So to elaborate a little more on the work situation. The cable company I work for got sold in December. The new owners have kept quiet until yesterday. They let over 100 people from my region go and are closing 2 offices. My office wasn't affected this time, but still makes me a little nervous.

:tumble:

4/1 #1 PIF to @CountBoredom

Wifey woke me up at 6:00 AM and I noticed there was fresh white crap on the ground and it was 24 *F and my stomach felt like it was getting ready to barf (where's the freakin' coffee anyhoo?) and I just wanna go back to bed until Summer gets here. Bah, humbug! Wait... wrong season. Bug Humbah! Is that better? OK, gonna go rebuild the cow stanchion because some stupid bovine butthead ripped the door off during the night...
Later. Maybe...

4/1 - 2: Nope I am done..... Make a new plan and work on leaving this :censored:. Talk to another employee and sarcastically say I can not be sick. Tell another new employee that he pays us less than what we are worth so we stay literally hungry for food and come back. I was sitting at a break when I heard that one, the others a little dumbfounded so I said "That means he does not want you to eat well, does not want you to ever get a better car, or move to a better location, he does not care about your prosperity." Oh and where was my check sir? The one you said would be in your mailbox waiting for me and the others?~!!!!!! I don't need that to fix the 1,400 dollar tax mistake you made :censored::censored:. This is wrong that is wrong this is wrong that is wrong; no that is your preference, preference preference; did not tell him that he tried to skimp so bad that three of his long home runs are short by ten feet or more.................... end rant
:tumble:

Nope; Oh we are going out of business, oh we are going out of business, pushing with no breaks....... hmmmm just bought two trampolines and about to take your family of 10 on a weeks vacation, yep I am stupid we are broke and going out of business..... maybe end rand

As I write more I remember more, Oh so that is why I make $6 less an hour than anyone before me in your company who did less effective work, or that can be made elsewhere......... MMMMMM my blood is boiling

Tiggs, I think you have enough understanding of the Universe that if you will slow down your mind enough to actually think about it, you will know that nothing about your situation is going to change as long as you accept it the way it is. If you want something to change, you must do something different. It is insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. You cannot bend your boss to your will, but you can find some other place to work that will make you happy. Maybe that boss won't wake up until you are gone, but by then, he won't be a problem in your life any more. Move forward...

@tiggerrts I feel your pain. I can't say my situation at my previous job was just like yours, but I also had a boss that had no care or concern for employees or their well being. I had to work sick and hurt more times than I can count. I was in a wreck one morning on my way to work, hurt my back and neck, and was expected to be back at work the very next day. I fell out of one of their trucks and pretty sure I broke my tailbone. I was pretty much told suck it up because they couldn't afford to have me out injured. I took a lot of crap for over 7 years, but I finally walked away. Best feeling ever.

Back online (sort of)...

Went out to run some errands earlier and then spent some time this afternoon upgrading a couple of hard drives. Once I finish copying 220 GB of data, I should be able detach the old, dying drive, and close up the case. Then all I have to do is copy another 100-ish GB from another drive, change the scheduled update targets (the new drive is replacing an old deep storage drive that his been running pretty much continually since 2004), and I'll be done. :ohmy:

Tiggs and Dale, all I can say is that bosses/management often stink. :(

@tiggerrts : start looking for another job. Really. You will get more and more upset with your current situation until you get a burn out. And that is horrible. I had a burn out several years ago and since then, whenever I don't feel comfortable at my work, I look for something else. Off course no job will ever be perfect, but there's a difference in not being perfect or just being frustrating.
I have a picture on my wall to which I hold myself (for my team) and my bosses:
boss-vs-leader.jpg

@Fuzzy Thunderbear : I hope you'll get some better weather soon. Here it was sunny today (finally).
Anyhooo, I'm off to bed (had a few drinks with friends, sleep is needed), so goodmorningafternoonnite11am everybody!
