Do you ever feel guilty when your boss gives you a pep talk and he asks you if you have any issues that you want to talk about and you say, "No I'm all set", but deep down you just want to spill your guts about the big black guy who harasses you whenever the printer farts, or the scary hillbilly chick who sweats on your desk when her mapped drives mysteriously unmap themselves, and rant how about how you used to do this kind of crap 10 years ago for 11 bucks an hour and the benefits that seemed so good on the surface really suck (adoption assistance??), and your boss is talking about long term plans for you (i.e. 18 months +) and how he believes the entire department and the $5 million software initiative depends on you and all you can think about is "if i can make it 6 months and only have to pay back half of the lousy 2g's (before taxes) they gave me to come here."?

They should do a 60 minutes special. "What you were hired for, what you do." Showing how they tell people "Oh we need someone with this skill set to do X Y and Z." And it sounds cool and interesting and you are excited, and then you get there and you end up realizing that they will never do X Y and Z, and if they did, they would say they needed someone new to do it...
Maybe he'll find your blog an then it'll all be on the table.
