Lame Happenings

I was going to stop taking lame jobs or at least stop whining about
them. It is impossible to do when lame crap keeps happening. Here are
two quick examples:

1. The man I was assisting left his dirty coffee mug and cereal bowl
on my desk when I was away at lunch to imply "take this stuff down to
kitchen when you get back". Seriously? I have worked for many
'executives' before and this thing is by far the rudest thing I have
ever encountered. My job description said "answer phones and set up
meetings" not "clean the dishes and tidy the kitchen". Especially when
there are 5 interns to do it instead of me. I suppose only in the film
business does a master's degree get you a maid's work.

2. The person I indirectly report to found out that I want a creative
position. She had a handful mundane tasks to get done: organizing the
kitchen cabinets, old documents, cleaning the supply closet ... Etc.
So when she's explaining to me what she needs me to do, she goes "I
need you to use your creativity and organize the cabinets and clean
the supply room". Really ??? You can't be serious. Wow. Getting
creative with the food supply? You're right. It is going to be a life
changing opportunity for me to clean your kitchen cabinets.
This is too much. I think I might be ready for a career change already.

Insane, huh? Stay tuned for more crap!!
