Today one of my supervisors sent me and Miss Bitch an email with a bunch of attachments and asked us to print them out. Naturally, Miss Bitch handed the assignment over to me, and I printed out documents while she ichatted with her boyfriend.
Well, good thing I know how to press "print." I mean honestly, let's just take a moment and consider this for a second. WHY did this company hire me? Here I sit, at my desk, typing on my blog because I have all the time in the world to do so (pressing "print" took a total of maybe ten seconds of my life), and all I can wonder is why my company is paying me an above-average entry level salary (minus benefits, lets not get too extravagant here) to sit at a desk and literally do NOTHING for them.
I mean I'll be completely honest, I'm getting way overpaid here. Fast Food drive-thru hander-outers do more work in ten minutes than I do in my entire 9-6 day, yet I'm making the bigger paycheck. Why is that? Not that I'm complaining - I certainly could use the money. But for how MUCH they're paying me you'd think they'd USE me a little more often than to simply print a document or clean a coffee maker. In fact, if he were really smart, my boss would get rid of me and hire an intern instead - it'd save him a decent chunk of change.
Note to self for when I'm a rich and famous producer: hire lots of interns.
TGIF comrades.
