Just when I think I've landed a job devoid of the normal office shit, "What's your schedule today?"

"Uh, I'll certainly be here till after five, probably six."

"Good, some potential shareholders are coming by later today, so we're trying to get as many people as we can to stay and look busy."

"Uh, ok."

Son-of-a-bitch bastard. I'm thinking of taking a break at 1:30, drinking heavily, coming back, & passing out on my desk right as they get here.

One day, I'm gonna throw an Office Space drinking party & get a group of IT folk there. If any of the shyte you see in the flick has happened to in the past week, take a drink. If it happened in the past 24 hours, chug. Last man standing wins.

"Uh, yeah, I'm going to need you to move your things again. So, if you could just move your desk down to Storage Area B, that'd be great. (notices stapler) Oh, uh, yeah, just let me..." (grabs stapler)

They're making me move at work again.

I LIKE my cubical. I don't WANT to move to the corner office with the big window and the huge desk.

I've officially reached a new low at work. Normally, I just code tools & apps to sort thru a massive database so admins, rep, & clients can glean useful info. Shit's gotten so slow recently, I'm now designing tools & apps for my tools & apps.

Better still. The boss has hired his son's friend as my partner techie/code monkey. This could be bad.

& guess who just got a shiny new computer shipped to him on his very first day, designed to specs he gave last week before he started...

mbilderback · Post by **mbilderback** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 1:37 pm

You? Oh, wait, you didn't get hired within the last week, did you?

I'm also guessing this went in over the CTO's head, probably by the CEO. Goddamnit, this job is becoming less spectacular over time.

As with any job.

I've got a hundred business ideas, just no one will give business loans to you unless you're a woman or a minority. Preferably both.

My wife is both of those.
