What irritates you?

I'm with you, CM!

having a computer in pieces all over the place and not connected to the internet....

I knew you would be THX. I was waiting to see which one of us was going to break and post it first. :chagrin:

I made it farther than I usually do. I still don't show any of my humbugness in front of the kid anyway. I live through her in that respect, but I know I wouldn't celebrate it if she weren't around.

You two need a good dose of It's A Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol or something. :eyeroll:

I love xmas - I just hate not having the time/money to do it up the way I want to.

That makes me bah humbug.

Spent 5 hours with my MOTHER in a car last night driving around town looking at xmas lights. She likes to count inflatable grinches.

thats what I was talking about kitch-

I musta been in the wrong thread :wink:

What the heck! Am I in the picture thread? :ooh:

irritate: Still being hung over from Friday night.

You two need a good dose of It's A Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol or something. :eyeroll:

Sorry, Christmas has become a crock.

It's all about consumerism, gifts, lights, family fighting... Things that shouldn't matter.

Maybe it was always like that and I just didn't notice. I do know it's gotten worse....

Well, lights are pretty! Christmas trees smell good! Christmas carols are nice! And children's Christmas pageants are the best!

I'm all about the pretty lights, and snowmen.

They can keep the rest of it.

speaking of which... ares? where are those pics you promised of your lights. I'm interested to see how your hard work paid off.

Optimists!

:smile:

Maybe it was always like that and I just didn't notice

See my post above where I said I don't let the kid see my grinch side.

I find it kinda funny that my mom must feel comfortable enough to say she thinks it's a crock too. As she's dropping off 40 presents at my house so she doesn't have to do it on Christmas. I haven't bought one present yet. :eyeroll:

It wasn't always this way. I still enjoy the TV specials, the lights, trees etc. I just don't feel like putting all the effort into it is all. I even enjoy the family I guess. But that's always a hurry up and lets do this then this then this then bye. What happened to the napping? :chagrin:

Giving 2 week notices to employees. Especially at this time of year. :frown:

That sucks CM!!!! I know how that feels. unfortunately here there is no such thing as 2 weeks. :frown:

I'm giving the notices tonight and tomorrow for the last day on the 30th. It really sucks when you're forced to do this because of a union agreement that was voted on 4 years ago when most of my employees weren't even here to vote on it. And because you have to lay them off in order of seniority, you don't get to keep the ones you like to keep.

Im sorry. The timing makes it even worse.

Keep your chin up!!!!

Thanks PM - The only thing harder than laying someone off that didn't do anything to deserve it is confronting someone about their poor hygiene. Think about it. It's a pretty touchy subject and needs to be handled very carefully. Luckily I've only needed to do that twice and not for many years now.

hehe... Haven't had to deal with that in the private workplace. But I was on the dealing end of many a GI shower in the army :wink:

I had to tell someone that once...it was the single worst meeting ever!!!!! Even worse is he told us the reason why is because he was currently homeless......

Four little words....

:eyeroll:

heh...we have a shower at work.. :wink:

and we recently went to a fragrence free office.....they even want us to use fragrencefree degergents at our home...

I say...write my ass up...what are you going to do?? fire me??? I doubt it...

steph has to talk to me about my hygiene all the time.

Stinky bastard.

wife bitching to me about my parents and my brother's family...........

planning holiday schudules....

:frown:

The dog frantically running from window to window obsessing over the neighbor's cat. And whining the whole time.

Turning 34 today and having everyone remind me that my ovaries aren't getting any younger. :angry:

too funny.... :goofy:

Happy Birthday Tatergirl.

as for your ovaries - just be glad, you don't know my mother...

trust me... my mother reminds me all the time about how she's the only one that's not a grandmother.

I'm waiting for the day when my mother loses me in a store (which she does often) and goes up to have me paged to the courtesy desk and some how slips in the page - and by the way...

Going to the grocery store and thinking I have potatos at home but now realizing I don't. :frown: Having to go back to the store. :angry:

Having to go to the bathroom, but too lazy to get up and walk... all the way down there.

Wishing for closer restrooms at work.

Finding out all the "not so good stuff" you did when you were super drunk Friday Night.

:sheepish:

I've had to fire my whole staff once and the only person getting transfered was me. My boss was impressed and said not even he coulda done that. I never had to do it during the holidays though- :frown: I know you've been through alot yourself this year - stay strong- big huggs-I am soooo so sorry about that mess at work-

Thanks but at least I didn't have to tell Tim to take a shower. :confused:

oh that picture of a scrub brush? I thought at first it was one of those holders with tube shots at the bar -that maybe if he had a drink he wouldn't smell the guy

I'll come over and do it for you....

do what? smell the guy for me?

nawwww, I like a man with some stench sometimes - :eek: :sheepish:
