we are two lowly graphic designers struggling & fighting the good fight to muster the will to come to work everyday & sell our souls to the corporate machine (we produce crappy graphics in exchange for crappy benefits)...
let us tell you about the origin of our name... our boss apparently has a thing for spending the workday on three big objectives as follows: 1) perusing the net for images of high heel shoes & lingerie models, 2) perusing the net for images of model airplanes & finally 3) photoshopping boobies onto the lingerie models - yes, you heard that correctly! we haven't caught him photoshopping boobies onto the model airplanes as of yet but we'll keep you posted. we think he manages to squeeze in about one hour of "work" a day if you count looking over our shoulders and making sure that we are not using any fonts besides Times & Univers, as work...
we have to laugh to make it through our days. check back for stories of our hijinks, lunchtime adventures & more!

I'm sorry that you are in that situation. It sucks being somewhere you hate.

You said boobies...
Is your boss a nightmare? Not just annoying, but so completely lacking in people skills as to possibly be a sociopath?
There may now be more you can do than simply renting "Office Space" for the 11th time. The Los Angeles Times reports that lawmakers across the country are considering legislation that would give workers grounds to sue their superiors "for being, basically, jerks."
The specific standards for behavior that would justify such lawsuits are still being worked out. At least four state legislatures, including those in New Jersey, New York, Vermont and Washington, are considering such a measure.
Impetus for the legislation comes at a time of rising awareness of bad boss behavior, the L.A. Times reports. The AFL-CIO is set to announce the winner of its My Bad Boss contest based on who had the most ghoulish tale of boss misbehavior.
Top contenders include a boss who called the office every morning to give instructions as he brushed his teeth and conducted other business in the bathroom. Another boss told his workers to use pencils when he was told the office was so cold that the ink in their pens stopped flowing.
To those who would argue that pushing around employees has been a part of bosshood since the advent of work, the Times offers a few theories to explain the recent surge of worker whining.
Some experts contend the ranks of bullying bosses are growing as short-staffed companies tap managers with lousy people skills. Other experts point out that "baby boomers on the cusp of retirement and restless younger employees are more likely to complain or quit than suffer in silence."
The disgruntlement is fairly widespread. This year the Employment Law Alliance, a San Francisco clearinghouse for employment and labor lawyers, conducted a nationwide survey and found that 44 percent of employees said they worked for an abusive supervisor.
All good stuff to remember the next time your boss says, after asking you to work Saturday, "Ahh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too."
AWESOME!!!! That means that bosses will be able to sue their employees for being complete inocompetent morons as well! Woohoo!!!!!!!!! Finally, some relief! :)
