Yesterday was a terrible day, so I did what anybody would do in my situation -- Went out and drank heavily. This resulted in me moving in a fog all day today. Great fun.

The company has chosen to combat the latest string of unhappiness with a carrot. A financial carrot, in the form of bonuses. The amounts offered aren't necessarily insignificant, however I just can't bring myself to be excited about it. Rather, I feel cheapened by the entire venture. Like a $2 whore who is sick of taking it up the ass... So she's offered an extra dollar to shut the hell up and bend over. Is it so wrong to ask to be treated like a human being?

Apparently so. I was privvy to the revised New Worker Request form from HR today. I bet that if I could go back in time, I would find a similar form at slave auctions. I suppose it's telling enough that financial management for the contingent work force falls under "Purchasing."

Would you like fries with your new pseudo-employee?

Yes please, and I'd like to super-size it.

Contractor Dirt: The Saga Continues.

Today one of the managers (the one in charge of myself and DEATH) began to act like his old self. I think it's only because he so desperately wants to see his enemies fall. It was strange, though, for things to return for a moment, at least on the surface, to how they used to be. And to top it all off, his picture ID was his old one. Back when he was the Contractor Dirt. Was it an attempt to fit in more? Was he making a statement against his peers? The problem with our manager is that he's so devious that you can't just second guess everything he does, you have to third and fourth guess it. Oh well, at least it keeps things interesting.

The Wall o' Pain continued today. There's something to be said for making $18/hour to play with expensive high-tech toys. That something usually being "Screw all of you."

Had Friday off for my first wedding anniversary. It's amazing how refreshing just one day off can be. It was easily one of the best weekend's I've had in months.

Today, being Labor Day, was nice and slow. I was able to play catch up a bit, but mostly just played with Bear Share and created some new playlists. All the actual employees had the day off. Paid, of course. So what the heck.

I have a new idea for a screenplay. Or, rather, I have given my old idea some substance. It shall be based upon my experiences in Corporate America. I look forward to working on it.

We are creating a new "Wall of Fame." It consists of color print-outs of photographs. This is essentially an excuse for DEATH to publically humiliate his enemies and abuse company resources, but it's disguised in Happy Fun Goodness, so none shall suspect. Revenge is a dish best served petty.

Now Playing: KMFDM - Juke Joint Jezebel. My new playlists are neat.
