Work-stress

[fearless_son]

Gorram, too many people to do things for, not enough time to get them done, logical organization that only exists in legend, and people giving me stern lectures about my screw-ups because of this.

Work is a pain in the butt, is it not?? I just got assigned a project, completely revamping a portion of our company, due in less than a month. Woo!?

Blah, you too, huh? :p

Work is fun

If you feel you're not getting paid enough to put up with their bullshit, quit. My job is quite the oppasite of yours, in almost every sense. I come in probably 30 minutes late, and it doesn't matter. Then I have about 2 hours of actual work (web programming) to do that day, on projects that I do at my own pace. Most of my time now is spent waiting for idiot server admins to set things up according to their statements of work. In the rest of the day, I browse the interwebs, talk to friends, and take an hour or more for lunch -- the whole time getting paid my 39/hr. The funny part is the fact that most of the people who work around me do less, and the kicker, get paid more.

Actually, that is my job most of the time. However, lately we have had a bunch of new machines coming into the lab that will be used for Vista testing, and I am the one who has to set them up on top of the rest of my work. As a result, my job is more stressful than usual at the moment.

However, the odd crunch period aside, my job is way too cushy to quit.

So why not use the time it took to write about having a lack of time at work, or the time it took to find out how many degrees of separation there are between you and bill gates, and do actual work? It doesn't seem like you can prioritize your day well if you think livejournal is more important than possibly getting canned.

Your job does remind me that developers at microsoft are lucky. They get a legion of minions who have a legion of their own hardware supports minions to test their code for them. Sounds like a shit job to me, go back to school and get a degree.

Just because my job was more stressful than usual earlier this week does not mean that all my time was taken up. Even then, there are short lulls, such as when I need to let something install before I can proceed, or I have to wait on someone else's reply, or I get to take lunch. It is during those brief times that I make an update. I never said that I had no time, just that it was stressful.

Actually, I find this job rather pleasant most of the time. I actually get to work with stuff that I like and no longer have to deal with the general public. Sure, I plan on going back to school and getting a degree, but that will be in maybe another year or two.

However, if you expect me to take your advice as credible, then you must understand that I need to know who you are. If you have no LJ account from which to post comments, then you could at least politely sign your name when you comment in someones journal.
