An Hour-by-Hour Breakdown of Your Day if You Hate Your Job
2014.08.18
It's Monday again and you are back to work. Here is an hour-by-hour breakdown of your day. So just how much do you hate your job?
You get in, and you groan. The day has only just begun. Everyone around you doesn't look like they've actually woken up yet. This is the "don't talk to me" hour.
After your first cup of coffee, you finally take a look at the list of manure you've got to get done for the day. The list is too long. You perform selective reading.
Lunch is finally here. You make a bee line for the door and out into the world you go. You've just got five more hours to go.
Coffee again, first.
You make your second cup of coffee. And finally get down to doing the things on your list. Your boss asks if you've got the stuff he needs. You simply reply, "not yet" and work on it really slow.
You're now looking at cute cats on the Internet. That thing you were supposed to do, you tell yourself you'll be able to do it within an hour. You continue with looking at cats.
You finally get down to doing the things you really need to do. You are focused now. Except, you're really the slowest worker ever. You wonder if you're going to get fired.
Your boss demands for the stuff he needs. The deadline was yesterday. You deliver a crappy piece of work. Your boss isn't impressed. You snake eyes your way out of blame and assign it on the vendor, because it's always their fault. You get a second chance at it.
You finally produced something that doesn't stink. It's not great either, but it will do. You take a break and it's going to last for another hour.
You check Waze and other traffic reports and plan your exodus. You decide to reply a mail or two and mark them as urgent. You were supposed to do it by 10am. You are the very reason why emails come in at this hour.
You're out of the office, finally. Total amount of hours spent working: Probably 2. You are the worst worker alive but you're also the luckiest to still have a job.
