Today's Entry:
After a long and cruel ordeal, I quit my job today!! Ok, so I professionally resigned, effective immediately, but I like saying, "I quit my job". It has more of a rebellious ring to it, y'know?
After months of dealing with crazy, condescending morons who wouldn't know logic if it walked up to them, introduced itself by name, and then slapped the holy crap out of them.
Ahhh, well I just had to get that off my chest. Now that I have, I plan to do mothing but study, and perform fun and mindless activities. Wait. I mean, enjoy fun activities. Perform just seems so formal and surgeon-like.
Well, it's on to the next, big adventure!

Life
As I sit here on a Sunday, I am faced with an unusual feeling - dread. I realize that I am experiencing something in my life that I thought I would not have happen to me. I hate my job. I know, I know, join the club, right? But the thing is, I never truly hated my job. I strongly disliked some people I worked with or hated having some creepy, ugly freak o'nature guy's hand on my thigh but I never felt dread on a Sunday at the thought of going to work on a Monday.
Is this the onset of an early midlife crisis? Is it that my tolerance levels have decreased, as if that's possible...)? Am I going to be like so many other people I know and end up being bitter about my life's professional direction? I really thought by this age I'd be past dealing with crap like dictator-like, overbearing, pompous, prejudiced asses. Hmmm, I think I just insulted an ass somewhere...
Anyway, let me be clear. To be honest, I really like the type of job that I have. I enjoy the core aspects of my job. It's the dumbass people that I hate. It's not that I'm perfect either, but I don't intentionally set out to hurt people. Granted, my sense of humor may be seen as inappropriate at times, but that's the difference between humor and a job. Humor can be subjective so I understand if not everyone finds the same thing funny. Work, on the other hand, should be different...y'know?
Oh well. I guess I'll just have to suck up the fact that I have yet another job that I'm going to leave as soon as a good opportunity presents itself. Is it too much to ask that there be a job opening that matches my skill set, and one that doesn't allow donkeys to manage people and actually thinks that diversity is a good thing (btw, and understand that diversity is NOT simply affirmative action and hiring a bunch of PMS'ers - which is a direct quote by a former boss!).
Monster & HotJobs and I are abou to become the best o'friends! Bring it on.
Ok. Vent over. Drinking starts. I guess that's one way to prepare for Manic Monday which also happens to be the first day of my Fall semester class - Marketing Strategies! Man. Do I know how to rock a Monday or what!?!?
