Blah!

I came home from work last night and realized how much I hate my job. Yes, I know, I have a job so I should shut up and stop whining. But this place sucks the life out of you. Go,go,go. No appreciation, longer hours, by the way, we are cutting your wage....again, and never a positive word. Is it that difficult to pat an employee on the back when they do something right? The harsh words never seem to be a problem to come spewing out like venom, beating you down and making you feel like and insignificant child. No, this isn't the "February Blahs" coming through. Truth be told, I'm ok with the weather and time of year. Hell this isn't February weather anyway. Snow's melting everywhere but the 'goat's way'.
Anyway, I digress. I need my new business to take off so Amy and I can leave our J-O-B's (just over-broke) and do something that will give us what we long for.....what I think we all long for. A little bit more time for us through the week. Time for us to be together, to be with the lovely girls, to sit and appreciate friends, family and all the things that get missed in this amped up dog eat dog society of employment where employers only expect one pace from you. Faster. And more of it.

Crap. I really hate my job.



Thank you followers for tolerating the latest ridiculous rant from Blobber Bog.

I hear you, Calvin. I've worked at places like that. Cooter still does. For however long they're going to be around, anyway. Somewhere along the way, we've all got caught up in the race - all this shit that we keep buying 'cause we're told we need it - and then we have to work like dogs to pay for it. And then there's no time to enjoy any of it. We've lost our way. Truth be told, the recession (depression?) might bring things back around.

I'm lucky. At work we're treated really well. Hopefully you guys find that too.

Yes, this whole work ethic is a one way street nowadays.

They cut the job from 2 people to 1, then expect you to work overtime (for free) to get the work done.

And what do they do for us? They let us go when they want to shave $30K from their payroll, meanwhile the big whig gets $17 million and perks...I'm actually talking about something other than NASCAR..I'm talking about MLB. 30 office employees of MLB got let go, and the president of the MLB gets $17million? Did I hear this right? If, the president got only 16 million, these employees would still have a job.

Which is better 1 person employed or 30?

Hmm....

I hate greedy people. They are of no use to this world. None whatsoever.

There, I ranted too.
