I swear I hate my job! Well, more like who I work for and some that I work with. I work for a small surveying company and can't begin to tell you all the crap that goes on here.
There are three partners. The first has a Jeckel and Hyde thing going on, the second is going senial, and the third is just an outright a$$hole with no decernable people skills.
On any given day the first one will be throwing papers all over the work table that's in the middle of the office, about 10' from my desk, and be in a general BAD mood that nobody can talk to him.
The senial one is in the field most of the time and still surveying at 64. He's usually ok except that he'll start talking endlessly about "back in my day".
The third guy is by far the worst. He's a total and I mean TOTAL asshole! His thing is to just belittle people and point out all of their short commings/mistakes, which he makes countless many more. For instance I spelled a word wrong on a plat (fumble fingered while going to fast, my fault but it was obvious how it happened) he made a point to tell everyone "jokingly" about it. I just said "Well, when you're perfect let me know so I can ask you." UGHHH!!!
Then there's a recent college grad ('03) who's the biggest momma's boy I've ever met! He faxes everything to his mom before signing it. He won't even try to take the time to understand it he just faxes it and says its all legal mumbo jumbo I have no clue what it says. We also have to tell him several, times over how to do something. He just has no confidence. I'm convinced that his parents have such a tight grip on him that he never really gained any self confidence. I try to tell him how to do somehting and instead of doing it he just says that sounds stupid and does it his way ot whines about having to put any extra effort into it. WTF has happeing in college these days, aren't they being taught a work ethic????
Then there's the wannabe partner-backstabbing-weesel!! He'll come out to the guy's computer behind me and look at girls online and then go tell the head partner about it to look good. He burned me too, saying that it was "ok" with him that I chatted with my gf during the day on AIM. I never really said much we just found it nice to be able to stay in touch during the day. Of course he wnt and told on me about that. I found out from the secretary whom he told from some reason.
Then there's the head partner's nephew who is a party cheif and gets away with anything and everything. He knows the guy does drugs, along with most of the field crews for that matter, and refuses to acknowledge it. He [partner] wants to bring him into the office too. that should be interesting since he refuses to dress decently and has dreds. Not that having dreds is bad but I could see where it looks unprofessional for an office environment and they're [partners] all about it.
UGHHH, I HATE WHERE I WORK!!!!
I'D RATHER BE SHOOTING!!!
Well, that's my rant....I fell somewhat better now.
