bummer...

If you're going to complain about not having enough work to do, don't call me out in a meeting and accuse me of not pulling my weight.

Co-worker totally just did that to me in a meeting. I dropped my jaw and said, "Excuse me? You complain you don't have enough to do all the time." and he goes, "Right, I honestly think we could be doing more."

Great, why aren't you creating job aids, hosting more meetings, getting in more one on one time yourself? You just left early the other day because you said there wasn't anything for you to do. And then you come in here and say I'm not pulling my weight? What weight? Where have I adversely impacted your workload you say you don't have enough of? It's fine if you want to be pissed about something but don't go tossing me out in front of everyone just because you're upset about not having enough work to do.

The guy is older and getting ready to retire, thank goodness, so I didn't say anything other than the quote up there but I wish I'd of gone into that tirade above, but looking back and knowing who was in that room I probably made a good decision to bite my lip.

F*cker.

Is this the same :ass: clown that stole your the credit for your work and Best Buy bonus a few months ago?

 

[Illiciter]

nah if it were he'd be :violent:


this guy is in my department, but he is just short sighted and just wants to be pissed about things and when he thinks he's got one he opens fire.

the problem is that I do a lot just not anything that directly impacts him. I'm so good and efficient at my job that it appears I have time for everything, that's what he doesn't see, but all the reports and other things I send to the higher ups get seen so I shouldn't be upset, its just that accusations like that don't fall lightly on big wigs ears

 

[MacDaddyOJack]

If the big wigs know anything about this guys character then it probably just sails in one ear and out the other for them. We have a guy here who does the exact same thing and most people pay him no mind when he's ranting like that. It's funny when his name comes up and he's not around. It's like everyone is trying very hard to hold their tongue and be professional. Hopefully your boss knows how this guy is.

fastest flu ever

Friday I started getting the sniffles.

Saturday I was in full effect... snot, coughs, body aches, fever.

Sunday my nose was still runny.

Today, just light coughing, otherwise I feel 100%.


WTF was THAT?!

Granted I did sleep in and get well over 12 hours of sleep on saturday and sunday, but even so I've never had a sickness go that fast. Even colds last longer.

EDIT: Must have been the steaks I ate and beer I drank. I sterilized it!

Today at work there was a health fair.

I learned that I'm overweight, signed up to take a 30 day free trial 24 hour fitness membership, got a massage, a 100 pack of chocolate covered pretzels (I was slinging the mall rats lines the whole time), free sam's club membership, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, free stress test which determined that I'm pretty easy going, free small bag of jalapenos from the farmer's market, and got a sample pack of handwipes, bandaids, and some biofreeze pain relief gel.


I'm not quite sure what the fair was supposed to do with all that stuff, but I won't complain. I figure the free fitness membership for a month will be nice to abuse their free weights ...

 

[DaMexiRican]

Dam. That's pretty generous Last time I went to a health fair, the only free thing was condoms. And they were the cheap no name brand ones. Pass......

I don't know whether it was failure or success on my part but every single condom I've ever used broke


for some reason I feel I've shared too much.

 

[DaMexiRican]

Hahaha. That's why I'm a Trojan Man! I've had the same incidents with lesser known brands.

 

[Illiciter]

I broke the Trojan one's the fastest. I remember because I'd avoid them like the plague after I thought I may have had an unexpected illegitimate Phil running around...

 

[DaMexiRican]

Hahahaha. Durex is another brand I trust. But yeah, anything other than those two seemed to break EACH time! :eek:

 

[Illiciter]

I'm going to bash my brains out it's so boring today. Boss checked out early, my team is gone.. it's quiet as hell here... although I did browse a ton of animated gif threads!

So we had signed up our kid to go to robotics camp at a school about 40 minutes away from our house. In order to go, we asked her grandma on her dad's side of the family if she could watch her and take her since she lived in the same town. She said oh sure that's fine. So we pony up the $300 non-refundable fee and sign her up.


She calls today and says she didn't realize that she'd be in traffic at those times and just couldn't take her. We try to explain it's non-refundable and that she should have told us before signing her up. She said that the town is a big place and she asked us to make sure where it was before signing her up even though we told her it was in the same town and she said ok.

Cannot tell you how this will impact family gatherings, but I'll be sure to drop an upper decker in her toilet every f*cking chance I get.

 

[Horhay]

Have you thought of a solution yet?

Sucks man hope things work out somehow.

aside from breaking into her house, busting her head, and taking $300 worth of stuff? no.


It's like... you're supposed to be family. You said it's ok, and now you're backing out because you're too f*cking lazy?

Choke a *****.
