What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 37

Sundae · 07-09-2008, 09:00 AM

Know how you feel.
I can't be with Dana today because we're too busy for me to have a day off. Or even two half days. Or one half day.

Yet the Finance Clerk was off on Monday. Which is why I spent my lunchbreak in the bank sorting out an urgent payment.
And my manager is only in two days a week (working one from home) and won't change that no matter how busy we are, because that's what her contract says. And the boss of the company rushes off every afternoon to pick up her grandson, no matter who needs to talk to her because her slacker daughter has just started a new job and "can't afford" to make proper childcare arrangements.

Don't get me wrong - the flexibility offered to other people is not a problem for me. It's just when it seems selective that it bugs me.

Exchange server is lost in the wilderness this am. I may escalate this irritation to the what's threatening your life thread later...

BigV · 07-09-2008, 09:29 AM

Back. Thank goodness.

HungLikeJesus · 07-09-2008, 09:35 AM

That was easy.

Funny, I've never had any trouble from Microsoft Exchange.

BigV · 07-09-2008, 10:07 AM

haw haw.

I've never had any funny trouble either.

SteveDallas · 07-09-2008, 10:36 AM

Of course I don't allow it on my network, but still . . .

HM has just come home from a wedding. He's drunk and has hiccups. The former I can excuse, the latter he can't help. What he can help is the fact he has his bedroom door open and is moaning and swearing after evert croaky GURK! Every six seconds. Yes I timed it, because it's so irritating I was trying to put it in perspective.

Am going to have to get up and shut MY bedroom door, which means Diz will think he's missing out on something and immediately demand to be let out.

BTW - I have my earplugs in. I put them in after he came back. He's still disturbing my thought patterns!

Griff · 07-19-2008, 07:32 PM

$5 American says he hurls.

Sundae · 07-19-2008, 07:47 PM

Yay, $5 to me!
He's flat out on his back and snoring. TV on, light on, pants on (luckily!)

The lamp is on the other side of the room, as is the TV, otherwise I'd switch them off. Honestly, I'm not that much of a witch, I was just grumpy at the noise. Have gone down and switched the lights off downstairs and closed my door.

Am pleased I judged the situation correctly in that I didn't get up to see how the wedding went. I'll ask tomorrow when he's on better form.

Nothing would make me happier than to piss in this guy's gas tank on my way out when/if he gets here.

Oh and this is nothing new, the guy can't go a week without pulling this crap. "Oh my girlfriend has to go to the doctor at 5", when he is supposed to be here at 2.

It's been a long day. I've stacked 25 tons of 40lb bags of pellets. I'm tired, my back hurts, my elbow has a repetetive motion injury it seems, and all I want is to get out of here and get my damn Wendy's vanilla bean milkshake.

ah man, that sucks! but did you get to treat yourself?

When I reported it, I was told, "Yeah, they're all out spending their money", this being the 1st of the month. Grrrrr... they could have called and canceled for the day, but noooooo--ooo--oooooooooo.

I think what you are doing is a wonderful thing. Volunteering is close to my heart. I admire people who actually got the gumption to get up and do it instead of think about it.( like me)

OH. MY. GOD.

There is a new show on Cartoon Network that, of course, the kids loved at first sight. It's called "Total Drama Island."

It is an animated, fictional, reality show. Seriously. It's Survivor, with all the sassy one-on-one interviews and alliances and voting people off the show... but it's animated.

It makes me grind my teeth just thinking about it.
