getting laid off.

I am about to get laid off. I anticipate this will take place either today (Friday) or Monday. It seems that most people get laid off on Friday so they don't come back to the office and mow everyone down with a shot-gun, but there is little potential for me to be in that position. I am going to be relieved when I am let go from the bellicose arms of my idiot boss. Last week, we got into a screaming match where I gave him the what-for, totally expecting to be fired on the spot, and still it didn't happen. A week later, business is still slow, and nothing has changed so he can't afford to pay us anyway.

I have never been on unemployment. Except for the not getting very much money part, the not working and getting paid anyway part sounds cool. For awhile anyway.

i loathe my job

today is friday and i cannot bring myself to do any work. in fact, i haven't been able to bring myself to work all that hard for months. i hate my job. well, that is not exactly true. i hate my boss. he is a sociopath. i know people say that about their bosses all the time, but upon a scientific study of the internet, my boss perfectly fits this profile. it it terrifying.
there are some highlights of my office though. the most entertaining thing about working at my office is watching my boss slowly flush the company down the drain and then blame everyone else about it. i can sort of come and go as i please and vacation time is not closely monitored. no one tracks my internet usage and if someone does, then no one has said anything to me about it.
i always think i will be more focused on monday, but it never happens. i need a new job.

another very slow week

well, i thought last week was slow, but this week is as well. i can't believe it's only tuesday. and cloudy and icy to boot. it feels like it should be friday already.
i planted all these bulbs in the fall. some of them were errantly starting to shooting up last week, and i am certain upon waking up to a thin layer of ice covering everything, they regret their overzealous growing. i wish i could have stayed dormant today as well, but unfortunately, i am at work.

back to blogging

as an alternative outlet to myspace, which i refuse to continue to be a part of after my next birthday, i think i will start blogging again. I plan things in portland. i do not enjoy capitalization. i live in north portland with my boyfriend, a dog, and cats. all the pets have person names. i am not afraid to discuss money, sex (though maybe not the sex i have), politics, or any of that other stuff people get weird about discussing. i do not love to work, but i like to have enough money and the only things i know how to do involve working in an office, so i find myself something of an under 30 professional. sometimes i fantasize about being a DINK (double income no kids) but i think you have to make ALOT of money for that to be fun. right now, it is too rainy in portland. it always is from january til whenever it stops in june. eesh.
