I love that song, and Cake in general.

I got my printer back into working order, kicked ass at the job despite multiple attempts by my boss to sabotage my work, found a few nice IT jobs that would see me driving around teaching people how to Computer right, convinced one of my friends to volunteer at the Bird Rescue with me this summer (and we might do a roadtrip to Washington too! :D), took care of some projects that have been hanging over my head, and am settling down to a nice big mug of spiced green tea.

It was a good day!

We should be a roving "LrnU2compute" team. That would be awesome. ^_^

Max, if you have the business savvy, I would totally be down with that.

multiple attempts by my boss to sabotage my work

Do tell.

I don't know whether it's that I've almost been at my job long enough to qualify for a raise, medical benefits, and so on, or some kind of retaliation for being injured by their equipment while on the job. In any case, one of my bosses spent a few days last week trying to convince me to quit the job, and after failing that seems to have shifted his efforts to finding an excuse to fire me.

Anyway, a handful of my coworkers decided not to show up for the day (this happens regularly), leaving me to fill in for them in an unfamiliar department. Basically, I was sorting small packages coming down from various chutes, grouping and bagging them by zip code/destination, and sending them to appropriate delivery trucks. Knowing full well that this wasn't my usual job, and that I hadn't had a chance to learn all the various zip codes and cities yet, the aforementioned boss decided to secretly "test" me today, messing with the packages I was sorting by planting a bunch of mislabled and missorted items into my chutes all day, which if not caught would have been credited to me and been grounds for termination. Despite this, I caught every misload that he'd messed with and sent them right back to him.

God, I am so done with that place... can't wait until I can line up something else. Nevertheless, it felt pretty good to thwart this kind of thing. It'll feel even better when, after proving how much ass I can kick, I can leave them for something better. That's a bridge I wouldn't mind burning on my way out.

Are you going to report him?  Isn't fucking with mail a federal offense?

What an ass. Give him what he deserves: A sabotage, assuming you can do it and do it stealthily.

Or report him.

None of the packages themselves were technically tampered with, and he was keeping close tabs on them (ideally, none would have made it off-site), so there's nothing I could report. Also, I don't believe in trading eyes for eyes like that; I get far more satisfaction from beating people at the little games they play and going on like it was nothing than I would trying to do the same back to them.
