When you called yourself my equal, I nearly bent over with laughter. Silly crackhead!

Is it absolutely necessary to drink excessively at the end of the week, at work events, and even at functions involving adolescents? Come on now--you're 38, not 18.

I really thought he would've been fired on his first day of work, when you could smell the alcohol on his breath from across the office.. not after 5-6 years of being clearly drunk at work. After years of nobody in the department being fired, there has been about one a week for the past two months. Cleaning house? Budget restraints? What is going on???

Why the hell have you not fired this guy? He does nothing and everyone hates him. You've had numerous complaints about this guy and he screwed up a huge project which you had me fix. The best part is it only took me 5 hours to redo the same project which took him 2 days to mess up - and there was absolutely no useful data on his portion of the project either! He's cocky and arrogant and you've had a number of people tell you that they refuse to work with him because of that. You're either completely oblivious (which I don't see how since everyone and their mother has complained about him) or you refuse to admit that hiring him was a big mistake. Please, please, please get rid of him. Just the thought of him makes my skin crawl.

Postive #1 of not having a coworker, starting today: I can bring the same thing for lunch everyday, and not have to hear "OMG - you're having that AGAIN?!?!?!?":rolleyes::D

There are two people here with my last name. One of them works on the THIRD floor. Don't get all huffy when I ask you to look at the name AGAIN because YOU got it wrong. I"m tired of being nice.

You come in at like 10:30, give me one thing to do, then walk back over two minutes later and give me something else to do, knowing full well I've barely started on the first which you know will take me a little while to get done. AND THEN you come back over a minute later and give me something else and go to lunch! All the while, all I can do is say "Ok, I got it." You totally take me for granted! What did you do all day that one day I called in sick last month - sit at your desk and wonder how to turn on your computer??? All this for a measley salary that I have to supplement with a PT job to make ends meet. UGH!

When he gives you something else, ask him to prioritize the stuff he gave you to do. If you dont say anything, he'll keep doing it. And write down what he gives you.

I had an interview today.
I completely aced the bilingual exam. :)

"Dear" boss:

STOP HUMMING.

It's gotten to the point where I have to listen to my iPod in the office. Even Linkin Park doesn't drown out your off-key humming. You even hum while talking to other people, including me. You don't hum any definable tune, nor do you stick to any particular key. I'm sure you think no one else can hear you, but YOU'RE WRONG. We're in an open-plan office, and everyone can hear you.

I'm tempted to rip off your nutsack, but that wouldn't solve the problem - you'd just hum in permanent falsetto.

Stop your damn humming before I have to get 24th century on your ass.

This is my one and only sock puppet, created specifically for discretion while I vent about my job. Yes it's that serious. Mods, don't out me.

To the idiot - nobody cares. stop bothering us and we won't laugh at you behind your back.

To the boss - there is NO way you can possibly agree with every single person who contributes to a discussion! it's one thing to be diplomatic but you REALLY need to take a stand on some issues.

--are you really all idiots? Can you not do math? What Is 50% of $24? Really, if you can't figure it out then you deserve to pay double.

--really? It is F-ING snowing in El Paso. You know what happened the last time it snowed? people left their cars in the middle of the road because the streets had frozen over, there were over 50 car accidents...and you want me to stay til 11 at night? Wow...douches!

It is too freaking cold in here.
I have on my sweater, buttoned all the way up and I am still cold.

Going to buy a heater today at lunch.

Good Thing #212 about not having a co-worker: I get my own bathroom. Not that she was gross or anything, but there's something about having your own private bathroom at work. The only problem with it now is that there is no heating duct in the bathroom, so it's about the closest thing south of Canada to peeing in an igloo.:p

doesn't anyone else here see that I'M SICK?! THAT I HAVE A FEVER?!
but nooooo i have to sit here, infecting all of you, just b/c god forbid i take a day off.

Why did it take you 14 years to become director of a company of less than 20 people? Oh, I know why. Your management skills SUCK. You're a good person and funny, but you don't know how to manage your time or me. I just hope that they realize is that the reason that stuff isn't getting out of the door is because of you, not me. You talk the talk, but you can't walk the walk.

Also, you can't bullshit a bullshitter and I see right through you.
