How do you know that your job sucks?

[dorktv]

I knew because I skipped something one should not be skipping in one's twenties if one is a woman. And NO I am not expecting.

1. Now I'm curious...

what did you skip?

Your job sucks when you wake up vomiting at the thought of going to work. That is happening to me now.

[dorktv]

2. Um...I was trying to be very delicate about it.

You must be a guy. *holds a bucket for you to puke in*

[melnjones]

18. lol nt

[barb162]

4. yeah when the thought of going to work makes you sick....

[eaprez]

3. what does that have to do with your job?

[KitchenWitch]

5. Stress can mess with the cycle

[dorktv]

8. Too high of a stress level means that there is too much stress

for a baby or something like that.

[hollywood926]

9. Oh, I'm actually not a guy, but...

when you said you weren't expecting, that threw me off a bit. Sorry!

Yeah, I guess that means your job sucks. I do hope you're looking elsewhere. Life is just too short to do something you hate.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

6. I think I know!

Does your job suck so much that it caused that?

[dorktv]

7. Yep...and then I started exactly 3 days after I quit.

Just goes to show....

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

10. Well, all's well that ends well

[dorktv]

11. Yes but now I have to find a new job!

:)

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. I haven't had a single period in the four years I've had my job.

:cry:

[dorktv]

16. Mmhmm...Either you are a man, or a post-menopasual woman.

[sendero]

13. When you wake up...

... with a feeling of dread.

[EC]

14. I know when I sit at the edge of my bed every morning

dressed and ready to go, but I don't want to and have to force myself. Nothing too demanding, just useless...I feel the profession I'm in is extortion.

[dorktv]

15. Republican Staffer?

[EC]

19. no, the protection racket

insurance...

[Goddess Nephthis]

17. When they make...

PMS jokes. I am a firearms instructor for God's sake! Sometimes I even have a weapon in my hands! One of these days I WILL HAVE PMS when they ask and I will surely make the news!

Breaking: Latina Firearms Instructor Goes Beserk! Dozens dead and Injured!

:P

23. Welcome to DU

:hi:

[GRLMGC]

20. How do you know when your job sucks?

When some psycho threatens to shoot up the place.

[Nikia]

21. When you regularly have nightmares about the place

And no positive dreams about it.

[steely]

22. how about when you bitch openly to management about

management? Does that count? Sometimes I come home scared (of losing my job or my mind). I guess it's fight or flight - but you wouldn't believe the goofy goings-on we had last year.

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Your job sucks when you don't sleep well, you either over or under eat,

your family thinks you're not much fun anymore
you drag your ass out of bed when the alarm goes off
you start looking to the weekend on Monday
you check your benefits to see when you can retire
you inadvertently walk out of the office/plant/television station with some piece of gear and say to yourself, "Fuck 'em."
when they call for overtime, you see it on caller ID and let the answering machine pick it up
when your company pager goes off, you tell them the next day you happened to be in Oklahoma where the pagers don't reach
you call in sick/grandmother dead/cat dead/car dead/had a fire in the house/flood in the house/really bad stomach ache...whatever, when none of it is true

Oh, I know. I worked for the man (Rupert, if you can call him a man.) I worked for FOX.
No longer. I am so glad to be rid of the bastards.

[Ivan Sputnik]

25. When you have panic attacks on your way to work

it's time to bail. Nothing is worth that much stress.

[AllyCat]

26. When you have to be on Zoloft to go in every day. eom

[high density]

27. My right arm is in pain a lot thanks to carpal tunnel syndrome

But hey, at least I'm earning a below poverty level wage doing my job that leads to this condition...

Hmm ??? :)

[Liberal In Texas]

29. ...I forgot about the repetive stess stuff...

It's been 6 months since getting out.
You just brought it all back to me. Physical therapists. Working so fast on the keyboard your head spun, you wrist ached. Faster Faster.

Bastards.

:grr:

[tjwash]

28. When you are up at midnight posting on bulletin boards....

...from your office, killing time waiting for an idiot customer to call you back, and you have been working since seven in the morning, and your wife is in bed sleeping, pissed off at you because you have to put in these bullshit hours...

[Seabiscuit]

30. You know your job sucks when you develop a habit of

arriving late and can't for the life of you remember why.
