Things you want to say (but shouldn't) outloud at work - Page 28

You know, if you would do your job, it would be done the way you want it done. If you're not going to do it yourself, then don't bitch about the way someone else does it for you.

And to the person who did your job for you - stop it. Let him face the repercussions of not doing his job. If his advisee doesn't graduate because he didn't file a substitution form, then let him deal with his advisee (and her helimom).

And, finally, to advisee's helimom - your daughter is a senior in college. Dontcha think it's about time to cut the cord? Are you going to escort her to her interviews, too? (Sadly, I think the answer is yes.) Step back and let her grow up.

Sheesh.

Hey, ummm, so that was totally my seat, other intern. I've been sitting there for two weeks until you decided to move into our office. And the day you took my seat I was even HERE before you, but I was talking to our boss before I came into our office. And when I came in, there you were. I think you should be the one stuck at the end of the table with the table legs in your way, because THAT WAS MY SEAT!!!!

To former boss (retail) ((I wish a retail job upon my worst enemies!)):
Stop bouncing my paychecks, I have rent to pay that doesn't get paid with bounced paychecks! And then don't tell me I can come by and take the $ from the register to cover your bounced checks when you arrive before you tell me to get there & take the $ from the sales yourself & *still* don't cover your bounced checks!

WHY did you hire me if you have nothing for me to do?

Re: agree w/ above quote & ditto to owner of last office job:

Side note: that office job (15 min of excel work for a 9 hour LONG BORING day) is what prompted me to go back to school & finish my degree! I couldn't envision continuing on & on & on...

What I would have loved to say @ that place:

to idiot industrial customers: Do you understand the concept of 'lead time'? Can you *try* to understand that your order has to be MADE & is NOT sitting here collecting dust, therefore ***NO*** we cannot ship out to you tomorrow the order you placed yesterday that has a lead time of 4-6 weeks!!! Plan accordingly!!!!

To infant room parents (where the child is your first one)- I CANNOT hold your child ALL FRICKIN' DAY because YOU DO IT AT HOME!!!!!!! Let them cry!!!!!! I do!

When I have 8-10 other infants to take care of, I'm sorry your child IS NOT the most IMPORTANT child in the room!!!!!! No, I can't hold them and walk around the room humming lullabye's or running water to make them fall asleep!!!!

If that is the care you want for your child HIRE A NANNY!!!!!

Not a job, but Dear National Advisor for the (non-Greek) Club I'm Part of,

When I call you for your opinion of some t-shirts, I would appreciate it if you didn't attempt to suck me into your personal vendetta with the former Vice President. In addition I apologize for not being able to jump through bureaucratic hoops today, I had this thing called class which I kind of like to go to to keep my GPA in Dean's List range. Also when you're yelling it helps to mention who you're directing your anger at, and not just gripe to me about the inadequacies of last semester's executive board.

Much Love,
Preston

To the department chair with whom I'm meeting tomorrow morning:

Thank God you're not my Chair. Your tendency to (attempt to) manipulate people by intimidating them is disgustingly juvenile. Somehow, you've managed to pull the wool over the eyes of some of the administrators (who will also be attending the meeting), and why they think you know what you're doing is beyond me.

If tomorrow's meeting results in you getting "your way" then so be it. But don't fool yourself into thinking "your way" is the right way. It's the easy way. And sometimes, the easy way is definitely wrong.

I hope your idea goes down in flames tomorrow. And I'm giddy thinking about being there to witness it. But if that doesn't happen, rest assured that those of us capable of logical thought will not stop advocating for what's right here.

Here's to wishing you a crappy night's sleep.

Love,
Syd

I know you're only in 5th grade, but you have a SERIOUS unibrow! Oh, but thanks for saying my eyes are pretty!

That meeting was nothing but a waste of time. Lip service and hot air will only get you so far. I just hope I'm far away from this place when the fallout starts to hit.
