Problem with minionsI have a minion that came to us as a work experience kid when he was at the wee tender age of 14/15 (don't ask me for specifics, that's just creepy) and when he first started I was so against having to deal with these young dickheads that I did not want anything to do with them.

However he changed my tune pretty quick as he was so awesome, much more knowledgeable than other kids his age, and was willing to work and learn, and not just try to be a smart ass know it all like all the ones we've had since.
I was so impressed with him that I pushed my boss to hire him as a casual and eventually take him on as a full time trainee.

To cut a long story short he was awesome to start of with, but after time and especially lately he's slacked off a lot and let me down. To put it into perspective, he's like a cute little puppy that was awesome and house trained for a year, and then for no reason has decided to shit all over your stuff.

Seeing as he's technically my responsibility as I was the one to push to have him in the first place and he's essentially meant to be the one to take over my position when I'm not there, it feels like s real kick in the teeth personally when my boss chews me out for all the fuck ups he's done.

Seeing as he's the cheapest tech we have he also the one first offered up for jobs as its far more profitable for us to send him out on a job than it is say me. However, if he fucks the job up and costs us in unpaid work it's still my fault for not training him properly.

Now I have to say that there is nothing wrong with the kid (apart from being a bit blonde and dopey some times) and we hang out a lot outside of work. Now that may have influenced me a lil in our working environment, but it's not the first time I've been close friends to someone I've worked with so before you tell me that's the issue; it really isnt.

This kid has been with us for a couple of years now, and up till the last few months he been one of if not the best probe tech we've had. Maybe he's picked up on that and let it go to his head a lil, or hes gotten a lil to relaxed in his position, but anyway hes started slacking off. A lot. Unfortunately due to a severe medical emergency I've had for the past couple of weeks I haven't been able to keep him in line as much as I would have. Because of that my boss has noticed and gotten pisses that my probe isn't doing what he expects.

....Wow, I just realized how long I've gone with my boring shit without a pause....so....how are you?

BlerghSo after a week spent in hospital in intensive care, then another week recuperating from that, my doc's have finally decided I'm well enough to go back to work on Monday. I've been going completely stir crazy stuck at home not being able to do much of anything, but I'm finding I'm really not looking forward to going back to work anyway. I already have nearly 3 full weeks of work to catch up on without my boss screwing me around and dumping more contracts on us than we have techs to look after them, and yet still doesn't seem to see why that would stress me out.
On top of that it seems that the minimal amount of physical exertion I've been doing this week is leaving me more wrecked everyday than I expected. I sleep for over 12 hours a day and still wake up exhausted.

Does anyone know of an opposite drug to Alpha Brain? My prob is not the dreaming side, like Gavin, I'm having nothing but super long intensive, and often completely lucid dreams, that leave me more drained when I wake up. Really don't like taking any more drugs than I already am, but I'm starting to go even more crazy when I can't figure out if I have actually done something before, or if I just dreamed it!

I was actually going to title this "contemplating murder" but then realised I tend to do that a lot in my day to day life anyway...which probably should worry me more than it does.

Also I'm starting to question how good my sense of smell is after some Australian scientists discovered psychopaths have a bad sense of smell.
www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health-fitness/psyc...
What actually interested me more than that however was the comment that they just went and found some 'non-criminal' psychopaths living in the community to test on. Finding out that we have random psycho's living in our community does explain a lot of people I deal with everyday at work...

So yeah, sorry for the long and non sensible rambling post, but hey where else on the internet am I going to find other like minded crazy adorable people?

This is what happens when I don't sleepWoke up at 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep so started randomly browsing and doing things on the net. By 7am I stopped and looked at the tabs I had opened:
I've now been ordained as a minister, and are extremely knowledgeable on the best ways to dispose of human corpses.
I worry myself sometimes

I think I may have resigned...I love my job.
I wanted to preface things with that.
Although, to be more accurate I guess what I should say is "I love my work"
I always wanted to help people, but on the same tangent I never liked people that much. People, especially customers are assholes, and this job gave me a way of helping them without directly interacting them.
I used to love my work place, my work mates and what I was physically doing made me feel appreciated and needed.
Lately my work environment has changed, its not as welcoming and easy going as before, and despite the increase in my demand and workload I'm starting to feel less appreciated than before.
So now I'm left with a choice - stick it out until I get pregnant, giving me an extra 12 months leeway, or cut my losses now and move on?
