I think that is very nice of you…I would like to work with you 
People, you should know where things are kept. They’ve been there for at least two years. Why is it, then, that when I come back to work on Tuesday after two days off, the desk is a disaster area and I have to spend all day reorganizing it? Don’t depend on me, folks, I won’t always be there. I put things up in the same place all the time and everything is labeled. Don’t make me stress out unnecessarily every week for at least one day because I have to perform my usual work duties on top of cleaning up after all y’all. Bunch of children, all of you.
SpazCat, those are the same people who can’t make themselves a cup of coffee without destroying the entire kitchen. There seems to be some in every office, and about all you can do is put up with them, I’m afraid.
And the same people who never throw out their nasty food in the refrigerator.
Yup. They also leave their lunch dishes in the kitchen sink (or bathroom sink) for days, and don’t cover their food in the microwave.
Aaand the thread comes full circle.

I’m fully convinced that certain people in a certain department are functionally illiterate.
I know this assembly is a bit complicated; that’s why it’s broken into two parts, each of which is fully covered by its own procedures and documentation practices. So why in the hell were you using an outdated procedure to assemble the damn thing??? The fact that the procedure is so old that it’s not even on the servers anymore should have been a massive clue…or you could have just read the fucking reports that are linked to the component part numbers in the system. :mad: I’ve got too much shit going on right now to be expected to hold your hands and walk you through this every time one of these things has to be assembled! JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE REPORTS!!! Every single deity-of-your-choice-damned step you need to take to successfully complete this assembly is outlined, in order, in these reports. Why can’t you read them and follow the directions???
Listen people, using the line “I need it for the Commander” will not make it happen any sooner. The whole fucking hospital “needs the data” for the Commander’s briefing.
I’m sorry; wait no I’m not sorry. The point of the matter is I am only one person and the only one present in a five person shop. I cannot pull, manipulate, pull out your specific data, and properly format it in five seconds.
Furthermore, much of the data you’re looking for is out on our Sharepoint site and has been updated. You can go in there and pull it your damn selves. We tell all of you week, after week, after week, after week that all of your productivity data by provider, clinic, and department is out there. Use it! That’s what it’s fucking there for! We spend two days every week just putting out the weekly reports, not mention the daily reports that are put out there every single fucking day.
Quit being lazy whiners use the tools you have. I’m an analyst, not your fucking clerk or secretary.
My boss has a coffee cup that he uses every day that I have never ever known him to wash.
In the entire five+ years he’s had it.
Did we do this already? Well, it’s still annoying. 
Gross…
Yep. He swishes water around in it and turns it upside down on the counter to dry.
Honestly, I find this perfectly acceptable. It was full of liquid, so it doesn’t have anything crusted on, and coffee is fairly resistant to many kinds of potential pathogens. Letting something air dry also kills most bacteria. For a coffee cup, it’s probably as effective as washing with soap and then rinsing.
It won’t get rid of residual coffee oils, of course, but that only means his coffee will get progressively more bitter over the years.
That’s bad? Honestly, I do that. My mug gets washed once a week to clean the lid and get rid of crud on it and the rest takes a short dip in soapy water. Ok, I don’t let it go for weeks but as long as there’s not crud left in the mug..
Then tell them “no” when they ask you to do their work for them.
Anti rant. Lots of laughing while posting.
I like hard boiled eggs. I boil them on Sunday and use a sharpy to write FLATLINED on a baggy and bring 5 in on Monday and eat one a day. I’ve been noticing that “someone” has been helping themselves to them when I run out on Thursday or Friday.
On Sunday, I carefully poked holes in the shells and skins and boiled the eggs with about 2 cups of salt in the water. When I opened one, and carefully tasted it, it was so gross that I had to go brush my teeth. I almost puked from small nibble.
I guess SG was in such a hurry to snarf down his stolen food that he didn’t stop to smell or taste it. After he was done puking, he spent much of the day stinking up the toilet.
Tomorrow, I will pull one of the good eggs I boiled out from my lunch bag and eat it in front of him.
Yes, I’m evil.
Hey, if the dish is there more than a day, just throw it away. They obviously didn’t want it anymore.
I used to do that with my cups that I only used for tea (as well as reusing teabags - ahh, student life). Seems like adding boiling water to it twice a day would do a pretty good job of getting rid of any nasties. I drank tea black, too, so no leftover milk smell.
I mean, it works well enough for teapots - the only time I ever washed those was in my slovenly single days when I’d leave them for ages and they would get mouldy. Some of my more recent teapots have never seen soap in their lives.
Do you put your mouth on your tea pot?
Fair point, I guess, but bacteria leaping from my mouth to my mug back to my mouth are waaaay down the list when it comes to my hygeine regimen (such as it is :D)
