Is empty! My boss is gone, my secretary is gone. The goofball who asks me ridiculous questions all day isn't here... Wtf am I doing here?!


Hmmm, maybe I can actually get some work done!

His boss is the secretary and the goofball is actually his boss, who is really his reflection in the mirror opposite his desk.  They're all called Dave.

Nope, shared Admin. I'm kind of a one-man wrecking crew.


Hmmm, pick the day mate. One day, buying a company, another day, selling one. Another day reconciling accounting entries. Another day data mining. Another day, writing a program. Another day, posting here.

that kind of sounds like my (part time) job nate - the title varied depending on what job i'm applying for - 'marketing executive', 'quality administrator', 'web designer' .. and the boss would reference me for any of them - it's like 10 years experience all rolled into one hehe

Indeed. Here's my project list:



  1. Cross tab time and billing system data by employee by client in one of our offices
  2. Run the numbers on three potential business divestitures
  3. Set up the process and entering the numbers for amortizing a ****e load of $$ relative to expenses
  4. Create a 'score card,' complete with GUI, for office leaders

And something else will pop up I'm sure.


Well, pick your background then KT!

My project list just ain't as exciting as that:


1. Build an all singing all dancing database for the Intelligence (hah!) Team in Brum
2. Rejig Chequebook Audit to account for randomly sliding checking limits based on incidences of cheque fraud at each branch
3. Figure aout a way to include the new branch restucture in the existing MI - so that i can do it all again when they restructure again next month and the month after that.
4. Any other Crap that The Senior Management Team want to chuck at me (leaving my boss out of the loop!)
5. Do all of the work that was handed over to Ops team nearly 4 months ago, but they haven't bothered to do
6. Achieve 3000 posts on the JDBB by Month End


See.  Not much for Dazza to do.

I'm really truly jealous of you guys. Your jobs at least sound remotely interesting.


My project list:


1. Commute to work (the 10 feet from my bed to my computer)
2. Make coffee
3. Receive first order by fax
4. Do title search on the property
5. Email search to bank/mortgage broker/title company
6. Repeat steps 3-5 ad nauseum
7. Receive email from boss saying he wants yet another price changed on the website you just finished
8. Repeat steps 3-5 ad nauseum
9. Commute to couch and watch of bit of tv before calling it a night.


Booooooring. I need a new job.

Some of this is highly overrated And. The numbers on the divestitures I get to run have to pass through a model that doesn't work (I didn't build it). Anywho, it's all work.


So you survived Jeanne then? Suppose that added a little variety!


I can see your efforts are indeed at work JDK!

I can't believe how badly I spelt that last post.  Oh well.  Can't be bothered to correct it.

lol program working or not it has to be more fun than saying "the assessed value of this house is XXXX.... there are no homestead exemptions... it is located at lot XX, Block XX, of the XXXXXX subdivision" all day


But yeah I survived Jeanne. Most of my house didn't and my bank account surely didn't, but I survived. Lots of water damage. Drywall is peeling off. Windows have separated from the walls where all the water leaked in. It's not pretty.

Nah... not yet. I'll go back to NYC eventually, but I really wanted to live somewhere else for a while.


But I am checking prices in Portland (OR not ME), Raleigh NC and Charlotte NC because I have friends there.


The crap part is, the company I'm working for paid to bring me down here and really wants me to stay here for a year and may want me to repay moving expenses if i leave before the year is out, but I'm not so sure I can go through another hurricane season. One or maybe two I could have handled, but 4 in 6 weeks just sucks the life out of you in a way I never imagined. There's also something very humbling about sleeping on the floor of your closet with your dog and a flashlight... it's almost like you're a little kid again and the big bad monster is at the front door and coming to get you - only this time the monster is real, and it could rip your house to shreds or kill you without a second thought.


But, you know, I wasn't scared or anything
