Life is pretty good at the moment. I could complain about having multiple bosses at work - or at least multiple people who think it's their job to give me direction and tasks and check status multiple times during the day. I could complain about all of them being at the company for under six months and I've been here for 9 years and have had to train them on everything. I could complain about getting paid less than all of them. I could complain about having to work Eastern Time and Mountain Time.... but in the end... its a job. It pays me well, and it is shaping some professional and personal skills like patience, accountability, and organization. It's prepping me for the next best thing. And it's a job - it's not my life. My life is amazing. Great relationship. Decent kids. Amazing friends. So I could complain... but for some reason, today I'll be grateful for the challenge. (But don't talk to the me from yesterday evening - he was pissed and wrote and re-wrote several emails removing snarky rants about his bosses stupidity). Cheers all!
EDIT: Holy crap... I completely forgot about this. I occasionally make funny name signs for coworkers to hang in their cubes/offices - they usually come from conversations or funny things said in meetings. I was just reminded by a coworker that I made a sign for him a few years ago when he was having similar problems with bosses....
I've had this problem in a few workplaces but the worst had to be when one of those bosses was so incompetent that she never asked for clarification when the big boss said things. It got to a point where she was directing the staff in the most nonsensical way that I flipped out and left. After spending most of the day explaining to her that she had misunderstood and I was certain that the big boss actually meant something different because my real boss had mentioned it in passing I just kind of lost it. I've never actually done that before. Granted the next day when my real boss and the big boss asked me wtf happened I still got told off for not following direction from dumb boss but it was worth it.
This was just a seasonal job and I was one of very few employees who actually showed up to work so it was a very good time for me to lose it. I think that's why I did it, I mean every other job I actually needed but this one I really didn't give a fuck about. It was very freeing.
