i see where you are coming from ryu, but i wasn't trying to use a cliché as the end all be all of this topic.

i was just using the quote with the point i was trying to get accross.

where's my beer?

[Serpent]

Thanks for the conversion correction guys - got a bit confused there. Must be this a$$-kicking hydro I've been smoking lately! ;)

I don't care what any one does. There is way too much talk about morality on this board for my taste in general. My main thing is don't use weed as a shortcut, a spiritual steroid if you will, for meditation and stuff. Example: taking drugs to make ten amazing paintings in one night. I don't think it works that way. It can be part of the process but not the whole thing. In conclusion, you can smoke weed and meditate even while meditating, but not as the sole way of learning meditation :cool: eyes are a dead give away

I wasn't really directing that at you, it just seemed that everyone started using that quote.
:cool:

DON'T YOU JUDGE ME! WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ME, OR ANYBODY!??!!?

Oh, yeah. We have this thing called 'judgement,' and it's irresponsible, not to mention frequently dangerous, not to excercise it.

An example:

"Hey, I know you don't know me, but how about we meet in the park by the lake for a little NHB sparring match? Promise I won't pull a boxcuttter, or file aggravated assault charges with the police."

Your options are

a - "Okay, sounds fun!"

b - "What do you think I am, an idiot?"

c - "Speaking of police, didn't I see a sketch of you on Crimewatch last week?"

d - other

See? Judging people is a GOOD THING.

"How's everything?"

honestly?

you asked for it ....


i feel like i'm about to either implode or explode all the time

see i work for an isp and about 9 months ago they fired the only other sales guy in the place who actually took calls. so since then i have been the only sales guy for a national isp with more than 20 thousand customers. it's a fu cking joke. i have been busting my ass this entire time not only taking all the sales calls but also doing all the email that comes into the sales/info box, maning the sales chat, calling back the online signups, calling back the customers who send in checks for their initial payment, and playing tech/billing as needed which is at least 3 or 4 times per day for each.

this entire time most those in "outside sales" have been ******* off doing absolutely nothing and getting paid for it. there is only one guy that will actually help me when i have 3 lines lit up and waiting to be answered. unfortunately this is also the same guy who is actually outside selling allot of the time so he's not in the office a whole lot.

the worst one out of these guys, jim, has had an interesting pattern since i started there. he was told to start taking sales calls when i started because we had more than enough techs. he kept taking tech calls anyway and got away with it. when the outside sales dept. was created he saw an opportunity to be out of the office allot and just started learning what he needed to know to do that instead of taking either sales or tech calls. he got away with that too. (learning isn't bad but he was getting paid for not doing what was supposed to be his job). after he moved to outside sales he was outside but instead of selling he was riding his brand new motorcycle all day. when the weather got cold he was never outside (selling) but no body seemed to question this because of the important dicks he sucks. durring this time he noticed that the web dept. wasn't getting many websites in so he started learning web design at work. (again . . it's not bad to learn to design but he was getting paid to school himself in an area that had nothing to do with the job he wanted switched to while i was still hammering away at what i was told i had to do) he decided that he would just ignore his responsibilities to learn just enough to be moved to the least worked dept. in the place and got away with it. actually he was learning web design about 40% of the time and messing around with his porn server the rest of the time. at this point everyone knew this but it didn't make a difference beacause of the important dick he sucks.

about 5 months ago the one guy who actually helps me, bryan, lost his office because the owner was scared one of the admins would be leaving if they didn't get one. complete bullsh!t but bryan kept his mouth shut and moved into a cube. recently this same office became available and bryan said he wanted it back. well, bryan had a week vacation scheduled the same time the office became available and jim took it while he was gone. because he had an office our ****-tard owner decided to promote him to director of sales. ******* director. the next resumae he makes up will have director on it while i will have to put phone jockey even though i have been busting my ass the entire time he has done absolutely NOTHING for the company.

so now he's me and bryans boss.

when this first happened he tried to boss me around but i took it as a joke and told him to **** off. in those words. i made it clear that i had been doing my job fine all by my lonesome this entire time hes been doing nothing. he *****ed at me for being a couple minutes late one day (it was his responsibility to cover the phones when i wasn't there so no wonder he was on me about it) so i made it a point to be a couple minutes late every day. after a month or so of this he started only confronting me in front of people i had to listen to. he would take me into his office with a vp there ... or only confront me with an admin. so i had to stop being late which i was ok with. i didn't mind someone else telling me not to be late .. .but i shouldnt/wouldn't have to take orders from that piece of ****.

well, all was well and good until one morning my alarm didn't go off. i came in late and actually apologized to the fu cker. he didn't really say anything until later that day when ed, one of the vps he sucks off, came in. at the very end of the day he called me into the office he stole, with ed there of course, and wrote me up and said i had to work a shift that conflicts with my kungfu schedule for one month. at the end of this month i may be moved back to a schedule which doesn't.

it has taken every thing i have not to beat the sh!t out of this little ******* ever since he got his promotion by stabbing bryan in the back. now it eats away at me 24/7. i'm not saying i'm a badass but i could hand this kid his head ... he knows it and i know it ... thus the presence of the admins/vp whenever he would try to play boss with me.

having a kid and living in a piece of sh!t town i am fu cked. if i beat his a$$ im fu cked. if i walk out of the place i'm fu cked. there is no other place in the area that can pay me what i am making here . .. and even if there were i would fu ck the only job refference i have, that means a sh!t, by doing anything my heart is telling me is right. i have to support my kid so i can't have people calling my previous employer saying i beat the **** out of my last boss or that i abandoned my job.

it's not fu cking right man. and i got the icing on the cake is that after jim tried to bust my balls on icq. he tried to tell me how to do my job and i went off on him. he came up to me later and said that he just didn't want to see me fu ck up because allot of **** was going down and people needed to keep there noses clean. he said that anyone not doing their jobs are going to have fires lit under them. i asked him if he was expecting a bonfire (hehe) and he went on to talk about bryan. saying that bryan hadn't been in the office all day long and he was "asking" to get fired. i asked him if bryan had checked in and he said that he didn't know. after talking with bryan later about all this i learned that he did in fact check in 3 times that day to tell jim about 3 different places he was going to sell T1s. he was outside selling. the only other guy in my dept. actually working is about to get fired because he doesn't suck enough dick.

GOD. .. JESUS FU CKING CHRIST ... i want to make this kid pay ... i want to put his teeth on a fu cking neclace and wear it when i tell his family to fu ck themselves at the hospital he got put in.

i don't know what to do and it makes me want to die sometimes.

on the topic of this post i usually drink or get high to alleviate my rage. it's the only thing that makes me not want to kill people.

i apologize for all the rambeling about my job but i have had a couple beers in me and you asked how everything was going ... there ya go.

where's my beer?

[joedoe]

****in hell man, your work situation sounds like hell. Makes me all the more glad that I have a good job here.

Hang in there. Something good will have to come your way soon. Otherwise, go postal :D

Just kidding, don't go postal.

GDA,

This new boss sounds like an insecure little *****. From what you've written it's pretty obvious that you and Bryan are busting your asses just like you said trying to keep the job going and not being appreciated by some guy who's probably still has pimples on his face. :mad:

Sorry, man I have no answers for that kind of crap in life. But I guess I can say I know what it feels like to work for an ugly boss. I've had a couple. One new boss I had at one time condemned a 5 year employee for wanting to take a week off because his MOTHER was in a car accident and needed another kidney or something! She actually accused him of lying to her!
I quit that job, as did a lot of others, leaving her to actually fall apart because she had no more workers to take in her insults. Karma has a way of working in the end. We get what we put in.
Reap what we sow, you know the drill... :p

It sounds like you are really trying to take care of your kid, and that is what is the most important and noble thing. How old is your kid?
I'm not trying to tell you what to do. You have your stress, and you've got to find a way to deal with it. I understand that perfectly. But how often to you get high and drunk to ease that pain?
The only suggestion I might make is to maybe take the time you usually take to get high and instead take your kid to the park or something. :)
I'm sure you probably already do that kind of thing, but since you obviously care so much for your kid, I'm only guessing that being around him also relieves some of that stress around your life. At least I'd hope so. That kind of stress relief can be turned into a lot of usable energy, and you might even be able to discover some out to get out of the hellish job you're in right now.

I'm writing this because I really do care, and I'm not doing it to say "don't smoke pot!" or any other garbage. Honestly, I hope you find a way to better your situation. Sometimes it takes some risks, but you know your life much better than I, so do what you think needs to be done. :)

Anyway, hope things work out.
I know you don't like the emotional crap, so...

sh!t,
Fvck,
I just banged a girl tonight! (well actually no LOL)

Take care,
and good luck, man.

Sharky, I should expect this level of immaturity from you after seeing your post titled "Hm." regarding the woman that lives next door to you. I think everyone who unfortuneatly read that post is a bit more ignorant now for doing so. - Spectre

All i wanted was some RICE CAKES! Now? WE MUST BATTLE.

[Sharky]

i say that, from the pc lab in uni, at 6:45am, where i have stayed up all night doing a power point presentation about windows xp which i gotta give at 9pm. I can't really see properly cos i haven't slept properly in about 3 years. I think i've had like 20hours sleep in the last week.

I've got a Java exam which i will be failing at 10am, striaght after my presentation. It's worth 20% of my final mark too - which is nice.

The best part is that i have no money to pay tuition fees and if i don't get a thousand pounds by Friday, from " somewhere ", i am no longer a member of this university. Do you know howmany clever but poor kids never goto uni now that the government has taken away the grants and free fees? I am dribbling on the keyboard i am so tired. Go me.

But, at least, i do not have GDA's job. If i could, i'd come over and smoke a fat buddha head ****off fuc.ker with you. But i can't.

Oh well.

GDA, you didn't ask for it, but I'm going to give you a little advice. It has served me very well.

No matter what your job is, you only have one job, that is: to make your boss look good. That's your job, to make your boss look good.

If you pr!ck us, do we not bleed? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that the villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. MOV
