More thoughts on jobs and working

Made the mistake of criticizing an ad written by our agency, then I submitted a better idea that ended up being chosen. Head of Marketing comes to see me:

Her - How would you like to write our ads going forward?
Me - English ads? I don't speak English.
Her - *chuckles* Your English's good enough.
Me - You can't afford the agency anymore, can you?
Her - I can't afford the agency anymore.
Me - *shrugs* Aight, I'm game.
Her - Thanks Matt!

Boys sometimes I can't help but fuck myself over.

I need a substantial raise.

Been thinking a lot about retirement, 401k, and old age stuff lately.

Have been looking at condos in Florida, seems to be a lot of advantages to retiring there with the no income tax.

Buy a condo and rent it out for 15 years or so.

All I know is my body is falling apart so I may need to switch careers real soon.

I committed something of a boner this morning.

There is a woman who works here who has one arm and a stump on the other side. Arm is chopped off above the elbow.

So anyway, I tore the end of a fingernail and it was ragged so I wanted to snip it off below the tear. So I needed some snippy snips.

Harmony was always my go-to person for those but she is off on mat leave now so I was asking around and I asked stump woman.

Stump woman did not have fingernail snippy snips.

What is stump woman going to do with fingernail snippy snips? Think about it dude.

I don't know what she does about the nails on the one hand but she sure as hell doesn't operate clippers with the stump.


Fokkin boner right there.

[Matty]

About to quit.

 

[roguejuror]

What? If you quit don't you lose that handsome go away package?

 

[Matty]

Yes indeed, but they won't lay me off anyway. Too expensive to fire me without cause.

 

[roguejuror]

You're going for that .agency ?

 

[Matty]

I'm creating that .agency.

(It's a good old .com, actually.)

I was on the court today after the rookie game. Porzingis and Wiggins walked right by me...

The Porzingis kid is huge. He had to duck as he walked through the exit out of the arena.

I had one job interview this week. I was feeling pretty optimistic going in but no. I don't know if they would have offered it but I decided it wasn't for me.

I didn't understand from the initial job posting how much the job was about managing people. Major problem for me in these situations: I have no aptitude or interest in being a boss.

I ain't a boss.
