I got to work late because of complicated reasons... well not really. The reason was that I was watching TV and wanted to see how the movie ended. Since I'm just as dispirited with my job as Bashtard, I didn't really give a rat's ass about being late, plus the afore mentioned Bashtard was holding down the fort just fine without me.
So the point of this blog, apart from whining, is that Slashdot pointed out to that I'm pretty much obsolete at this job that I hate: "Two Spam Filters 10 Times As Accurate As Humans"
Lets see if I get my dental plan before they lay me off, as everyone knows Lisa needs new braces, so that's the least I can hope for.
What I want to know is why can't I have a job that I actuall enjoy? This tech support, systems monitoring, spam training, tedious piece of crap job is just really so unchallenging and unfulfilling, that it makes my head numb.
I'm a creative person, I need to be creating things other than hundreds of trouble tickets about somone forgetting to plug in their DSL filters. So I've decided that once I leave this place, if I can't work, at doing something I like(creative director, graphic design, web development, code monkey, etc), then I think I'm just gonna throw in the towel on this whole IT industry thing. I think I'd like to open a bakery, one that specializes on pastries, maybe have a kick ass Bear Claw that we're famous for. That sounds much more fulfilling than dealing with annoying peoples stupid computer problems. Can you imagine that? A place where I can actually get to *gasp* interact with real life human beings during my work day!! That just sounds insane compared to my current position, which has me being alone, bored and isolated for the most part of the day. Maybe we can offer free 802.11g access for people aswell,. be a bakery/cafe type place, yup that would be sweet.
