This is the best revenge of all!
Ah. So not only don’t you care about the fact I have pets that make far less mess than the average person, you also don’t care about allergic folks other than those who are only allergic to pets? Gotcha.
They ban them because they can get away with it. Many of the motel managers I’ve spoken to would like to also be able to ban small children but of course that’s illegal. As for staying at your place, since I have no idea where you are I won’t know if I’ve been there or not. That law about animals in vehicles makes it sound like nanny state California tho..
As I’ve said, a pet ban is not an issue for me, I just don’t appreciate be expected to be happy to pay extra because my choices are different from yours. I’m quite sure if you would just think about it without bias, you would realize that you wouldn’t want to pay extra for some arbitrary reason like the management thinks your type of hair is more likely to clog the drains or whatever.
Oh, curlcoat, you’re such a beautiful and unique snowflake. Just like all those other people who insist that they’re somehow magically exempt from the rules.
As far as that goes, you tend to be the speshul snowflake here. You write like a grade schooler, you cannot seem to keep your thoughts to yourself no matter what the subject is, you cannot seem to grasp simple ideas, and you appear to purposely misinterpret what you read, such as no where did I say I am exempt from any rules. Why so many on this board like your posts, I really have no idea. Perhaps because so many like children.
However, I do not like children, including reading what they write and interacting with them. So I’ll go back to ignoring you until the time comes again that I am so bored that even reading one of your posts seems interesting.
Uh huh, *sure *you ignore me, **curly **honey. Which is why you’re constantly feeling the need to reply to me. There, there.
Work rant!
Hey, client, I appreciate that you pay us a lot of money. But when you call me to complain that you haven’t gotten a response to your questions, so that I then reach out to several people on the team that works with you to politely poke them into doing their jobs, maybe you should OPEN THE EMAILS YOU HAVE FROM PEOPLE ON THAT TEAM BEFORE YOU CALL. Because your questions were already answered THREE FUCKING HOURS AGO.
I guess that’ll teach me to assume that you’re not a fucking moron. Next time I’ll look to see if anyone else has already replied to your email.*
*I didn’t initially see it because it wasn’t in my email–it was someone I support who’s out of the office. I’d sorted by name so I was only looking for emails specifically from the client. I didn’t sort again to see what came in after, or keep it by name and look for replies from the other people who were included on the email.
Few grade-schoolers curse that much, curly.
Also, this week is NOT the time for the system to start hiccupping and burping and outright shutting down. My team is swamped as it is, ferchrissakes. How come the system never gets the gremlins when things have gotten slow?
Hahahahaha.
Customer wrote in last Tuesday asking for edits to some files. I got them done and emailed them back to him promptly. No response. A week later he sent the exact same email, asking for the exact same edits. I replied asked him if he hadn’t received my previous email. No response. The next day he called me before I could call him to ask me where the edits were. He went digging through Outlook while we were on the phone and finally found the first email I sent, but said some files were missing. Called me back a second time to tell me which files were missing (they weren’t). Just before I got ready to send out an email with the not-missing files, he called back a third time to say he finally spotted them in that original email. :smack: No, sir, you weren’t any trouble at all sir, have a great day sir.
My office is adjacent to a drawbridge. It drew up to let a boat go by and now it is stuck.
The annoying part is that there is a BELL. And it
WON’T
STOP
RINGING.
AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Wait, what?
Last weekend one of my co-workers and I were talking about hometowns and when I mentioned mine he got “China Grove” stuck in his head. I then one-upped him by reminding him of Will Smith’s “Miami.” He then spent the rest of the day singing “Welcome to Miami…Bienvenidos a Miami” at me. He won. Well played, sir.
Oh GOD DAMMIT. YOU GO TO HELL.
Seriously, accounting dipshit, you really need to figure out some kind of way to record checks you receive. :rolleyes:
GM comes to me because they haven’t received a payment from a vendor. Vendor gives us the number/amount/date of the check. So, I go tothe accounting person. (Let’s just add right here that this person is beyond unprofessional, doesn’t give a shit, will never give a shit and will lie and obfuscate without care or concern.) Do you have record of receiving this check?
Nope. We never got that check.
Riiiiiiight. How much you wanna bet when I got back to the vendor and ask if they can confirm it’s been cashed… oh, why, yes! Here’s a .pdf of the check, and look! There’s our for deposit only stamp with our name in bold!
Shocker.
3:45 p.m.: I receive an email from my coworker telling me that someone from another office will be sending me a deck in about half an hour that needs to be edited for style/brand and then produced.
4:40 p.m.: About half an hour past when I was supposed to have received the deck, I instant message the person responsible for it.
5:55 p.m.: I try two different numbers to reach the person who was supposed to send the deck; both go to voicemail.
5:00 p.m.: I send an urgent email to the person who was supposed to send the deck, letting them know that I’ll wait a little bit longer, then head out and come in early tomorrow to work on it.
5:06 p.m.: Hallelujah, as I was typing all this up, she *finally *responds to my instant message to tell me that she “had to take a call.” :rolleyes:
Sounds like my afternoon, too. :smack: Only I don’t get to come in and do it in the morning, I get to wait after hours. Damn deadlines.
This meeting happens to be at 10 a.m., so I have a little bit of flexibility.
Update!
5:06 p.m.: I ask her whether it’s worth waiting around or if I should just come in tomorrow.
5:15 p.m.: crickets crickets crickets
ETA: Whatever, I don’t even fucking care. If she wants to hand me flex time or overtime to sit here on my ass while she gets this shit done, who the hell am I to complain.
Corporal Mojo, K9 extraordinaire! Sweetest German shepherd evah!
Oh, and?
“It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears.
It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears.
There’s so much that we share that it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all.”
Sorry about that - it tends to come out like that when you have a song stuck in your head - in fact, it’s usually not a song for me - it’s a line or two from a song. Over and over and over and over and over and over…
Is that what the kids are calling it these days.
Well, five weeks into the three or four weeks of extra coverage, I finally got my computer sign-in so I can do the extra work they’d like done. If that doesn’t add up or make sense to you either, welcome to my world! 
We were informed at the safety meeting today that the level of radiation produced by a new piece of equipment in the lab is significant enough that “young women of child-bearing age” are no longer allowed in the lab when the equipment is running. I’m pretty much the only female who visits the lab on a regular basis, so this affects me…and it also pisses me off a bit.
[ol]
[li]Why is it OK for the guys to use this piece of equipment all day? To my knowledge, they don’t wear any special protective equipment other than some sort of ring related to a dosimeter.[/li][li]If the equipment is that poorly shielded, shouldn’t this piece of equipment be more isolated? This lab is adjacent to a heavily traveled walkway.[/li][li]What happens if the company decides they need another test tech, and the person who applies for the job is a woman?[/li][li]Why do other facilities and universities allow women to use similar pieces of equipment?[/li][li]The piece of equipment in question is new. Why was radiation exposure not a problem with the old equipment?[/li][li]Little signs have been placed on the lab doors notifying people of the radiation hazard “when equipment is in use”. So how are people outside the lab supposed to know when the equipment is in use without entering the lab and asking someone?[/li][/ol]
You may want to ask if they’ve run this policy by their lawyers, and also drop off a copy of Automobile Workers v. Johnson Controls with your management.
Oh! Tweens then?
I swear to God, if I hear “pick you brain” phrase again…
