Today was possibly the worst day I’ve had doing these software conversions. The people I’m working with will NOT talk to each other, I just found out this afternoon that spots that have been supposed to be playing since yesterday haven’t been playing because nobody bothered to set them up in the on-air system, the only two people who are worth a damn here are college students and school is back in session so they’re part-timers now, one of the idiot engineers keeps asking me for help with another company’s software that I know nothing about and won’t believe I can’t support it, blah blah blah blah blah. This day has just been a nightmare from the minute I walked in the door, and there’s every indication that tomorrow will be even worse.

The crowning glory was when the day mercifully ended and I was walking out the door. I ran into the General Manager, who asked me how things were going, and I told him bluntly that today had been a complete clusterfuck. His response?

“Can you find out for me what it would cost us to have you stay longer, at least until next week?”

They don’t print that kind of money, buddy.
