(blank position) is not avaliable at this time...

well, there it is, we can all laugh at this (http://forum.helluvafast.com/showthread.php?t=2882) post :rofl:

that was one fucked up job....and as of this morning i have resigned and friday 4/8 will be my last day...

never, EVER, have i worked in such a (what i think) hostle environment....for the first time, i felt so uncomfortable that i busied myself with unnecessary work just to stay away from the boss...and the only reason NOT to mess up is to avoid confrontation which would only make you more nervous and lead you to mess up even more....

on top of that, i have never heard so much profanity and huge tempers in a day from little things that could be easily solved in a reasonable and professional manner...that was the main reason why i quit...

my future in that company would had to work directly beside that boss. if i were to report to her with ideas or numbers not to her liking, i would not want to be the receiving side of the fiery wrath from satan's daughter when any other person could easily discuss it professionally...i use to think professionalism could be easily acquired and you would pretty much know how to act after a year of part-time work, but after this, IT COULD BE AN ENDLESS LESSON SPANNING TWO LIFETIMES for some.

this was quite a learning experience. the lesson is to either: not accept a place with this type of management or never to become like this if i were to be someone's boss

well, it will be the first time in about 9 years with such a long break without work... :rofl: , i guess i'll manage and just concentrate on school...i AM NOT going to look for another part time job unless i get so bored that i feel like killing myself...and the only job hunting i'll do will be career wise.

now that i have so much time, i can hang out more with you guys but can't spend too much because i'm now on my savings....that means no more ray's, turkey, tuna sandwich/pizza/fajitas/quasadillas days...nor will i bring up a sept '05 reno trip (unless i desperatly need to gamble my life savings :rofl: )...or any minute gambling because every penny counts........NOW!

-ray, with the update on his life and to announce that i will continue to post more on helluvafast dot com

did you try to get a new VCR? but too late for that now. I already said it, and I think you just wanted to hear you weren't making a wrong decision. Its really preference, as there are many people who has worked for this person for years. But you do have a choice in life and you can choose not to work for this person, or even confront this person about their attitude. But in summary, I see this as not something you had a passion and inner desire to do (like when you used to make coffee). So this job/career environment needed to be perfect or close to it, since the work wasn't really what you wanted to do (make coffee).

it is a learning experience, and next time maybe you can try the VCR approach.

~Ray, thinks a VCR could have changed it all.

You'll be fine....it took me a long time to understand, but work, especially for a corporation, is just work. Work at one point made my life so negative that it almost destroyed many relationships outside of the office. That's how bad it got...I brought that crap home in my head everyday. Now that layoffs, etc. and all this crap are going on, I realized the bigger picture and what's more important in life than just a job, and the funny thing is I'm doing better at my job now! We'll see how long this lasts, but my new perspective on things has at least made me partially a better/happier person. :idea:

Look at this as a positive learning experience. The person who had the position before you probably had the same feelings you did, that person just stuck it out for a much longer time (and probably suffered while doing so), while you got out early (I believe that's a smart move, considering your goal was to be there for long term). At least you found out early and didn't waste too much time. Now you can explore other options out there. I agree with you on the shitty hours my work has, but a ex coworker of my (used to work at a public acct firm, now she works private earning much more) "you have to pay your dues in the beginning if you want to be successful down the line"...I guess I'm paying my "dues" right now. To her the "dues" meant cramping a sh*t load of knowlegde into your head in short amount of time (i.e. 60+ hour work weeks) for a few years, then going out there to find your comfortable job....I have to agree with her, but nothings...guaranteed either.....!! :bash: Study hard, as you are doing and just get your damn CPA! HA HA. j/p :big_grin:

ok, here's an update...

i'm gonna say...."oopsies, just kidding" :big_grin:

she wanted the "talk" with me today about what i said yesterday...in a nutshell she pretty much apologized (in her way) for the way she assigned the task to me...we negotiated lighter work hours so that's better on my studies...

so after the talk also after thinking about how broke i'm gonna be, especially needing to pay for car insurance, gasoline, health insurance, hair cuts, the occasional restaurants, probably a new cell phone, and other car maintance items; i don't think my savings can handle the whole 9 months of unemployment...

after thinking about it, we sat down, and i said that i WILL NOT be staying here forever and only helping them out until i'm done with school...so i'll still be persuing my dream :big_grin:

so, yup.....that's my future with the company

but thanks guys for your understanding and comments

-ray, said "just kidding"

[KHRISTINE]

then we should all celebrate for the decision of you staying at your job :thumb_up: (and this is not an excuse :big_grin: )

ok, here's an update...

i'll do a anti-"just kidding"

glad to be out of that fucking place. each day i dread walking through the damn doors. each day i rant more. and each day my liver feels more of my suffereing.

so today was my SUPER DUPER last day at that hell hole. thank God, Jesus, Alah, Buddah, Brahmah, Nature, Superman, Mr Spock, Mr Clean and Gosa Lagoom that today was the last and final day.

originally, i thought i was the only wuss there and couldn't handle it BUT after 3 hours of important grapevine talk, i learned that the other person in the accounting department has tried quitting too. this person started a month before me and tried quitting after 2 weeks of working, which was approximately the same as me (quiting within 2 weeks). the employer compromised with him/her to stay a few more weeks until a new person was hired (me), and maybe a bit longer to train the new person to continue the business and accounting.

but in 2 weeks, i said i was quitting and so his/her plans failed. i have officially gave my resignation twice and both times were a step earlier then him/her. he/she will attempt again, and i'll reaffirm how much we hate that place so no convincing will prolong the torture.

so what's wrong with the company? from the other employee, he/she mentioned that it was the management. he/she was cussed out for things beyond their control. when the boss can't manage and control the company, the employee will just get yelled at. and why? because the boss has no ability to control jack shit

the last person who was in that company working on the accounting was there for awhile, but it's clear that he/she left because of the insanity, and i wouldn't be surprised if there was some embezzling going on. that accounting system is so archaic even i could do accounting tricks on it and i've been exposed to a small portion of the program.

all in all, i'm glad i'm fucking gone. and from what i was told during the little conversation that i had with my coworker, he/she wouldn't mind the few months of unemployment just to get the fuck out of there.

i know i can put up with a load of shit and not let it get to me, but GOD damn this was some fucked up company. i'm not usually an evil person, but i hope that place fails. seriously there is no reason why anyone should be treated that way.

-ray, /rant

some ramblings from me... was it so bad even knowing you don't care about the job? I mean you could swear back and what not... lol... what are they going to do? fire you? I feel there is enormous amounts of freedom when you don't care about a job... and especially if its probably not going to be listed on your resume.

Also, I've noticed.... or recently took notice.. maybe in article... that EVERYONE always has a retard for a boss/supervisor/manager, and that they feel they can always do a better job than them... I'll leave that thought there... =D

different senerio here, my ex-boss' reputation would be on the line here

i (personally, meaning my example) would disagree here. because i was a student, i looked up to my boss at my old work. mostly because i was naive in accounting.

and if we're talking about a step higher, the boss-boss, (president) of the company. i totally respect him. he's one of those *street smarts guys* that carried out well. able to sell ice to an eskimo :thumb_up: . but each person's boss is different. there would be times where you wouldn't understand why things were done the way they were, but my overall impression of my previous employer was an A+ will do business again, seriously

-ray, had a one in a million-experience; much different from others
