I hate my job...

from Elemental Forums

So... yesterday I finally decide I'm going to get my pre-order in and get in on some of this luscious Elemental Beta action. Problem is, I need to transfer funds from my savings account to my debit card. I work until after my bank closes. Oh well, no big deal. I'll just do it this morning, right? Oh, wait, I forgot. I have to go BACK TO WORK at 8 am to do some training. O.K. still, not a big deal. I'll just put my order in at noon when I'm done. I wake up this morning and check the elemental site over coffee to see a post stating that there will be no more new users to the beta after some time today. F**k. Check my clock... training in 15 min. Long story now made short: pre-order made today at noon, come home and find I'm too late. I hate my job...

lol. Are you an imbecile?

 

 

 

 

 

 

;)   I think that is now one of my favorite quotes

 

And being a senior IRL does still give you respect (sometimes) if you have money, power, or morals

people are more likely to respect an old, rich, lucid person than a young, rich, lucid person

And seeming to be a "good person" is generally a respect multiplier.

Here is the bright side. I worked for 50 years and today 7/30/10 was my last day as I am now retired. Now I have everyday ahead of me and am still working on what the hell I'm going to do with all this time.

Congratulations, Dave! :beer:

I don't hate my job, but some days I wish I could cut back to just part time.  Other days, like the past week I've had, I'm really glad I owe my time to my employer so that I don't have to think about the crap that's happened in my non-working life.

One thing I know I can do is keep my eye on Doc and Wiz as they really need someone to keep them straight.

I concur, as a proctologist I really hate my job.  Sometimes I just really feel like an ass.  I mean all my friends make me the butt of their jokes.  Sometimes when I have had a hard day at work, I just feel depressed because I feel that in my career I will be stuck in the bottom.

Man, I'll bet your job really "stinks" :P

Normally I wouldn't stoop to a pun that low for a laugh, butt, in this case what the hell!!...lol.

To my Nemesis,

Happy retirement, Dave. Now you're free to pursue your second career....and I hear you're moving....that's cool, man!

I hear San Francisco is a really fun place!   :karma:   :-" ;)

Glad you could find tights to match your bag.

Seriously....Have a wonderful retirement! You earned it, sweety!

Happy retirement Dave!  I was forced into retirement 5 1/2 years ago, don't worry, you'll find plenty to do! |-)

That's OK Doc. Considering your old age we all know and understand you.

:rofl:

Who retired?..... Poor old doc..... sigh.

 

I'm glad you're out of that rat race.

Start enjoying the life G-d gave you, friend.... see some beautiful places... have a drink and kick back.

Then, think about 'what if...' and by that i mean what if you could do anything/learn anything or be somewhere else... then implement it.

 

i'm so happy for you, bud. truly. The opportunities are unlimited....Have a blast!

WHAT?  I thought he was going to devote his entire retirement to learning Skin Studio, and become the equivalent of Grandma Moses of Windowblinds!

And just who told you 'he' hasn't? Luckily I just found this in the paper.

I may start this windowblinds thing Karen but it will have to wait a couple months as I have fixing up plans. I just uploaded another set of OD and that's about the limit of my skills.

I never realized I was a man with so many lives. It's a wonderful thing for sure. You should find the person on wrote that article and let them know I was born in 1861.

Hah! You're only 149 years old Dave, I got that beat by 4 years! :P

Tom you can really mess Grandma Moses up. They have been telling me for years I was the oldest one alive.

When Target doesn't call me back for a job interview, I know I'm screwed. I hate being unemployed, overqualified, way too honest on my applications. When I meet other morons with Jobs I have to wonder what the heck I'm doing wrong. One cannot survive on mowing lawns and doing sympathy work for friends for so long.

Luckily, it has given me plenty of time to write. So when they pry my rotten corpse from my computer room, they might read my novel I've been working on for months. And then I'll be a posthumous success just like my idol Van Gogh.
