I work as a professional scape goat for the 6th largest denfense contractor on the planet ... my job can be summed up as network admin, storage admin, lan/wan engineer, security admin, level III network helpdesk (though I have to deal with I and II most of the time too), managerial aspects as well since our boss thinks drinking coffee and givin' the rest of us sh*t is all he's required to do .. I maintain parts of the budget, shuffle entirely too much paperwork .. ohh wait, that's really not my job BLEH!!! ... anyone wanting to offer me a job that doesn't require me to be on call 24/7 for 6.5 years straight .. for the love of gawd PM me LOL!
I work for someone who's motto is literally "A good boss does nothing" ... I thought I was gunna puke in my soup when I first heard that little nugget of a one liner .. {{shudder}} 
Holy crap ZYNE, now I know where my old boss went to work after the palace coup of 2000 ! ! ! !
His name aint Hudak by any chance.......?
My personal hell lasted a bit over 9 years before I was emancipated....I still cringe every time I hear that frakking Nokia default ring tone.

Nope, but sounds like it's his brother LOL! It ain't the Nokia ring tone but I have a similar reaction to the default Blackberry ringtone LOL!

It was 24 X 7 X 365......No holidays......No slack.........No mercy...........
We referred to him as the "Dark Overlord"..........
Oh well, we do what we have to...Rent to pay, bread on the table and all that.....
I learned a lot and it helped me get a better position later on.
And.....His ultimate demise totally reinforced my belief in Karma........
Earl is my hero......

Yep, 24/7x365 .. sounds oddly familiar .. last vacation I took I was left alone a whoppin 3.5 hours .. now, the person who "backs me up" is also my boss and his version is to take the call, then call me without doing a damn thing LOL! Granted, when he does something always gets screwed up cuz he has zero clue what he's doing ... I wish I could be a fly on the wall after I leave .. my gawd I would like that hehehehe .. chaos, mayhem, the demise of the network .. lol .. I've seen it happen before when he "helps" out lol! Sh*t starts droppin' off the wire rather quickly. .. love when he kills of static routes for our site to site connections and then wonder why the phone starts ringing off the hook .. what I wouldn't give to be said fly !!!!! lol!
I prefer just plain ol "Satan" LOL, it's more honest and to the point! Luckily I'm in a spot where I could just up and leave but it's not how I would like to spend said savings/funds. I dunno if I'd wish death on the man or not .. I'd like to think that I'm better than that but ... I could live with the fact that I'm not too soo ... LMAO!!!! If nothing else all his shady crap, the violations etc, will be his ultimate demise once our corporate ethics folks have a chance to act upon my .. umm .. care package from a few weeks ago *EVIL GRIN* ... I ain't going quietly in to night this time .. hehehehehehheehee

Sh!t...............No wonder you like jumping out of planes...........
Oh wait......Think you can interest your boss in a tandem jump and conveniently forget to strap him up ?
Hmmmmmmm............

Skydiving = Stress management :-) And it's not just limited to airplanes .. I'll jump out of pretty much anything and everything that fly's or if it's tall enough ... one of these days I'll make it down to Angel Falls too :)
If I did tandems myself I guess the thought of it could've been attractictive .. but why ruin my life in the process when I can achieve a "career murder" so to speak!? At least you don't go to jail for that hehehehehehe .. Plus it would be rather fitting since he has forced anyone standing up to him outa here ... I think I'm the only one to get away with saying "F*CK YOU!" to their boss around here and still have a job ... Just goes to show he needs me more than I need them ... I would've been fired on the spot anywhere else .. but then again .. I guess when you throw immigrant schlur in someones face (I'm an immigrant lol) and you get a reaction to it .. it's better to keep your mouth shut then have HR know what you're doing to your employees ... I'm not one to seek out revenge normally but I'm gunna enjoy this sh!t LOL! Think of it as righting some wrongs. .. :)

ZYNE, if your job sucks that bad, get a CDL and drive a truck. You can see the country- from the freeway, sleep 3 feet from where you work- in a little box barely big enough to stand up in and not enough room to take a full step in any direction, have some monkey of a dispatcher telling you how to drive your truck when they can barely identify a truck on sight, and put up with morons on the road who are too busy talking on the phone, eating, putting on makeup, shaving, reading, swatting kids in the "wayback" seats, and picking thier nose to drive. But the plus side is you can make over $50K your first year, you meet strange and interesting people on a daily basis, and you don't have to pay rent anywhere if you don't want to. You also have the opportunity to go places and do things the average joe cant do, or it will cost a lot for them to do, and you get paid for it.
