Work related issues have been giving me a severe case of headaches as of late for a number of different reasons. I share by bitchings with you here to try and rid myself some of the stress. Hey, it was either this or punch through a wall somewhere in my house and I really don’t feel like having to patch any holes in sheet rock right now. Here we go, in no particular order:

• I would rather have my teeth ground down to a fine powder by a rusty file without any anesthesia than have to work on a project under the control of Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003. The person who designed this bloated piece of crapware was a sadist and a masochist and should be shot in each hand so they may no longer curse the world with their code.
• Nothing beats having your long overdue paycheck from May get lost in the mail (making it your second paycheck to disappear via the USPS). Thankfully FedEx was there to get me the reissued check. I have no idea where the check eating goblin lives, but it’s somewhere between New York City and Brick, NJ. Now the hope is that June’s paycheck will arive before Halloween.
• Having the fear of unemployment starting you right in the face because the company you contract for stands a 50/50 chance of survival unless some big puzzle pieces fall into place. Also, there’s this sense of irony that this is the first place I’ve ever worked at where I really want to stay on at (at least another year or two if I had my wish) but circumstances may very well rob me of that chance.

Other than that, work is fine and dandy. How about you?
