Funny thing life, it’s like a circle sometimes

I had a job from July 2005 to September 2005. 

First the good.  I was elated when I found this other job, it was more money, a step “up the ladder” and was a young company. This was by far, the most training and guidance I have received in a new position since graduating from college, which was great.  Now the bad.

Imagine a small size conference room that is converted into four working areas.  A really small size room.  We were stuffed in there like veal, no joke.  In the summer, with no A/C. 

Then imagine a boss that looks like Barbie, but acts like Trya Banks on crack.  She was a tyrant.  A major bi-otch.  She wouldn’t allow us to have contact with any other departments, she would scream at you at the drop of a hat, and she wanted us to know as little about the rest of the company as possible. 

My job was consisted of working on Excel 8 hours a day working proposals.  The request was e-mailed to a general box, then distributed to us.  No e-mails, no phone calls, no interaction with other humans.  I got so bored with everything; funny how that is when I started my first blog!    Even when we were busy, the job itself was so meticulous and dull, it was busy-boring.  So I had slow-boring or busy-boring.  Yuck! 

On top of that, none of my co-workers understood my sense of humor AT ALL!! Once, I was joking and I said, “One of these days someone is going to come back to this place and start shooting!!”.  It was meant as a joke, like a “going postal” thing.  This actually got written up and put in my HR file!! And it was a joke.  I was told that I could not talk about things like that.  We were all joking about how crazy the office was, but I guess my joke took it too far.  What-ever!

And now, I have a job.   What can I say about it?  I know.  READ THE TITLE AGAIN!!
