A guy in my group at Megacorp told me that we work in a job we don’t like, for a guy we don’t like, on a project we don’t like, and his wife told him that was the time to start looking for a new job. An old group manager heard what we’re doing and called it monkey work. People who don’t know the situation don’t understand this at all.<\/p>\n
This situation has also been described as, “Having your boss hand you a bowl of sh*t flavored ice cream.” It’s still a job, we still get paid, but it’s time to look for greener pastures. I was called into a meeting this morning by my manager and my manager’s manager because, apparently, not only am I required to do my job but I’m required to ENJOY it. I have no poker face. They know I don’t like it.<\/p>\n
In other words, there’s no way I’m surviving this.<\/p>\n
In other news, well, there is no other news. Dave the Trainer screwed up his knee and had to cancel so I thought this was a fine time to sit at home and watch TV on a Thursday night.
