fuck a fuckin job anyway that has me working on shit this late, hammered as I am, somebody ought to pay me to brew beer instead, that way my brain wouldn't hurt alla goddamn time, but I'd probably grow to hate that too, so in conclusion, Microsoft sucks.

I spent all day stressing hard about applying for jobs, for some reason. I've been doing OK with it lately but today I just could not handle it. I did manage to go to one place and ask if they were hiring (nope), but I still need to apply/ask at at least one more place by tomorrow night, and I just don't even wanna think about it.

boss drove me home after a bit of a booze-up at work last night & told me, after I confessed to sometimes feeling a little paranoid about job security, that I'm basically the least likely person at the company to ever be let go, that probably some of the partners would be gone before I would.  Nice thing to hear.  I don't know why I even said that since I'm not a very insecure person but still, sometimes even in the best of working environments (and I love my job and the people I work with) you get a weird feeling, you know?  Anyway, ego stroked, feeling on top of things again.

Man, that's awesome. My boss has been alternately ripping me a new one and dousing me in hyperbolic praise lately, and it's getting disorienting.

Here's a cool, short profile of our company that Reuters did a few weeks ago: http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=36587791

That's our warehouse in Hunts Point

I interviewed at an Office Max yesterday. I originally applied in the middle of October. I'm amazed they still had my application on file. But whatever, if they offer me a job, I'm gonna take it.

these people gotta get their shit together, one of my bosses sent me an e-mail yesterday asking me for an ETA on something he'd said he would do back in September and hadn't mentioned to me since then.  Then it turned out he'd actually done it and forgotten.  Then it turned out he was really asking me for an ETA on a related task that nobody had actually asked me to do yet.

Am I your boss?  I do this to my guys sometimes, but they love me anyway.

Is your boss frequently absent?  If so, your boss may be donblood.

I just found out that I have to be at work at 6AM (which means getting out of bed at 4AM) on Monday.  So hey, that's cool.

I might be kept at work through Sunday morning, but I'm very excited about it.

This has been my second unproductive week in a row at work, but, unlike last week, I've been able to cover up my inefficiency pretty well.

Fuckers tried to blame for this horrible weeping eczema rashy plague all over my arms that didn't subside at all after a month off. "It's because you're like a duck, always in the water, taking hours to clean the dishes."

The bloke has had teleconferences all week that have started anywhere between 4:00 and 8:00. We're a bit over it, but I guess it's one of the 'perks' of his work-at-home agreement.

Iggy, I hope you can manage to convince your stupid boss that an allergy is not about being slow at your job.
