Well, I've decided to quit my job in 3 hours. Wish me luck!!! *Updated*

[Piano Man]

Night after night I have a hard time sleeping knowing that the job I go to everyday is the last place I want to be. Its not that I don't like work, but this type of work is killing me, mentally. I work at a place called Crystal Distribution, and I basically do the same mundane task 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. What do I do? I open boxes of Walmart Chocolate pudding. Why? Because Walmart f*cked up with the glue that seals the tops and we have to pick the bad ones out. But I just open the boxes. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I thought that a mindless job would be great, because I wouldn't have to worry about anything, but for the love of God, I can't take the bore anymore!!! Listening to music has gotten me this far, but damn, I can't hack it anymore. So, in 3 hours, I'm going to go to my Supervisor and say, "Mike, I can't work here anymore, its not the people, or the pay, its the work. I just won't do it anymore." No two weeks, no nothing. I know that isn't a great way to go, but they can replace me in 2 seconds. Christ, how hard is it to open boxes? Anyways, a little moral support would be nice since quitting is a hard thing for me to do.


Oh, I'll start my Papa John's job during school in a week anyways, so its not like I'm going to live off the government or anything.

GO out with a BANG!


Tell them to take this job and shove it!~


Maybe they'll try to pay youoff if they think you'll go postal..







j/k

 

[Nemesis77]

Whoa! Your job really does suck! Good luck man!

 

[dman]

I'd say practice your negotiating skills.... maybe organize a strike w/ your fellow coworkers demanding better pay and shorter hours. You got nothing to loose. Maybe You could levee this strike into a union position.


<-- Can't believe there's a job where they pay people to open pudding boxes. And that's it. And they need to do that day in and day out. Simply amazing.

 

[Piano Man]

Well, I did it. And it went pretty well. After telling him I wasn't going to be able to work there anymore, I asked if anything needed to be filled out for him. He said no, and then he asked why. I told him because the work was just too mundane for me to keep my sanity, and he gave a nod. He told me to come get my check on Friday, and I said Thanks. That's it. But God do I feel GOOD!!!!!!!

 

[snow patrol]

Well done man. I remember it was the best feeling in the world coming home and having a beer after quitting this particularly dull job that I had.

You still got to find something else though...

 

[skace]

I've got 100 dollars here that says after the first week at your new job you will be saying "damn, even opening pudding boxes was better than this". Especially if they have you dealing with people all day.

 

[Lorax]

mmm pudding

 

[AU Tiger]

Glad you feel better.

I am in my last three days at my current assignment. Been here eight months. While I don't know what the future holds, I will be all smiles on Friday because I have not enjoyed my work for the last three months.

At least you left in good standing with them, you never know when you might want to go back. And skace is right, after you start working with people it gets annoying. They ask you stupid questions all day, which is obviously common sense but they seem to lack it.

I remember working at the grocery store, used to stock the frozen food section. Was very close to Century Village (a retirement community affectionately called Cemetary Village by us young folk). They'd bus 'em over all day on the weekends. I used to hate working those days because every 5 minutes in old cranky voice I'd hear: "Where are the bagles?" Like the 2 doors section on the opposite aisle filled with bagles right in the middle of the frozen bread section and breakfast foods was hard to find. And there were only 2 aisles of frozen stuff, so if it's not over here--guess where. And (I don't know why but) I even hung a bright florescent sign with BAGLES in bold on it, but they couldn't be bothered to read.

Some people just like to harass the help, they figure you are there to help them and by george they are going to ask for help no matter what.

The other thing that I thought was funny, people always bought food that was x for the price of y in the quantity of X. One day I wanted to put a sign that said 2 for the price of 3 and see how many people bought stuff. There was no need though I know it would have worked too well.

 

[rudder]

you cut open boxes..??? I think this is a little too much drama.
