Work is really beginning to frost my cookies.

One of the few joys I had at work was being able to listen to Yahoo’s Launchcast Radio. It was a superb alternative to listening to the local radio stations here, which tended to play the same 3 songs all day long. It helped morale, made our work environment a more pleasant one, and it gave me the pleasure of listening to songs I hadn’t heard in years.

They blocked it. The stupid little trolls in network admin blocked it. I mean what are they gonna do next, block the air as well??

I have to wonder if this job simply lives to aggravate the ever living crap out of me. Just the other day I got a notice that all employees would soon be required to take a “diversity training” seminar. Huh? So I guess that means they’re gonna tell us how we shouldn’t refer to Muslims as ragheads, or refer to fellow coworkers as wops, kikes or greasers, or grope women we find attractive, and so on. While they’re at it they might as well show us how to properly hold a knife and fork when eating dinner, or teach us to remember to flush the toilet after we’ve finished our business.

For this I have to waste 8 hours of my time. @#$% job.

I remember when I graduated college a lifetime ago how full of hope I was. I had gone to college to get a good education so I could get the kind of job that I’d find satisfying and rewarding, to fulfill what had been a lifelong dream for me, or at the very least so I could avoid having to take a deadend, soul sucking job, such as the one I’ve been doing now for almost 7 long years. Yep, things sure worked out the way I hoped they would, huh?

Ugh, where’s a speedball when you need one?
