Maybe I should quit. I just double/triple-posted. I'm too dumb for interwebs all of a sudden, maybe I should be driving a forklift full time.

You are indeed correct that no one is irreplaceable, and that someone is going to do w/e it is anyway. Are they going to do it as well? Not that it matters to me, at this point.

It's hard to capitalize on what I have in this area, especially in this economy, because there isn't much available unless I'm willing to make a 3 hour round trip every day. I'm not...you could rightfully declare that a sense of entitlement, because most of the other people I could look on as professional peers that live in this area do exactly that.

I'm only here to be near my son. I decided today that as often as I see him, I could just as well live elsewhere and still see him as often. I took today off because I'm honestly not in the proper frame of mind to be in a professional environment, especially when that environment is inherently dangerous in and of itself and it would be worse if I'm distracted by this. I also took today off to start looking elsewhere for work. I think I'd like to move back to Florida, or if nothing else move to Raleigh and live near my life-long best friend...and Rikki, too.

Or maybe I'll move to Mass and find a job that lets me annoy the piss out of college students somehow...HA HA!!! J/K. Massachusetts sucks donkey balls.

And I take back what I said about you having no friends, because I honestly think of you as one, now that I think about it. I enjoy us pissing at each other across the interwebs. I think we'll be really good friends after you get out of college and get a full-time job and realize "OMG HE WAS RIGHT!!! I'M SURROUNDED BY RETARDS!!!." You'd be surprised how much your world-view changes between high-school/college and "Fuck This Job."

Dont' know how that ended up in the wrong thread, that's embarassing.


Anyway

So you ran files back and forth at a financial office? That sounds like you were just a gopher. go here, get that, take it there.

you ever have to go get a file someone else placed in the wrong spot? mabe they did that often? and you never bitched about someone else fucking up their job which ended up making yours more difficult?

That's all jubber was really doing.

I fucking hate college. Working was way more fun. It's way more rewarding to be doing something more tangible than doing meaningless bs assignments and fulfilling arbitrary requirements, and more fulfilling to be earning your keep rather than being strung along by your parents while you finish.

I play WoW probably 70 hours a week, and my peers waste their lives going out and getting drunk, or chilling on the beach, or having sex, or whatever, and either way it's killing time and burning dollars till we get plunged into the real world, something my feet are a bit more wet in. Even I'm man enough to tell you, my sense of self-worth would be a lot higher if I were done and gone and back behind a desk somewhere.

I mean, sure there's bad jobs, and there's bullshit in the world of work. But ideally, whatever it is you do, is sufficiently important that someone had to be paid to get it done.

Aetsu worked in a pawn shop.

move to raleigh, I'm in gboro, we'll hang out.

I've held several jobs. That particular job was the only I've only I've actually been fired from. I've had a very turbulent life.

Dad from Long Island: "Ethan's working in a pawn shop".
Paternal uncle: "Oh, well...I'm sure it's nothing he hasn't seen before..."

*ten minutes of conversation later*

Paternal uncle: "Oh, a PAWN shop."

Yeah, but let's say you're given an army to conquer the world, and you can choose to reanimate any great military leader who ever lived to lead it. Are you going to choose someone like, for example, Napoleon, or are you going to think, "Hey, that gulf war sure went smooth, why don't we put that G.W. Bush in charge of this?"

Someone is going to fill that position, and the works going to get done (or not), but I don't like being fed a line of shit that someone is "more qualified" than I am given the fact that I'm probably overqualified for what was offered and the other person has absolutely no background in the field.

I was going to write Monday off as a bad day, and let it go. My boss decided we "had to talk." I didn't want to make a big deal about it, but he wouldn't let it go. So fuck him if he didn't like anything I told him, and double-fuck him for everything I said being true.

So I took today off. Hang out with you guys. Peruse some job listings. Maybe dump my G/F as a gift to myself and women everywhere. I might even play some WoW (let me know if you guys need raid filler, I'm starting to enjoy that) and drink some Gosling's.

Oh, and obviously annoy Weena with this thread. Sorry, Pokelove, I didn't mean to be an arse and fill the airwaves with stupid. Which I kind of, sort of, almost nearly did. I owe you cookies.

Did he think you were working in a porn shop? How cool is that uncle?

Also, you should mention working in a pawn shop more often. It sound shady, which by definition makes you sound cooler.

From page one:

OK, let me rephrase it this way:

You have to hire someone for a management position in a warehouse. Do you hire a)The dumb blonde with big tits and no experience or b)the guy with several years experience in that field and managing in that field who's already done you the favor of doing the job without the actual promotion?

Also keep in mind that while you may wish to denigrate (b) as nothing more than an artistic forklift driver, he's at least operated a forklift, an integral piece of equipment necessary for day-to-day operation, and (a) could maybe possibly pick a forklift out of a line-up of similar pieces of equipment if the lighting is good.

While I generally go with "big tits," I'm gonna have to call this game in the fifth inning on account of rain, and go with the person who actually deserved the job. Not the one that most likely sucked their way to it.

I could hire the insufferable megalomaniac who does what no one else would think of doing, which is sign every post, rages at his boss and strangely doesn't think it's a godsend when he doesn't get canned, and is convinced of his intelligence based on no objective criteria.

Or I could hire the person who will get the job done passably well without all those issues.

That's not trolling or namecalling, it's just the reality as stated by you yourself in this thread. Who would want to hire someone like with all those issues over someone who will get the job done without all that bullshit? Answer me that.

Aestu of Bleeding Hollow...

He was already hired. We're talking about a promotion, right? Normally promotions are given out based on experience, performance and merit.

Again, you missed the start of that and don't get the joke. Honestly, I can't remember what was so funny about it, and still do it out of habit. I'm not going to stop because you think it's a sign of some sort of mental instability. Even if it was a sign of some sort of psychosis, it would put me in the good company of folks like yourself who go all self-righteous over......well, I'm not sure what exactly set you off this time. But my narcissism is no worse than w/e fuels your foibles, so I will consider this a peer review of sorts.

I don't see "not getting fired" as a godsend. If firing me was such an attractive option, as was implied during my conversation with my boss, why was it suddenly so attractive for me to continue being there ("we don't want you to leave")when I said I was already looking to sever ties with the company? You can't bullshit someone who has mastered the art of bullshit. They like my work and what I do there, they just don't want to do what is necessary to keep me...because they'd rather promote one of their buddies/fucktoys instead of giving the job to the best candidate.

That's the point, if you want to be obtuse and not get it, fine, but don't keep arguing about it like that isn't point.

You're talking to the bro who signed each official forum post with the number of mounts he had.
