Losin da job

Heheh. those google guys who post a tiny little bit of knowledge about google that might harm google in some tiny insignificant way to their BLOGS, which apparently everyone on the fecking PLANET reads, and so they get their asses kicked for it. Hehehe. I got it all over them. I mean like feck, I could post fecking TOP SECRET classified war on terror documents RIGHT here if I knew any, and NO ONE WOULD GIVE the slightest rip. As I said earlier I shoulda been a spy. Not only would no one care, no one would even NOTICE it. If I posted TOP SECRET classified government data right here today in this bloggie NO ONE would believe it was for real. I'd have a sell job just to make people believe the possibility that perhaps a nemo even had such information in their possession.

Anyway I was laid off from my job in January and the given reason was financial reasons. Yeh, the co. wasn't doing so good and the main reason for that IMHO was that the boss was putting off making decisions and had too much heart and not enough of his brain in the operation. Was I producing a lot? Well not so's my boss could see. His lack of solid decisions kinda got me into firefighting mode on a day to day basis. All the good experiments I thought up on my own were left on my home computer. I was very concerned that I would not be perceived as being productive. I wanted to rewrite from the ground up... you always do better the second time. Or in this case not, since I didn't build that rube goldberg I was forced to maintain in the first place. But to do that you have to go off to a cave for a while, during which, nothing much happens, which is specially difficult in this short attention span web world where everybody wants everything free and they want it now. If my boss had asked me before ditching me if there was any unfinished business he should know about I would have given it all to him. I liked the guy. He wasn't a bad guy. Feck I mean heck, he was a software guy. He should of known this stuff. Well he didn't ask, so I didn't volunteer it. I guess he never thought of the possibility that there could be any--that someone like me (presumed incompetent until proven otherwise because I don't go around trumpeting, though why people hire someone that they think that of is BEYOND me.... guess they don't think very highly of their own co, (??) OK now I will get off the tangent) might actually be cooking up something cool in the background. The verb "might" applies to the original subject "someone like me" in case the reader (that will be me again hehe) fails to parse the previous sentence.

I am actually happy to be not working there any more. The pay was so-so degenerating to crappy when you consider that there were absolutely no bennies. I am doing my own stuff now , I am my own boss, and it suits me. Because I happen to have a great deal of confidence in my employee. And that makes the employee (me) feel GOOD and do their BEST work. And I would truly rather do my BEST work for someone I care about and make soda can recycler or typical musician pay than cash a crappy paycheck every two weeks and be stuck playing some damn game.

Knock wood I stay healthy and don't need major medical any time soon.
