bunglehead Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Is it just me, or does any other human out there feel like driving their manager/boss to a remote spot, torturing them for several days, finally killing them? Or is it just me? Here's a handy poll to help solve this age old dilemma. How does work and you co-workers make you feel? Quote
Jim Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Wow that's depressing. Get a job you like already. Quote
DPS Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 The people I work with are great. I run and climb with my boss, one collague went to K2 with Alex Lowe and Steve Swenson, another fellow has climbed literally all over the world, another guy won the Seattle Marathon. Everyone backcountry skis, sails, scuba dives, trail runs, does triathalons or some such activity. Plus they all have Ph.Ds. Quote
gotterdamerung Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 My boss is a dick...oh wait I'm my own boss. Quote

bunglehead Posted September 17, 2004 Author Posted September 17, 2004 Wow. You guys are all pretty lucky. Quote
bDubyaH Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 guess i'm lucky as well, was just in china climbing and was looking forward to coming back to work. actually started working up a proposal for a new project while i was out in the mountains. plus we are going to have a company tele race team, or at least we are going to drink beers after we ski a gated course (poorly)! and everyone in my office is for the left so we have some great republican bashing daily to keep our spirits up Quote
bunglehead Posted September 17, 2004 Author Posted September 17, 2004 Alright, one of yous guys has to offer me a job. Pretty please? Quote
bDubyaH Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 we have a couple short term openings right now, got any biology experience? feel like hanging out in anchorage until the end of the year. oh yeah it's outside spotting beluga whales for good pay. they're you are, a job offer Quote
bunglehead Posted September 17, 2004 Author Posted September 17, 2004 Physics. No Biology. But thanks for the beta!! Quote
bDubyaH Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 physics would probably work, all you do is count the damn things anyway...oh and the chugach ice is already coming in. muuhahahahaha Quote
Stemalot Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 my boss is cool...our work is project oriented, so we take as much time off as we can. long weekends are normal too. that's the saddest poll I've seen in a while. Quote
minx Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 how much money to count belugas? i passed the 4th grade and have biology experience and my cube is closing in on me.......... Quote
bDubyaH Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 $20/hr...no cubes involved, only spotting scopes and an occasional encounter with a moose or maybe even a bear, with occassional boat rides thrown in as well. oh and i'm looking for roomates as well, Quote
minx Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 damn not quite enough to get me to alaska but sounds like a cool gig. Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Don't worry, bunglehead, you're not the only one with a lame job. I'm thinking I might as well be counting belugas.... Quote
Dru Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 The frustration caused by prolonged imprisonment in small cages forces animals to adopt psychotic behavior such as eating their own excrement. Quote
Squid Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 ....stupid monkey.. ...wait ....that's me! Quote
glacier Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Yup. Poo-flinging cube monkey... On the other hand - this guy is my new cube folk hero - Office Space Meets Matrix - 'There is no stapler...' Quote
bunglehead Posted September 18, 2004 Author Posted September 18, 2004 Don't worry, bunglehead, you're not the only one with a lame job. I'm thinking I might as well be counting belugas.... The bitch is that I like what I do. I just wish my boss wasn't such a tyrannical fuck that micromanages the shit out of everything and plays favorites. I knew from a very young age that not being a kiss ass would be a hard road to walk. Some of the people I work with are so far up my boss's ass I'm surprised he can take a shit. It's disgusting to see people with no backbone slithering around his chair like he's some kind of god. It's positively repellant. They're always bitching at their wives and lecturing their kids over the phone. Again, reppellant. And I'm sick of hearing about how viewing porn fucked up his computer at home and his non stop commentary on gay marriage and the general state of women; I won't even get into his making reservations for lunch at the STRIP CLUB. It's like fucking high school. Stop making comments on every woman that walks by, quit spraying your anti semitic bullshit, quit arguing with your wife over the phone, and for the love of god shut your fucking mouth about your political beliefs at work. Go home and get laid or take a day off to go shoot all your guns you talk so much about. Do something but for the love of god, LET ME DO MY FUCKING JOB IN PEACE. I feel a little better now. Quote
gotterdamerung Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Here's my cube sucker... Need RealTime. A day at the office Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 Suckers..I have a corner office with 2 windows on the 2nd floor of our 2 stroy building. Quote
