  • 20101008-Bored Again

    In one hour from 9:00am to 10:00am, I finished today’s scheduling of new products. This means the backlog is pretty much finished. Can I go home now and call it a day? I’m bored again and hate this temp job from hell, seriously! I tried pulling up the other two reports (and double-check their work) but the system won’t allow me.

    Yesterday, I’ve burned out at the end of the day by completing two “families” – an “ARM” (mine) and a “leg” (hers). Each family took about two hours to complete. And with my work speed being especially FAST, I think the twosome will take twice as long! As a result and after four hours or non-stop data entry, my brain, arms and hands stopped completely! I had no energy left to lift a finger.

    The other two temps were relaxed, err, rather “intentionally” distracted by N. Le and Lucas. They know how I work because, well, the place CAN monitor our activities on the computer – when we log on/off, what we are entering and if we work fast or not. Plus, the auditors are always here – daily! They have their own BIG/shared cubicle.

    Anyway, what I did is study the formulas in one of Lucus’ spreadsheet. Two columns were wrong! Those picked up the wrong column from the “master” tab and another wrong column from another worksheet tab. Only my spreadsheet works. I don’t know about the other two temps. They don’t seem to care.

    By using my COMMON SENSE, I tweaked the formulas and that reduced the chances of scheduling “excluded” orders. I should be paid twice for my brain power here! I cannot afford to feed my family on minimum friggin’ wage! Data entry is fun but I’m wasting time waiting for my hand-out from TPTB. Get it, now?

    I’m definitely not staying here. I cannot foresee myself working like this – near the back door. I’m used to being SERVICED pronto. Here, we have to beg – actually get up and meet the contact person. It doesn’t make sense to use emails, help desk tickets or the phones if things around here cannot get done pronto.

    Plus, I’m not getting younger. I’ve haven’t done anything during the past four decades and would like to travel to religious sites, like Mecca and Rome. I told Mike and Steve that I’d like to go to Hong Kong, Australia and overseas but I failed to mention Hawaii because a honeymoon is the only time I’d like to go there.

    So I kept scheming, star gazing, day dreaming and laughed out loud! I’m so loud that the sound echoed throughout the Greek/Mediterranean restaurant. I had Falafel – two HARD meatball-like, garbanzo beans of green color and two half-sized flat breads and ranch dressing! I owe Mike for the misunderstanding.

    I took a free ride with Steve because I tried to rough the walk without, as Mike put it, my “parasol”. It was too friggin’ hot there and back! So Steve bikes and doesn’t speak his language. Lots of stories and too much to remember, except how clean both his and Mike’s cars are compared to mine.

    For the first walk there, I learned of Mike’s 2-year boy and 6-month old girl and how he dated and gotten old and decided to make family because (like any story) he had no where else to go but with someone who is compatible.

    So that’s the reality: Food, friends, fun and fuglies!

    I hate working, period. I especially hate this temp job. It’s too boring but VERY easy. From 11:22am to 11:54am, I was able to schedule around 99 products. That’s about one-half hours of work. If I took over the workloads away from the other two temps, I’d be done in half a day! The other half of work will be easy because the backlog has been pretty much completed and the list is getting shorter.

    OMG! I’m so bored at work that I’m literally bouncing up and down to imaginary trance (or house) music. `Boing! Boing! Boing!` I’m so lazy that the coffee is not strong enough to hit my system just yet as I slowly try to wake up. Maybe this morning’s banana had too much sugar.

    No wonder this job pays low! It’s for stupid people who don’t think! It’s very slow-paced and stress-free, though Yet, I’m so friggin’ bored! I’m a restless person and more creative than doing repetitive tasks like data entry.

    It’s okay, God. If you hate me this much, I’ll continue to walk around the areas and remember how the lands used to be flat and grassy – full of rabbits and critters.

    There appears to be construction work beyond the dead-end, cul-de-sac of this workplace. The yellow construction ribbons are staked at one corner. One fat white guy was walking around the dried fields this Monday. Yesterday, a survey team was there. This morning, there are two trucks – one for watering and the other for scaping, I guess.

    I noticed last week how some wooden stakes have yellow ribbons in the empty lots surrounding area across from the buzzing, electrical grid. I noticed too how a singular disc-shaped antenna device was pointed northbound, somewhere towards the tall antennaes atop the nearby hills.

    I’ll have to research the phase of development. Hopefully, the dust won’t go into my airspace while walking outdoors during lunchtime.

  • 20100529-Still Bored

    Earlier, I was browsing a discussion forum and decided to mess around with someone’s photo of a green-colored, happy orgone piece. What I did was create a black-colored curl, similar to that of Charlie Brown, on top of where the eyebrows would be of the smiley face. Then I saved my creation (with MS Paint and a mouse), uploaded it to my Flickr.com account and then posted my response. I like keeping busy this way.

    Then I saw a nice long-headed poem titled `All is One`. So that means even the demons, greys, reptoids and all the evil critters lurking at every corner is part of the Divine Providence – the Allah, Buddha, Brahma, etc. That concept is creepy considering how some people still think they are not like the other person or persons with whom they compete, just to be on top of the ladder of success and such.

    Conclusion: Each to his or her own. The creative soul makes up for what it has experienced to the fullest and into sheer boredom. And to make the reality less boring, propaganda specialists are hired with top pay. It’s almost like a bad movie, reincarnations happening over and over again inside a box, the mind.

    I see that the Obama administration is just putting out more nonsense to keep the hive mind alive. It’s dying from boredom. Like moi, it strives for something new. But in doing so, it continues to live a lie, deceiving other drones into a state of eternal prison – fear of the unknown!. The fear is real because there is nothing else but itself and needing something but wanting more of it cannot have – peace of mind.

    Which is where sleep comes in. Good night.
