Gallbladder is trying to kill me.
This is the third time in 6 or so years its had me fucked up. Going to have to go to the fucking doctor again... last few times the conversation has basically been.... does it hurt when I push on it? No? Well then it probably isnt inflamed so it doesnt actually need to come out. So dont worry about being nauseous constantly and your side and back hurting off and on. Try to cut down on the grease and fatty foods (which I have drastically) Inevitably whoever accompanies me to the doctor will speak up and ask about spicy food and my doctor will give them a really polite 'shut the fuck up, im the doctor, not you' and I'll go home still feeling like fucked asshole and with less money in my pocket.
I honestly hope they just schedule me for surgery at this point. I'm pretty much horrified of getting cut on... but fuck I'm tired of this.

That is a major fuck-up, and I wouldn't blame anyone for firing him, but I can understand giving him a second chance too. It saves the school some hiring trouble if he straightens up and does his job right from now on.

Annoyed with my new job. I've received very sparse training, and I made it clear both during my interview and once offered the position that this was a new industry for me. I spend most of most days dicking around on my phone, because I ask for additional duties - even busy work - constantly, and it's never given. When I do get some assignment that's for instance Excel-related which I can easily do without training, nobody seems to have a clear explanation of what they want me to do.
Like today, my director said she wants periodic charts for executive meetings based on production and scrap data pulled from our CMS/ERP. Okay, I pull the data from Friday just to check out the options, it can be exported direct to Excel, albeit in a very messy format. So I try to clarify, would she like me to work with IT on establishing a template directly in our CMS system that would spit out the data she needs in a more workable format? Does she want me to start a chart of all production and go from there? She seems frustrated and says we'll talk when she's at our main building tomorrow.
I like everyone I work with, they're all very intelligent and pleasant to get along with, but my value has hardly increased in the two months I've been here. I've hardly learned anything, hardly done anything beyond basic shit I learned in the first week. I ask all the time for more training, better explanations, etc, and always by email and always saying there's no rush. Don't get a response half the time. There's a bunch of new staff members here, and I've been told that most people don't know what the hell they're doing.
Kinda... keeping my options open. If this wasn't a new industry, a startup sort of environment of utter chaos might be a fun challenge. But I need clear direction when I hardly know what our machines do.

This is currently my issue at work. I am creating a testing matrix for one project but I think if I spent an entire day on it, it would be complete for all testing cycles and then I wouldn't have anything to do. The issue is that there's a lot of 'waiting' with this project work and I'll be busy here again soon with assisting on another project. I guess I should be thankful that I have this 'calm before the storm' but I don't know. I'm of the opinion that I'd rather be busy with mindless work than sit around and do nothing and feel like I'm wasting company resources. I think I'll be super busy in 2017 generally because of all the product changes we're doing. We shall see.

I hear you. Not having shit to do fucking sucks. It's boring, and you look bad. It's one thing if you know the business well enough to take initiative on some pet projects. Personally, I don't yet, but it's an option for you.

You shouldn't even have free time, that's the point. Your obligation is to work, and your company's obligation is giving you more than enough to do for a solid efficiency rating and your own career improvement.

Eh nothing really. I just never use company wifi so they don't ever come across whatever depravity I'm looking at on my down time. I'm pretty sure I'm the one that got Sevared records banned from Sams Clubs wifi.

If they only have your MAC address, they can't see what you're doing (at least that's my understanding regarding text messaging). They have most stuff blocked via Websense anyway but I can access Wiki and such.

This explains a lot about you, but I'm also not about not being able to bullshit with coworkers and surf the Internet at least a little during the day. I work with people who will sit and work all day and not talk to anyone. If that's your cup of tea, great. I have to break up the monotony during the day though.
There has to be a balance. Surfing the Internet at work for 8 hours to me is a waste of my time and the organization's time and resources. However, not being able to talk at all, listen to music or break up the monotony is not a healthy work environment either.

Work is strange.
Sometimes I sit around and do nothing for days at a time, some days I'm so slammed I can't fucking breath. I feel like that's more oil industry than my company though.
It's not abnormal to sit around for a 12 hr shift here.

I like two 10 minute breaks and a lunch at about the same time every day, while spending the rest of the day working my ass off and listening to music. Can't stand sitting still, I do enough of that at home. It's more of an 'easily bored' mentality than an 'I must work because this is work' mentality.
Call centers were awesome. Busy nonstop all day most days. Too bad the pay is always garbage.
