That’s why he should be neutered on the sly; so the poor bitches can go through the motions of the breeding process without having to suffer the consequences of a screwed-up pregnancy.
Particularly the one that they’re getting just for him…

For the record, I’m all stabbity again.
Now warns people in advance about my work rant. its long and complicated and tl/dr.
As records management, we don’t own the 18,000 boxes of paper in the warehouse. We are “caretakers”. We have no way to force people to allow us to destroy the paperwork when the life span is over, I have to beg and cry and tell people that we can’t accept more boxes because the warehouse is full.
It used to be that I could show the state retention schedules to people and they would see a firm date. i.e. “keep those records for 5 years”
If the paperwork owners had a good reason to keep their stuff longer, I would ask them to write a letter explaining why their needs were different from state and federal obligations.
Sounds simple, right? Well, no it isn’t. Many of the people who stored boxes are not working there anymore. Their replacements are not working there either. Suddenly, I start sending the 4th replacement emails saying that I need authorization to kill their boxes and they don’t know what to do. They need to talk to boss/coworkers/read the stuff I sent them, and then put it aside because they aren’t the ones who have to live with the boxes.
So, now, the state is changing the retention schedules. They say things like “destroy 5 years after the administrative value is over”.
You are smart people, you can figure out what is going to happen next.
Sally will send the box to the warehouse and tell us to destroy it after 5 years. Sally will leave and Becky will take her place, but Becky will think that they sould keep the paperwork for buying a new microwave for 7 years. Becky will leave and John will get my email about destroying the box that has the paperwork for the microwave that was thrown into the trash 10 flipping years ago, but is new to his job so won’t agree to doing anything until he talks to his boss.
I’ve got boxes that passed their retention 20 flipping years ago. This offends me as records management, but is also putting the county up for major lawsuits.
Juvenile records are supposed to be destroyed after the person is 25. Does that happen here? NOOOOOO!!! The person in charge of Juv records leaves every year or less.:smack:
Falls into a fetal position.
When I was asked if I still had certain boxes of paperwork about a certain Juv, who is an adult and the boxes should have been destroyed, I had to say that yes, the paper was discoverable. Guess who might not have to deal with SG on monday?
But they already had the stud, so they would be receiving the fee from OTHER people without having to raise the pups themselves.
The wishy-washiness of that gives me a cold chill. Hey, can your company change its policies and let everyone know that you WILL destroy their records on a set schedule (give them the schedule) and they have to let YOU know if they have a good reason for not getting them destroyed? Trying to get people to allow me to destroy records that should be destroyed would drive me crazy.
You know, that’s a very good idea! Make some extra money, be the most popular girl in the office… hmmm… 
Well I guess to be perfectly honest I was kind of mean to him that day.
Also I am documenting the hell out of everything that I know he hasn’t done. Normally I’d let a lot of it slide but for the love of fucking convertibles man, you can’t have your boss call me incompetent one day (when I know she just parrots what you tell her) and expect me to act like your best friend the next day.
If only that could happen.
I was too tramatized to mention tell the rest of it. I’m a County worker. starts twitching again just thinking about the layers and layers of government rules apply.
The County lawyers are now going over the retention schedules to see how they apply. On Monday, I will get to spend 4 hours locked in a room with 9 lawyers and listen to them discuss them.
The thing is, I have NO authority, but total responsibility.
One of the things I was able to change 4 years ago was to get signatures for destruction before accepting the boxes. So going forward, I’ll just be able to pull the boxes and destroy them. For the old stuff, I have no legal authority to destroy them.
Now that I made the mistake of coming back and thinking about it, I think I’m just going to grab cats and hide under the bed for the next week or so.
It’s so nice to find out that rules that apply to you don’t apply to others. My approved vacation time this month was cancelled because of this system conversion, and we were all told that no one would be allowed to take vacation time in August. I get here today and find out that apparently that rule didn’t apply to the loan officer, because she’s gone to the lake this week. I would just reschedule my vacation, but I wanted this specific week off so that my boyfriend and I could attend an out-of-state event.
Oh and branch manager, grow a pair already. Just because you don’t like someone and think they’re an asshole doesn’t mean it’s OK to leave them on hold on the phone indefinately. The guy is an asshole, but still… leaving his call parked for who knows how long just because you’re immature isn’t gonna make him any less of an asshole.
The water’s been shut off to our office for two 1/2 hours now. I didn’t need to pee before I saw the email, but as soon as it went around … suggestibility and all that. We didn’t get any warning, so we couldn’t, ah, plan ahead, either.
crosses legs tighter
If misery loves company you’ll be happy to know that just reading your post made me have to go. And since I was in the middle of a very long conference call that just happened.
Hope you’ve had relief!
1.) These are idiots who think they can make a quick buck from selling the puppies.
2.) To collect a stud fee, they’d have to find someone even stupider than them, who wanted puppies from this presumably unremarkable dog.
Step 1: Find out who authorized the shutoff without sending a warning.
Step 2: Look up the location of that person’s office.
Step 3: Schedule that person for a bogus emergency meeting.
Step 4: Sneak into their office once they’re gone and pee in their trash can.
You’re being nice. It should read;
Step 4: Sneak into their office ince they’re gone and pee in their pen drawer
I thought seriously about hopping onto our breakroom sink and letting go (everyone else in the suite had left for lunch) but figured that’s right when someone would walk in, and finally ran out to the CVS up the street. Of course, I got back to find the email they’d sent out .07 seconds after I’d left that the water was back up.
I wish I knew who keeps taking the paper towel rolls from the breakroom. A whole new case was delivered this morning, but mysteriously, there are no rolls left now. The napkins have been disappeared, too. Are we not supposed to wash our hands? WTF? I hate these people.
Uh oh, I believe you have Shredder Guy working with you.
Uhh – what?
Why do you need water to pee?
Avoiding the easy snarky answer:
Without water to flush urine down standard toilets, the place is going to reek to high heaven. And I’m not familiar with 100% of toilet physics, but I’m betting that if you flush sitting water without water to replace it, you lose the trap in the pipe, which lets noxious sewer fumes through. Bad idea to use toilets without water running.
Not to pee, to flush.
And when you don’t know when flushing will be possible again, prudence would tent to dictate that you refrain from putting anything in the bowl that might…fester, if you will.
To add to the above two points .. the bathrooms were physically barred (by trashcans) to make the point clear.
No, this is not correct. Toilets are designed so this doesn’t happen. In fact, it’s the replacement water that causes the flush to happen. Even if the drain pipe starts leaking, the trap remains – it is entirely within the toilet. Only if the toilet cracks and lets water leak out is the trap lost.
Oh, and the flush will happen with any liquid.
So if enough people pee into the toilet, that will cause it to flush, even if the water is off.
