So, I found this article on CNN.com. I surf there once or twice or a dozen times during the day to fight the feeling that maybe running screaming into the street might be a little better than living through another ten seconds of actual work.
The article is about 10 signs it is time to quit your job. While I feel that perhaps the article advocates quitting for less than four star reasons, I added them up Friday and came up with 6 that describe my mindset perfectly. If I had longer to go before I plan (Plan B, that is) to cut back hours, I might work harder about getting the hell out of there a little quicker. I love my job, I just don’t love my employer.
It just occurred to me that perhaps New-, Old-, Big- or Big-Big Boss is the one who Googled my first name, my husband’s first name, our last name and the state we live in. If so,
1) Fuck you.
2) Give me a decent raise
3) And my 401k match
4) And fire my boss. Unless you are my boss, in which case, quit.
5) And give me a printer that actually will permit me to cut all the checks at the same time. This 200 checks at a go stuff sucks. Not giving me the necessary tools to do my job is just unconscionable.
6) And I was kidding about the # of times I go to CNN.com. If you add up the # of times I go to CNN with the # of times I go to the website for the Cheesecake City Daily News, then maybe we’re around a dozen.
7) If by “around” you mean about eleventy billion.
