I went back to work yesterday after a 10 day vacation, and I have to say that working for a living really sucks.  I know everyone has to do it but every once in a while don’t you just wonder how in the hell you got to this point in your life.  For me it’s almost an everyday thought.  What kinds of really stupid decisions have I made that made me end up working in a shit hole like this?  I have always been a little antisocial at work, the kind of person who just wants to be left alone to do their job.  There are a couple of things that that gets me. One is that it doesn’t get me promoted because I don’t socialize with the right people, which is okay because I would never want to be a supervisor in the place I work now.  And it leaves me in a position where there is someone crawling up my ass every second that I am there. 

Where I work you have to sign out to go to the bathroom, and if you do sign out to pee there is someone there to tell you that you need to sign back in and take some calls.  I just say no what I need to do is go pee and walk away.  When you have a twelve year old who has been promoted to supervisor it really goes to their head and all of a sudden they think that they control the world.  I could truly care less about anything they say to me because the threat of being fired or written up just doesn’t have any affect on my life at all.  The problem is that there are other people who work there that this is the best job they have ever had and the supervisors are up their asses every second because they know that they need this shitty job.  Now I am not trying to suggest that I do an inadequate job for this company, because I don’t.  I understand that they are paying me to do a job and I do that just to the best of my ability every hour I am there.  I just question the stupid decisions I have made in my life that led me down the road to work in such a crappy environment.

I am sure that everyone questions the choices they have made once in a while.
