^auto flushing toilets (ones that actually work) ftw. When I go to the bathroom I don't have to touch anything except the door, although it opens inward which is totally stupid. Toilets flush automatically, faucets turn on and off by themselves, and hand drying stations require no button pushing.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of retail annoyances. Therefore:

-People who ask to pay their credit card bills in-store. Sorry, no, why did you wait until the last possible moment to pay?
-Asking me if such-and-such a color will look good in your living room. Have I ever been to your house?
-People paying with checks, but making them out to different stores
-"Do you work here?"
-Customers who argue with managers about the return policy

My god I don't know what it was but like a week ago I was in Target and some old lady asked if I worked there. I wasn't even wearing red and I had a giant NASA id card hanging from my shirt. Then it happened with somebody else like a week later at Kroger. wtf.

thats too bad...we could have held up signs with each others TWW screenames on them like limo drivers do at the airport

It's only a one day trip hopefully...If I can close them out I'll make it back to Charlotte by the afternoon

I gotta ask tho...did you choose Deleware, or did your job require you to live there?

I wish they would clean out the fridge more here at my work. It disgusts me how people leave leftovers in there, and then continue adding to their leftover pile of boxes for a month. Yesterday I threw out a bunch of this girl's garbage that had been there forever, just because she is a huge bitch.

They cleaned the fridge out weekly at my last job so it really pissed me off when I'd lose all my condiments when I'd forget. Now they only do it once a quarter so that's nice. They're actually doing it next Friday at 3. What the hell is up with that? Lazy janitors wanting to leave early.

sorta both.

i knew i was accepting with this particular company. they're notorious for not telling you where you'll be located until a month or two before you start.

i didnt want to not know where i was moving to when i graduated when i accpeted 8 months before graduation.

part of my negotiations of parameters of me accepting was a position in wilmington. i like the city a lot, and it's like less than 2 hours drive from philly, nyc, baltimore, dc, and atlantic city... sooo yeah.

also it's the corp. hq for the company, and fuck working on a plant.

i like having a baller office with full wall windows looking at a park and not being in an explosion proof building with no windows and nothing outside but a chemical plant and the associated equipment.

and not ever wearing steel toes is nice too.

I didn't factor in the proximity to all those cities...In Charlotte we're basically stuck here unless we want to drive all the way to Atlanta or fly somewhere


I might have to be back up there in a month or so if I pull this thing off with a major fuckup...I'll holler if thats the case

phones, fucking goddamened phones. Everyone is required to have a dedicated line now, so they're always ringing and half the time, no one is in the office. Since we don't have answering machines they'll ring for 5 or 10 minutes. I've started unplugging them.

That's going from too frequent to too seldom. Once a month would be about perfect.
At my old job, the fridge really only got cleaned whenever someone got fed up with several months' worth of expired shit, flat sodas, and forgotten tupperwares cluttering up the place. Of the four groups on our floor, it almost always ended being folks from mine that cleaned it out, probably because the "kitchen" (roughly 4' x 8' room with fridge, microwave, and sink) was across from one of our offices, and if it started to stink, we were the ones who noticed first.

Our fridge used to never get cleaned, but shortly after I started someone's long-expired yogurt exploded. Then they decided that "everything" left in the fridge every Friday would be tossed, but as long as you have your name on anything in there it doesn't get thrown out.

At the computer lab job:

Students who hop on the only computer in the lab with a scanner attached, aren't using it, and then won't get off for other students, who then come to me asking where to scan.

So far, everyone's been all "Oh, sure, I'll get off the computer!"
...But this chick. She was so sulky and gave so much lip I was on the verge of telling her "Fine. If you want to act like a kid, I'll get my boss to come handle you"

At this job, one of them saw some porn I had. My unity profile was getting hung up at logout, so he came up to watch it happen, and I had been in the process of saving some porn from google reader to my USB drive, and so I had a bunch on my desktop, and one of the first files it hung on was some porn

Thank god it was the nice hot boss, and not the grumpy old one
