I start another week at the job that I’m trying to leave.

I’m finding myself with a small problem: I just don’t give a crap anymore.

Despite working my ass off (under more than adverse conditions), it became quite clear to me last week that it won’t matter what I do around here, I’ll still be considered “expendable”. I got chastised because I wasn’t doing one little thing (random filing, something that is not important to the everyday, truly important work to do around here) regardless of the super-human workload management that I’ve been doing in its place. It’s a matter of the fact that no matter what quality of a job that I do, it will never be recognized or compensated. You could be the ideal, model employee or you could be a complete slacking loser and your raise every year will be the same no matter what you do.

I called the property management company and I won’t be liable for the charges since I didn’t own the property at the time of the storm damage.

SWEET!

All I have to do is call the closing company and they’ll take care of everything. Continue reading →

Well, the job front is really picking up.

Had an initial phone interview with a “leading telecommunications company” for a position there. I would really love to have a job like that where I support only ONE person. And it would be about $12,000 more per year than what I’m making now. Oh yeah.

Granted, jobs aren’t always about the money, but by Gord it sure helps!

They say the job is fast paced – but I don’t know how it could be any faster than this one. Egads. I have 12 fast paced people who want me to do everything for them. Doing everything for one person would be a breeze.

A question to all my friends:

I received in the mail a bill from my association in the amount of $250 to “cover the amount of damages not paid by insurance” in regards to severe storm damage that the buildings/etc. of my townhome complex received in August/September 2005.

I bought my townhome in January 2006.

Does the responsibility of paying the $250 bill fall on me? Or does the asshat who owned the unit prior to me have to pay this.

I don’t think that I should have to pay since I didn’t own the property at the time of the damage. However, I have no idea how these things work.

Ideas? Answers? Bueller?
