5/25/04 -An offer I couldn't refuse??

[mahashel]

I was offered an ADDITIONAL position at my work today. I'd be added to the IT staff to keep our network and compys running smoothly, in addition to my normal roster of duties. Same pay, same benefits, more work. Why did I say YES?? Why did I fall for it again??? (been down this road more times than I care to admit).. Well, that's a great

well i'll agree with that hypothesis. now with some proven truths and more than one mind it becomes a theory.

and you are insane.

[mahashel]

My insanity was drafted into law-dom long ago.
Given that my hypothesis expired into theoretical fact after only a short interval, my hypothesis regarding ruralistic work patterns and their effects on laboratory feeder rats seems inevitable. The insanity of my much-published "feeder law" gives rise to a new set of hyptheses that have to do with monkeys going into a lethargic cryothermic slumber near the geographic location of Tensleep, Wyoming, USA, Earth.
The rest is history.. now wake me when someone understands what the hell I just said and explain it to me like a mollusk.

The rural work ethic has been completely abused by corporate America, and it's far too late to turn back the clock.

I think similar thoughts each time I hear that more and more people work 70 hour work weeks because it's expected of them, or that Americans work more than Europeans. Nice of you to put it in a Wyoming perspective, which makes sense.

it sucks, doesn't it? that's kind of similar to my position--doing two, sometimes three, jobs for the price of one. it's ridiculous! that way, if people are willing to take that burden, they don't have to pay several people to do everything. it's really crappy. ah well--mebbe down the line it'll look good on a resume for experience, or something. karma, i say! *roar*
