They're sending around consultants to look at removing "redundancies." When I first started working out of college, the similarities to Office Space I noticed were kind of funny. Now it's just getting to the point where I'm yelling, "OH, COME ON," and flipping my planner.

enh I just quit my last one I'm tired of seeing companies run into the ground by operational incompetence. not a great time to go jobless without being able to get unemployment so I cranked up the difficulty by moving across the country to not-the-bay-area.

...rather than look for work I am going to play civ4, possibly until civ5 comes out


A couple of months ago, this wealthy, lazy, spoilt 20 y/o bitch took 6 weeks sick leave to get plastic surgery on her jaw. It was completely cosmetic. Other than a driver who'd wait for her, there was nothing to indicate that her Father/uncle/whoever was unusually powerful. Usually someone warns you about that stuff.

Anyway, she was supposed to be doing a thing for me so I failed her. Later, I get a very brief, rude email from some Arab guy in the IT department demanding I pass her immediately. I didn't know who the guy was and it's hard to tell who actually has the authority to give you orders in a ridiculously bloated Crown owned Middle Eastern resources company (sometimes that's good: I've had leave papers signed by 3 different people who all claim to be my boss), but if they sound fucked off and they're Arab, it's safest just to do what you're told.

This girl tells me the most ridiculous, embarrasing lies, and in class she's constantly talking in Arabic, and when I ask her to speak English, she yells, "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" or some other cunt thing to try to fuck with me and protest attempts to make her compentent in something.

Anyway, I buckle to her demands. Older guys who take pride in what they're doing struggle with the concept of special treatment and get fired. Stupid old fuckers need to learn how to suck a dick.

As for me, I'm getting made coordinator in three months!
