| Have you ever actually hated your job. Like, I mean, completely detest all the people there, the processes, your desk, the office, the whole "system", and getting up in the morning?
I'm in that boat right now. And while I only have three days left until I leave and start at Yahoo, I hate this job. It's hard to explain to the younger generation, but I'll try anyway. A little background first: I'm a software quality assurance engineer for a mobile (cell phone) wallpapers and ringtones company (FunMobility). I'm in the gaming industry kind of, falling more in entertainment now. It just gets me into Comic Con and WonderCon for free. Anyway, I had to take on this job when my career move (physically, I moved to NorCal) fell through. The company laid off 38 of us, 55 total employees. Ok, gritty aside. I fucking hate work for FunMobility. There is no freakin' structure. It's like working for a company that's a chicken with its head cut off and driving on the freeway the wrong way during rush hour on New Year's Eve. I spend my time now avoiding work, and I can't quit early because I have rent coming up. It makes me really depressed to have to come here everyday until Friday, and even worse the last two months. I'm used to being worked to my full capacity. I work on one phone per day, and it's fucking long and annoying to have to stretch that phone over the whole day. On top of that, I never know what's going on with anything. I don't know when I have work, I don't know when work is done, I don't know what happens to projects I've worked on. Besides the money, I think the only thing that kept me here was free lunch twice a week. (I earn $18/hour here, in case you're wondering; I'll be making $22/hour when I go to Yahoo.) I hate that my coworkers constantly ask me for answers to the simplest questions that they should fucking know. How the hell did they get hired, and more important, how are they still employed? I have one coworker that thinks she's my friend, but she doesn't even know I'm gay. All of my friends know that. And, just because we carpool does not make us friends. She's just supplement to paying gas for the minivan, and the whole saving the environment thing. She says that I have to come back and visit her from time to time. Um, no. And, I'm not going to break her bubble and let her know that a) I'm gay (she brings up marriage a lot), and b) I have no intentions of visiting her outside of an IM conversation. I mean, really. Like a fucking question every ten minutes. For nine hours (1 hour is lunch), every fucking day. It drives me crazy. It's like they all fear for their jobs and don't want to do things when they find something wrong with the code. Ah, I don't know. I guess, I should be glad that I'm leaving in three days, that San Francisco Pride is this weekend, and that my friend asked me to be a witness to his wedding at SF City Hall this Friday. But, it's just utter torture. Ok, rant done. |

| I don't hate my coworkers, though I despise my boss. Don't know if that helps. How goes the job at Yahoo? I do hope that you are liking it better than FunMobility. |
