Top Ten List - My New Job

Snowflake · 08-10-2006, 04:08 PM

Love it or hate it, it's my new job doing the same old thing

10. I hate the electronic forms we use, they're horrible and give many opportunities to make input errors for patent filings. Stupid, stupid stupid.

9. I love, or will soon, the insane figure they are paying me to do this cushy job.

8. I hate once again working for a schmuck attorney who needs babysitting and won't take responsibility for not reviewing anything he signs.

7. I love the commute to the office, 20 minutes in absolutely no traffic.

6. I still hate the 101/80 split and the nasty backup on the way home. Can't all those people in the East Bay stay there?

5. If I drank soda, I'd love the fact that we have free sodas in the fridge.

4. I hate trademark work and was assigned to a trademark guy.

3. I love that my other boss is a friend who goes back 20 years and because I whined, she got rid of my assignment to #4.

2. I hate sitting next to the office prima donna. Too much maintenance.

1. I love getting home at 5 o'clock without fail. No overtime, I can have my life back and an evening free 5 days a week!
