Ah yes, the eternal question of: does anyone at this company ever pick up their phones? is slowly morphing into: does anyone at this company respond to any communication at any time in any way ever

day two of this unbearable regime and like honestly the negative effect that being chained to my desk for 9 hours and not being allowed to do anything has had on my mood is just. beyond anything.
look, I do my job and I do my job well and I do it on time. I should be allowed to dick around on tumblr if I want to (and of course it goes without saying that I actually do a lot of things…write books, study Italian, random adult things like dealing with bills and appointments and shit) so I’m not only being prevented from doing fun stuff in my downtime I’m also being prevented from doing actual useful, productive things
capitalism is the worst
my boss “it’s called the theory of the other”
me, who has two degrees in psychology and sociology “yeah, I know”
My boss pissed me off by saying that I hold people to a high standard after I complained about those who show an inability to treat others with basic decency.
I’m sorry but I don’t think expecting people to treat others with kindness or, at the very least civility, is a high standard to hold. I think it’s the lowest fucking bar you can possibly set and anyway, if you can’t even do that I’m not going to waste my time on you.
Easily taking second place in the running for “most ridiculous things I’ve been paid to do” is writing a check request for a single penny
the single most ridiculous thing I’ve ever been paid to do was when I was paid to dye a dalmatian purple
don’t think I’m topping that one

today is annoying
what the heck!
You’d be surprised how often this stuff happens, especially with the older engineers. You could get away with that shit in the 80s but not these days!
OH so anyway, that asshole who kept me on the phone for 2.5 hours a few weeks ago? They withdrew his job offer because it turns out he lied about having a degree.
Not sorry to see that one go!
I need a raise
