if i got paid $90,000 to sit on my ass and shoot the shit politically with all sorts of lawyers and CIOs and CEOs and Chiefs of Staff, i suppose i would do it too. but the problem is -- i DONT!
i only get paid a measly intern wage. i dont WANT to sit around and BS my way into learning things i should be learning about. i fucking hate strategizing when i dont have a solid background in the things that im strategizing about. and my boss shouldnt be doing it either -- he is a fucking blank hole when it comes to technology. yeah, he knows buzzwords, and yeah he could be somewhat of a semi-expert on voice recognition technology and screen readers, because he use those tools, but my god, he doesnt know jack shit otherwise! and i think ive figured it out -- he is just plain lazy. the tools dont quite work as well as havin someone type up his emails and run his errands. its much easier to get someone to do it for him rather than him doing it for himself. that could be said for higher level people tho. the higher you climb up the ladder, the lazier you become.
i suppose i am being given face time. face time is good if you already know shit. but i know crap. i havent graduated to shit yet. i cant be given face time. but what the hey. who cares. who gives a damn, right?
it was kinda funny today. my subconscience must really hate that place over there, so it somehow telepathically unplugged my alarm clock, allowing me an extra hour of sleep, and waking up, realizing i was goin to be an extra hour late.
woops! *sheepish grin
not that it mattered. my boss was TWO hours late to work, so fuck yeah! it didnt impact my day at all. in fact, nothing i did today impacted my day because i did NOTHING with that retard. except for the last hour and he just HAD to come crawling back to get me to email for him. the rest of the day, i used the time to network with people to get a job for the fall, fixed my supafly resume, and talked to some database administrator, who hooked me up with an Oracle 8 reporting form/tool to install on my PC at work. he was also kind enough to walk me through the structure of the database, the reporting tool, and forms, and how it all merges together from a database design and a data model. it was pretty neat. i didnt think you would need all that freakin software to create just one lousy report. i cant wait to learn PL/SQL and then learn how to merge all that i already know to form a report.
apart from that, i got hooked up with a job in the IT dept at depaul for the fall (hopefully), and perhaps i can get research done with one professor (we shall see), and then some.
tomorrow i will lose $600. my stupid insurance still hasnt managed to find its way to the dentist to pay them yet, so i will need to fork out my own money to get it done before they chase after me with a pitchfork.
mleh.
