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.

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

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. ;)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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