As much as I am always complaining about my job and the soulsucking activities contained therein I am in no hurry to leave the company where I am working because the prison of my job allows me the freedom in my life. I know that what I do is worthless. I know that I achieve [...]
I have come to terms with the fact that I am in a soul sucking line of work. I get a pretty good (read: bad) souljob pretty much 5 days a week. Weather it be coddling managers and telling them what they want to hear or kissing the ass of some douchebag customer, it is pretty much nonstop. [...]
One of the nice things about being at a remote office away from my company’s headquarters is that I don’t have to deal with the various bullshit that comes with having a bunch of “bosses” all in one place.

In a month’s time I will be officially douching myself from “the Whale’s Vagina”. There is no other way to say it. Actually, there is another way to say it, in a month I will no longer call San Diego home. I have been living here for over 7 years and leaving a place that [...]

I just endured a meeting at work today that was 40 solid minutes of nonsense. My manager went on and on about sweet-baby-jesus-knows-what and everyone listening had a mix of confusion and annoyance on their face. He opened it up to the audience and looked over to me for input. “What do you think” he [...]
“Success” in America has less to do with actual talent than any time in recent history. We have forsaken competence, responsibility and intelligence in our country and replaced those attributes with shallow illusions of each.
