I hate my job!

This is what happens when you put douchebags like Rick Scott, who luv 'Murrrca, but don't feel the need to, you know, actually adequately fund their governments they run, in charge.

We have to take a 120 question cert test every year courtesy of one Mr. Jon Runyan. Test takes 6 hours. You pass you don't have to take it the next year, you fail you do. There's no reward for passing or consequence for failing.

Regulatory tests are the funnest...

Haven't seen this thread in awhile. I'm so sick of my job and the corporate bullshtein nonsense that goes with it, that it's ridiculous. I would LOVE to find something completely different to do, even as a change of pace. But we're tethered to the area by my wife's work and family and I don't want to uproot the kid from school, so I'm feeling pretty locked in. Still holding out hope that something different, but viable, rears it's head. That's likely, right?

Quit your job and play poker. Easy game

[Zanshin]

I'm working from home just about every day. There are great things about it, and there are downsides...more than I would have initially thought, actually.

[Chameleon]

Downsides?

Working at home sucks....I do it Friday's because it lets me get prepared for the weekend but I could work at home up to four days a week and choose not to...I love going into the city everyday and having the human interaction of both the commute and the office

[Seabiscuit36]

I've worked from home for years, love every second of it, but I do enjoy the occasional day in the office.  I've said it before on here, people who are full time WFH employees have a system.  The once a week folks use it as a day off, see above post.

I did a little bit of working from home when I was an outside sales guy and when I went back to PA when my mom was sick.

I liked it sometimes but it is hard to get into that "work" mode for me when I have a million other things to do at the house.

Been working from home for 11 years.  Before I did I never understood how people did it.  Took awhile to get it down.  shtein loads of distractions BUT it allows you the flexability to attend kids events at school and sporting events in the early afternoon, coach, family matters.  I have the freedom to workout in the AM or lunch.  Yes, sneak in a noon surf session.  Not all fun and games, you pay later.  I coach high school soccer so afternoons are shot from Halloween until mid February.  Often up until 1-2 AM "catching up".  I can't complain but at times I do miss some of the office vibe.  I do get some shtein from the Mrs.  A lot of "You're home all day why didn't you fix this or that or why didn't you do the laundry?"

I've worked from home forever now, and I usually don't know what day of the week it is. I'm depressed most of the week unless it's poker night. If I lose my ass, I get even more depressed. I don't see anyone else most of the time. The most social interaction I get is when my girlfriend's niece and nephew come over but I soon lose interest in our conversation when I realize they still think that Bismarck is the capital of South Dakota, not North Dakota (idiots). I spend most of my day daydreaming of different ways that I don't want to die including falling into the mouths of sharks and being cut in half.  I masturbate to pictures of my girlfriend wearing jeans & sunglasses, and I eat cereal three times a day. Oh, and I get all of my sports updates on concrete field.info

I'm gonna go now.

I've been reading how fed up with corporate life Zanshin is for 11 years now.  Before, I thought there was a chance he might shed the golden shackles and assume the mantle of freedom and independence that was his birthright, but I have since come to understand that even the brave and beautiful, cowed long enough by the threat of unemployment and discomfort, will grow to accept the lash and chain.

Pour one out for a brother.

I just had a week's worth of work flushed because the analysts in our dept made changes to const rate values that were supposed to be done last week.

I was pissed for about 2 seconds but then I remembered I'm nothing but a petty gubmint functionary, and my work is unimportant to 99.99999999999999% of the population, so...
