I hate my job!

One of Google's perks for their employees is that they allow each employee to use 20% of their work time to think about, collaborate on, and attempt to create a new venture or new product that Google can use.  Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs & Spreadsheets all came from this 20% time.

During my interview, my hiring-manager-to-be asked what I would do with my 20% time.  Knowing that question would be asked, I had given it some thought.  I answered that I would work on a social networking site geared towards older people, with all kinds of music and video content online.  The key would be the content, and I even addressed how Google would need to work within the parameters of the copyright laws for both, and work in concert with the recording and movie owners.  He asked a couple of clarifying questions, and that part of the conversation was over in about 2 minutes.

Today, I see this.

At least it wasn't Google that came out with it.

I got a new job today.  Gubment appraiser.  Decent pay, crazy excellent benefits.  I sold my soul and I'm happier about it than a taterskin fan at a NAMBLA convention.

I love my job but I'm thinking about leaving because Boston is the armpit of the planet. I updated my resume on Monster and now my phone won't stop ringing. I know it's my own damn fault but can't these clowns call after business hours? I mean, I've got a job here people.

i told them that i'd need at least four hours out of each work day to dazzle you clowns with my linguistic virtuosity.

they told me to stop using unnecessarily big words and to shut the farg up otherwise.

in other words, it's just like here!

The first two days of my new job went well.  I found out that I'm a "probie" though which basically means for the next six months I won't actually be doing much except gofer work.  Whatever.  A paycheck's a paycheck and getting six months worth of paychecks will allow for two things.  First, the market can improve which would mean that I'd probably be able to restart my business.  Second, even if the market doesn't improve I can still keep looking for another job while getting paid to do this one. 

I had a call from a company in the private sector for an interview but I blew it off because it wasn't that much better than this gig plus getting a gubment job all but ensures you that you'll keep it unless you're a total retard.  Ironic, I know, considering most of my posts.

I threw in an application for a government job.  I like how all the salary ranges are public.  Plus, government is good, I was told somewhere by someone.

My current job's fine.  It doesn't hurt to poke around.
