People who think I want to listen to their FOUR screaming babies for two hours

Jesus Christ, take the kid outside and beat him already

We got a new printer about a week ago, and apparently it puts more of a strain on the system than the old one, because now every time someone prints something that has enough pages to cause it to run for more than a few seconds at a time, my computer and phone system loses power. This will not do.

I'm lovin this tea thing

I don't even drink tea but they got all sorts of cookies and sandwiches

I'm thinking of instituting tea time back in our charlotte office whenever I go back

If I go back

6/30/2008 11:24:41 AM

Is tea time all the time? I thought it was supposed to be in the afternoon.

[Edited on June 30, 2008 at 11:26 AM. Reason : and that is kind of an anti-annoyance]

6/30/2008 11:26:10 AM

It can be both mid-morning and mid-afternoon.

6/30/2008 11:27:23 AM

Oh. Good to know.

6/30/2008 11:29:53 AM

someone who thinks she's a boss who tries to send me on a delivery at 1:59pm, when we close at 2. To a customer who, in all likelihood, wasn't going to tip for shit, and for whom the delivery free (of which I get $4) was waived.


This same someone who calls me at 1038, wanting to know if I'm on my way in, when I'm not due in til 1045. And then tells me to head to a restaurant to pick up food. Restaurant opens at 11. I get there 1102: food's not even ready. And wasn't due to the customer til 1125. I delivered it ten minutes early. Apparently, this is a common thing to do. Another driver told me she'd sent him on a delivery due at 1230 at 11.

The same person who wants to have a drawn-out three minute conversation, where the only important words comprise two sentences. Oh, and she gets snippy when I cut to the chase for her.

And then, when I'm telling her that I can't run this one delivery that I was going to squeeze in because of dumbasses in traffic putting Peace St at a standstill, says 'Well, I don't have anyone else to do it!'. Apparently, she was on the brink of tears because I hung up on her. What she was going to say next, apparently, was 'But I'll do it myself'. Look, that means you have someone else to make the delivery, and you should say that. When I'm surrounded by dumbasses in running cars, and in a massive rush, I do NOT have time for you to sort out your damn contradictions in my ear. Talking on the damn cell phone is at the very bottom of the list. Next time, I'll call much later, and then you can figure out who is going to go do the delivery.

This same person gave me directions that sucked ass, and when I call to say 'look, I ask for concise directions to avoid using google maps while driving, and these directions are of no help', starts repeating the directions she sent verbatim.

She also thinks other people in the office want to hear the drama from her other job: stripping.

I derive so much pleasure from setting this chick off. It's too easy, but it's so not worth the hassle.

7/1/2008 11:25:38 PM

do tell.

7/2/2008 8:53:04 PM

is she hot?

7/2/2008 9:02:02 PM

and i think you've told us before, but where do you work? kinda sounds like you're going past annoyance to pain in the ass

7/3/2008 8:06:55 AM

^^^^ Fuck me, that sounds like a chick I have to deal with at work. Luckily I generally only deal with her in a social context, but she certainly thinks she's the boss. But she's one of the lowest people on to totem pole. One of these days someone is going to punch her in the throat.

7/3/2008 8:42:12 AM

SOMEONE KEEPS TAKING THE COMICS OUT OF THE PAPER IN THE BREAK ROOM!!!

STOP IT!

7/3/2008 1:51:07 PM

I fucking changed my number three months ago and told you the instant I did it.

So stop distributing my old number on the packages that go out to other photogs.

THEY NEED MY NEW NUMBER, AND IT IS NOT HARD TO DELETE AND RE-ENTER TEN DIGITS.

7/3/2008 1:58:22 PM

How the decision if we get to leave early before a holiday rests on whether people asks or not. This sucks.

7/3/2008 2:02:54 PM

someone at work has started to leave time on the microwaves.

it is getting on my nerves.

7/4/2008 3:59:14 AM

they let me use my laptop and i can go on tww

7/4/2008 4:03:48 AM

so the bosses wife comes in and asks me to help her get the pictures off our company camera.

she says that she has 10 usb ports on the front of her computer on each side and she has tried all of them but none of them will connect.

i walk into her office and ask her to show me whats she is trying to plug the camera into....and she plugs it into the PC vents

that just made my damned day

7/9/2008 12:05:01 PM

when the receptionist gets angry b/c the phone is ringing.

and moreso than that, when she's on the phone talking to a family member about their upcoming trip to the shore/camping/whatever and the phone rings and she gets upset that i don't hurry to pick it up.

7/9/2008 12:07:36 PM

shit, i just had the office manager send out a memo reminding everyone to keep their fucking cell phones on vibrate

this new lady keeps hers on super loud and she is in the office right beside mine. someone will call her 3 X back/back/back. it got so annoying the other day that i just got up and shut the door to her office since she was in a meeting.

another thing we are supposed to do is put our phones on DND (do not disturb) while we are in meetings so our phones do ring off the hook...yeah, she doesntt do that either

7/9/2008 12:09:46 PM

none of our workers wear nametags and some of the interns only work like one day a week

People watching the news in the break room and making unbelievably uninformed, ignorant and unfounded statements about every single news story. I will not get into political or religious discussions at work so these comments go uncontested.

those mass office emails that are clearly only directed at one person, who happens to be me , for throwing my empty takeout carton in my own office trashcan! apparently these are only used for "minimal" trash any food cartons shoud be thrown in the kitchen trashcan...fuck no im not sending a received response!

7/9/2008 2:38:57 PM

^ yeah, and that whole "reply to all" shit drives me nuts

One of the more annoying things is when fucks take the last of something sitting on the counter in the break room (donuts, candy, etc) then leave the box for the cleaning lady to carry it 3 ft and put it in the trash.

7/9/2008 2:40:30 PM

drink the last of the coffee and not start a fresh pot

7/9/2008 2:41:22 PM

^^lol

7/9/2008 2:42:21 PM

When someone sends an email to the entire department and once you have read it, it asks if you want to send back a message saying that you read it. Now if you have a department of like 40 people, do you really wanna get 40 messages back saying that they received it?

7/9/2008 2:44:15 PM

that co-worker who's seen you bring your lunch every freakin day, but one day your running late so you don't have time to pack one so you ask them if they wanna get lunch, thereafter they proceed to ask you every day from now on "so what we eating today?"..fucker that was 2 months ago and i haven't ordered lucnh since!

7/9/2008 2:45:33 PM

those fuckers that always whine about how "OMG tiiiiiurd" they are

you know

so you'll know how important and cool they are

you sound like a fucking idiot who can't prioritize worth a shit

leave the water cooler immediately

and jump off the roof

7/9/2008 2:49:33 PM

It annoys me that the receptionist gets mad when I ask her to put a call in to my voicemail.

7/9/2008 2:55:56 PM

Not really an annoyance because I think it's hilarious... but one of the people I work with... she says "frick" like it's going out of style...

I always laugh because she sounds just like Sarah Chalke's character on Scrubs...

7/10/2008 11:26:42 AM

what is frick

is that like the PC fuck

or something else altogether

7/10/2008 11:27:36 AM

ugh at the office i used to work at we were only allowed to watch ONE thing during lunch..."who wants to be a millionaire" because this one woman HAD to watch it and she got really upset if she couldn't. AND if you didn't sit in your "assigned" chair in the lunch room. there weren't actually assigned chairs but like, people claimed their chairs and got mad if someone sat in them??

so like when who wants to be a millionaire got interrupted for the VT shooting news coverage, the woman got REALLY mad and started like cursing the news

and when the ACC tourney was on, we couldn't put the channel on that. ONLY who wants to be a millionaire EVEN if it was a repeat (which was like 80% of the time) and she already knew all the answers.

7/10/2008 11:32:39 AM

She sounds mentally retarded.

7/10/2008 11:34:00 AM

yea and this same woman smoked so obviously she took smoke breaks and talked on her cell phone while she took them. but no one else got to have 8 10-15 minute breaks during the day to do what they wanted

unfair.

[Edited on July 10, 2008 at 11:36 AM. Reason : .]

7/10/2008 11:35:48 AM

i'd change the channel every fucking day.

7/10/2008 11:37:59 AM

any of yall got those people that have to stop and say something to you for like 15 seconds EVERYTIME they walk down the hall?

7/10/2008 11:39:56 AM

If you know that someone is going to log into your work computer to fix something, looking at porn while you are on the telephone to get that done probably isn't the best idea.

And the woman who I'm on the phone with works at a prison

7/10/2008 12:46:04 PM

keys that will unlock some doors but won't lock them, and other doors that I can lock but can't unlock

The fact that we really can't even use the term "common sense" because it just doesn't exist around here.

How has this place not been completely shut down is beyond me.
