MERCER HR CONSULTING

These sadistic mutha fukkas have clearly been put on this earth for one reason and one reason only. To make my life a living hell.

I have been in this job for about 1 year and 3 months. During that time I have been through 3 particular survey cycles with these dickheads. 3 TIMES I HAVE ASKED FOR AN EXTREMLEY NECCESARY DATABASE CHANGE SO I ONLY HAVE TO RUN 1 REPORT INSTEAD OF 60 REPORTS.

Data came out today.

CHANGE NOT MADE

Now I have to spend 5 hours running bullshit reports out of their bullshit online reporting tool because none of them understand the most basic instructions.

Still waiting for that justifiable homicide law to be passed......

Being sick on my day off. Fuck this shit. Wasted the whole day eating cold and flu tablets by the handful, watching Robotech, sleeping, then playing videogames with the missus.

...Come to think about it... it wasn't THAT bad. BUT I was supposed to go out and get my hair cut, and also shop for a few things around the house, but just couldn't manage to leave my apartment. And to top this all off, I feel almost 100%! This means I have to go to work tomorrow and feel almost perfect. Fuck it. I blame the karma.

My new couches have now been delayed until next Tuesday, meaning another weekend of bringing the mattress off the spare bed out into the lounge room for relaxation purposes...

got an essay back from uni today, my normal tutor didnt mark it, and instead the hell bitch from darwin did, opening comments "reads more like "nicks thoughts on cars and women", followed by "your insight can be quite boring, sexist and cliched".

well i totally didnt mean any of it ! i dont intend to offend (only through visuals

), so i had a chat to my normal tutor and she thought it was a bit unjustified, and i left it at that.

Takes guts Fents, you should be proud of yourself. Regardless of the hurt or disconnection you feel right now every day gets a little easier. One day soon you will wake up and have one of those rare moments of clarity when you realise that you did the absolute right thing. It's one of the greatest feelings you will ever feel.

Until then lean on your mates and family and enjoy life.

Big ups to all of you going through break ups, stay strong!
