For those of y'all who are employed, gripe about your job. Or talk about how you love it. Either or.

I've got two weeks left and my crazed workaholic boss is squeezing every last bit out of me. I don't know if I'll make it.

I'm w-a-a-y overqualified for my job. But they were willing to hire me when I hadn't worked in 10 years (serious illness & rehab), so hey.

Believe it or not, it irks me that we don't have work all the time. We're supposed to come up with good ways to amuse ourselves. I guess you know what mine is...

My boss is so nice and smiley that it's nearly impossible to dislike her. But it wasn't so hard yesterday when she said she'd be back at noon so I could leave to go meet Lois Lowry, who I worshipped growing up, at a once-in-a-lifetime booksigning, and then she (my boss) didn't get back until 12:40 and Lois left (how cool. My band will be called Lois Left) at 1 and I got there at 1:20 and I cried real tears even though I was there in time to pick up some signed books she had left. Ah, the ennui of summer jobs.

Lawd. My company has an internet filter, which for a while blocked ThreeWayAction, and then didn't. All of a sudden it's now blocking DamnHellAssKings and MightyBigTV. What do they expect me to do all day?
