Idle Time

January 4, 2018

I finally had to do something today. I completely exhausted all of my extant tasks before I went on that big, two week holiday break / funeral break at the end of last year, and when I came back nothing had replaced them. As it so happens, the person who was forecasting that we would be busier than ever before over the course of 2018 was lying to us, for we're actually only going to have about half our usual work.

I hate the salaried turds where I work. The guy who pulled this stunt has been doing this for years and years, and nobody has called him out for it - much less bothered to tell us that all of the forward-looking things we look at during each of our quarterly meetings were a complete sham. Thus, I've gone from expecting to be working sixty hour weeks all year to having to ponder getting a second job.

Since building power electronics for military aircraft that, in total, cost two hundred and twenty two million dollars doesn't pay much more than being the manager at your local Burger King ™. Which is pretty dumb, when you think about it, because not everyone has the integrity to resist selling out to corporate spies. Or regular spies, for that matter. Not that I would, but my coworkers? Who knows with them.

They seem to love the traitor squatting in our White House right now, after all. Why wouldn't they take after him?
