The working blues

Ever since my company was bought out, I have became the "Schneider" of the company. I can honestly say that I have done nothing remotely related to my actual title in quite some time and there does not seem to be an end to the madness. If all of the other knowledgable people didnt jump like rats to our other clients accounts iy would not be like this but I am left as the elder statesman on our biggest clients account.

The irony comes in as roughly 9 months ago I was looking for a challenge as I was tired of just coming in, sitting at my desk for 8-9 hrs and then leaving. Over the last week alone I have only accumalated about 1 hour total at my desk. If it is not conference calls or meetings, its bringing new employees up to speed on current projects (and I suck as a trainer).

Viva La Coca Cola and Wellbutrin

No Rest for the wicked....

Similar to Wareaglebeane (i think), I am selling my house. For those that have done the realtor thing, yeah its like living next door to your in-laws, if you in-laws bring in strangers to your house when they come over. There is that constant nagging that anyone in the USA could simply drop by your house at any given moment and all you can do is hope you are wearing clean underwear...hehe. I encourage everyone to do this at least once as it is funny to watch my wife through this process. I have my own bathroom, which she calls the "truckstop", and she is petrified it is not pretty enough and people will not like it. That was my last weekend project. Completely re-decorating my bathroom. New tile, new fixtures, new toilet, new shower door, etc... Oner thing I learned from that? If you are not 100% sure you can not get the new toilet installed in the same day, do NOT remove the old toilet. My bedroom smelled like a porta john that night even though I covered the drainage pipe....

part 2 leads me to say that when you are 18, there should be a law that mandates you have your wisdom teeth removed. Mine are hurting so bad right now, i have slept 2 hours in the alst 3 days. woohoo. Add this to the rpevious entry of college and it makes for some interesting research papers. I start a paper on the communication methods used and displayed in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and I close the paper out with the communication methods not used on Xbox live.

To close I would like to thank my company for the nice "promotion" they gave me. In reality they dissolved my department and sent the rest of my colleagues to another division and sent me out to watch the rest of the employees work. What is so bad about that you ask? I work whenever they ask me to which is currently until 1am for the next 2 weeks and then I will follow up that with a week coming in at 6am. (I feel like I should be asking people if they want an apple pie with that) To add to the excitement, they interpreted this move as a lateral transition in terms of salary and gave me about 30 more responsibilities. They then hired 3 more people to work with me and then privately tell me they are going to work under me (of course these people dont know that so it really does not matter) and that I have to do their jobs as well until they are trained....6 weeks later....

The Navigator Diet (not to be confused with Family Guy diet of 20 hours of couch sitting and Fritos)

Daily:

12 cans of Coca Cola

2 Snickers bars

3 slices of true sicilian pizza

Orajel

Vicodin

Wellbutrin XL (im trying to quit my nicotine habits at the same time)

Doritos and Jalepeno Cheese dip

This is the breakfast of champions.

 

weekly:

6 hours of sleep

?? hours chasing a 2 yr old around to put the training diaper on

14 hours of Macro-economics, federal income taxation, and communications studies

3 hours of lawn care

4 minutes of sweet lovin

 

Complete this and you will be as skinny as a crack addict.

 

Cheers!

School Daze?

As most of my fellow OMM know, I am a college student. Well an old college student. The biggest kmistake I have made to date with my education is taking a bastard class. What class could one person take that could easily wreck any social time he had or any social skills he has developed. That class is called....Principles of Federal Income Taxation. This class is the most mind numbing, soul sucking class I have ever taken (and I was a physical Therapy major at one point)  If you plan on continuing your education, avoid Accounting courses if you value your personality or visitation rights to your family.
