5 Long Years

Woohoo.

I've been at my job 5 long years. 2.5 of them good, 2.5 them BAD. And I'm still searching. Ain't giving up until someone some place PLEASE GOD something some company hires me.

But first, a lovely recap of my weekend, or should I say, lack thereof.

Friday night, I came home and watched The Skeleton Key in all its hoodoo glory. Great film, fabulous ending. Then, I went to sleep at 12:50 am. I planned on getting up Saturday, but that didn't happen. My alarm did not go off.

Kiddies? I gotta tell ya. If you need an alarm to get out of bed on WEEKENDS, you're working too damn hard. And oh, does my carpal tunnel still sting.

So, I stayed allll daaaay in bed Saturday. It was rainy, rotten, and basically boring. So, I said fuck it. I lay there like roadkill and was very amazed at all the wonderful dreams I had. I even wrote some of them down. I've also made a decision,given a certain Board Member's comments, a lovely letter about exactly what's happening at the AP. I'm going to--after I leave, if I ever leave--write him a nice note about what's going down the pike on the administrative end o'things. I'm sure he'd love to hear it. If Darius Hudson and other people as seemingly intelligent, hard-working and loyal as myself can get totally screwed, then he's the person to hear about it. He must know and see what these scumbag megalomaniac narcissists are doing to the company in which he still draws a nice fat salary, the likes of which I'll never see, so it's time for some colorful commentar from your's truly. In the way that I only I can provide.

I see great and frightening parallels between the bullshit arrogance and secrecy of the Bush administration and what's going on in this company. I didn't vote for these assholes, either, but I'm sure as hell stuck with them. The country I can't fix, but the job situation is quickly becoming worse, more abusive, less thankful and more like slavery every single day. I can't become lax in my fight.

IMG has me coming back this week for interview number 3, but it's really the first interview for a different division. That's fine by me. I will do whatever it takes to get the hell away from these people. If Pinochet and her evil spawn can take two hour lunches? Fuck you, you mid-western Republican assholes, so can I. And to think that they might feel that I'm on the same level as her? That's so insulting because I could NEVER be a cheap, ghetto version of hired help. I actually speak English, I'm from a news family (Dad, Granddad, Uncle, and two cousins), and I have two college degrees. I know for all time I'll never see a master's degree should I stay in this unrelenting shithole.

She thinks Detroit is in Ohio. KJou and I laughed so hard over this, I thought he'd fall out of his chair. Nope, I am worth more.

And that's pretty much that, kiddies. I'm off to ebay to buy toothpaste in bulk, since I'm basically broke. Again. No surprise there.

Like the old saying goes, You Can't Spell Cheap without
