Job Pet Peeves
 

As I sit here doing the one thing that detracts from being a teacher for me, I was wondering: What is it about your job(s) that irks you or makes it less than PERFECT?

Mine is GRADING PAPERS -- I am always putting it off.
My other thing would be meeting parents/teacher meetings.

Jobs
 

Well I work for a blood bank in the donor services department. I do so much work, and the think at irks me, is that I was hired on for part time work only and lately when the blood buses come in late, I am expected to stay overtime and do my job. I was hired for specific hours only and I can't afford to change my schedule daily, because they are off schedule. I have class in the mornings, I have my volunteer service to committ to daily,etc.
Also, they are quick to point out errors I make and highlight them and plac them on my desk! If it was someone else, they get, I know you are tired, just try to be more careful:rolleyes: Oh well, enough venting for me

Hello!
 

Hmmmmmmmm. Being in Special Education, 90% of our job is PAPERWORK! I guess that's why we receive extra $$$ towards our salary, but STILL...I'll probably have arthritis in my hand before I'm 35. :rolleyes:

1. IEPs
2. Pre-eval paperwork
3. progress reports
4. data collection
5. IEPs
6 IEPs
7. IEPs
8. IEPs


It's only rough when you have a large number of students on your caseload and their information is due within the SAME WEEK and you are NOT organized. :rolleyes: Yet, it's the idea of having to complete ALL of those forms. GOODNESS!

This year I only have 3. :D

Not Sure if I Understand
 

Let me make sure I have this right, those IEPs make you battier than a baseball bat:p ;)
Girl I hate having to sit in on those conferences and read them/apply them.
In one class two years ago, out of a class of 22, 8 of them had IEPs -- Hot Mess.

Mine is people having personal conversations (and not trying to hide it) and sleeping!!! I get personal calls too, but I can also work. I know that those other people are just sitting there talking! :mad:

A couple of weeks ago, this one chick was out all week sick. Then when she came back she slept half the time because she didn't feel well. I asked why doesn't she go home. Her response, "I don't have any more sick time."
I thought too d___ bad. It's not fair that she gets paid for sleeping. Plus, she got caught by the Manager and he didn't say anything! :eek: Had been me or the other girl on my team, we would've been out of there!

To be honest, I've had my fair share of jobs that were grueling. However, the job that I have now would probably be considered the "ideal" job. I'm an intensive in-home counselor and I work with at-risk youths (mostly teenagers). The hours are flexible and I receive an enormous amount of autonomy. HOWEVER...the ONE thing that I would consider to be a "job pet peeve" is...the MEDICAID PAPERWORK. :mad: :mad:

Although there is not a LOT of it, what we DO haveto complete is ALWAYS strictly criticized and many times we haveto REDO it, ADD a word or phrase, CHANGE this or that (Medicaid is FOREVER changing something). After a while one gets tired of this. I mean, when it comes to assessments, ISP's, 90-day review, etc., they are SUPPOSED to be OBJECTIVE, right? Well, there are people who review this stuff and FORGET that and therefore things become SUBJECTIVE. I figure if so-and-so feels that something needs to be CHANGED, ADDED, OR REDONE, then they should do it themselves, since obviously I did not do it the way that THEY wanted me to do it. You just don't know how much that REALLY urks me. :mad: :mad: :mad:

the thing about my job (i do technical support for an accounting software company) that makes it less than perfect: PEOPLE. Let me clarify. There are certain groups of people who make me cuss (and make me want to cuss @ them, but I can't) and make me wonder how in blue blazes they got their jobs:

1) the know-it-all accountant: this person will almost always call in SWEARING there is something wrong with the program because their income statement is showing a negative amount for net income BUT will admit in the SAME conversation, that they spent more than they made. :eek::confused::mad:

2) the know-it-all network administrator: the conversation goes like this...
they: yeah, i'm getting a file system error 35 on one of the workstations...
me: ok, what that means is the computer has lost it's connection to the network. you need to check the connections and/or remap the drive.
they: (clearly confused) ok...how do you remap a drive?

MY question is how does one call him/herself a network admin and NOT know how to map a network drive?? that's BASIC! :mad:

3) the person who wants help but doesn't want to follow instructions. if you wanted to figure it our on your own, why did you call? you paid for ME to tell YOU what to do, not the other way around. :rolleyes:

I could go on, but I will spare y'all the details. I'm trying to keep my blood pressure low. ;)

I work in Criminal Justice
 

My job pet peeves are longer then my arm.
The people I run into is beyond words.
But believe it or not, I can handle them, it's management that's my big pet peeve. Boy do we forget where we came from. The black managers are far worse then the white managers. People always talking about discrimination, but I get treated worse by my own people.

OK, because I'm in management, I may step on some toes.... OH WELL! :p :D

I like my job, but here are some pet peeves:

Employees that try to get over

1) If you're going to call out sick on the night of the R. Kelly concert ~ at least sound sick! :confused:

2) If you're supposed to be out on "sick leave" due to an illness, I should not hear how you're doing hair at the shop across town. :eek:

3) If I've warned you at least 3 times, plus given you that final warning, please, I repeat puhleasse do not try to act a fool when you get written up. :rolleyes: :mad:

4) You and your boyfriend should not call out "sick" on the same day - especially if you work together. The world is not that small. :rolleyes:

5) You and your friends should not try to rotate the weeks when your going to have a "death in the family"... :rolleyes:

I have more, but I'll stop there.

Outside of those, just the typical paperwork and unreasonable deadlines also gets to be a bit tiresome. I have to pull at least 50 reports a day. However, I may get an email 30 minutes to an hour before a deadline asking me to compile a report to be turned in to upper upper management, while also taking care of the needs of 10-20 employees, and not to mention talking to any customer that feels that they MUST speak to me. Now THAT's hectic.

here I go...
 

I am an engineer at a major telecomm company and the worst thing about my job is...the people. There are two groups of workers:

1) people with 20+ years in the company (many in the same job or department) [like my mom]
2) people with 5 or less years, usually young (under 35) and college educated [like me]

The bad thing is that group 1 refuses to change how they do things and fall back on the 'well, we've ALWAYS done it like that...' Nevermind the fact that the process or procedure (if there is one!) is outdated, unnecessary, costly or illogical. So as a group 2 person, I get very frustrated at times.

Fortunately, I am on a district-wide process improvement team where I hope we can make a difference. These workarounds are a real headache because they don't solve anything.

One would expect engineers to be logical, RIGHT?!

I work at Ohio State as a new-student orientation coordinator (and the only black, might I add). For autumn quarter alone we orient over 8,000 students, so there's never a dull, slow moment for me. My top 10 pet peeves are:

1. Students and parents who call us with DUMB questions (some of which have NOTHING to do with our office), which usually are already answered in the publications we've mailed them.

2. Students and parents who expect rules to be bent for them, like their situation is so unique!

3. Parents who brag on their kids or about the fact that they are OSU alums. "Who gives a flying ____?!?!?!?"

4. Student workers who don't show up, leaving you to answer phones, make copies, send faxes, etc. on top of all the big stuff you have to do.

5. Nosy co-workers who read stuff on your desk and look over your shoulder to see what you're doing.

6. Tattle-tail co-workers and co-workers who LIE.

7. Insecure co-workers who can only find something "wrong" with you, your work, your ideas, your goals, etc., because they think it makes them look better.

8. Co-workers who give you nicknames. WTF?!?!?!?

9. Staff meetings that drag on for hours, yet end without answered questions and resolved problems.

10. When the server is down and I can't send/receive e-mail.

I work at an advertising agency for Chrysler and I love my job to death! I put together the pictures in the car catalogs. The one thing I hate is when people see you in the hall and will do just about anything not to speak(look down at the floor, turn thier head facing the wall, etc..) But as soon as they need something, your a superstar!!!

Re: Hello!
 

I feel you on the IEP thing...I have eight due next week, and three are transfers, so we don't have a cumulative folders on these kids yet or old IEP's. Oh yeah, next week is Open House too. And Progress Reports are due Friday. :eek:


For all my special ed teachers: Why did I go to the Special Education Department Chairperson today, trying to explain to her that I can't write an IEP on a new kid that I have no information on (his former school hasn't sent his cumulative folder yet, and they actually told me that they are 'too busy' to fax last year's IEP :confused: ) WHY DID SHE TELL ME, and I quote, "to write something right quick." :eek: :eek:

Loan Forgiveness, and extra stipends aren't enough to DEAL with this mess!

For those that don't know I work at a shoe store. I've been there for twoyears and I could give a super long list of pet peeves but I won't so here are the main ones. I'm hoping that some of you will read these and stop doing these things if you are guilty.


Customers who constantly walk back and forth by the door with shoes in their hand making the alarm go off every single freakin time!!! :mad:

Customers who walk in the store which only has 5 ailes and asks where are the childrens shoes? men's shoes? CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK FIRST!

Customers who walkin the store and pick up a display shoe and ask DO YOU HAVE THIS IN MY SIZE? First of all I don't know what size you wear just by looking at your feet and second CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK FIRST!

customers who ignorantly switch tags on the boxes trying to get over on us. PEOPLE COME ON!! If the shoe is $24.99 there is no way on God's green earth that the shoe is going to be on sale for $7.99!!

when a customer KNOWS that they don't have enough money on their credit card and stand there asking me to try it again after it's declined.

when a customer walk in the store which has HUGE sales signs outside the store, in the store windwos, haning in the store once you walk in, and tags on the boxes and then asks WHAT KIND OF SALE DO YOU HAVE GOING ON?

When people constantly ask you is this on sale? If it's on sales it will have a tag on it LIKE THE OTHER SALE ITEMS
.

when people call our store for the phone number to another store. CAN I GET YOU TO LOOK IN THE PHONE BOOK FIRST!!

my biggest pet peeves of all

when someone calls the store and wants to know do you have a shoe in a certain size, then wants to know how much it is, then wants you to pull it from the shelf for them, then askes you about two or three other shoes. CAN I GET YOU TO COME IN AND LOOK AROUND. This is not shop by phone incorporated.

People we close at 9:00 not 9:05 not 9:07 but 9:00 p.m.!1 We have always closed at 9:00 p.m. so please stop coming in the store at 8:55 trying to shop. we are ready to go home. if you are in the store and you see us cleaning mirrors and sweeping the floor and straigtning the aisles that is your cue to GET OUT!

AND FINALLY, if you should make it to the store and find that the door is locked. do not knock on the window and ask what time we close, it is posted on the door. Do not beg us to open the door becuase you came all the way from BFE and you have to have a pair of shoes for tomorrow. I really don't care. If it was that important that you would have done it ahead of time. Furthermore, WALMART, my friend is open 24 hours!!!

HAPPY SHOPPING!!

Re: Job Pet Peeves
 

Say it isn't so!!! I soooo look forward to meeting my children's teachers. I have a 'back to school' night tonight ironically. I really thought that most teachers praised the fact that there are parents that do want to play an integral role in their child's education instead of just sending their kids to schools with the expectation that the school will teach the child. Is that not accurate?

No No You misunderstood me
 

I enjoy meeting parents on one level: the sincere parents who are genuinely interested in their children and their education.

I like talking to a lot of parents but last week at Open House I had a lot of parents in the audience who kept giving me these looks so maybe it was my perception but none of them bothered to introduce themselves. This was in a classroom with a lot of students who are non Black. Some of my parents are WONDERFUL and I LOVE THEM. There are some parents who I sit at games with and have a rapport with who extend the relationship past the classroom. I am a people person and I enjoy talking:cool: ;) -- like y'all didn't know huh?? Some parents just come off as standoffish and they are the ones who fall in the above category.

Re: No No You misunderstood me
 

Okay, I understand you... Even more so, you've introduced a train of thought that I hadn't considered. I am quite positive you feel you are more than capable of fulfilling the requirements of your position. Do you think that because you are black, parents of non-black children view you as less than capable? I'd never really given much thought to how some non-black parents may view black teachers. I gather it must be quite a challenge not only to meet and exceed their expectations but also your peers if they're predominately non-black. I am saying that because I feel that in all careers that we pursue, we have to go above and beyond to prove ourselves.

You Hit It on the head
 

You captured my sentiments wonderfully.

My school is predominantly white staff. The parents who come out are again predominantly white. They are always amazed by seeing me, they try to say they are shocked to see that I am so young:rolleyes: :rolleyes: . Then when some find out that I went to Wittenberg, a very prestigious college they get all buddy buddy with a sista.

People that ask "Are you busy?", "Got a minute?", "Got a Second?", "What 'cha up to?"

My answers are: "Wasn't I supposed to be?", "no", "no", and "work".

Grrrr. :mad:

OK, I'm thru venting now.

I recently started working at a clothing store in an "upscale" mall (every other car in the lot is a Benz, Jag, Lexus, Range, etc. and every girl has a LV, Gucci, Kate Spade, or Fendi purse--you get the picture) and you would think that it would be the attitudes that I can't stand. Actually I can put up w/ the attitudes to a certain extent, but what I can't stand is all of the folding and cleaning out the fitting rooms.:mad: People go and try on 6 or 7 things and only get one (if any) and leave the rest balled up on the floor. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: After going through that all day then we have to clean and straighten the whole store which takes another 2 hours after closing.:rolleyes:
And REALITYBLACK, I'm feeling you on the shoe store thing. I used to work in one and the worst part was (what we called) the "8:59 shopper."

ladies,
if you don't want to deal with the public don't have a job where you have to handle people and their problems.
my pet peeve is customer service employees who have nasty attitudes. if your shoes are too tight or whatever personal problem that you have going on in your life is going to effect your being polite and friendly when i call or come in to the store, STAY AT HOME! i don't expect to have to deal with your mood and spend my money at the same time.
and if the store closes at 9:00pm then don't lock the door at 8:50! i still have 10 minutes! don't start breaking down the equipment and food if you work in a fast food. if you are going to shut down at 8:45 then post that on the sign in the window.

LAWWWWWWWWD! i need this right now. I do the marketing for a Social Service Agency where I work with Social Workers that tend to analyze every little thing you say. I feel like I'm constantly in group therapy. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Can you imagine being asked all day, "Now how does that make you feel"
Please put me on your prayer list, because I'm about to toss a social worker out the window!

Complaints
 

ALL THESE COMPLAINTS...YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY A SISTA CAN'T EVEN GET A JOB...

IT'S ALL GOOD THOUGH, BE CAUSE MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED TO A LOT OF THINGS-EVER HEARD THE TERM OVER QUALIFIED? SHOULDN'T THAT BE ILLEGAL OR IS IT AND I'M MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING?

:mad: And what makes it even worse, those SOB's have the nerve to talk to you as if they have done nothing wrong!!!!!!

Job Pet Peeves
 

I totally feel you 12dn94dst!!! I am a Technical Analyst for Sprint and we support over 300 applications! I hate when someone calls you and tell you that something is wrong with the applications and you ask them what application sir/ma'am then their reply is well I don't know you can't tell what application I'm in? Can I give you my social security number and you find out what application I'm in that way? The other one that drives me crazy is when they want you to map them to a drive and don't know the path and they expect you to know it and get mad that you don't keep up with it like they are the only people that call in. Boy Icould go on and on but I'm so glad there is someone else in the IT field that feels me!!! I can only imagine what it is like dealing with accountants! Hey looks like your company needs to fill the position of Network Administrator! Keep your head up soror!

Water cooler!
 

People who don't replace the empty jar for the water cooler!!! :mad: :mad:

I have had to replace that big jug twice this week! :mad:

Re: Water cooler!
 

Ok, I feel you on this, but my peeve is when peeps don't make more coffee!!:mad:
Peeps leave like less than an inch left in the pot and expect the next person to: 1) get a full cup out of an inch and 2) make the next pot!! :mad: It's not that hard to make coffee, especially in our office. That is one of my bigget pet peeves!

Other peeves:

I work in auto claims, so i deal w/ insurance adjusters who try to get values on cars that have been in accidents or stolen, etc. My biggest peeve w/ them is when they call w/ an attitudes, no courtesy or act like I have 5 hands to type with! Geez, I try to be so nice and they get on the phone w/ horrible attitudes, etc. And since they monitor calls, I really can't get an attitude back (not that I would ;) ).

W/ my actual job:
Co-worker A comes to you and says: "Oh, you're supposed to do (insert task) like this."
Then Co-worker B comes around: "Oh, you do (insert same task) like this"
Um, can we get ONE way of doing things? Why am I wrong b/c I don't do a certain task the EXACT way you do??! And why does everyone do this ONE thing differently? I end up knowing like FIVE different ways to do ONE thing! And of course I'M wrong b/c I'm not doing it the way Person A, B, C etc etc is doing it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well Sorors and Sisterfriends...I just want to say be grateful that in this time that you at least have a job. I have been looking since December of last year and have still yet to find anything. And with this impending war, and the numerous lay-offs it is going to be very hard to find a job in the meantime.

One thing that I would like to say though that is a pet peeve of mine as an interviewee is this: I absolutely cannot stand when I go in for interviews and I get to the establishment early and I am not even acknowledged. OR, I will be acknowledged by someone, am told that someone else will be with me shortly...only to watch the person that I am suppossed to interview with take a personal phone call and my interview starts 15-30 minutes LATE afterward. I don't know, maybe it is just me, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth afterward.

Or better yet, how about my alma mater had a career/job fair...but no one there was hiring. Well, I can very well look up information about your company through the internet.

I don't believe in the CP time factor thing. I think that it is a cliche that we as a people need to stop saying, believing, and using as an excuse. I've always found that when you get somewhere late, you could very well miss out on an opportunity!

Enough said, and I'm gone.....

THINGS YOU'D LOVE TO SAY OUT LOUD AT WORK

1. I can see your point, but I still think you're full of ISHT

2. I don't know what your mental problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.

3. How about never? Is never good for you?

4. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.

5. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.

6. It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying.

7. Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again...

8. I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.

9. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

10. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.

11. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

12. Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.

13. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.

14. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!

15. I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant.

16. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

17. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.

18. And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...?

19. This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.

20. If I throw a stick, will you leave?

21. Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed.

22. I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.

23. A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.

24. Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?

25. Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

26. Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?

27. Chaos, panic, & disorder - my work here is done.

28. How do I set a laser printer to stun?

29. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted a salary.

30. Oh I get it... like humor... but different.

COSIGN on this!!! There is a guy at my job who says I'm always so mean to him. This fits our relationship to a T.

What irks me at my job the most? The lady that I sit next to. She grunts all the time. At first I thought she had a breathing condition, but I asked and she doesn't. And she gets louder when she reads. You know what it reminds me of. The grunt that Beavis and Butthead used to do. Everyone notices it, our coworkers, and even the cleaning lady asked me if something was wrong with her.

maybe prunes would help?....but I defer to those higher up in the medical world, like 1SD. :D

Tony06 You have

NO. DAYUM. SENSE.

NONE!

I hate when sh*t's goin on, and no one mentions it to me. My last job it felt like all the junior people were on the same team. Now, I feel like I need to watch my back around them b/c there's no "team" mentality. It sucks.

I also hate when mandatory work seminars are scheduled at times when I have sorority functions. Some of us have a life out side of the office. Also, don't ask me on Friday to work on something all weekend long to have it ready by Monday. You don't pay me that much....By Friday I have my weekend planned, even if that plan involves me, the recliner, cable and something fattening.

Tony, you stoopid. :p No prunes would not help. It's just her. :o

Maybe she's a No Limit Soldier
 

Make her say, "UNNNGGGGGGHHHHHH!" (NA NA NA NAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!)

I have soo many that I may run out of room, but I will list them in no particular order:

1. People who stand at my desk when they see me on the phone

2. People who clearly do less than me and get paid more than me

3. Going into work feeling like I'm back at high school... i.e., the two chicks on my team who are the oldest act like they are 16!

4. People who do not understand what Business Casual means

5. My company thinks giving us a 10% discount on clothes at Brooks Brothers is beneficial

6. Adults who just whine and complain ALL day!!

Is that enough??????????

Ever feel like you're ready to go home as soon as you crank up your car...in your driveway...on the way to work? That's the general atmosphere at my job. But I'm leaving in the very near future, so it's cool.

Co-workers: People that sit around and either stir up drama or keep it going by forever gossiping about everyone. You're ruining my concentration on the job, and the atmosphere is negatively charged. Thanks! You add a lot to the workplace. :o

Also, those people that can't do their jobs to save their lives, but they want to slow down your progress by constantly asking for your help. Can you retain any information that you're given? Throw me a friggin bone here. :mad: Extra irk points for having the gall to question my answer when you were looking for an answer. If you have all the answers, then why are you in my periphery?

Supervisors/Management: Bosses that don't have the cajones to make decisions, enforce rules, or issue write-ups/have a conference/etc. You're paid a salary for a reason, and it is not limited to your ablility to generate reports or delegate. If you can't speak to your employees about what your expectations for their job performance or you can't reprimand the regular offenders, you do not have the respect of your team. (True story happening to me right now. That's why a sista is about to be out!)

I know how this person feels
 

This is how we all feel at times!


Thought some of you would love/relate to this one .


You know, sometimes I hate working in corporate America. Why? Because of the damn cubes. Cubes have to be the worst thing created in the workplace. No privacy !

*People looking over your shoulder.

*All your phone business being heard by the world.

And what's up with people that walk by as slow as they possibly damn can, to see what website your surfing instead of working?

I hate that......You really want to see me go postal?

Hover by my cube too long......... You may get cussed out.

It's my cube !

Don't just bust up in there unannounced. Knock on the wall !

Stick your head around the corner to see if I'm busy.

Announce your presence ! Don''t just stroll in because you don't see a door.

It's my cube !

Don't walk past and ask me who are all the pretty people in my pictures that decorate my desk.

First of all, I don't have any ugly friends.

Second of all, I don't have any ugly family.

Third of all, what the hell are you doing lolly-gagging around my cube long enough to look at all the pictures that I have anyway?

Don't slow your roll at my cube, speed it up.

It's my cube !

Don't ask me where I got my plants from, my mirror from or my motivational prints from. That means you've been standing there too long, you better keep on walking. In fact, why don't you walk your A$$ to the nearest Garden Ridge, IKEA or Target? You wanna see decorations? Go to the damn store!

It's my cube !

If you see me on the phone, don't come in. Don't sit in my vacant chair until I'm done talking on the phone. What makes you think I want you to know all my personal business? I haven't summoned you.I haven't invited you to take a seat. I haven't asked you to laugh along with me at the jokes I tell my friends on the other line.

We don't need to correspond in person. That's what an in-box was created for. You wanna talk to me?

*Send me an e-mail.

You got work for me to see? Drop it off in the in box OUTSIDE of my cube. Damn, it ain't hanging there for decoration!

It's my cube !

*Don't listen for noises from my cube that announce whether I'm arriving or leaving.

Damn, I hate that !

*When I get here in the morning, I get here. I don't need you to say GOOD MORNING! loud enough so that the whole department can hear. Why do they need to know that I got here at 8:05, not 8:00? Oh and when I get ready to leave, I'm gone. If you hear me taking my purse out of the draw or zipping up my bag, I don't need you to say GOODBYE ! loud enough so that the whole department can hear you announce my departure at 4:45 and not 5:00.

Damn, I hate that!

It's my cube !

Don't think because I have staples, pens and notepads, that means you borrow some, I said no the first time.

If I say I don't have any, don't walk by to check and see if I'm lying.......I am !

I just don't want you to have it. Do like I did. Walk your A$$ down the hall to the big supply room and get you some things. What do I look like, Office Max?

It's my cube !

R-E-S-P-E-C-T IT!!!!

People who move stuff in my office and don't put it back!!! I understand that you may need to use my computer or look in my file cabinet for a kid's folder but when you are done with that, LEAVE!!! Also:

1. Turn my lights off.

2. Turn my computer off.

3. Leave my picture of Dennis ALONE!!! Admire him on the wall. You don't need to see him up close.

4. If you take candy from my candy drawer and you know I'm about to run out, leave me a note. I hate coming to work and having a taste for something and it's not there.

5. The stuffed animals are not for you. They are for the children. Leave my animals alone.

HOLLA!!:D My coworkers have heard me complain numerous times about this. In fact, they now leave money in place of the candy they eat!!
