Sunshine

In the basement lab where the roaring sewage pump resides, often times there can be extremely low morale. Currently, there is an older employee who was been with the Shitshow for almost 30 years now and is very close to retirement. Most of his 30 years of computer programming have taken place in the sewage lab so you can imagine that he is not a happy camper to say the least....we call him Sunshine. You need to think of this in terms of Lord of the Rings with the guy who lived in the cave in the dark and said nothing but "My Precious". The reason he was like that was years of solitude in his cave.....well the same is true for computer programmers in the sewage pump lab. On any given day at any given moment in time, the odds are that Sunshine will be in a nonsensical rant and enaging in non-stop complaining. At times this can be rather humorous when he slips into a fit of rage and starts dropping F-bombs about management but when you have worked in the sewage pump dungeon basement lab for months at a time with Sunshine, he is a sobering reminder about what lies in the future if one does not find a new career. To add insult to injury, our sewage infested basement where the lab resides has multiple labs and the Commander works in the lab next door. It turns out that the Commander and Sunshine do not get along to say the least. When they bump into each other, it makes for pure Shitshow comic relief. Both of them are sobering reminders of what the Ghost of Shitshow Future holds in store for young engineers. Because everyday I am reminded that I have no future or career at the Shitshow, I throw rocks.
