Work Conversations

A typical work conversation:

Boss: Can we make this entirely black? You know, to screenprint it?
Me: Sure, but I’ll have to redraw it.
Boss: It’ll make it a lot easier to print.
Me: Not a problem, but I’ll have to redraw it.
Boss: Not to mention quicker. (walks away)
Me: So I’ll just go ahead and redraw it, shall I?

It occurs to me that I didn’t need to to be there for this conversation to take place.

Bent out of shape

I am bent out of shape (figuratively) because my car door is bent out of shape (literally). Again.

Old Job, No New Job (Yet)

I blogged a little while ago about the injustice of having to work in an old job when you know there is a new and much better job waiting for you. I know from experience that once you have made the conscious decision to leave a job, it becomes a lot harder to muster enthusiasm for your work.

I’ve made this decision recently with regard to my job and although I haven’t yet found the job I’ll be moving to, I’m now suffering from this same lack of enthusiasm. This is compounded by the fact that I’ve come to realize certain undeniable facts:

1. My co workers are, for the most part, idiots
2. I work in a really inconvenient area
3. I start work an hour before I’m actually awake enough to do any work
4. My printer causes me a lot of stress.

Amongst others…
