Nothing To Do At Work

I recently started as an app developer at a local government office right out of college. Two and a half months into the job, and I am bored out of my mind and my supervisor literally cannot find enough work to keep me busy. I complete all my assigned tasks too quickly for management to keep up. I hate being bored, and being bored in a noisy cubicle farm actually gives me a headache. I usually just watch documentaries during my spare time, which only keeps my mind occupied for so long. Today, I was somewhat cranky, didn't sleep well, and decided to take an early lunch to take a nap, seeing as how the gal across the aisle from me takes cat naps all the time. I was told today that I cannot take naps at my desk on my lunch break, and that I should instead watch Certified…

WHY is applying for jobs so arbitrarily impossible?! (rant)

I've fuckin had it man, I'm literally trying to apply for a god damn seasonal warehouse position for a soda company. One of the largest companies in the god damn WORLD. They list the job on third party sites, tell you to go to their official hiring website, and then give you the typical “copy and paste each line of your resume into our stupid bullshit browser” fine. I've done this a million fucking times now. Surprise! They REQUIRE an educational institution to be listed – fine, no problem I got my high school diploma through online learning at legitimate institution. NOPE. Not listed. Okay, I'll just lie a little and put my high school that's been around since the 50's for sure they'll have that listed and I won't be totally lying – NOPE, in fact, they don't list any high schools in my country! Hell, they don't even…

Boss threatening to write my boyfriend up as no call no show

So here's the situation. My boyfriend and I are planning on helping a friend move this coming Thursday. We wrote both our names in the request off book for this day. We did this well over a week in advance before the schedule was made. Our boss gave the day off but not my boyfriend. I was the first one who saw the schedule so I was the one who ended up reminding him over text that my boyfriend can't and won't be there. This is the text I sent: Hey boss , I just wanted to let you know that boyfriend isn't going to be able to make it to work next Thursday. We have plans to help friend/shift manager move and they cannot be changed. To that, I personally got no response. The boss went to the friend we're helping and told her he can't do that saying…

Remote jobs that AREN’T call center?

I've been stuck in call center hell for the past 7 years and I don't think i can do it anymore. I have so much anxiety from them. Are there any somewhat decent ENTRY LEVEL remote jobs that don't involve speaking to customers on the phone that you'd recommend? Even if it was live chat I'd feel so much better. I would give anything to have a boring job.

The biggest reason I never want to go back to working in office…

My own washroom! The thought of going back to pooping in a stall, surrounded by other men pooping, is revolting. Not mention the times when all the stalls are occupied so I'm stuck waiting, sphincter clenched, for the privilege of pooping on a toilet that some other man was pooping on mere seconds ago.
