ahem

Three days in and work is STILL wonderful. There are no ominous warning signs like at the previous two companies.

When I was at JackAss Properties it only took me a day to figure out that people WERE NOT HAPPY with their pay/treatment at that company. It did, however, take me quite a few weeks to realize that we were in fact, slumlords.

In the building my new company is in, they're remodeling the bathrooms on our floor. The first thing that I noticed was that they had laid out this clear tarp which stretched from the restroom to the elevators. The purpose of this clear tarp was obviously to protect the carpets from getting all the nasty construction grunge on it. I know this because whenever we did construction the other tenants on the floor would complain about how dirty everything would get and we'd tell them "What do you want us to do, it's construction, it's dirty."

Tarps cost money and therefore we never had tarps. We actually did think of it once. Then we realized that tarps not only cost money they are expensive and that's why it didn't happen. And the tenants continued to complain and we continued to pretend to be oblivious to the fact that tarps exist.

Anyway, I don't want to talk about that nasty place anymore. My new job is fabulous! It doesn't take much to impress me since I've worked at such crappy places, but dang this company blows my socks off! Not having to fight with someone about why the company should pay for certain things (i.e. mileage, work lunches, etc.) leaves me totally speechless. At my first company it was like, "Oh, you want us to reimburse you for driving 120 miles roundtrip to work the event? Well, if you REALLY want it I GUESS we could do it. For YOU. Even though nobody else does it. EXCEPT for you."

Although, at JackAss Properties I never in the end even bothered to submit my mileage reimbursement log. Because I know it was just not worth my time to hound them for weeks about a twenty dollar check.

I figured I worked enough seven hour days to more than make up for the gas and miles on my car.

Complaining never gets old does it?

Hey if anyone out there happens to be looking for a job in the LA area and is either in or looking to get into the scientific field. Let me know!
