So We're Doing This Again Are We?

End of week 3 and I'm beginning to wonder what I've gotten myself into job wise. Don't get me wrong, everyone including my boss is awesome and I can't really complain about the schedule or the environment. The pickle here is that the person who had the job before me apparently has done NOTHING in the past 6-8 months.

The battle cry since I started in with my "new-guy" questions is "where's the policy for that"? No policy. Anywhere. Whatsoever. And the "policy binder", is actually, a giant three ring binder full of one page "policies" which only say nicey-nicey things about what the intent of it is. And apparently it hasn't been updated in a while because it's printed on what I can only assume is a dot matrix, and signed by John Hancock.

Why is it every time I walk into a new position, it's always the same story. Everything that governs my job is extremely out of date, there are filing cabinets of shit that date back to pre-WWII, and everyone operates under the flag of "it was that way when I got here".

Sooo there's that....

Back In The Saddle

 Soo I'm back in the working world after being unemployed for about 4 months (pay wise, 6 months in all actuality) and so far so good.

  I'm stoked about the fact that my supervisors are awesome all the way up the chain, even the president of the company. What's even better is my new boss is stoked about pretty much most of the ideas I'm coming up with.

  After working in an unholy place for almost four years, it's almost surreal when you actually get a job where you don't work for assholes and you arn't getting underpaid.

Phew! Living the dream, at least for the time being.
