Damn Morals

I hate when there are morals involved on something that is an obvious pain in the ass. Why? I could do whatever I want and not feel guilt. I am awaiting the official job offer that is coming, pending my psyche eval (I'm not crazy-yes debaitable). My old job is the ship of fools. No longer considering the employees as anything than real bits of a machine, unless they like you, then they will overlook stupidity, slowness, and incompetence. Sure at first the management moves seemed like not so clever tries to get rid of the "undesirable", but now have only irked everyone and made the fudge shop unpleasant to work at. So why is this important?
Knowing (fingers crossed) that I am going somewhere else. Knowing that my current job is a ship of fools. Having my "new job site" point out the flaws, lack of recognition, and lack of cooperation towards other agencies (policy be darned) - it is hard to do work. Sure I could come into the office not answer the phone, not do anything, not do any paper work, "check out", hell we have 3 or 4 people who do that anyway (any those are just the ones who got HUGE PAY RAISES) and you have to watch people that you enjoy working with and who are good workers, get crapped on and USED. I have a hard time. I'll admit it.
Thanks to my parents, I don't screw off, sleep, not answer the phone, show up all the time etc.
Pesky Parents teaching me all those good things.

And now sports

So I have been busier than normal. Lets see; my assistant left at work. The lady who had been working for 20 years, who was a nice old lady who had been screwed over a couple of times. She will be driving the long way to Michigan and back. Which is nice for her, but they replaced her with the worst person available. Okay actually she is the 2nd worst person. The other person who is slow and doesn't work very well evidently was unavailable. I got another older lady who is scattered brained at least. It wasn't the fact that management knew my old assistant was going to retire (she had been counting it done for the last year). About a month before she was to retire they decided to have her train the other lady. 2 hours a week for a month and a couple of full days, when they didn't drag her back to her old job because the front office was "slammed". And for the record 5 ladies sitting around the office talking is not being slammed....
So, the replacement lady tells me today that she will be working in the front office for the next 2 months. So now the lady who loses thing on her own desk, will be taking the 100-300 pieces of paper back and forth from my office all day (ok a cubicle is not an office).

But what the hell does management care. Yes, management can be considered a swear word, like ass bandit, hobolover, and twit. Why do you ask? Management who lies to me, "we can't send you to that training because the budget is tight.", which is a lie in the fact that others are going to training all over the place. The real reason, I think, is that I am looking for another job and they don't want to waste the money. At least have the honesty to tell me that. Non-eye contact is also a big sign.
Can I really complain about a manager who I have seen for about 18 minutes in the last 7 months, excluding meetings, passing in the hall and bathroom. He has "threatened" to have a meeting to figure out what I am actually doing.
