Yes, every day. And when my boss breaks out the annoying business speak (&quot;touch base,&quot; &quot;own that process,&quot; &quot;wear many hats,&quot; &quot;keep your plate full,&quot , I'm ready to leave right then and there.

<< what do you do? >>

well.....i SUPPOSE to be constructing their site, but with no content or no direction, this ends up no where. ive tried so hard to talk to the boss, but he is alays busy. on top of that i have to create and maintain this crap permit system.

i'm counting the days where i will simply get up and leave and NEVER come back. only think stopping me is the fact that i have rent and bills to pay until early Jan.

I want a job which pays well for little input!

 

[flamingelephant]

Uhhh, try saying your just sitting there checking out computer forums and until he gives you some direction, you'll just keep on doing nothing because thats all you can do, and he can keep on paying you 20/hr or whatever you make./.... That should get his attention.... But, that means you'd have to work, and why whould you want to spoil that?

gov job suck, plain and simple.

Danny, it seems I did EXACTLY what you are doing last summer. They wanted me to create project web pages with specific permissions and database stuff. My boss was never in the office and I never got any guidance or assistance. Thus, I surfed the net all day. I wasnt being abused; I just felt kinda useless. So I figured that if i was going to be useless to them, I may as well be useful to myself. So I spent the summer learning how to program vb with asp. It was boring, but easy money. Lots of people would kill for a stressless/workless job where they could get paid for doing nothing! If youre not happy, definitely move on if you can afford it. Just realize that you may not have it as badly as you may think.
