Today's Headslapper

Well no wonder I can't find an actual job. I should have been checking ads like these. You may or more than likely may not, have been reading this blog so far, but I think my problem is obvious after seeing those ads. I have been looking in  the wrong place! Duh!

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

I was watching a segment on the news the other day about how they need psychologists in the Gulf Region because of the oil spill. The discussion was about PTSD and how people in New Orleans are still reacting to Hurricane Katrina and how long they may react to the spill.

Night before last, I had a terrible dream about the ass at my last job. He was in the back seat of my car while I was driving and he was YELLING at me about how to drive, where to turn, etc. What the fuck?  Now I get it in the dream, too? I think mental health counseling should be offered as part of this whole health reform crap. I need it. I worked for it. I suffer. All of this at the hands of people who have pretended to be smarter than me. People in charge of what I would do with my days. People who have used me.

There should be extensive testing done on people before they are allowed to own businesses and hire unsuspecting victims. Before they are promoted to positions where they are allowed to fuck with me. This can't possibly be legal. Some of my experiences can only be classified as acts of terrorism. And yet, this whole culture is completely under the radar. I say let's bring these dickwads in to the light, expose them, show them the fallout of their actions and general bad decision-making skills.

Then I will hurt them.

Oh, my bad. You're fired.

Another day, another crappy job. Today's edition features sex. lies, and video, without the sex and video. I know, deceptive. But that's exactly what they were!!! I got this job as a bookkeeper and assistant to the controller at an employment agency. The irony, right?

This agency was for placement of engineers and they were making major dough. It was owned by this married couple and everyone there, except the controller, had been there from the beginning. So the controller hires me because he needs help and I spent a solid week looking for shit to do. He kept saying help was needed with billing so I was pretty much stalking the woman that was doing it so she would show me how, blah, blah, blah.

Finally, two weeks go by and I'm talking to this woman and asking her for the brazillianth time what the fuck I was supposed to be doing. She finally says it's time for us to "talk". Oooookaaaayyyy. Here we go again. It turns out they had sold the company and hadn't yet told the controller because they were afraid he'd leave before they could close on the deal and no one knew how to do what he did.

While they were waiting for the closing, the dude hired me! Fucking true story. So I was let go. Again. They didn't need or want me. Again.

Is it really too much to ask for a little sanity in the workplace???? This shit has been the theme of my entire working life. One asshole after another. A never-ending stream of dipshits, hoo-hahs, and brain damaged fucking idiots.
