you have to tailgate on the sure kill expressway or that will happen to you the whole way in. srsly.

Doctor: "Well, Mr. Helm, what's concerning me right now is this large metal wire sticking out of your cock."

:sweat:

Without that wire it can't be hung.

The return of my sense of smell. People are stinky.:eyebrow:

... improper use of reflexive pronouns.

That annoys myself too.

I was just talking to some friends about this very subject, and they agreed with myself about it.

George, Sally, and myself...we all HATE that misguided pretentiousness. Pretentiousnocity? Pretentionality?

Pretensificationality. ish. ness.

So, all it takes is a little wire, and I don't have to be like this anymore?

If you experience an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours, call your hardware store.

It looks like this guy just used rope....

Max has a summer cold and has been grumpy for two days, and now he's chucking a wobbly on the hallway floor.

It's actually verging on pissing me off to be honest. He's only doing it because he thinks it's bath time, but it's way too early yet and he'll just get filthy again before bedtime.

Umm...could you Merkinize that for me?

Throwing a tantrum. ;)

What's irritating me ? .....


The guy that went looking for space on our main development computer...

... and erased the backup of the database.


That's the biggest file, but not the oldest.




Moron.

Fucking meetings.

Do I still get the 72 virgins if I'm the only one who dies?

I read things like that and think "He got hired. Can you imagine the people who were turned down?"

The only backup copy sits right there on the same machine?

Fortunately, that is not the case. I just had to connect to my home computer and download it.

As it is a server made for our programming team... we can go and kill it it is not so important. Yet, when you need around one hour to download a file because no one else has it on its computer and re-install it, it is kind of irritating

Everyone here at work is tense and tired and grumpy. :(

they need to ponder bagels. :D

I'm not sure if I'm irritated more or amused more. It's certainly something I shake my head at.

I sent a guy here at work to Hartford along with a handful of other people to collect documents from a client's facility. It's a trip to the client, so they were all told to dress nice and be on their best behavior. It's a big client.

So I just heard that while he was in the client's offices today, he used one of their conference rooms so he could interview for a job with another company. Via teleconference.

We were paying him today while he used our client's conference room to have an interview with another company.

I have to laugh. The balls on this guy. Or lack of brains. He's like 24 years old.

What gall! Is he still working for you?

And this popped into my head:

But in Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire, honesty hardly ever happens.

Or: But in 'artford, 'ereford and 'ampshire, 'onesty 'ardly ever 'appens.

or.......beeeeeeeer /homer

the 24 yo guy just isn't old enough or experienced enough to know any better.

That's what I'M pondering now. I may have pondered bagels early in the morn, but tonight I'm pondering stopping at my soon to be extinct watering hole and imbibing a nice hot beer. Yeah, I know beer is supposed to be cold but they need to market a good tasting warm one for weather like this! :blush:

Remains to be seen. He's scheduled to come back tonight and my boss is going to talk with him about it tomorrow. I don't think she even knows yet what she's going to do. I bet he doesn't get fired for it, but it could go either way.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation! :)

@shawnee: it's 5 o'clock somewhere!! (and warm beer isn't bad if it's good enough, errrr, ya know what i mean)

glatt: why not fire him? hell he's already lookin' elsewhere....

It may happen. It's just that it's a pain in the ass to go through. Gotta involve HR and make sure all our ducks are lined up. Ideally, he got a job with that interview and will just go away on his own.

right on right on. HR does have to look out for the company, you're right there.

Don't you work in a law firm glatt? They'll probably admire his chutzpah and promote him! :lol:

:lol2:
:lol2:
:lol2:

No, no, no. You call the company he interviewed with, tell them what went down.

Then fire him.

I was envisioning something like dropping a deuce or something...:sweat:

Everyone at work has a URI and is grumpy because of it. On a brighter note we exchanged gifts for the holiday.

I first read that as "Everyone at work has a UTI..."

Yeah, what the heck is a URI?

That kind of sounds like fun.

I think it's a social disease.

you get honourary British Status! (or is the ornery..?)

like a urinalysys? ewww don't splash into my beer. or shawnee's for that matter!

Upper Respiratory Infection. AKA a "cold", what everthefuckthatmeans. :)

I know you are all on the edge of your seat in suspense about this guy. Looks like he will be fired today. Turns out this is the last straw. His usual supervisor has been having problems with him for a while. Others on his team have been going back and fixing his work regularly. I hope for his sake that the job interview went well.

can't say he didn't get what he deserved then...

Farewell, Slacker-job-doer-interview-with-another-company-while-on-assignment-for-your-current-company Guy, we hardly knew ye. :sniff:

Really silly. More disappointed than irritated.

Today in school I was given a gift from one of the teachers I work with every week. Not personally - it was given to me by another teacher, because the one I work with is off sick (see below).
I didn't open it immediately, but when I got home tonight I opened the card (thanks for your help etc) and then just couldn't help it. It was in a lovely stocking and as well as the wrapped present there was a tiny cracker, so I thought it was all gorgeous. The present was a toy penguin and a net of chocolate penguins from Thorntons (a well respected chocolatier). I was so pleased.

Until approx 20 minutes ago.
I checked my emails only to find an apology from said teacher.
She's been off all week with the horrible bug that has literally halved the school attendance this week.
She was sorry that I hadn't received my Secret Santa on time, but was sending it in today.
In fact the Secret Santa exchange along with the staff buffet was postponed until the first day of next term, as the staff have been equally stricken.
So as it turns out, what I thought was a thank you gift was in fact my Secret Santa and now I will have nothing to open when everyone else does.

I'm less bothered about me (I genuinely prefer to give rather than receive) and I'm not annoyed at the person who gave it to me (well - a little) but I'm more sorry for her. I'm going to reply and explain I've already opened it, and thank her. Any other option would involve silly lies that could get awkward. I only wish I'd checked my mails before opening it - I would def have returned it to school tomorrow otherwise.

Sigh.

You know that descending trumpet bit in cartoons when something goes wrong? "Wah-wah-waaaaaahh..."

Minifob has been saying that every five minutes all day today. When he drops a toy, when one food touches some other food on his plate, when the DVD is over... need a "stabbing myself with a fork" smiley...

Jesus Fucking Christ, I went looking for a stab-with-a-fork smilie and Google took me here.:eyebrow:

Not to mention Holy Fucking Shit.

If ever you need a little reality check...

I've put a lot of mileage on the net, and never seen that before. I was shocked, and that ain't easy.:whofart:

So why post the link
It's offensive ... you can do better

It's not like he posted it in keen links you want to share, I think he was sharing his complete JHC, WTFF? moment with us. Especially in light of his search terms.

yarly. you didn't have to click -I didn't. yet. :lol:

It's just racism beyond belief.

ok, I'm not gonna click.

I have a theory, but it irritates me.

Theory: When new people come into an organization, they compulsively set about changing something.

Question: Why do they often change the name of the group ?
Many non-profit organizations do fund-raising to survive, and name-recognition is critical.

For example, "The ARC" used to be Association for Retarded Children.
OK, kids grow up so they kept "The ARC" as Association for Retarded Citizens

So we have a local group that provides employment for adults with developmental disabilities.
After years of building name recognition via professionally produced TV/radio ads
the new Board has changed it's name and launched it's (year end) fund-raising
with NO ads and all new new stationery.
And the new name they chose is "Excel"

My first reaction: Bedamned if I'm going to donate $ to MicroSoft

They should have just followed the NAACP's lead and stick with the politically incorrect label.

I think "colored people" will come back into style, because "people of color" is so close to it and makes it non-derogatory. And this would be great for the people who just stayed put. I had a boss once who was talking about "this colored guy", and I realized he was so backward that he was actually a number of politically incorrect labels behind.

And another thing irritating me..

Lawrance O'Donnell (MSNBC) is now using his show to ask for donations
to build school desks for children in Malawi.
OK, it's a good cause.
But my irritation with his use of several minutes of"free national TV time".

Non-profit "service" organizations took a MAJOR hit after 2001,
when a large portion of the donation pool shifted over to 911 groups.
Some of the smaller "service oriented" groups did not survive, and
their clients went wanting.

Everyone has their pet projects and so it should be.
But I'm irritated because "my pet" can't even get 30 seconds of local coverage...
let several minutes of national TV replayed several times a day.

OK, so now I feel guilty about getting irritated over someone
else trying to help the less fortunate. :o
