When you fly to a place to do work, only to have the whole day wasted because of bad information. I do.

Also you can’t use the day wisely because you are constantly checking back to see if you can do work...but can’t.

Pictured, 3 years ago today I was also having troubles. B !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Your posts are getting more dissatisfied.  I'm smelling change in the wind soon...

I’ve been at the same place for 8 years. Everytime I get close to being fully disgruntled, something major happens — work related, or lately big life events — that pulls me back in. I don't envy anyone looking for a job but the market it good, you'll find something.

I had to travel to do a phone/network install in Manhattan. I was supposed to start on Friday night and have it complete by Monday morning 7am, no big deal. I show up to the office at around 2pm to inventory my equipment and talk to the management. The management informs me that the building is doing maintenance over the weekend and there will be no power in the building. I cannot do my job without power being in the building. So I just had to wait around till Monday for my flight back. It was the dead of winter so I didn’t do much of anything, and I had brought only work clothes.

I’m secretly hoping I get let go at my current job. I’m the only one in my company that works on the big (800+ phones) phone systems in my company. They keep telling me that they are going to hire an assistant/trainee for me, but they have been saying that for a little over a year. I get it, it’s a really tough job market for employers (not that it is a bad thing) and phone techs are few and far between. It’s getting to the point where we will have to just hire a completely inexperienced person and train them, but management does not agree with that. The money and freedom is a little hard to walk away from for just any old job. It would have to be an 80% remote and 20% travel job like the job I had in my opening paragraph. It was nice working from home and getting a little mini vacation every two months or so.
