I hate my job!

[Susquehanna Birder]

Okay...so the ongoing tale from my workplace. I've been told that we can only have 1 "IT" person in the department, and I'm not it. Apparently we have a corporate need for more Six Sigma Black Belts, so I'm also being pushed in that direction, with training to commence in September. In the meantime, I'm being handed a bunch of eco-regulatory compliance stuff to do. Frankly, I have less interest in doing this stuff than I have knowledge of what it all is. And that's precious little.

From what I can tell, the Six Sigma thing is "hot" (career wise) right now, but the thought of doing all that custerfarg stuff is making my stomach turn.

i hate Six Sigma, farging dumb

[Diomedes]

Six Sigma Black Belt, lol

I do not miss the corporate world at all.

Get out as soon as you can.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Pretty much my thoughts. I can't stand that shtein, and the thought of it being my only career direction here is stressing me out.

[Diomedes]

Stress will shorten your career as a human with the quickness.

[Susquehanna Birder]

True. I'm a (barely) living example of that.

[Diomedes]

How much longer is it worth it then?  Quit. 

Set yourself up consulting.  Or get a different job.  I don't know.

Life is short, I know that.  And I don't think people lay dying, thinking to themselves, "I'm glad I stayed five years too long in that awful job."

that's probably going to be me.  i've got 5 yrs left until i retire.  my body hurts every day and is probably only going to keep getting worse.  i still enjoy the technical side of my job, which is logistics.  i enjoy working with other marines and mentoring the young guys coming up through the ranks.  but i literally hate the physical aspect of it now.  but farg me if i'm walking away from this shtein now without a pension.  only way i'm not sticking around until i get to 20 yrs of service is if they medically separate/retire me. 

[Diomedes]

well so much for that idea

Pretty much how I think. My expression is "I don't think anybody, on their death bed, wishes they had one more day to spend at work."

I'm definitely working on a way out. And maybe more than one way.

anyone else get the feeling that we might end uptalking about sus in the mass shootings thread? 

[Susquehanna Birder]

Nah...nobody on this world (or elsewhere) is worth doing that. And I'm not offing myself, either, so don't break out the party gear just yet.

[Sgt PSN]

so what's the plan?  are you digging a tunnel or something?  maybe escaping through the air vents?

KILLYOURSELF!

I plan on changing my state to pure liquid, and seeping out of the cracks in the floor.
