Work sucks, but "The Office" is great

Due to all of the crappy traveling I do, I get 4 weeks of paid vacation a year. While this sounds nice, it's not all it is cracked up to be. You see, with the way we schedule things, you have to plan your vacation literally at least 6 months in advance it seems. So as I was looking into doing a little family vacation in August...it looks as though I can't go thanks to a job that is already scheduled that week, and they don't care if it messes up any plans I was wanting to make. It's constantly work over everything else in your life, but yet they promote the company as a "family-oriented" company. What company requires so much travel and tells you that your hourly goals for the year are based on a 50-hour work week, yet claims to be so family-friendly? All I need is 10 minutes with an executive and I'd be fired for telling him how sucky the company really is, but I would sure get a lot off of my chest and feel better, not to mention get a really nice severance package.

Thank God for "The Office" to relieve me from the black hole known as work. Tonight's episode was on drug testing, based around a 1/2 a joint found in the Dunder Mifflin parking lot. The best part was Dwight investigating and asking a co-worker of Mexican heritage who immigrated in his childhood, "Have you ever...pooped......a balloon?" Highest of high comedy. I wish there was a Dwight at my place of employment to keep me entertained...
