Dude, it was bad enough when you were rolling in at lunchtime every day. Now you're not bothering to show up at all. "Working from home" my ass.

SOPi_Jawbreaker 10-12-2007 12:01 PM

There is a giant bug on the paper clip holder on my desk. I really want to scream like a little girl and make one of the guys kill it for me. But I think I'm going to have to be a big girl and kill it myself. Yuck, yuck, yuck!!! :(

Fleur de Lis 10-15-2007 04:38 PM

Stupid drunk man, quit coming into our store and trying to flirt with the girls half your age. You are creepy! Do you think it's a coincidence that the person you're talking to always gets a phone call??? You could at least buy something every once in a while to play it off. I know you are lonely, but there are better ways to make friends!

Benzgirl 10-15-2007 05:19 PM

Are you really THAT stupid or is it just an act?

aephi alum 10-17-2007 08:15 PM

Look. You have an office. With a door. You are one of the maybe 5% of people in this firm who rate a private office with a door.

So when you get on your speakerphone, SHUT THE DAMN DOOR.

AOIIalum 10-18-2007 07:16 AM

There are so many hours in the day. If you spend two of them complaining, don't come to me asking for more help than I'm already providing.

moe.ron 10-18-2007 11:23 AM

No, I didn't read the memo. In fact, I've never read any memo you sent.

Don't bother emailing them to me, I won't read it.

SydneyK 10-18-2007 04:54 PM

When I say, "Make sure you read these chapters and understand the concepts; there might be a quiz on Thursday," don't get all huffy when, on Thursday, you get a quiz over exactly what I suggested you understand. And don't roll your eyes at me, either.

Yes, I realize it's my job to teach you. But it's your job to come to class, PREPARED, ready to learn.

And yes, if you leave your cell phone on and take a call during class, I'm going to stop talking. And I'm going to look at you while you have your conversation. If it embarrasses you that the whole class is watching you talk on your phone, then DON'T ANSWER IT!

(I can't wait for this week to be over.)

1908Revelations 10-18-2007 05:13 PM

Please don't come to school Friday and my work day will go a whole lot better!!

Some kids need to feign illness more often!!

christiangirl 10-18-2007 11:16 PM

"Yes, an offer!!! Y'all can kiss my two weeks notice, I'm movin' on up!!!"

SoCalGirl 10-19-2007 12:18 AM

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

kathykd2005 10-30-2007 09:23 PM

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.

AGDee 10-30-2007 10:34 PM

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???

ZTAngel 11-12-2007 03:00 PM

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.

AlphaFrog 11-20-2007 01:46 PM

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

nikki1920 11-20-2007 01:52 PM

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.

SthrnZeta 11-20-2007 02:19 PM

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!

nikki1920 11-20-2007 03:03 PM

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. :)

aephi alum 11-21-2007 11:25 PM

"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.

Regards,
aephi alum

i've had enough 11-21-2007 11:52 PM

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.

epchick 11-24-2007 06:50 PM

--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!

nikki1920 11-26-2007 10:56 AM

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.

AlphaFrog 11-26-2007 11:05 AM

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

AlethiaSi 11-26-2007 11:15 AM

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.

RhoSigma2003 11-27-2007 10:20 AM

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.

AlphaFrog 11-27-2007 11:41 AM

Is it 4:00 yet?

cheerfulgreek 11-27-2007 08:20 PM

Ewwww.....you smell, like...really bad.

Still BLUTANG 11-30-2007 01:48 PM

NO, you can't tip me... i'm a LIBRARIAN, not a STRIPPER!!!

nikki1920 11-30-2007 01:55 PM

I am SO glad you got the supervisor position!!!! You truly deserve it!

I've had to resort to making lists and I have actually starting asking him when he wants some stuff done by. I appreciate the suggestion though!

Oh, and on another note, when you're in your office and able to take calls, can you please take your phone off forward so I don't have to get up and walk around the building to your office just to tell you you have a phone call??!! It would be a lot more efficient for me to just dial your extension and tell you over the phone. And it's not like you leave it on FWD so you won't be disturbed, you just don't get the phone system!!

tnxbutterfly 12-01-2007 01:05 PM

Dear boss,

Why am I even working for you if you are not going to listen to what I have to say? I thought I have a say as to who I want in my classroom. You and I both know that this child is nowhere near ready to be at school. (Oh by the way, thank you for telling me I was to eval her the day of) I don't believe for a second that mom has nowhere to take the child and therefore you feel like it's your duty to take the child in. The metroplex is pretty big I hear. I'm sure mom would have found something. And why are we starting a child when we have 2 week left before we get out for break?
This whole thing has FAILURE written all over it.

AlphaFrog 12-05-2007 12:02 PM

I could start a bonfire with all the useless solicitors' business cards I throw away.

What part of NO SOLICITING do you not get?

WOOOHOOOO!
Just announced: The office will be closed Monday Dec 31st - another 4 day weekend!!:D:D

nikki1920 12-26-2007 01:14 PM

My office mate is ghetto as all get out.
I dont need to hear Michael Baisden THAT loudly all evening..

cheerfulgreek 12-26-2007 01:56 PM

I hope the crazy lady finds another vet clinic to take her dog to.

aideclaire 12-27-2007 02:24 AM

Take ya'll asses 2 bed and leave me the hell alone.:D

nikki1920 01-07-2008 05:03 PM

Why, why, WHY is the state network down?!! :mad: I want to do some freaking work for once and now I CANT!!??? DAMMIT!!!!!!

SoCalGirl 01-08-2008 11:01 PM

Quit your moaning! Please stop asking me questions. You should have learned that months and months ago. For an anorexic, you eat like a freakin cow! <--Going to hell for that one. But it's true.

The State of Georgia is in the process of downsizing the statewide technology portion of state workers. Some of the duties will be outsourced.

The Ga. Technology Authority let about 46 people go today. I don't know if they were all programmers and/or administrative type people.

Employees where I work are probably worried about where they will end up.
