Terry's New Office

·


I am so jealous of his new office space. Its gigantic and amazing. I think I am going to ditch my cube and just work from there.

The Job I Love From Hell

·

I seriously can never escape. I love what I do, I find it totally rewarding, but I really work all day everyday. This week I was supposed to be on vacation, including last thursday but everyday I worked for huge portions of the day. Yesterday for 12 hours which is 2 hours over my normal work day if I wasn't on vacation. I wake up with work phone calls and I stop working from bed as I go to sleep where I dream about work problems and then wake up to a work phone call.

In December I lost 4 days when they expired. Now I am losing about 60+ hours by April 1 because there is no time for me to take vacation. Everytime I try there is some mega project that needs to be done right now followed by a bunch of little things that are helping other people but add up.

I really can't ignore any of them it seems. Everytime, I ignore email, I just get a phone call. I keep asking myself why I am doing this when there are plenty of jobs out there that are better fit to my sanity...

Moving On Up

·


I got offered and office again thanks to that hard work of one my favorite people at work. I also got a briefcase from @terry and @joe for my birthday. I am feeling more professional already although its going to be hard to give up the backpack. Maybe it was the only thing that kept me looking young ;)

Shitty Work Environment

·


Today I moved from a nice office to a shitty cube that literally collects snow through the ghetto, freezing window. I am seriously feeling like this is the beginning of me finding a job elsewhere. I can't believe that at the point I am at in my career I still don't have a pleasant work environment. Today made me want to leave Buffalo altogether.

100 Hours Left

·

Massive project at work with about 100 hours remaining and I still don't have the exact final specs. I can't wait for phase 1 to be over.
