the uselessness of it all

sanpaku_backupTonight, as with all previous weeknights, I am stuck at work. Last night at least there was a deadline. Tonight, however, we are waiting for one last CD to be made to be checked. This has meant doing literally nothing all day. I got here at 9 and had 1 hour of stuff to do. Not a single god damn thing has come in since then. This is what happens when you are at the bottom of the shit pile.
I also learned that I did indeed get shafted 2 months ago. I had been a content developer and they assured me that but for my boss needing to hire a new person I could stay. Even after they hired 2 people to do that job no one ever said "you will not go to this position." I just had to figure it out. But today I was told unequivocally that they can't hire a new CD, though "we'd love to come have you come back and help us out again." Ie all the work of being in my department without its one major benefit, the 2 months where we have nothing to do and can go home early, so I can "help out" without actually getting a position or a raise or any of that. Yeah, I'm real fucking thrilled at the prospect! (As mentioned yesterday, my unofficial status means the head of the company treats me as the staff American Historian. Again, all the shit, none of the perks.)
Wonderful.
