| Living Hell |
I was planning on actually having a bedazled, Christmas decked out blog, but alas I have not been in the mood. The thing I chose not to blog about anymore, and my three readers know what I'm talking about has taken a turn for the worse, bad to the point I wonder if I will have somewhere to get up and go to in the morning. I am just trying to hold on, so we'll see what happens. I had to let out a little frustration on here or I might implode.
I also plan on cleaning up my blog roll. Not that anyone cares, but there are at least 10 bloggers on there whose pages don't even exist anymore, High Desert Diva, one of my favorites being one of them. I plan on putting out an APB for those bloggers when I get a chance. I feel a little sad that they're just gone and I didn't get a chance to bid farewell or a least know in advance that they weren't going to blog anymore.
Even though I don't blog as much as I used too, I still plan on blogging for a long time before I give it up. I like stopping by and making posts and visiting my regulars, and it's nice, for those few minutes that I can get outside of my life for a while. I sure as hell hope 2008 has something good in store for me. I need it with a vengeance. I have been doing some things and I hope soon I will be able to have good news to post. When all is said and done I will post a open, raw, cathartic post about it all and the many lessons I've learned. So, until then...
Hope everyone is staying warm! I might not be back for a while, my mind just can't calm down right now and I have to focus on other things, so if you haven't heard from me in days or weeks, I'm alive and around. I just need to deal with my current situation before I can relax.
be seeing youLabels: blogging, christmas, job, work |

| And a *?%$#% Merry Christmas to you too |
I frequently visit why are you stalking me? and recently she decided not to blog about work anymore, for whatever reason (though, obviously, she doesn't want to get found out and fired)
I often blog about work, and finding OTHER work, so I think I will take heed from her and follow in her footsteps. I won't blog anymore about my job hunt, or how much I hate my job (well, as much anymore) and I will try and be as discreet as possible, just on the off chance I'm found out. I used my real name to create this blog and I still have stuff out there on the internet under my real name like Fan Fiction (Yes, I'm a geek, what of it!??!) and much, mucy Buffy related obsessions, including my website, which I can't edit because I don't remember my password.
But I digress.
I'll make this my last post into the world of my circus, er, office craziness. Today a secretary got fired after being there about three weeks for making some racially motivated remarks. She's white and said something about black folks, and one of the girls got mad and told the office manager. She made ANOTHER COMMENT IN THE SAME DAY! and by 4:45 pm she was gone, not without a scene either.
She almost spit on the floor on the way out, almost taking our glass doors with her. Our office is never without insanity. I have to say it was actually a pretty good day. It went by fast and I spend most, if not all, of the day gossiping, laughing, talking and joking. Yes, work actually got done in there too, but all in all it was a great Friday. (not to self: keep this up)
I'm looking forward to my upcoming days off. Can't wait! I'm so tired now and am now updating my ipod, I'm so sick of those same songs.
I just bought I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. I was supposed to read this years ago, I mean something like 3 or 4 years ago and I can't remember if I couldn't find the book or was just too cheap to buy it. Actually, I don't remember finding it. At any rate, I'm sorta pissed that there is a movie now and now I'm reading the book. I didn't want to be one of "those" people who run out and buy the companion book to the movie, but alas I am. Hmph!
I'm still mad.
Anyway, it is something like 12:08 a.m. here and today wore me out. I will see you guys sometime this weekend, I'll drop by and poke my head in. Hope you're all doing well. Oh, and if you're wondering about the blog title, it was something the lady who was fired today probably would have said. I can't believe that happend, and right before Christmas. Man. *shakes head* Oh well.
Must go now. Getting tired.
Night, night!Labels: movies, weekend, work |

| Just Poppin' In |
For my three blog readers, I've been MIA because I have been AGGRESSIVELY tackling the job search market. Seriously, I'm looking like I don't already have a job. I want OUT!
I'll probably pop back in during the weekend, but I've been really tired and a bit depressed, so I'll get back when I can. I hope everyone is okay. Enjoy the upcoming weekend. See you soon!Labels: weekend, work |

| My life sucks, how's yours? |
Okay, I may be a tad pessimistic with my blog title (well, maybe not), but I'm trying to remember that I have decided not to let work bother me because I have started up my new Operation, much like the operation of a good friend Ennui and her task of graduating from Grad School titled OGOOD "Operation Gettin' Out Of Dodge"
Mine is slightly different and a lot more vulgar, titled GTFO "Get The Fuck Out" I have made one mistake too many there and now the lawyers want to review their work. This is not only demeaning, but a pain in the ass and I have decided that the pay and the position is not worth the stress and bleakness I feel when I walk in there.
This "reviewing" may go on indefinitely and I just don't care enough to stick around anymore to find out. I'm shooting to be gone by Christmas, but at the very least I WANT to be gone by the end of Jan '08. I officially and absolutely want OUT.
Hang in there with me. This may just be Mission Impossible. Heh.
**********
In TV news I'm waiting for several of my fav shows to come back, but not waiting on many new ones. I'll see which new ones I want to watch later. But now I'm eager to see these return:
Smallville
Supernatural
The Simpsons
Lost (Not until Feb!!!!)
ER
CSI
Prison Break (WTF is going on?)
We shall see how this new TV season goes.Labels: GTFO, tv, work |

| Monday Again? |
The weekend is gone. It went by in a flash, but at least I did accomplish the cleaning of my bedroom and some slight organization. I am not looking forward to the work week. I need another vacation...bad.
I'm in a bit of a panic. I have a problem with my big toes. WARNING: YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE TO HEAR THE NEXT PART.
I think it might be a toenail fungus--or maybe an ingrown toe nail. Actually, I don't know what is going on. I cancelled a recent doctor's appointment and got another one but it's all the way in September and I'm hoping that won't be too late.
The toenail on my big toe looks like it's gradually working itself away from the nail bed and is also (or either) curving in a way that looks like it's growing into my toe. Grossed out? I know I am. I put some Tea Tree oil on it and I hope that will help.
Sorry to creep you out, I'm creeped out myself. It was hurting this morning, but now the pain is gone. I think it might be due to too tight shoes. I don't know how this can correct itself. I'm hoping to get a referral to a Podiatrist.
Yeah, this is all I need for Monday. You know, when I look at episoes of "Lost" I I'd rather take my chances on The Island (even more if Jack and Sawyer are there) than go to work. That's right. I'd rather be lost on an Island--with creatures and The Others than go to my job. That's saying something, ain't it? lol
Since I'm on this subject, for my two readers now (where is everybody?) Tell me what TV situation you'd rather live other than your current situation (if you'd like to get out of that situation)
C'mon, it'll be fun. I promise! ;) Have a great week!Labels: lost, monday, toenail, work |

| I. HATE. MY. JOB |
Okay, you all already know that (referring to post title) but I just need to vent tonight. Today things were going good, and then there was a case that was closed, but in my flurry of damn papers on my desk, and in a haste to close up some loose ends of memos, not to mention the fact that I didn't notice that the case was closed, I sent an email about a trial to the client, and, of course, and like last time, she got all pissy and had to email the head of the firm.
This is not the first time, which is the problem. Things to down a fuck tube in a hurry when they CC the goddam Managing attorney, because now he has to deal with it and he has to respond to the client, and blah, and believe me he doesn't want to have to hear from any clients.
I think I email at least 300 damn memos a day and besides doing everything else, mistakes happen. I'm not trying to point fingers, but mistakes happen, but I'm actually sick of it. I'm tired of them emailing him and then I have to apologize. That fucking makes me sick, I hate having to grovel and be all "I'm sorry" because they just can tell it to me and me only, they have to involve him.
I am only trying to hold on for a couple more months at this place just to have been there a year, and I want to be able to invest in my 401(k). That is all I want. I do not plan on retiring there.
I am worried because this is not the first time, and I doubt it will be the last. I hate it and I don't know what he's going to say tommorow. I don't know what he told the office manager because she was all 'you better go in there and apologize and talk to him' That was a bad sign, that means he was really upset.
I don't know if I'm going to have a job after tommorow.
Well, at least I'll be able to sleep in. Okay, I have to use some humor. I feel sort of sick right now. I know it's not the end of my life, but I just hate that with ALL I do is emailing clients, there is certainty that some shit like this will happen again.
I hate the feeling of having to answer to this shit tommorrow. I can't wait until I can't waith to get the fuck up out of there. Can you believe I wished for a major accident so I wouldn't have to go in tommorrow? I hate that, I really, really do.Labels: anger, stress, work |

| Happy Easter! |
I don't know what you guys are doing this weekend, but I plan on sleeping. LOL. Seriously, I haven't gotten nearly enough sleep this week. They're letting us out of prison early (prison=work). We can leave at 1pm tommorow for Good Friday, thank God!
I'm going to run out of the building screaming. I don't have much to say, actually, I'm too tired to blog about anything anyway. I don't know if I'll drag myself back here over the weekend, so I'm telling you know to have a nice weekend and a nice Easter. Monday will be here soon enough, enjoy yourselves! I'm gonna try like hell.
In the meantime, here's some links I have for you (Too funny) from Acceptable TV:
Mr. Sprinkles
Mr. Sprinkles 2
Need a Soprano fix? on youtube there's a video that reminds you who go whacked, who got pissed, who got doublecrossed and just who's who. Should prove useful for Soprano's fans.

| Friday can't come fast enough |
I know some people don't blog about work, but it's one of the ways I cope with my job. Believe it or not, I've been sort of liking the last week or two, haven't had any major mishaps, I've been getting through the week alright. Hell, I was going to say today was a great day.
But then the shit hit the fan at freaking 4:45 pm. Yes, that close to going home and I email some client the wrong shit. Well, one of those bitchy, cock sucking, shit eating clients emails me back all pissed and cc's (sends the email to someone else at the time) one of the managing attorney's. So, he calls the office manager all angry and says 'this is unacceptable, something has to be done' yadda, yadda, yadda. One of the worse things is that he has to tell the OM (office manager) "If you need me to get involved, let me know, but I doubt that needs to happen" (???) I hated that shit the most.
Basically, I just hated the fact he made it seem like it was the worse thing to happen in the history of the firm, and I don't like the idea of him saying if he needs to get involved and all that shit. THEN that fucking BITCH also calls and leaves a message about how I sent her the wrong email and that if I'm doing that then she's worried about who's getting her emails. BITCH, NO ONE! It was a fucking accident, assmunch.
I didn't think it was neccessary that she cc the attorney. I had another bitch cc an attorney and he had to come to my desk and look all annoyed asking me about the email. I mean, this cunt acted like I ran over her kids after shooting her dog. Jesus. I tried to brush it off, but ended up crying in the bathroom with a friend/co-worker talking with me/consoling.
It pissed me off because you always have to suck up to these bitchy ass clients, and it's that fuckin' 'the customer is always right' shit you have to put up with. And then that asshole says on the voicemail "I don't know what you have to do internally' I mean, damn was it really that serious? I know it was a mistake, but I guess she never made a fucking mistake in her ENTIRE SHITTY LIFE.
Yes, I know to be careful, this was a mistake. Honestly, I should have left it to do tomorrow instead of trying to hurry and get it done today. I have sent emails to clients before with mistakes and they have said something ONLY to me and I apologized and sent the right one. All she had to do was email me and say it was the wrong one. I didn't like all her added comments like drastic measures need to be taken.
I don't like this shitty job, but I'm not totally prepared to be fired either, and I didn't like how she tried to make it like this was the most unmistakable thing that could happen in the history of life and something should be done. Because when they bitch, then the attorney flips out and it's a whole thing when it doesn't have to be.
I get a lot of clients who are nice about mistakes, hell, even putting little smiley faces in the email saying 'that's okay' but this cocksucker... I hope she fucking chokes on a bone.
Well, that's all I have to say about that.Labels: work |
