Hadn't said this in a while...
Dec. 9th, 2003 03:24 pmMy job is so ridiculous. They're... they're so unprofessional. I don't know what else to say. I am continually astounded at the lapses, at the laxity, at the carelessness, at the irresponsibility, at the antisocial behavior, at the immaturity, at...
I just...
Gah! Incoherence siezes me and I am unable to continue.
On another note, I was just informed in a comment on my pro blog that I'm a waste of space and bandwidth. Isn't that sweet? I'm flattered. Someone cares!!
On yet another note (it's almost a chord!) I was just accepted into Adsense. I've just pasted the code onto my main page and my archive templates. Sadly, it doesn't work in my archive templates. They need an overhaul tonight. Changes I make to them somehow fail to apply to my site. So, I don't know what the hell to do.
But anyway... I've been accepted into Adsense, which is very cool. Now the question is: How do I promote the site so that I get enough traffic to have legitimate users click on the ads? If nobody clicks on the ads for two months, Google boots me out, but if people click on the ads who aren't interested in buying, Google boots me out. So... No way around it, I'm going to have to somehow make this site worthwhile.
So... Lots of work to do. Especially given my adoring fans, who think I'm a waste of space. :)
You know, people may complain about it being unprofessional of me to blog from work. Well? I ask my boss questions, he runs away, only to return to sneak up behind me to see what I'm doing. I'm blogging, because I can't get answers to my questions! I tried chasing people down, and I got contradictory answers and resentment. Now nobody here is really speaking to me, except the manager who's trying to convince me to quit so that the company doesn't have to pay higher insurance to cover my unemployment. I ask you... what would you do? The manager told me to quit. I can't quit until I have an alternate form of revenue, since, well, I have to eat sometimes. So I'm working, during current working hours, on my most recent assignment: Quit. How can I get money? I'm working on it. Once my alternate sources of revenue start working, then I'll quit and save them money.
I'm doing all the work they give me, but I'm not going to kill myself doing a good job. It would just make it awkward when they finally make me leave.
Sigh. No, really-- what would you do?
[added]Just thought I'd add in the following. The company's website has an incomplete site map, with somewhat poor layout. I was looking up how to improve it, and found a thread in High Rankings forum about sitemaps. One poster included the address of the sitemap on his page, which he said was a good example.
The site's blocked. Why? www.builderszone.com. Something about that must be bad for me to see at work. How freaking useless is this company? I guess they can keep their crappy sitemap, since letting me see a good one is so detrimental to my productivity.
