I'm going home

Peter Gibbons: I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.

Joanna: You're just not gonna go?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Joanna: Won't you get fired?

Peter Gibbons: I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.

Survey Says...

So we had a little survey at work today... on paper. They've actually got someone flying around to all the locations and getting people to fill out survey forms. I won't bother going into how expensive and backwards that is, let me just sum it all up with a couple of excepts from my answers:
Are you statisfied with your job?

Bored Bored Bored

At the moment I am sitting in the terminal at the Kelowna airport and I am bored out of my mind. There is only so much surfing I can do on my Blackberry. I've read my friends list repeatedly. The only television is in the bar area but the barmaid is unbelievably shrill and won't shut up.

I seem to be the only male here under 60 not wearing a baseball cap or a hoodie. And that's not to say there aren't men over 60 wearing baseball caps, just that there happens to be two that aren't.


Gah

So I'm sitting in a cubicle in the basement of the “head office” that is the I.T. ghetto. In front of me is a “Teamwork” poster featuring a picture of a racing sail-boat and the caption, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.” *vomit*

Behind me are 437 printed out pictures of the usual owner's rugrats in assorted “cute” poses that mostly look psychotic. *puke*

To the side are picture of “hot cars” that the guy can't afford and 14th generation degraded fax jokes. *wretch*

The cubicle is grey-blue and the desk is brown. *hurl*


Value

I'm sitting here at the terminal, rather bored, sipping on the bucket of coffee that came with the grease-on-a-bun breakfast I got from A&W. I'm watching people line up at the Starbucks in the terminal here and while I like Starbucks, my entire breakfast, including this bucket of coffee, cost less than a tall latté.

Today I will be beyond Hope

Well, here I am, on my way to fabulous downtown Vernon - hub of culture, commerce, and industry that it is.

If you are waiting for the pictures from Sanctuary last night, I probably won't have a chance to post them until tomorrow evening. My return flight won't get me home until late this evening.
