We need a new job thread for my amusement!!
Talk about your boss, your job hunt, or how you made the mistake of making your resume 'searchable' on Monster.com and are now inundated with shady offers for job interviews.
Vent about horrible deadlines, or how awesome your company's lunchroom is (ours has tator tots)
Get a job and get a beautiful red panda pic from @joe user! THE JOB THREAD!!

The worst part about my job is:
I got dressed at around 2:00pm, ordered a pan pizza for breakfast-through-dinner, and then played maybe six hours of videogames
working from home is killing me
A former roommate of mine did this.
I do not think he ever left the apartment.
Hooray for leaving job I've hated for years now
It's so hard to think about anything other than this. Can't these contract mailings wait until i'm a dad?

That kinda reminds me of a story my dad told me. He was at a concert back in the 60s/70s (forget which band) and the opening act played, then the intermission, then the house lights dimmed... And nothing.
For about an hour.
Finally the band runs out on stage and the singer apologizes profusely and explains that his wife had just gotta out of labor and he was now a father.
Anyway, now to wait for the company to call me back for either my 3rd interview or a notification of employment.
Turns out the building was fine, some kids broke in during construction and spray-painted the pace and the client freaked out like that has never happened before, just power wash the concrete that would be visible after the actual walls go up. So, and the client wined and dined me at ... KFC. But hey, free trip to southern oregon...
While im here, is there anything to do in ashland?
Three day weekend.
anyway my job is total ass
we're a shitty shop that sells shitty cheap clothing/equipment and has shitty cheap customers
shoplifting is rife and we have zero security
zero hours contract so i could get a text message letting me know that all my shifts have been cancelled and that's it
I never go crazy with it, but there's something I deeply enjoy about living off my corporate card for a week.
Corporate cards are tricky; you can buy food at an Applebee's but you can't pay a stripper's rent.
And I'm all like ...
Do you want me to network or not?
If I'm lucky that process will have somehow taken down the whole network and I actually have something to do next week...
Reading these threads over the years, I swear you are a magnet for the crappiest, skeeviest, jobs in England, the fuck is the deal with Cameron/the Tories saying the economy is getting better over there?
Wait I forgot, they just meant it's getting better for financiers...
Pants become optional at this point, right?
it's such a pain trying to charge a massage and happy ending in increments of $24, because anything over 25 needs a receipt on an expense report.
Yeah, every time you hit the ATM in the massage parlor/strip club, it charges you a ton extra.
The trick is to find a gas station near your location that only hits you up for $1.50 for every transaction; that way, you can score twenties to your heart's delight.
After that, it's only a matter of finding the right group of hoodlums to beat you up just a little bit in exchange for your company card and the PIN code.
Guys. He says Batman in a little tiny gravelly baby voice it is the cutest thing. Like baby Christian Bale.
I'm not thrilled about it.
This is a promising first line of the actual official content description of one I found
Only in a public library.
The US government once audited my travel. The result was the government deducted $0.27 from my paycheck because I was at a hotel above the per diem. I almost made them pay the room tax on the hotel costs above the per diem.
Can't believe I was off for two weeks not long ago. Feels like I have been in every day for the entire history of the universe.
part of it was spelling
I had to choose between "coolly" and "cooly"
and I picked the first one
then made a note that read "I feel I should point out that both of these are correct, though it seems more likely you're looking for the adverb rather than an out-of-favor 19th century term for a Chinese porter."
Not get your kids vaccinated?

That happened.
Then I opened a giant beer.
both are accepted

Well really neither are "accepted."
My boss noticed my frustration at the end of the day and asked what was bugging me. He revealed to me that he was actually quite the introvert, that all the pushing and fast talk and joking around was an act he puts on at work. Gave me some pointers on how to become an actor, hoping this could be an angle to help me out.
Being a salesman is... kinda ridiculous
