEN PLAY THAT MUCH ANYMORE!!! :rolleyes:

[Wezas]

I'm just tired of my boss's leaving and me getting stuck with all the crap they had to do with none of the pay. This is the second time it's happened.

[DeV]

My boss uses me as her personal therapist. :no: I'm disgruntled because I can't just tell her to fuck off. She is pretty nice when she has a pleasant demeanor, but her mood swings would make a grown man cry.

[AnticorRifling]

My boss and I play golf, poker, hang out together, hit the casinos, play video games, play KOL, etc. He's just a friend that I listen to at work. We both have an understanding of when it's time to actually work his word is law. I'm cool with that it's just like being back in the military. My LCpls and I hung out but when I put on the daddy pants they listened. He's former military too so we get along great.

Today I set up 1 laptop, loaded some software, installed a computer lock, played KOL, read the boards, and I'm sneaking out early with 2 other guys and the boss to go play some golf.

[Blazing247]

Today I worked approximately 35 minutes out of 8 hours in the office. I've mastered the art of acting busy when people walk by. If they stand there for more than 5 minutes it's hard to pull off and I usually run to the "water cooler" to escape, but other than that I'm golden. I wonder how long it will take them to realize I haven't done an ounce of work in the last two weeks. I feel like Peter Gibbons.

[Wezas]

I was playing UT2004 today with a co-worker then the big boss came by. Asking how I was doing on this certain project and then asking if he can "take a look at it". Had to do the quick alt+tab back to the spreadsheet.

He now thinks that I might need a faster computer because Excel was running so slow. :wasntme:

[Betheny]

I hate that since I"m borrowing my friend's car (and she always grabs everyone stuff to eat when she goes out for lunch), I somehow inherited that responsibility as well.

I suck at math.

So, I shortchanged everybody because they pissed me off.

[AnticorRifling]

Played 9 holes, beat the boss by one stroke. I kick ass.

You know you hate your job when....

YOU NEVER WANT TO SEE ANOTHER FUCKING FRENCH FRY IN YOUR LIFE.

[Edited on 8-18-2004 by Chadj]

wtf

[Sylphsyte]

when your car breaks down... there are 10 guys that can fix your car, 5 of them are just waiting for work to pop up, but they won't touch my car because they "don't work on cars on tuesdays and wednesday" and I have to wait 2 days for them to look at it and still find a way to get too and from work. the best part is that you work at a CAR auction...(bad day)

I know i hate my job when i get up usually.
It sucks all the time

Working for the fafsa people sucks:spaz:

[PassinBy]

I love my job, but then again its not work as you folks seem to have to do. I get to travel, meet odd people from odd places (thats you Americans, in case you were wondering), learn their strange habits (what the fuck do you mean I can't walk around the market at 4 in the morning with a beer in one hand and a fag in the other...fucking barbarians). I'd hang myself if I had to actually work for a living instead of being paid to have fun.

hat the fuck do you mean I can't walk around the market at 4 in the morning with a beer in one hand and a fag in the other..

......

[AnticorRifling]

Fag = smoke.

And they call us weird?!

[PassinBy]

Bloody right I call you folks odd, I've been playing punk for so long I need some group thats odder than myself, Americans do nicely.
