IT people - please stop installing loathsome screensaver images on our computers.
Getting staff to avoid unnecessary noise in a hospital is fine - but do you have to ram the point across with a series of photos of cute cute cute widdle kids with their fingers to their mouths saying shush?
Maybe the irony factor is supposed to be effective - as if you posted photos of sewer workers scratching their butts while reminding us to wash our hands. But the kiddie images have been up only a few days and are already massively annoying.
Michaels, is it really necessary to give me several hundred feet of register tape for a couple of skeins of embroidery floss? And stop handing me those stupid flyers for your craft classes. I don’t care and it’s just more trash for me to toss out.
Ladies, please. A whole note is only held for four beats. Stop singing! You’re really making it hard for me to keep time. And you just can’t come in any old time you want to! The score clearly says half rest on the down beat. If you aren’t going to follow the rules, then sign up for “Free-Form Handel’s Messiah” next year and get all jazzy!
So? It’s just a club for people with frustrating sisters. There’s no minimum deal for it. Honest!
Heck, like The Right Honorable Wicked Stepmothers Traveling and Debating Society*, you can join simply on the expectation of having an annoying sister.

Usually, usually, when crap like that happens, it’s because someone in aministration said make it so. Or maybe the board. Occasionally drek like that comes out of marketing. IT usually has enough to do without making work from ourselves.
But since we’re ranting IT in hospitals. Quit installing crap that you don’t need to do your jobs and then come whining to us when your computer is slow or is throwing popups all over the place. Yahoo games are not a supported app. Weatherbug isn’t supported and really pisses us off. I know it get’s slow at night sometimes. Bring a book.
ETA: And if you open a high ticket because we’ve started blocking your fantasy football site, someone will be down directly to shove a keyboard up your ass. (It happened. The call, not the keyboard. Dammit)
Fuck Obama’s dog. I donn’t give a shit if the buys or adopts a poodle nor do I care if it’s for his widdle baby or Dick Cheney’s ugly mug. I have heard more about this god damned dog than I ever wanted to.
Influential Panda, I don’t care about that. I’m disgusted that the political newsie types are now trying to start the 2012 election cycle, already, by running headline stories about who the Republicans will run for President. :eek:
Can’t you fucking bastards wait til the inauguration, at least?
Every time I start trying to exercise regularly, something happens. Doing aerobics? Get the flu. Lifting weights? Get a frozen shoulder. Walking regularly? Time for some hip joint pain. I think a higher power is really good with me sitting on my fat ass and not exercising (except I really want to exercise regularly and not have such a fat ass ).
Hey bridezilla. Fuck you and your fucking registry. A $200 creamer? Really? An $800 serving platter? Are you out of your fucking mind? Enjoy the ONE $30 wine glass I can afford to give you, bitch.
Oh and boss-thanks for telling me you’re giving me this project to work on because it’s a waste of your time. No really, I appreciate the constant reminders that you are important and I am not.
Whole Foods, why did you stop making your utterly awesome store-brand whole wheat and white sandwich breads? These products were absitively topnotch. Their whole wheat was thick and spongy and fine-grained and made the world’s best tuna sandwich.
Now they’re passing off some sort of B-grade bread which is scarcely better than the ho-hum bread at lesser supermarkets. It used to be that the store bread was one big reason I went to WF. Now there’s one less reason - that and the fact that the butchers nowadays are surly and reluctant to wait on you. I’m getting disenchanted.
Reverse mini-rant - arthrotec is a miracle drug. Two days later and my debilitating pain is almost gone - it’s down to a dull ache that I think I can stretch out. So what if arthrotec is a mutagenic of human germ cells? I ain’t planning on having kids.
Oh, yes you DID get something back on those expenses, co-worker. Here, let me attach all the emails where we talked about it for the third time. And, I know you’re swamped - so am I - and little details are hard to keep track of. I wouldn’t be angry at you if your email wasn’t accusing me of not doing my job. Why must you always assume I didn’t do what I was supposed to when 90% of the time I can show you through sent emails that I did??? You would think you would start to notice a trend…
I am supposed to be working on a specific part of the collection. I am currently working on a big huge project that’s been a mess for eight years that’s going to take me months to clean up. Why then have I suddenly been declared the Copy Monkey? Isn’t that what the undergrads are for?
One: I hate, hate, hate people who lecture at me from their bumper stickers or other car window decals when they can’t even be arsed to use their goddamn turn signal.
Two: Where is my cell phone charger?! I cannot find it. Woe is me. I need my cellphone, it’s the only way I have long distance calling. I can’t believe I lost it. I am anal about putting things away since I lose everything if I don’t.
