I have a hard time finishing things I start at this company ...

There should be a name
for tasks that can not
be completed.

When I'm in my cubicle trying to program an idea the "creative" staff has either envisioned or stolen from another company, I never can seem to finish without something stopping me only to have to start all over again. It's as though the fates were against me ever completing a God's damned job around here.

Here's an example. One day, Aphrodite runs into my cubicle and screams "Sisyphus, I need four pages coded by tomorrow for a site on nail polish names." I have no idea what that means, but I figure, coding four pages with basic HTML and some pictures is probably what she means, so I start. I'm nearly done when Athena runs into my cubicle wearing that tight fitting dress and scarf that always smells of almonds, and she says in a voice that the muses envy, "Sisyphus, whatever Aphrodite asked you to do, delete it. We're not doing that anymore. Can you create, instead, a site for the top ten legal precedents regarding internet libel cases?" So I delete my nail polish name site and work diligently on this exciting new project for one of the most respected women in the company. Not more than 20 minutes later, Aphrodite comes back into my cubicle to ask me how the site is coming! So now I have to start over again. And this happens every day!

I don't know if it's me, or if it's just the way this company is managed, but I can't finish anything around here and the next day I have to start all over again! Do you remember that iconic scene in Cool Hand Luke, when they break Paul Newman by asking him to keep digging that ditch and filling it over and over again ? It's sort of like that, only he was at least able to stop after a while. But I can't! I'm here day after day continually working on one site, then asked to do another completely different one! For lack of a better word, I'd say working here was Cool Hand Lukian. I'll come up with a better word once I finish this site for Hera on punishments for philandering husbands.
