mtn_mouse Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 My job is so meaningless. Snafflehounds work for themselves. Quote

EWolfe Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I wrote a poem about this a few years back. From my collection "Ravings Of A Coastal Madman" Mind On A Train Spontaneous and free for years, it seems Coming back into the mundane: workaday, slave away Put my mind on a train. Carry it down the line to places far away While the body works, the mind will play. In the groove of daily grind freedom left far behind Pay the bills, save and dream for things that fulfill In here looking out, mind on a train. Mind on a train the ticket's one way find the means hold the hope Join it someday. Quote
jstone Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 well I just got soaked to the ass forming for concrete, which I HATE... I want a finishing job where I can drink coffee and walk around in fuzzy socks all day. That's what I do, and I don't get to wear fuzzy socks. Just white-soled, non-marking shoes. But the coffee and indoor work IS nice. I had to do carpentry for 15 years to get there, though. And I have to deal with clients. yeah, I did that last winter, and loved it, I even got to wear fuzzy socks,but circumstances are such that Im outside for this job. And yes it could always be worse. I think I'll have a beer, see things are lookin' better already Quote
RoastyJones Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 You could be driving a shit-vaccuum truck. DON'T DRINK THE BLUE KOOL-AIDE!!!!! Quote
Dechristo Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 You could be driving a shit-vaccuum truck. That'd really suck ass. Quote
chirp Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I make proprietary coffee beverages and get 401k, stock options, free beans, and medical as well as the ability to chat and be a gooberhead all day long. I get grumpy at times but all in all its ok and has been for 17 years. Quote
Dechristo Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Please, hook me up, right now, with a venti, whole milk, three-pump, white chocolate mocha. Quote
chirp Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Ok I inserted the WM into the CD drive and I hope it is on its way to you. The machine made a few odd sounds but it looks like its all inside and connecting to the Internet Super hiway direct to you! BTW I inserted a new lowfat Marble coffeecake as well, thos are mighty tasty and Ben Moon© approved! Quote
Dechristo Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for tryin', Chirp, but it all arrived at my location as an incomprehensible mess of data causing me to mutter, "Fuck...this is so meaningless..." Quote
snugtop Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I am beginning to wonder if when I leave this job should I burn all my bridges so that I am forced never to return to computer work again? Computer related work is like crack. You quit again and again and you just keep going back. I need to do something drastic this time. I have the exact same thought on a daily basis. Quote
minx Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 i for one, would like to thank you computer types for keeping me in newer, faster, fancier, more complex programs to make my job easier. i hated my job, really hated it. i found a new job in the same industry that has meaning and i'm much happier but i didn't have to change careers... although i might some day.

cj001f Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 i found a new job in the same industry that has meaning and i'm much happier but i didn't have to change careers Are those denial tablets perscription or OTC? How much for a dozen? Quote

How much for a dozen? just drinking more but i was attributing that to the non-stop rain. seriously, it didn't take a career change, it took a new environment and working for someplace with a better focus than my last job. maybe people shouldn't expect to be satisfied with the same job for decades?

cj001f Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 maybe people shouldn't expect to be satisfied with the same job for decades? uh oh that sounds dangerously like personal growth Quote
roboboy Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 and you thought that your job sucked... Quote
roboboy Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 and today I would rather just go home... Quote
archenemy Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I hate my job too. But I like to eat, and sleep indoors sometimes, and I don't want to work at the Plaid Pantry. What're you going to do? I think too many people use this excuse to stay in a job they hate. I dont know what I am going to do, but its not this anymore. Teaching probably. So far the only jobs I have really enjoyed have been teaching jobs. Although working at the Plaid Pantry pays more than teaching, it is not nearly as rewarding... You know that you can work as an adjunct teacher/professor/instructor at a number of educational institutions. I do that occasionally (teach evening classes so I keep my "real" job) for fun. It is very satisfying, and it tends to reignite the passion you have about the subject you are teaching. For me, teaching is a great hobby. And, it gives me HUGE respect for real teachers. Quote
Alasdair Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 and today I would rather just go home... Nerd humor... I used to find this mildly funny, now I find it pathetic and wastefull. Just another sign that I hate corprate america. Quote
archenemy Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Either that or you are just losing your sense of humor. Hang in there, after a while you'll get so jaded you won't repond to pics like that at all... Quote

Yea, but I came to a realization I will have a paycut a year ago, and luck would have it that I think I could absorb the pay cut. It will hurt real bad, but I dont think I will have to sell the house. I just need a bit more inflation and then my mortgage wont seem that bad. Quote

Alasdair Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Chemistry is the goal. There is nothing like poluting young minds with the knowlege they need to blow shit up in more interesting ways. Quote
