Presently Irked

One could make the argument that irked is more or less a default setting in my case. You'd probably be right as there's a myriad of things that usually evoke the word 'fuck' out of me. Details....

It's not all doom and gloom as my facial expression would have you believe. That frown is more to scare little children so the diminutive little fuckers will leave me alone. If it startles adults as well, all the better. But back to the point. My job (for me at least) requires about as much brain power as sleeping. It has perks, to be certain. And over the years, I've been content to maintain the status quo for various reasons. However, there comes a time in ones life when banging ones head against the wall shouldn't be a daily thing. I like a challenge. I like to use this twisted mind o'mine to sort and figure out and conquer humanity (ignore that last part). My current employment hasn't provided the first two (and never the third) since about minute 14 of the training. Yes, I could have sought other employ but as stated above, I had my reasons (and mind your business).

My suspicions about my supervisor and manager rocking pretty hard and going a bit extra for me were confirmed last week. No need to elaborate on every little detail here. Suffice to say that they did a bit of legwork and found me a new job. Sort of. I'll still be working for the same folk and still have the same job in a diminished capacity. However, I'll also be working for other divisions and whatnot including one that's up my alley and looks to have some actual writing and the like to forward to. Invaluable experience gained? Check. Exciting new opportunity? Check. Challenge that will actually require some thought? Check. 1 bottle of scotch per week written into my contract? Unfortunately, no. But I still call this one a win.

My oh my, where does the time go? 4 day weekend vanished as but a thought. And in those fleeting thoughts one can find solace in knowing that there was time well spent with people worth spending time with.

We should all be so lucky....

Now go away. I've got auditory pleasures to attend to.
