Be nice, just act frustrated all the time.

8/19/2008 3:53:16 PM

oh yeah, i already do that...frustrated is my middle name.

that's why i have to get away to tdub to forget the annoyances. otherwise i'd blow up.

8/19/2008 3:55:03 PM

Managers always giving me a complex, long job to do 30 min before we close

Then complaining when I don't get the closing duties done by 5 min after close

8/20/2008 12:17:24 PM

where i intern...they always have fattening snacks to eat...i wish they had more healthy snacks to eat...i've had like a cup of m&m's and 2 brownies today, up til now at least

8/20/2008 12:20:55 PM

just found out that the recently fired receptionist which I frequently bitched about let 87 voicemails pile up in the general mailbox wtf!

8/20/2008 12:29:04 PM

^^ That's pretty much everywhere. Nobody's going to bring in carrot and celery sticks, because if they did nobody would eat them. (except me because I'm a freak)

8/20/2008 12:33:57 PM

me and you both sister

8/20/2008 12:35:25 PM

And just so you don't think I was completely serious about that statement, I know some people would eat them, but send out an e-mail saying there are brownies in the kitchen and one saying there are carrots and guess which one gets people moving faster. That and people bring in crap so they don't have it in their own house to be tempting a lot of the time.

8/20/2008 12:37:20 PM

haha, being told to show up at someones office in about an hour, and then when you go they are like "lets meet after lunch"...lolololololol

8/21/2008 11:17:42 AM

My work is making me think I am crazy right now. One of my co-workers recently left, and all evidence points to the fact that she sent me something we now need before she left, but I just can't find it anywhere, and neither can anyone else. This is why we need better file names.

8/21/2008 11:20:37 AM

REC and RISC are not the same project
stop filing RISC stuff in the REC folder
and stop billing the RISC contractors for the REC stuff
dumbass

Missing some random gossip that circulated like wildfire for two or three days. Then hearing about it a month later and everyone's all surprised and shocked to find I didn't hear it.

I'm sorry, I don't watch soap operas.

8/22/2008 3:01:06 PM

8/27/2008 2:48:17 PM

its important to save water

8/27/2008 2:49:47 PM

If you are wearing a shirt supporting a presidential candidate...

Don't sit in front of the damn grocery store and ask me to bring you things, then say "I don't want it" to each thing after I take 5 trips around the store.

It really makes me think you are a typical Obama supporter.

8/28/2008 10:34:32 PM

Supervisors and other members of leadership that don't keep confidential convo's with their employees PRIVATE.

8/28/2008 10:36:05 PM

^^why don't you tell them to go get it themselves?

8/28/2008 10:37:33 PM

My boss gets paid a lot more than I do

I can do at least half of his job better than he can

He sits back in the office and watches CNN and ESPN most of the time now.

9/2/2008 11:59:02 AM

people that shit in the urinal

9/2/2008 12:01:15 PM

^ that is an annoyance that extends beyond the workplace

9/2/2008 12:03:12 PM

Friday nights are crazy busy, so we each have assigned posts we aren't supposed to leave for more than 2 minutes

Boss has me stand at his post for more than an hour because he's "having fun socializing", leaving my register closed

Lines of people 5+ deep pile up at other registers, so I run back and forth between his station and my register

While he does NOTHING

This is a regular occurrence now

9/2/2008 12:05:03 PM

i'll be damned if i'm gonna waste a sick day when i'm actually sick, i count those as vacation

9/2/2008 12:06:05 PM

yea, a co-worker of mine is in the next office coughing up her lungs... I asked casually if she was sick or feeling bad. she replied that she [cough] was [hack] sick, but is [phlem] better now.

9/2/2008 12:06:16 PM

My "boss" is the most recycling back to mother nature type dude ever, but he is the first to be at the doctor so he can get a prescription to take care of a sniffle.

9/2/2008 12:09:59 PM

This woman rents a room from us and came in with strep throat and an ear infection. She said she's "better" now but is going back to the doctor for the ear infection. She doesn't sound all better though.

9/2/2008 12:11:20 PM

Squeaky chairs.

Contractors who say they can compact sand using water.

9/2/2008 3:18:50 PM

I've been here 40 minutes and I'm ready to leave because people are trying to start drama.

I need another job that doesn't involve talking to people who forget that they emailed us yesterday.

9/3/2008 8:40:54 AM

My boss is back with his personal mail shit again lol. (Where's David when I need him so I can complain).

He came up to my desk yesterday with his netflix and other mail asking if I had a stack of mail to take out and I told him that I had already been down to the mail and I didn't have anything else for the day. He just stood there and was like "Well uhhhhhh ummmmm ok thanks" and sat his mail down and left. Later he leaves to go home at 5 and walks right past my desk and his mail, but leaves it there for me to take for him.

Time to seriously job hunt!

9/3/2008 8:45:36 AM

So take his Netflix and keep the movie for yourself.

9/3/2008 9:21:27 AM

or just leave it there. if he says anything, ask him how his personal mail fall into your job description. but you might wanna start looking for another job first.

9/3/2008 9:33:15 AM

Shred it.

9/3/2008 9:34:13 AM

There's David!!!!

Yea I'm searching!!!! Hahaha shred it. I thought about putting it in my drawer for a while and then putting it in the mail in a month or so.

9/3/2008 9:38:19 AM

Why didn't you address the issue when he started to walk away?

9/3/2008 10:06:34 AM

I thought my WTF are you doing expression would give him the hint. It usually works concerning other matters.

9/3/2008 10:10:01 AM

Usually saying it out loud works best.

9/3/2008 10:22:47 AM

get creative E!

9/3/2008 10:26:01 AM
