New Job, Pros & Cons:
Pros:
1. Compressed work schedule - work 4 9-hour days & the 5th day 8 hours with every other Friday off (my first Friday off is this week). Niiiiice...if it's not too late, I might see if my schedule works to head up to the Allanois fun.
2. Great company (non-profit) that is doing great things in the world so I am happy to be doing my small part in it and still making a decent living. It's a foundation for the advancement of military medicine - working with military hospitals & such.
3. Decent restaurants within walking distance for lunch.
4. Excellent benefits & compensation.
Cons:
1. Commute blows - I'm 35 miles door-to-door from home to office and if I'm lucky, I can get into the office in an hour, but sometimes it takes an hour and a half. Same goes for coming home at night. Hopefully, my committing myself to monthly train passes for the next two months will make the commute more bearable.
2. Alla's site is blocked here at work so I am typing this on my i-Phone. At least I can hone my text messaging skills while doing so.
So what are the pros & cons of your job?

Meeting horrible deadlines. (See Con #1)
The building is a converted sawmill that's a 100 years old, so the AC sucks.

Pros:
Easy commute. My home is about 20 minutes (less if there's no traffic) from my office.
Nice coworkers. Everyone's willing to take a few minutes and chat.
Easy hours. 8 to 5 and if you're a few minutes late or leave a few minutes early, no one says anything. As long as you get your job done, they're not complaining.
Salary is enough to pay for mortgage and bills with some left over for fun.
Company is a high tech company that researches and develops products with directed sound technology. Interesting work and there have been a few headlines with these products.
Free food and drinks.
All right benefits, including college tuition and books are reimbursed if you pursue more education.
Cons:
A lot of whack jobs swear that they're being tracked by aliens or whatever using our products.
My predecessors were not in the least bit organized. I've been here almost 6 months and I have only organized about 20% of the files and documents.
I don't have an office anymore.
I miss my office at my old job.

To make a long story short, I don't take any responsibility for anything I post here. It's not news, it's not truth, it's not serious. It's parody. It's satire. It's bitter. It's angsty. Your mother's a *****. You like to jack off dogs. That's right, you heard me. You like to grab that dog by the bone and rub it like a ski pole. Your dad? Gay. Your priest? Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

- Nasty decisions (Which patient can we afford to treat, and which is fUcked)
- Having to be nice to ********* because they are elected, even when they may be stupid, lazy & incompetent
- Having to be vicious to genuinely nice people who've tried their best
- Access to amazing computer technology, but no games installed
Like:
- Extremely generous salary with a solid expense account and 6 weeks paid holidays (+ statutory days)
- I don't need to seek permission for any decisions I want to make
- They pay for my Car
- My office overlooks the 2 Towers of Tolkien's youth
- I get to work with some of the world's experts in their specialism
- My PA has a telepathic ability to know when I need a coffee, sammich,
blow-jobsmoke-break or clear diary day - I have a team of talented, dedicated and loyal managers working for me who rarely kick me in the love-spuds
