I'm disgruntled, I know it

However, I have noticed a recent turn about in my attitude--mainly because I'm actively looking for a new job. I think looking outside of corporate is helping. Sure, it'd be nice if I could stay with the same cushy-bens and time-off, but the economy is CRAP. Nobody really wants designers and marketing professionals when they're losing customers left & right.

Anyway, I've broadened my horizons. Google might be nice to work for, or Toyota... but I don't know how long it will take them to build in this area (as they've promised) so I'm not going to sit around, inches away from smacking the next jerk that comes into the office asking for something at the last second.

I actually think this odd emotional direction I've taken is similar to 'giving up all hope'. I don't care about ICE. I don't care if I screw up. SURE! Blame your failure on me! I don't care! It's not going to be resolved and I'm not going to listen to you, so do whatever makes you feel better about yourself! :D

That being said, and still clinging onto the loose hope that I might actually be able to get a better title before I leave, Piper spent the past couple of days trying to track down the person above Carol. It took a few polite "NOs" before the coorespondant decided to give us a name aside from Carol.

Carol is the LOVELY person who handled everyones' reclassification. Oddly enough, we all ended up with titles that don't reflect what we do. Hell, my job description doesn't even require intelligence, dilligence, or accuracy. You know, if they want me to act like an idiot, I'm all for it! I'm very tempted to just simply wander around the building and ask people pointless questions. Afterall, my job only requires a high school degree now and to think they wouldn't hire me until I had my BA! But apparently I only know how to press *ctrl+c* *ctrl+v*--anything else pretty much requires me to ask 10 people many questions.

Carol is also the person who doesn't understand why people should have benefits or go to doctors, AND she's our HR representative. Now tell me, would you want someone who thinks you SHOULDN'T go to a doctor when you're sick to be your HR person? And I really love it how she lectures me when I get carpal tunnel for having a shitty computer setup. I just start noticing my wrist hurts, I get a brace, talk to my boss, then I get a 20-minute lecture on how I'm using my computer wrong.

Thank you, God for sticking the worst possible person as my Human Resources go-to. Not everyone has the opportunity to have a skeksi

as their department HR person.
