Idiots who don't read things completely.

One of my cult girls mom's died on Monday. One of the women in the club is organizing getting a placqued park bench in honor of her.

The emails says... CONTACT JENN for more info.

These people email ME (clearly not Jenn) and say... we want to do this.

my response? well you better re-read the email to find out how.

ugh.

less bad day today, most everyone out of the office. either the phones are broke or people are sick of us and not calling, but it's manageable. Only two issues. One of the temps showed up with a HUGE hangover, went home "sick"..... Let the boss buy me lunch today, but didn't have time to eat it before it got insanely cold (btw, a cold big mac is disgusting, no microwave here to heat it with).

Monday's lunch excuse, I don't have time. The sales guy asked me today if I could stop time for a while so he could catch up. Think I need to give him that time machine from napoleon dynamite...

3 more hours till 5, boss is leaving in an hour... Oh, crabby salesrep lady from our main vendor called today and since the boss was out getting lunch I had to talk to her. If I NEVER talk to her again, it would be too soon. Guess that says something, as I'm very easy going and can usually stand talking to anyone.

Not being able to play winery league softball this summer, cause it's the same nights as cult night.

:frown: There are several people I'd like to throw a ball at...

Bummer about your co-worker. I hate when that happens. Being that hung over at work -SUXs.

One positive thing about not drinking, you don't have to deal with hangovers.

Watching the Twins game and not having them SHUT UP about the new ballwork..... yeah you got your new ballpark... yipee now quit trying to sell it to us. We'll be excited when we actually get to attend a game in there.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad we have a new ballpark. Lord knows the dome sucks. But it's like shut up already. Talk about the game.

You also forgot:

1) Remembering why you did the night before

2) Not making an a$$ of yourself infront of friends and total strangers

3) Decreasing the likelihood of you falling down a grassy hillside while trying to squat and pee in a bush, cause the lines for the porta-potties are 10 feet deep.

...not that I'd actually KNOW about any of that or um anything... :smile:

day 1 of a diet.

I'm not hungry. I'm not grouchy (yet) but suddenly I'm dreaming of all those foods I can't have.

I keep telling myself - buck up.. it's only a month.

Going to staple my bikini up in my office as incentive. And maybe some fat photos of me on the fridge.

Sick co-workers.

2 weeks ago I had a sore throat, but when I let my coworkers know, they almost had nervous breakdowns and said they didn't care if I was dying, come in to work anyway.

Today one of them called in sick with a sore throat.

There's compassion for ya.

I hear ya, I'll hold to a simple fact I've learned in life. No matter how much schooling you've had, there's nothing to compare it to real world situations. That's probably the biggest reason I never pursued more education (yeah I know usually it gets ya a bigger paycheck and yadda yadda, but personally I can't justify it).

ignorance.

So, a co-worker drops by my corner prison of a cubicle, asks if I have a copy of excel she can bring home and install on her computer.

I told her "Yes I have a copy of it, and No, you can't take it home to install it" Followed by a 5 minute discussion about the intricacies of copyright law and software piracy.

I even offered to download openoffice for her and burn it on a disc so she could install that on her computer and got "No, that's not excel, I know excel and that's what I want to use".

:angry: Fine, go buy it yourself... but don't ask me to break a law so you can have it free.

Mine's not working either, tc. :frown: Didn't really realize it until I was running around today. I'm driving up to Wisconsin this weekend and it's supposed to be in the 90's! Sure wish cars still came with those corner vent windows. I've gotten spoiled.

On an up note, I think I got the last gas selling for $2.57 in the area! They were changing the sign as I filled and everyone else had already gone to $2.89! Yayyyyy for me!

Prices just dropped here. was $3.49 a gallon at most stations for the 87 (cheap stuff)

I got it for $3.19 @ my flyers tho - but it's partly cause I live in the hood, and gas is usually a little cheaper there. Guess most people won't risk their lives to fill up.

heh.

irritate of the day:

Idiot dog owners. My friend got a dog @ xmas for his daughter (rott/pit mix no less) which he hasn't trained but is now a 45 pound dog, who is like a kangaroo that shreds everything in the yard.

It's actually a pretty sweet dog, but he doesn't deserve it or appreciate it, and doesn't really want it so I'm trying to find a good home for it.

I've given him a piece of my mind about what a $*(^()$*%_)$*%_)$!!! I think he is, but the dog deserves a better life, so I'm helping for the doggie - not him.

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: My boss.

Every time I have something nailed down, setup a good plan, implement something, get something running, whatever. The man always comes up with a question, always. No matter how much you prep for any off the wall question, he hits you with something you didn't think of, so when you try to come up with an answer, you sound like an idiot for not thinking of it.

I'm tired of sounding like I don't know what I'm doing. For crying out loud, if it weren't for me, this company would've never gotten off the ground, and everyday, I end up sounding like I don't have a freaking clue as to what's going on. It's borderline insulting.

Oh, forgot to mention my morning. So there I am, being nice and bringing coffee with me for my coworkers (yeah, that's usually how nice a guy I am). Struggling carrying all that stuff with me through the parking garage, when some teenagers driving through the ramp thought it'd be funny to blare their horn at me, which would startle anyone, causing me to fumble these cups around spilling half the contents on my shirt. Of course they just pointed at me, laughed and drove off. If I was more of a vindictive sort, I'da chucked one of the cups at his ricer car, but I just held my composure and headed in for the office.

Coworkers asked why I spilt coffee on my shirt, I just shook my head and went to my desk.
