My boss is an idiot. He only hears what he wants to hear. So yesterday (which is deadline day...the busiest day of the week) the smaller of the two "Big City Newspapers" calls us to say that we can't use the B-Link program for sending ads anymore. It's not working...we gotta find a new way. They suggest this new way that costs us money each time we send them something. I'm like.. WOAH.. gotta talk to the Big Tuna before I can move on that. It's not up to me. So I talk to the Tuna and he talks to the newspaper and sets up a meeting for today. In the meantime I talk to the bigger newspaper in town to find out what the deal is with them. They've got a system that costs us nothing in place, while they are setting up another system that, once operational, will be way cool. So we're all good there. Now...today there was this meeting...where once the newspaper people tell the Tuna that the Competition is using this method and likes it the Tuna decides we'll do it too and he calls up and pays for this. Never mind the fact that I point out that lesser city newspapers use a different method that is EXACTLY THE SAME as this paid method but COSTS US NOTHING. Nevermind the fact that there's no BACKUP IN PLACE should this method have a problem... Whatever, it's his company...he can cut spending by getting shitter insurance for us...he can cut spending by not giving us raises... he can run the place into the ground by spending money on shit like playoff tickets and this lame assed program.
I'm so out of here... That's what I said at 2:22 PM

Ugh
So this chick here at works wants me to try this stuff you add it to water and you're supposed to drink like 3 to 4 LITERS a day! I can't even drink a whole liter of pop in a day and they expect me to drinkg 3 to 4 liters of WATER WITH CRAP IN IT in a day! that's like a WHOLE GALLON OF WATER IN ONE DAY! I'll be floating away! Well, this stuff makes the water look like you're drinking olive oil. It's like green with little floaty things in it. The whole point is that the stuff makes you feel better, more energized...clean out your system etc. All it is is this powder of different kinds of grasses and weeds and tree bark etc... with some drops of this ph stuff. According to dude who made the stuff we eat so much stuff that's bad for us that our bodies become too acidic etc... blah blah blah...whatever. To tell you the truth, the stuff doesn't make the water taste bad at all. It tastes like water with floatys in it. It's the powder of floatys that make me wanna gag...you get this throat full of grime going down.. gag gag gag!
