It's like anti sleep. I'm more sleepy than when I laid down to sleep.
-
i have spent many nights at the office sleeping on the floor and many nights (and 48-hour periods) at the office NOT sleeping at all. believe me, the latter is much worse.
-
wow America does suck
-
Despite your recent raise, you don't get paid nearly enough for this.
-
wtf goes on at your office Gillod. every week there's a new crazy story
-
I think it's mostly GilloD being crazy, and the boss let's it slide because he benefits from it.
-
nobody cares that recursive does this because he's all brilliant mind on us.

The Office: GilloD Years.
When are you leaving to Korea again?
Mid-August! Almost there!
I have like 45 vacation days saved up, haha. When this project is over, I'm taking like half of July off.

Kind of. We had this huge project and 80% of it was programming shit and everyone else here has no idea how to use their computer, so it fell to me to get it working. Which would have been okay if we had like. An ERP that had some kind of documentation? Or a user community? Instead we got one that's half in French, with no manual and a support staff that has almost no idea what to do when the program breaks ( Because the errors are always in FRENCH) and still manage to bill at 150$/hr.
So I'm here forever writing middleware to deal with it's shitty input/output. And trying to make everything work. Because I am the only person here who knows computar.

How much do you make GilloD? I hope it's at least $25/hour cause you have to put up with some crazy shit in your job.
No, its like $40,000 a year between him and his wife.

Pooping on the office floor is worse.
-
Pooping on the office floor then forming a nest out of it to sleep in, is way worse.

I got a raise to 30 recently, but my wife does tutoring on and off while she writes her thesis. She makes like. 200 a week? Not much. But we get by! You can get a lot of free shit on Craigslist if you're willing to drag it on the subway.
Anyway. I make like. 12 bucks an hour, maybe? I'm afraid to do the math :(
-
That's depressing man.
-
$30,000 a year isn't worth all that, holy shit. But in these End of Days, we have to take what we get :'(
-
you're creeping out the rest of your office with your shenanigans, GilloD.
-
Be a man don't tolerate this.
-
living to work lol
-
This is stupid- $12 per hour? You really should be looking for other jobs and planning to bail sooner rather than later.

With the hours you're putting in, I doubt you're even clearing minimum wage.
-
What is your wife getting her graduate degree in, GilloD?
-
I'm guessing one of your co-workers asked to borrow your office key and then they all went for drinks and accidentally locked you in.
:(
-
I make 13.50 working part time. You're job stinks.
-
What is your wife getting her graduate degree in, GilloD?
Poli Sci, concentration in Community Development.
Yeah, I mean. I am bailing. This is bullshit. But I'm also rock 'n hard place- Jobs are scarce and I don't having the savings to walk. Korea should work out okay, and I'm talking with some folks about doing a long internship on a farm afterwards, which is what I have ALWAYS wanted to do and should have done in the first place, I guess. We have some friends doing relief work in South America and for 40 bucks a WEEK, you get 3 squares and room&board and you gett o volunteer at the orphanage, so I'll do that for awhile.
Then who knows? No more of this shit, taht is for certain. I've always wanted to end up in some kind of Urban Ag. advocacy thing? I don't know, really.
Anyway. If ti weren't for this ERP, this process would have been a snap. But like. Today it was like "I ONLY ACCEPT PROPRIETARY 3 CHARACTER CODES FOR SHIPPING" and so I wrangled the e-commerce software to send "GND" for ground shipping instead of "UPS Ground", which makes more sense, but whatever. And then I send it to the ERP and it's like "GND? WTF is this lol i;m so crazy" and so I spend 5 hours chasing down the problem because there's no fucking manual. So now it takes like 2 letters and a digit and when it passes them to the middleware I wrote because it's export data sucked so fucking bad, now the middleware has to take the additional step of interpolating that useless 3 digit mess from the ERP into something usable for the warehouse and fucking UGH.
Anyway- Haha. No one else came in the weekend! I'm the only one here! Because I'm a pushover! Not really. Sort of? It's just my feeling that. If you tell a man you'll do a job, you should do that job. To try and twist his arm to get extra money out of him because you have the upper hand is. Unkind and un-Christian (Yech. I sound so weird when I say that) and it's just one of those things that like. I studied a lot of Marxist Lit in college and I'm down with the cause and into workers rights and all, but I told the man I'd do a job and I'll do it. A dude's gotta stick by his word, not demand more dough when it goes down wrong. I dunno.

GilloD's office:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/e0qqrp.jpg)
As you can see, all of his co-workers have gone for drinks without him. :teehee
-
:lol That's terrible.
-
your boss probably pops a huge boner when he thinks about the abuse you take for mere peanuts.
-
nobody cares that recursive does this because he's all brilliant mind on us.
i also make more money. though not that much more.
-
Haha. So I spent like 8 hours today figuring out a way to get the e-commerce thing to pop a special 3 digit code for the ERP. OAnd the ERP is likle "whut 3 digit code", at which point I find out that there are 4 different types of objects called "carriers" and what it really wnats is some obtuse 9 digit code.
I am starting to feel like Fitz Carraldo.
-
Wait, you always wanted to work on a farm?
Yes. Will explain later.
-
i'm also extremely dysfunctional in general, in many many ways certainly not limited to my work and (MIA) love lives.
-
Okay what are your options though?
Move to Korea
Move back to either of your parents place.
Get a better job somehow.
I'm not sure what I'd do, since it doesn't seem to me poli sci would bring in the big bucks either. It seems your totally ready to live out in some commune.
This thread about GilloD, recursive ;)

I remember years ago. FA, Vydar & I used to work around the clock and would sleep under our desk for a couple hours listening to Coast to Coast AM. :P It actually was fun for the most. I mean the constant work wasn't. But hanging out w/ friends while working was cool.
