RantyRex, a follow up to My Government Job, Part 1
Here I sit at 0030 hours at my government job. The supervisor has gone out on his 2 hour break (we get 30 minutes). The guy I work closely with is already fast asleep (he’s been here a whole 45 minutes into his shift and already asleep). Two other people aren’t even here yet theirs started 30 minutes ago.
So…..I have a couple choices of how to spend my next few hours before my lunch break. I have YouTube, Yahoo personals, Craigslist and AOL. I can go surf, or I can try to look busy in front of 4 sleeping people and 2 that will walk in anytime now and head straight for the pillows. I have work to do, but it will take me an hour to do it. All the managers they have been led to believe it takes 5.
The managers arrive at 730 do a quick walk through like they actually know what they are looking for. Either way, they look busy and in control. You can still smell the odor of drool on the desks of sleeping babes during the night. Every once in a while a fart wakes the night silence a few heads raise up and go right back down.
I see that about 250K worth of computer equipment that arrived 5 months ago is still sitting in boxes in the next room. Budget money that had to be spent, but no one knows what to do with the stuff they bought. I say flea market it myself or sell it on craigslist, I can use the $$$.
Well, this wasn’t too bad a rant, but it kept me busy for a few minutes before I go to sleep until lunchtime.
