Stupid projects!
Posted: March 7th, 2008, 7:42 am
I have a job problem. At the company I work part time, there are two part timers. A friend of the team leader and myself. The boss in an attempt to speed up execution of every job as much as possible demands that all jobs are evenly distributed between me and this friend of my immediate lead.
Which leads him to a problem. He has to give me 50% of all jobs, yet limiting his friend to only 50% of all possible projects (and thus 50% of the money)
So he's trying to give me all these evil jobs which leaves me with stupid stuff that requires more work than paid.
This week however he made a mistake! He ordered my to do silly stuff that sounds complicated, but isn't (at least to me!) I have finished this work of creating a list of words contained in documents (italian language) which I'm pretty sure is of no use in ANY of our projects. I'm sure my lead has no clue why working with foreign character set is conveniently easy in times of "UTF-8" and all my software projects are multilanguage by default. With a little help by O-kun I have no finished that project in 2 (of 7) days. I also have sent some... "information" to a close relative of my boss, informing him that "important company resources have been purposedly waisted for useless projects"... we don't have any italian customers
