I’m abused
I went on job interview Numero Tres yesterday morning, this time meeting with an HR specialist. Of course, no matter how well I did, beating out the internal candidate that also applied for this position is going to be tough. Aside from the steep ch...
Things I would rather do than be at work today
It’s Wednesday which means it is also my most dreaded day of the week. 16 hours in the office with no break, slammed with work while my boss hangs out in his office updating his status on Facebook (They’re time-stamped, dummy!). So, duri...
Patriots Day 09
Happy Patriots’ Day to all my fellow Massholes and Maine-iacs. Patriots’ Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and it has nothing to do with the fact that my favorite thing in the whole world (New England Patriots) seeing as I a...
Employer hijinks
Amid a crappy economy, I somehow managed to finagle a job interview. Yay me! (Or “Yay” my sister’s boyfriend who got me the in.) But, I won’t get too excited because from what I hear there are 100 other applicants. I’m h...
F Bombs
For kicks, I’ve decided to keep a tally of every time my boss says the “F” word, which is a lot, by the way. Sometimes, he uses the F word in between every word in his sentences. And a few weeks back, I got an email from an advertis...
Down with Christmas music
The best part about Thanksgiving is football. The worst part is the full-fledged onset of Christmastime. And if October and November are any indication, the world is going to be cramming Christmas down our throats to take our minds off of all the suc...
Shoot me
Uh oh, if this study is true, I am in some serious dog doo-doo… Sick and tired of your lousy boss? It’s more than a mere irritation. It could kill you. …how likely is it for a 29-year-old woman to have a heart attack? My most dread...
Dread
We are coming upon my most dreaded weekend of the year - the weekend before Thanksgiving. Since Christmas also falls on a Thursday this year, I have two most dreaded weekends. Why, you ask? Because since my paper’s usual print day is Thursday,...
Fail
All the work I did last night was for not. I’m still at work now. *sigh* There’s plenty more where this came from at bostonbrat Dot net...
Adventures in newspaper pagination (Late Night Edition)
Ya know how I am always complaining about Wednesdays? Well, as I sit here now, in my kitchen by the way, I have just finished one newspaper and am starting on newspaper #2 all in an effort to make tomorrow go by as smoothly as possible. Of course, m...
Burn out and not the cool marijuana-y kind
One thing I’ve noticed about having a job I hate is that I literally CHERISH the days when I’m not at the office. Things have just worse since my reneged firing back in June. Really bad. So bad that while most people fantasize about thing...
Waitress Rant… three of The Waiter’s best confessions
I have loved Waiter Rant for years but now that The Waiter has a book coming out, Reader’s Digest shares some of Waiter’s tips and confessions about the restaurant industry. And I gotta admit (after spending seven years of my life as a wa...
The day Angela got fired
So get this, I got fired today. Yep, fired. Me. From the newspaper. Fired, for the first time in my entire 15-year working history. And you’ll never believe why! Get this… I got fired because when my boss called me stupid I told him…...
Wednesdays are torture
As you may or may not know, Wednesdays for me are the equivalent to torture. In fact, I think the CIA could benefit from this type of head-numbing agony. For example, music torture is popular nowadays since it’s supposedly humane. Well, on Wed...
