...when you don't know any of the terms used on a daily basis.

LOL! This is the new guy at my job. He's clueless!

When it takes you five attempts to get out of your car before heading into work.
When your best friend at work is the clock.
When you start taking far too many bathroom breaks.
When it becomes so boring that you find reruns on tv hysterical.
When you run out of vacation days and sick time in a big hurry.
When your supervisor laughs when you volunteer to do something for him.
When you are not invited to office parties or functions.
When the boss only talks to you about labor cuts or reducing hours.
When the boss continually talks about out sourcing.

...you leave the office to go home, and you feel like a zombie while driving. You think to yourself "What the h3ll did I do to deserve this?"

....when the alarm goes off each morning, you literally have to drag yourself out of bed and go through the motions.

...you dread the office birthday parties and gain 20 pounds because mostly everyone brings sweets.

....your office resembles scenes from the movie "Office Space." Yes, I did get the memo on how to properly staple vouchers. Also thanks Ms. Supervisor for telling me... and Ms. Chief Accountant.

....once you were a cheerful person. Now you are very irritable and your family members are concerned. You even cry at times.

....your incompetent supervisor doesn't know her job and then accuses you of trying to undermine her. She then starts to break down right in front of you.

....you turn in your two week notice and don't even have a new job lined up.

It is very true - I worked at a place like that. Also, the restrooms were locked and they took away our key in our area. We had to go to the front desk to get it where, in turn, they could keep tabs on how often we used the restroom outside of breaks.

When you are constantly helping your clueless boss who has no clue how to do his job, then watch the director and COO take him to lunch all the time because he is such a great manager...

Wow, that was an annoying ad.
So much stress co-workers are vomiting or spending time crying in the bathroom or at their lunch breaks. Or sacrificing their vacation to avoid termination. Fun times better than not working for sure.

You just described who I've become. Misery loves company right now.

When you are jealous of the guy delivering mail to your office...

Also, when you are constantly paranoid about getting fired and have in the back of your head "if I get fired tomorrow, how long can I live on my unemployment/savings until I have to work at McD's?," "will I tell my family if I get fired," "if I get fired, will I ever be able to get a job in my field again?"
