Hostile Work Environment

Okay... so... I don't mind my job as far as tasks... this current assignment is a little boring (I am writing a migration strategy to move data from one system to another... how fuckin' fun is that?)

But there are 4 things that kinda make this job a bit more hostile than anything else...

1. The office... The area around corona is sooo beautiful, sun, constant breeze, warm and just generally pleasant... The building I work in... has NO, and let me repeat, NO windows with the exception of the ones on the entrance doors... NO OTHER PLACE in this building has windows... NONE!!! Just flourescent lighting... which gives me a headache... The other thing, about this wonderful marvel of architecture, is that the office that i am sitting in, is the office for all of the IT consultants... so there are like 12 of us in there... It's fairly sized so we aren't cramped... but the air conditioner/air circulation system does not work...

The AIR CONDITIONER/AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM in the room DOES NOT WORK!!! So it's hot, with all of the computers running, it's got stale air because there is no circulation, no windows to get the hint of atmosphere, flourescent lighting which gives me headaches, and god-damned, motherfuckin other consultants who insist on having their cell phones set to ring tones, that are LIKE SOOOOOOO LOUD, especially when they walk out of the room and leave their phone there ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing.... on some fuckin song, that no-one but them likes...

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY OR UNHOLY (whichever you prefer) TURN YOUR CELL PHONE TO VIBRATE OR I AM GONNA THROW IT AGAINST THE FUCKING WALL NEXT TIME IT RINGS!!!!!!!!!

aaaahh... that felt better... and that... was number 1...

2. my name... so... i have been working for this company right, and we all have to have accounts on the system right... well... the yahoos who executed the helpdesk ticket forgot the "L" in my last name... that's right... I have no L in my last name... and it's kinda driving me insane that i have to send out emails and such with no L in my name... logging in with no L in my name... and they said they can't fix it... that's right ladies and gentlemen... they can't fix my account name and put an L in it... I was told that it's not that big of a deal, and just live with it... *sigh* I think i am gonna change my last name to smith... let's see if they fuck that up...

3. The co-workers I am working with from CSC are nice, but they have this need to do everything together... lunch, dinner, etc... all together... like no free time... at all... The project manager, insists that we all drive to work together and carpool... that's fine... (i mean, we are all at work from the same hotel right?) but this guy doesn't leave until late... so 5:00 I am ready to go... and at 5:45 he's still typing emails... and we are stuck... and he's oblivious... when we drive ourselves... he's kinda hurt by it... though more and more... i am insisting that i drive myself...

4. Finally... and this has to do with the co-workers as well... is that they are Very VERY straight... and while I am very NOT, i kinda am hardpressed to tell them i am not. I know that my company has a policy of non-discrimination against sexual orientation (I looked it up) but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If i start telling them that, "No, I did not see that girl across the street, because I was actually looking at this gorgeous latino guy walking towards us" I think they would freak... cause un-nessecary tension amongst the team dynamic. I would be un-officially branded as a shit starter, and not work on projects anymore... In the mean time, I can't find anyone that's out... not in the company I work for, nor in the companies I work at...

Now... if anyone asked me if I was gay, my policy is not to hide it... if they didn't want to know... they wouldn't have asked... and if they don't like the answer... FUCKIN' TOUGH... You shouldn't have asked....

The problem is... I am the one stuck suffering... agreeing or disagreeing to these girl comments, "if you had a wife... blah blah blah..." I never lie... i just usually do one of my patented "hmmm" grunts and don't acknowledge the comment any further. I mean... come on... take the hint already... I am not interested in girls, so stop asking me about them... and no... I am not interested in you either... So you don't have to worry about that... I wear my pride rings on my ring finger... I am waiting for someone to ask me what they are... I would feel very sorry for them if they asked me while in the office and some other inconsiderate fuck has HIS FUCKING CELL PHONE RINGING AT 500 DECIBALS AND IS IGNORING IT... TURN THE FUCKIN THING OFF BEFORE I SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO FART TO ANSWER IT!

*sigh*

love always...

p.s. if i do end up in jail... someone please show this to the judge and help plea my case for insanity... Thanks
