random work thoughts..

Work is giving me stress. Two of my assigned clients are such a pain. They are so particular and demanding. I get this email from one of the managers asking me or my supervisor to call the client tomorrow. They want to make changes to my work product that I produced over 3 weeks ago. Which means this month's work product will be delayed. Thanks but no thanks. Email is much better.

I really need to find a new job. I can handle coworkers for the most part. I can't deal with clients/customers. Shouldn't have all this stress for such a low-paying job. Should be making $80,000+ to deal with this crap.

New coworkers are nice

It really helps to know the surface roads of any area you're in, just in case you have to run from the cops and don't want them to trap you on the freeway.

I keep getting artistic inspiration while I have no pencils nearby.

Ugh, the struggle is real.

Actual email from someone inquiring about my services...

Do you only do business via web forms and day later emails and tweets and YouTube comments or am I allowed to actually talk to you ?

I am a little confused (and old school business) by the "fill out this form, telling us about your company" and we'll get back to you, and not being able to talk to someone about it. If I have to mine out your costs etc. and communicate back and forth via only emails/texts.......I'll move on and find someone else.

So I told him to find someone else.

Leverage is great. I love being in a position to tell people with attitude problems to shove it. 3 years ago I would've had to deal with this crap. Not any more.

My hair is so wild, just one more day of work though phew. I hope I can manage it before I get it cut this weekend.

i got to swap out hard drives on 2 laptops today weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I need to find a a higher paying more steady job that I can manage and get to reasonably...I don’t want to job hunt though

Coworker said one of the supervisors told her to say yes sir....hmmmmmk.

Morale is pretyy much at rock bottom at my workplace right now. My workload is so light and about to get lighter that days there just drag on and on. It is so bad that the other day during lunch I was on my phone looking at job openings.

I'm in consideration for a new job but it involves quite a lot of involvement in setting up a new company. I'm in two minds though as to whether i have the drive or can cope with such a step into the unknown. Still I'm unemployed in two months time and there aren't many other alternatives right now.

That has happened to me in my current job. Is that how the company operates? Being overstaffed or will they be getting rid of someone?

I understand that most people probably take way more than they need in terms of ketchup packets, but come on. McDonald's franchises are the worst, being so hard up now that they avoid giving you even one. They push a bag of crappy food out the window and say "thankyouhaveaniceday" so you hopefully forget or feel too intimidated to ask for anything. Remember the good old days when they'd just throw a handful of ketchup packets in there?

"Yeah. I guess two is enough. Thanks."

Or you have an order for 40 chicken nuggets and they only give you one bbq sauce. :um Can't the high price of this low quality "food" cover the cost for a few extra tubs of synthetic bbq sauce??? You pay the same price for a real burger at a real restaurant and they give you a whole damn bottle of ketchup to use for your meal. What the hell is going on in this world, man. :bash

The company is just run so poorly from top to bottom. A few weeks ago we had a huge snowstorm here and te company made people either take time off with no pay or use vacation time. I chose no pay as I am not wasting a vacation day on that. Every other company I have worked for has paid us for snow days without question. There are no incentives, no rewards and management doesn't do anything special hardly ever. A longtime employee had her last day on Friday and the company said or did nothing! Feel bad as she was one of the few upbeat people there.

Right now, my area is being battered by very high winds. Lots and lots of power outages around town. I bet if the power is out at my office that they will make us go in anyway.

My company did the same thing. There were 4-5 days where coming to work by car was quite dangerous due to snow and ice. Some people worked remotely but not all positions/roles allow for that. Many people had to use their PTO (vacation days).

Work is going to be awkward now after an incident that happened on Sunday (thankfully I wasn't there). Glad that I have vacation starting after this Friday.

Got ink on my jacket...ugh.

Each day my apathy towards my job grows more. Today is especially bad..not feeling great today due to a migrane, it is gray, gloomy and snowing here...again. I just don’t care because there is no incentive for me to do my job at this point.

Some people seriously shouldn't be allowed to have jobs the way they act towards coworkers.
Fcvking power trippers.
