It seems my grandad is all cancery and is going to die.
Which sucks.

That's awful.

At 9:30 pm they tell me I've got to come in at 8 a.m. tomorrow so that we can re-review 70,000 documents.  LOVELY.

On the plus side, that's easier and less eye-gouging than what I did all day today, which was redact the same fucking 1000 page spreadsheet four times.

Are you one of these people who's going to hate your job, no matter what it happens to be?

If a job was fun, why would they have to pay somebody to do it?

Yeah, Pete's one of thes "well, if teachers and nurses do it for the love of the job, they really don't need to be paid so much" crowd.

I was bored yesterday and you guys weren't really entertaining so I thought I'd see what was on Pdox...and I couldn't remember my password.

In my experience, those people should be terminated from their jobs. Nothing is more morale shattering than working near Captain Buzzkill.

Nurses do it for the love of the job? 

Do doctors and engineers "deserve" to make double what teachers do? Perhaps not. But then neither do teachers "deserve" to make three or four times what grocery store checkout clerks do. Artificially inflating the cost of one sector of the labor market doesn't create fairness, what it does is create a glut where qualified and willing candidates can't get jobs.

There's a significant difference between merely hating going to work and not being able to shut up about it.

After so many years over here at Languish,

Languish is turning 10 next year, no?

Later this year iirc, was just april of '03 that had the big migration.

The big migration was when Languish as we know it came into existence.  Before that, it was so much less.

As a manager, I could tell when your vibes were setting off negative waves.

I only had good thoughts about that quarterly report, Oddball.
