So now I'm apparently in trouble at work again because my boss doesn't think I do enough work. I guess it was brought on by the fact that I took yesterday off because I worked a ton over the weekend.

I give up, I can't do a goddamn thing right.

Oh, and if I don't this list of stuff my boss decided needs to get done by New Years, I'll no longer have a job. Awesome. Especially considering I still don't know if one of them is even fucking possible to do. Despite the fact that I've said this on I don't know how many occasions, he decided that it's doable, so therefore it is. I got blasted on all kinds of other complete bullshit, called a liar, told that I don't care about doing anything (despite the fact that I work more weekends than I don't lately), that I take too long doing stuff on the weekend --- that things that take hours I should magically figure out a way to get them done in minutes apparently. Let's see what else, oh when I refuted things that he said, he either changed the subject, or laughed with contempt at me... as though my comments were beneath him.

Fuck this. So, I apparently really do need to find a job... especially since I'm sure that even if I get this stuff done, he'll fire me anyway. He's pulled that shit with me before already. Yay, I get to find a job in an area with 20% unemployment, fucking awesome. I haven't seen an IT job listed in the last two months. Honestly, why can't a single fucking solitary motherfucking thing go right in my fucking life? Honestly. Does anyone have a fucking explanation? I wasted half of my fucking weekend at work, missed spending part of the time that I get with my son... and he gets pissed off at me that I dared take yesterday off. Oh yeah, I apparently am out of the office half the time now... except for the part where I've left early like twice in the last two weeks, and despite working last weekend, I didn't take any extra time off then... which is the norm for me. So now when I have to do maintenance, I'm supposed to schedule it around everyone else and plan it during normal business hours... because like a responsible person, I've taken to doing those kinds of things AFTER FUCKING HOURS WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE! So when I asked him if he's willing to deal with upwards of 2-3 hours of downtime on occasion, he told me that nothing should take that long. He has no earthly idea what is involved in IT; and I told him that... I explained the lengthy processes that are involved in doing stuff, and he told me that they shouldn't take that long. There's no motherfucking understanding, nor is there any attempt to understand anything. I'm held to a bullshit sliding standard that I can't ever meet... because the motherfucker dislikes me for some unknown motherfucking reason.

So yeah... not only do I get to continue looking for a job, but I get to stress over the holidays and start packing my shit up just in case I get fired or don't find another job... so I can go move back in with my parents again. Goddamnit I hate my fucking life right now.

/rant

I don't expect any responses to any of that, I'm just fucking pissed right now. I work my fucking ass off for that company and I get treated like this. Fuck them all.

In other news, I completely forgot that the new Bush album came out two months ago... sounds damn good, best album since Sixteen Stone.

My main problem with the song is that portions of it sound like a ripoff of another one of their songs... A Tendency To Start Fires, which is from Razorblade Suitcase. Though I'm sure nobody cares about that tidbit. :24:

So because apparently an hour and a half of attacking me yesterday wasn't enough, I get to endure it some more in about an hour.

I should never have underestimated my ability to baffle people with bullshit. I confused the fuck out of him and talked circles around what he had to say; and used big words that he obviously had to think about what they meant. Basically I got out of it nearly completely unscathed, while leveling quite a few shots at him. I was just in our HR person's office for another reason, and she was telling me that it was obvious to her that he was taken aback at what I had to say. It was awesome. Even if I end up getting fired, I will lay waste to him in what will undoubtedly be an epic verbal confrontation, only I'll make sure it's in front of the entire office. :D

He's not a particularly intelligent individual; he's a school yard bully.

So fucking hilarious. My boss is the biggest hypocrite in the world. Not more than a few hours after I get blasted again (still not sure why we had the same conversation a second time) that all of my work can be done during normal business hours.... I have a server go down, and I'm told that I need to get it up and running again today and that I needed to stay late if it wasn't running by the time the day was over. I had half a mind to ask him why I couldn't just put it off until tomorrow morning because I was supposed to leave at 5, but I figured that would've made things worse. :24:

We have one of those too. I don't report to him. We are parallel in the food chain as we both report to the president. When I have enough of his shit I can tell him to fuck off and he backs off. Typical bully.... stand up to him and he leaves you alone.

So I ended up working until about midnight getting a replacement for that stupid server up and running. Blech. Then I'm here all day, and I *might* get to leave early tomorrow. But on the bright side, this happening means that I don't have to come in on Saturday, which will be only the second weekend that I haven't worked in the last six.

Good Lord, the coffee we have at work is disgusting.

I'm gonna have to start remembering to brew my own before I leave work in the mornings. Whoever starts the coffee has no clue what they're doing, and on top of that it's just generic shit, not even Folgers or anything.
