After publishing that tardiness document I started thinking about a time when I arrived at work, late as usual, to find a note on my desk from my boss telling me to go see him. After I sat down in his office he proceeded to pull up records of all of my lateness. It really pissed me off that he would keep such records, at yet not bother to include all the overtime I work, the late hours I stay, the working from home I do, and the extra bullshit I put up with in order to make sure my job is done and done right.

And just now, today, a wonderful idea hit me. If companies keep records of all the shit I do that they don't like, I should keep similar records in regard to them. I should document the following things:

working late
weekend work
doing bullshit that isn't part of my job description
feeling underpaid
feeling overworked
working on a project that I cannot stand
filling in for someone else and continuing to do my job
my boss leaving early
my boss taking a 3 hour lunch to play golf
coworkers screwing off
doing someone else's job to meet a deadline
paying for shit out of pocket and not being reimbursed
skipping lunch in order to work more
getting passed over for promotions due to my age
feeling unappreciated when other company's get benefits I don't
not having the equipment I need to do something
working without training

and any other small thing that adds up to a reason to quit a job.

I think I'll create a LiveJournal account to keep track of it all. This could be an interesting project.
