Why bother?

You put in lots of effort and maybe at the end you collect one day off (highly unlikely, but it has happened. More likely you just don’t get anything though). Nobody even considers you (or your colleague who admittedly does more work than you and hasn’t screwed up recently) for CFC promotion (this can be attributed to a problem with the department structure and the lack of official NSF positions in it, but I’m still bitter about it. Besides if you really plan on long-term use of NSFs is it so hard to put in some actual positions for them? Obviously nobody cares enough).

But you screw up one time and they happily throw the book and 7 extras at you.

Why, in this organisation, is reward so incommensurate with punishment?
Why, in this capacity, is pay, oops, I’m sorry, “allowance”, so incommensurate with work done/actual requirements?
Why, in this country, are obligations so unfairly piled onto one group? (and because of a fucking penis – wow what a great reason)

I don’t know. But I do know I’m really sick of this. This is going to be a pretty lousy week, and my end of year is really going to suck (let’s give him duty on the 24th, 26th and 31st! Hey at least we left him the 25th! How nice of us!).

Pass quickly so I can say goodbye and fuck you very much to this piece of shit organisation, fucking 55 more days.
