my new job rocks

[Rohan]

i spent 5 years being a quality engineer in aerospace. 5 years of being told that i suck. that my ideas didn't have merit. that i needed 'some seasoning'.

quality-type jobs suck. you don't get merits, only demerits. when everything is going right? you don't exist, or you're holding up the process. when a major failure occurs? OMG WHERE'S QUALITY HOW DID THEY LET THIS HAPPEN

fuck that.

my new position lets me do heavy problem solving -- i had to feed that urge with chess, poker, and video games -- as well as lead meetings, interact with customers, and teach classes. formerly i ONLY got to utilize my personal skills in my social life.

a good job --> utilizes as much of your 'natural' skillset as possible. i'm not the best engineer in the world, nor am i the most social person, but i found a position that's well managed, with GOOD co-workers that back me up, and my boss actually gives a shit.

it's fucking dope. i've been out of college for almost six years. i JUST got my first "wow, you're smart. i'm really glad we hired you." almost broke down and cried.

coping sucks. after a while you go numb, forget that you're coping, and you blindly wonder why your life sucks and you hate everything. totally didn't realize that i was coping with my old position. i thought work sucked, everybody hated it, and that's the way it was supposed to be.

i wonder where else in my life that i'm coping. time to poke the numb spots and see what i can make happen. it's late, though, and I have work tomorrow.

YES!

Congrats, man. We spoke of it on a dancefloor last month, but sounds like all is gravy now.

Don't stick your dick in the mashed potatoes until you know what kind of party it is, though.

The work stuff is on point. the non-work stuff is on point. nobody points fingers at anybody else's fun times.

ex:

my boss's GM took us out to dinner and told us about his recent marriage in Jamaica, where he was 'smoking those blunt things' and ballin' his girl at Hedonism.

ex:

First day conversations revolved around Viagra. Boss wonders aloud if he could take that and make a real attempt at 'fucking the wife to death with a titanium doom-cock'.

He's in his late forties. HOW MUCH WIN IS THAT, DDM? TITANIUM DOOM-COCK FTW.
