More DumbCo Hijinx. I was just walking down the corridor to the men's room and over lunch, posters emblazoned with the words "Values" "Beliefs" and "Vision" followed by bullshit lists have been put on the walls. This is the equivalent of redecorating the Titanic as it capsizes. Somebody shoot me up with some tranqs and wake me when it's all over please.

DUMBCO obviously doesn't monitor your Internet interactions the way they do mine

We were issued our new Office Manual today. 194 pages of You Can't Do This, You Can't Do That. I am going to delete MeCha from my favourites at work, the Internet Use policy is draconian and MeCha is too much temptation if it's just a click away. Work-related stuff only. Bastards.

Also, remember that lady with the insanely overdecorated cube? The whiteboardin her cube says "Next mercury Retrograde," followed by a date. I guess she's an astrologer and that's how the company is making decisions now.

(really, everything here is fucked up eight ways from Tuesday and their first thought is "You know what we need? Posters!")

Sounds like your job search is going about as well as mine. Good luck finding that life boat to escape Titanic, Inc.

I've already committed career suicide and I'm Dead Man Walking, which is fitting 'cuz i feel like a zombie here anyway.

You know jon, I do other things besides drink beers, I'm not sure what they are but there are long stretches of my life where I am not drinking beer, which I hold up as evidence. Sad, thirsty, evidence.

Jon, those posters knocked me back on my coal minin' ass! Thanks bro!

Say, can you bring home some copies of those motivational posters, hon? The principal's had a bug up his butt about bulletin boards (parents' night approaches, don'tcha know)...

(DW, I've seen your evidence, and ruled it inadmissable...)

Mercury in retrograde is, I think, what those types live in fear of. Everything is supposed to go wrong then.

Just get outta there, jonmc?

If only it were that easy.

No degree. No skills. And I'm sick and tired of fast food and/or retail. Waiting to be laid off or fired is the smarter move since unemployment will buy me some time.

Anyway, I wonder if there's any job I'm qualified for that I'd be able to stand for more than a few years.
