The Jizzy.

So I didnt get back in here to talk any more about the job over the weekend, but that was because I didnt really have a ton to say.

My manager is a BITCH in serious need of a leave of absence to deal with whatever personal shit keeps her on the phone six hours out of the day,

... the actual job would be pretty easy if everybody stopped contradicting each other in telling me how to do it,

... and if I could just stop playing Words with Friends all damn night, I might be able to get up early enough to not have to run out the door every morning, trying not to be late.

The main thing Im not digging about it is the way everything is so heavily micromanaged. Everyone takes their morming and afternoon 15-minute breaks at the same time and you better not look like you gonna try to stretch it to 16. Everyone also takes lunch at noon and the same rule applies. I feel like Im punching a clock, even though Im not. On top of that, my manager sits right next to me (imagine you and your team sitting at an oversized, counter-height dinner table: Im in the left corner, with her adjacent to me, at the head of the table). So if I touch my cell for any reason, type an email or do anything that doesnt consist of short strokes and phone calls, she's right on top of me to see it. Not a huge deal, because everyone has to do SOME of that at some point, but she has a tendency to comment on every damn thing. She went on a soapbox today about how she doesnt hear anyone on the phone and Im like bitch, Im on hold! Re-fucken-lax! LOL

The team is pretty cool though, with the exception of one chick I just rebuke, and my new work buddy looks like George Clooney. I'll take it LOL.

I thought a little about it today and tried not to get too irritated at all the structure. I think it's quite possible that I've just been spoiled by all my previous gigs - you know, with all the flexibility and freedom. Plenty of other people have probably worked in environments like that their whole careers. Its just gonna take some adjusting. I mean, I guess having casual Fridays, 2 weeks off for Christmas and a raise around that same time is enough of a tradeoff for me to at least TRY LOL. Shit.

I have had a couple other things on my mind this weekend, but I have a paper to write, so I guess it'll have to hold. I aint quite worked em all out anyway, but I'll get around to it.

Yall be cool.
