Anyone else got a SHIT job?

[Paulie Walnuts]

It's not even shit in terms of the function or the environment. It's a middle management job, reasonable salary etc. etc.

But I work with some real fucking idiots, arse lickers, up-their-own-arse twats!

The Wire got the subject of different institutions so right!

Anyone else feel the same?

Now I'm gonna sound like the old bastard I am but these days your lucky to have a job.

Okay, vent on me.  ;)

[Penny Lane]

agreed. i hate my job but glad to have one. I find nothing interesting about it. i'm just glad that once they pile on the work, they leave me alone. most of the good internet sites are blocked here, too. thank god for the power of flirtation, or i could not get our IT guy to unblock this site. also even though i hate the job, i love my co-workers. i'm the only white person amongst all black and hispanic women. they call me miss ohio and cornbread and they laugh at most everything i say or do. (lol) tangent. so i guess moral of the story, find the good in every shit job :-)

I HAD a shit job, my boss nearly pushed me over the edge, stress wise. I literally had a physical reaction every time I walked into the office.

I loved it to begin with, lots of responsibility, even though I was young when I joined the company, and got along with pretty much everyone. However, 18mths later they did a restructure and I was given a new boss. The bitch took all of my high level responsibilities and gave them to someone else because I was a "junior" (ie. the youngest in the company, thus a pleb) and I was left unpacking paper in the copy room/setting up for staff drinks my last 6 months.

I told them to shove it almost a year ago and it still feels good when I think about it!

The only problem is that my new job is in the same building, only a few floors apart (completely different company/industry.. just a freak coincidence!) so I still see them everyday.

Loving my job now, I'm involved with a lot of projects, manage my own workload and my boss is a champ.

Moral of my story - If you are really unhappy and can quit your job (unfortunately not an option for a lot of people at the moment) then do it. Life's too short to be miserable.

Niiice.

Yeah, previous position was horrible and there are a few here who may remember how bad some of my posts where about 2 years or so ago. Currently position is marginally better. Like you Penny, they pile on work and leave me be, thankfully. Since I do not have to work with our sales and marketing groups nearly as much, I can sit, listen to the ole ipod and work. Hell, when some reports are running, I can squeeze in internet time. Up until a couple weeks ago, couldn't stand the people I work with and sit near. Different political spectrum and they are loud about it plus they're a bunch of bigots (you know the ones who said the refuse to ride our Metrolink because those people ride them). Thankfully a couple friends from my old department transferred over.

Indeed,the need for money for that purple stuff starts at a young age. Soon you'll find it will take up all your time and all your money.
Chances are you will get a funny name and spend time dancing and flailing about like some kind of Banshee,consumed with the Devil and his peanut butter!

There's the thing about that spanish guy, his eyes, he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he shoots that air gun into ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin' and you say you don't have to do this and he flips a coin, and anyway we delivered the bomb.


Back to the topic at hand, my job used to be a shit job, I would seriously have stomach pains going to work, and I'd flinch when the phone rang. I was wearing every hat in the place - software developer, tech support, training, trade shows, the works, for about 2 years. When somebody had a problem (which was about every half hour), I couldn't hand them off to anybody, I was the guy and had to make the fix with the customer on the phone screaming in my ear that they have a truck on the scales ready to go to the field and they can't figure out how to export a file cuz they can't find the 'Any' key. I wouldn't have lasted long if we weren't able to start hiring people soon after.

I keep threatening to quit my job - and then my husband volunteers to go over to the Sear's dumpster and get a refrigerator box so that we'll have a place to live afterwards....underneath the freeway overpass.
