So Who Else Is Gettin Screwed Into Working Today...

[Catfish]

Friggin place is dead. Why the F am I here... :bh:fl:tg:mad:

[Tombstone]

It's dead here also but, i am happy to have a job.

[ucla695]

I feel your pain. The first three days of the week were painful enough so I had to take today off... ran out of things to look at on the internet.

[cort]

Not Me:D

;s

[longknocker]

I'm "Always" Working, David!:r Somebody Has To Do It!:tu

[68TriShield]

No such thing as "screwed into" when you sign the paychecks :(

[CigarNut]

Having been laid off in October 2008 I am glad to be working today -- even though it is a short contract (8 weeks) and 1/3 of what I was making before. It's all relative...:)

Hear ya bro. Came in around 11 to get away from the construction project that is our house.

Did a little work and spent the rest of the time here. I sure hope more employers don't black list our site. :D

It's a long day of waiting for the night so maybe going to work will make your evening more enjoyable. ;)

[Thrak]

Me.

Worst part is, they just announced we're closing early @ 3:30p.

My shift is 7a-3:30p. :(

You suck Mike!

And yep, I'm here and it's slow as death.

[Tripnastic]

I work 4 12's a week- mon, wed, fri, sun. We're closed Friday so I took a vacation day Wednesday and got 5 days off in a row. It's glorious.

[bobarian]

I am at work, been here almost 2 hours! Time to bail! :D

[spectrrr]

On top of that it is month end and year end. Of course I am working, just not too hard at the moment!

[Whynot]

12 today, 12 tomorrow.

[ucla695]

[floydpink]

working in tourism in Central Florida= work every holiday if you want to keep your job.

[gettysburgfreak]

At least you dont have to sit through 8 hours of spanish today or for the next 6 weeks.

[ActionAndy]

Dying a slow death here in the office.

[rlmedic]

I am lucky...24 hours 8am to 8am tomorrow moring....going to be a long night

[icehog3]

It's dead here also but, i am happy to have a job.


Yup....lots of my friends don't have a job, so I won't consider myself "screwed". ;)

[marge796]

Just waiting a few more hours to pour a Little rum into a glass and light my first stick of the day. Oh ya, by the way, I didn't work today nor will I until Tuesday.


:tu


Chris.....

I suppose I should have made myself more clear. I don't want it to come across like i'm ungratefull to have a job. Trust me when i say that is 180 degrees opposite of my attitude and everybody around me who knows me knows that is a fact.

What I mean is: There is no. none. zero reason for me to be here. All of my trucks are done and headed back in. The phones are not ringing. Nothing requires this office be manned yet I have to wait for all the trucks to return. The future operations of this company are in now way, shape or form benefitted by my being here.

And neither is my paycheck. Gotta love salary positions.

I was in your boat for 10 years, then I moved out of clinical into administration. I lost a little bit of my soul, but I gained a heckuva lot of days off.

Understood now. :tu :) Hope you get out of there soon!

[The Poet]

I'm still working. I packed up 8 cases of wine to ship out, and sold 2 more off the shelf to one steady customer. Hell, if I can't be drinking I'm glad somebody else can. WTF do I care anyway - it's just another freakin' day.

[DBall]

Leaving in 40 minutes... just found out Mark (ex-bostonmark) is in town so we're gonna hit up a smoke. I'm ringing out 09 w/ a Davi 3k... 2009 sucked, so at least it's gonna end well (watch, it'll be plugged like a rock... :r)

[bonjing]

Watching coeds tonight Greg? :tu

[bonjing]

we both wish :D. campus is dead, we're on shut down. place is kinda creepy, especially, on the rare occasion that fog creeps through the place. :lv

[SNKBYT]

Thanks for the rub Alex!;)

no problem Charlie, glad I could make your day better :D

[Tripp]

I'm getting screwed into working today, but my boss just dropped off a beer at my desk... but it was a Corona, so I guess its not that great.

[sodomanaz]

Just think of it as ending/starting the year right... with a job. :) As much as I hate my current job being a recent college grad, I'm grateful I have a steady income to pay my mortgage/bills. I know others who are struggling much worse than I am, and while I feel empathy towards their situation, I am grateful I am in a position where I am not struggling too much (though this pay is well beneath what I was expecting for myself right out of college).

I won't lie, I don't want to be stuck working my "until I finish university" job for much longer, but I'm grateful I have it. Let's all hope that 2010 leads to good things for all.
