Last Day at the Shitshow

As my fellow esteemed rock thrower, Jacko, has stated.... I have moved on to bigger and better things: hopefully a new job that wont make me want to dry heave in the toilet all day long. Although I will miss Jacko and several of my other co-workers (the only people I respected at the Shitshow), leaving the Shitshow is an extremely positive event in my life. So let me tell you about my last day.......

When leaving the Shitshow, Human Resources sends you and your manager an email checklist explaining all of the different things that you need to do prior to leaving the Shitshow. In bright red, sized 15 font on the email, it states "TIMECARD MUST BE SIGNED BY EMPOYEE AND MANAGER ON LAST DAY BY 830AM TO RECEIVE PAYCHECK". As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be months until I will get paid since King Kong is my manager and he can barely remember to breathe. So I spend a couple days running around the Shitshow and collecting signatures and doing a bunch of nonsense and I show up on my last day and check my electronic timecard status and, yes of course, King Kong forgot to sign it. So I spend a good 2 hours paging, emailing, and calling King Kong's cell phone and he is nowhere to be found.

At least my last day at the Shitshow was no different than the rest. But fear not fellow blogers, just because I am no longer employed at the Shitshow, I will still post and vent my frustrations via the blog. Regularly writing about the Shitshow will remind me of how lucky that I really am to be free of the Shitshow's tyranny that would turn me into a mindless vegetable and suck the vitality of life from within me if I did not leave.

So in closing, I am an example of Hope to all you frustrated Rock Throwers trapped at some godawful Shitshow. Keep throwing rocks and keep your head up. After every dark night there's a bright day.

Because the Shitshow was still a Shitshow even on my last day, I will continue to throw rocks.
