I work too fekking much!!!' fekkitty fek fek fek!!!
I was unemployed too much last year now I work until midnight and start again at 8:30! Fek!

Some balance would be nice. 


At least I get to ride to work today  [moto]
and at least I like my job today. 

Ok back to work

I can appreciate that !!!
I work 8am-4pm without a lunch to get my 8 hours in and then go to my
2nd job from 430p-1230am.
I wish I didn't have to get up at 6am to get the kids ready for school.
Ahhhh weekends!

I know what you mean.
Some days I'm up as early as 8am, at work by 9-9:30, and work until 3:30, sometimes even 4 o'clock!
Then, when I get home, my wife has the Tyra show or Dr. Phil on TV, so I have to use the little (40") set, or surf the net until dinner. And sometimes I even have to cook!

It's a dogs life, I tell ya, a dogs life.

You're telling me! The other day I didn't get out until 3 pm! I had been stuck since 10 am the morning of the same day! I barely had time for a lunch!

Meh.

Typical 45-50 hour weeks, get paid for 40, dealing with assholes throughout, SSDD. Shitty "raise" (hello new tax bracket!) a few weeks back but management worships the ground beneath my feet and at least I have a job.

Blah, blah, blah.



(it's Friday night, I'm healthy, and some tasty microbrews are slidin' so it's all good   )

The person who I contract for is not sure about their sexuality and brings those issues into the office environment.  Sleeps with clients, sends our vendor estimates to our clients, posts projects on their and the company's FB page â€" before they're approved, complains about the state of the company but does NOTHING to save it from dying....



Yes, I'm looking for contract work elsewhere but until then, I must deal.  

Rant over and thank you Desmostro for starting this thread!

This sounds way too familiar.  I am also looking

I am looking too.  I can do my job in my sleep.  I often do.  Dang dreams.

No raise last year, no raise this year.  This pay period I only had 70 hours for 2 weeks. 

I resent the fact that I work hard, get the best feedback, am requested for all the staff training, requested by businesses and students, and still no raise.  I even have a FB fan page started by a student! 

Even worse, is there is no room for advancement.  I am stuck.  If I worked in a coffee shop I would be the manager by now.

I'm glad to be employed

So am I.  Venting every once in a while is nice.

You guys are thread jacking.  Go find somewhere else to be cheery, this is about pregnant doging.

I hear you. My job reminds me of a bad date sometimes (not the Indiana Jones, dead monkey kind of bad date). I get assigned to develop a solution that satisfies requirement A, requirement B, requirement C. I do it. And then I get a long pause and, "How does this address requirement D?"
"You didn't tell me about Requirement D"
"Well, you should have known. it's in the contract"
"I'm not allowed to see the contract"
"Oh. Too bad. Do it again"

Over and over and over again.
