Stupid Job

Post by juncmodule »

I'm at work right now. I hate my job. It is so boring. I am quiting next Wednesday. I have saved up enough money to go a month without working. I will be able to do nothing but work on my game. Weeee!!!

I'm a lab assistant at the college I go to and I have people asking me dumb questions that 9 times out of 10 are not the fault of the students but, the fault of our sys admin. Things like two different shortcuts to Microsoft Word, one that works, one that doesn't. In the lab I'm in today the idiots actually removed the task bar. It is all so frustrating because they make these changes over the network, and I can't do anything about it. They are supposed to be "security" measures. ARGHHH!!! Stupid people.

Okay, I'm done ranting...

anybody else hate their job?

Actually Staples wasn't doing all that great. They were, but then things kinda went poo after 9/11, most places are just starting to bounce back. I quit not long after I was on the remodel team. They started changing a lot of things with the remodel because they had their budget cut. We were the 2nd largest store (profit wise)in our city. They still don't have discounts, I still have a lot of friends that work there. It is a good job though. So you work in electronics then? Sold any plans yet? I assume they have those in your state.

Uhh...usually employees get discounts on merchandise from franchise stores such as STAPLES. It may be junc, that you have the odd owner or manager who decides not to put a discount as an employee benefit. On the other hand, you might have a benefit smg doesn't have. Check on one of your paychecks or ask a co-worker...they should know.

I don't work there anymore so it doesn't really matter. I worked for a corporate store. It is very possible that his region just handles things differently. All the better for him.
