I am LMAO at the nonsense in this office:
When I was out last week, the interns were training the new interns. Really, interns training interns, does that even make sense? Not to me.
So I get back the next day and the intern Angel is telling the Russian he has a call. The Russian proceeds to walk over to Angel's desk and picks up the phone. It is Joe asking the Russian for something, the Russian does not transfer the phone to his desk, nor does Angel transfer it to him, but he puts the phone on the desk and runs back to his desk.
The Russian then gets the information he needs and runs back to Angel's desk and picks the phone off the desk to talk again to Joe. Joe must have asked for a few more things because this behavior repeats.
I have decided not to aid in this chaos because I can't stop laughing and will use all of the amusement I can.
Interns training interns ... LOL
Welcome!
I used to hate my job, now I have a new one! This is my process for getting through it staying healthy, and hopefully finding something more fulfilling and less stressful to my body. If you feel me follow me, if you think I am a complainer read on... it gets better.

The Ozzy Experience
All aboard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa!
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Yeah that's right I am an Ozzy fan, and I even have the different stages of Ozzy at my office.
There is Joe who is Ozzy on some shit. Joe either coming to hungover, drunk or out to the bar in the middle of the day to get some shots of Vodka. Although I am convinced his coffee also has vodka in it. He reeks of sour bar all day and drunk texts me nonsense and I have actually asked if he was drunk, he replied 'yes'! He is a shit show who pawns off his work so he can go to the bar.
We have April who I am convinced eats bat heads after hours, AKA Ozzy in concert. She is Satan, I hate her and I am convinced that my life is better when she does not speak to me.
Then there is Mr. O who seems to be in some sort of comma all day. I.e. post Sharon Ozzy. He slurs shuffles and I can understand nothing of what he is talking about or what he says.
I am going off the rails on this crazy train!

The depression
I have gotten depressed with all of the interview I have been going on, it is not that I don't feel that I could get the job, its that I am depressed at the actual work out there. And then there is the head hunter who tells me not to hold my breath, ugh!!!
I can't sleep, and my gym is under construction so there is no relief... and I have to go back into my hostile hell work environment tomorrow.
HELP! This is all that I could find:
1. I will only see a half-full glass and have no “stinkin’ thinkin’.”
2. I will not waste time, but will design a weekly search schedule.
3. I will not complain.
4. I will be disciplined.
5. I will not accept rejection as personal, just business.
6. I will exercise and maintain a balanced diet.
7. I will concern myself with those things over which I have direct control, and not those things over which I have no control.
8. I will develop or maintain my sense of humor.
9. I will involve my family and friends and keep them involved.
10. I will respect myself and be kind to my family and friends.
11. I will not expect the next job to fall into my lap. I will find it!
12. I will not daydream my way into my next job.
13. I will take consistent and meaningful actions every day.
14. I will not place blame on others, only on myself.
15. I will control my job change.
16. I will complete a minimum of 50-150 job-hunting activities weekly.
17. I will read everything I can to improve my position in this search.
18. I will give myself permission to try.
19. I will give myself permission to fail.
20. I will give myself permission to ask for help.
21. I will give myself permission to make mistakes.
22. I will give myself permission to succeed!
23. I will do my best at whatever task I attempt.
24. I will repeat to myself each morning and each evening: "Starting today, I am in control of ...

The sick day
It is quite possible you have done it, use your sick days to not have to deal with work?
Just look at your schedule, you hate your job and it feels like you have to cram everything in your life around unrealistic schedules. There is not a single doctor's office that is open when you are not working, hair coloring you can usually forget trying to get done on the weekends (unless you know about a certain salon called Rockstar) and the dentist will have to be miserably placed at the beginning of your work day.
It kind of sucks actually planning your life around an 8 to 5. I mean who really needs a driver's licence any way? Hmmmm? The DMV can suck it.
So the working world made sick days, which are great unless you are being called in, called from the office, or actually get sick. It is not like sick days are very practical for actually getting sick, who can determine that they will get only the flu and only have one sickness? And I should add that most people come in when they are sick anyway, making the rest of us sick and taking more time away from us. Nothing pisses me off more than a boss coming in sick! Asshole, go home, I want my sick days for ditching work!
Really, determining how to be sick is more of the option, like "I have a job interview, sick day please?" makes more sense to me.
Then it dawns on me why not give salaried employees no sick days, and let them just do their work and make up the hours where they can. Most employees will work from home where they can. I know I do.
