THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! FED UP WITH CRAZY BOSSES AND THE HOLIDAYS?! LET US KNOW!
OH MY GOD SHE'S SO CRAZY ABSOLUTELY BONKERS AND SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY PLEASE PLEASE DEAR GOD JUST HELP ME GET THROUGH THE NEXT THREE AND HALF DAYS WITHOUT KILLING HER PLEASE I JUST WANT TO GO HOME AND GAZE AT MY CHRSTIMAS TREE PLEASE!!!
I AM IN FLORIDA AND IT IS VERY LOVELY! I'M WORKING FROM HERE TODAY AND TOMORROW AND THEN OFF FOR THE HOLIDAYS! I'M HIRING A VERY WELL RECOMMENDED ASSISTANT TODAY! THE DOGS AND THE CAT ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME CAUSING A RUCKUS CHASING EACH OTHER AND BARKING THEIR HEADS OFF!
I HATE TAKE HOME FINALS. SO SO SO SO SO MUCH. WHY THE HELL IS SCHOOL GOING THIS LATE. I WANT TO BE HOME WHERE THERE ARE NORMAL PEOPLE WHO BATHE REGULARLY.
GODFUCKINGDAMNIT. I MISSED AN IMPORTANT PHONE CALL YESTERDAY AND CALLED BACK AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I WOULD'VE THOUGHT THEY WOULD CALL BACK TODAY BUT THEY HAVEN'T YET. AND I DON'T WANT TO SEEM ALL STALKERISH SO I'LL HAVE TO DO THE LAME ASS THING AND SEND THEM ANOTHER EMAIL BECAUSE GODDAMNIT I NEED THIS FUCKING JOB.
OMG WHY DO PEOPLE GET ALL STUPID IN MALL PARKING LOTS THIS TIME OF THE YEAR? DON'T YELL AT ME WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE BEING AN IDIOT! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME YOUR FINGER ASSWIPE! DAMN GYM IN THE BASEMENT OF THE MALL I HATE YOU FOR MAKING ME GO TO THE MALL THIS CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS.
dersins, unfortunately our little specklet is a contract employee - the shittiest situation possible. Contract = no tax withholding, no paid time off, no benefits. In other words, epic fail!
WHY DO PEOPLE GO INTO FREAKOUT MODE EVERY TIME THE GUY ON THE NEWS SAYS WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE THAN HALF A FOOT OF SNOW? THIS IS BUFFALO, PEOPLE! DEAL WITH THE SNOW OR MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOME GODDAMN CHRISTMAS COOKIES, NOT TAKE A TRIP INTO THE GROCERY STORE AT THE NINTH LEVEL OF STORM PANIC HELL.
WHAT'S THE BIG FREAKIN' DEAL WITH PEOPLE NOT TAKING 50 DOLLAR BILLS? IS IT LIKE "OH, IF I BREAK IT I WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TWENTIES"? WHO THE HELL NEEDS TWENTIES ANYWAY? YOU'RE GOING TO GET 3 MORE TWENTIES IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES ANYWAY! OR IS IT LIKE "OH, THAT MIGHT BE COUNTERFEIT"? GUESS WHAT - IT'S NOT! SO DO YOUR MAGIC MARKER THING AND LET'S GO.
OH AND GUESS WHAT - 50 DOLLAR BILL IS MONEY! IT'S MONEY - 50 DOLLARS WORTH!! SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU DON'T TAKE THE MONEY, IS THAT IT?! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT NOT TAKING THE MONEY THING! PERHAPS WE SHOULD BARTER? MY IPOD HEADPHONES FOR THESE SOCKS? MAYBE I'LL JUST CALL THE MINT AND TELL THEM YOU'RE A TERRORIST, NOT TAKING AMERICAN MONEY. SORRY I DON'T HAVE THE TERRORIST MONEY.
ALSO, THE LITTLE PLASTIC TAB WON'T TAKE ON THE COFFEE LID. THIS COULD BE THE STRAW...BREATH HELLBIENT, BREATH...
THE GENIUS GROUP OF NO LESS THAN FIVE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS IN MY BUILDING (WE HAVE FIVE SEMI-SMALL SCHOOLS IN ONE HUGE BUILDING) DECIDED UNILATERALLY, WITHOUT SPEAKING WITH TEACHERS, TO DO AWAY WITH BELLS. STUDENTS ARE NOW LATER THAN EVER TO CLASS, ARRIVE EARLY FROM A CLASS DISMISSED TOO SOON AND BANG ON THE DOOR, AND CONGREGATE IN MOBS AT THE ENDS OF HALLWAYS UNTIL WHISTLE-BLOWING SECURITY ARRIVES TO MOVE THEM ALONG. YEAH. THANKS. NO BELLS. THAT'S MUCH BETTER. (IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR A TWO WEEK TRIAL PERIOD, SO I'M HOPING THE BELLS RETURN AFTER BREAK. SIGH.)
I ACCIDENTALLY STEPPED ON SOOPAH BETTREECE'S OUCHY FOOT TODAY AND IT'S BLEEDING LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. I DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME IN THE CLOSET AND I FEEL TERRIBLE! ALSO, I LOVE THE SIMPSONS AND THIS THREAD IS HELPING ME NOT THINK ABOUT FINANCIAL NERVE WRACKAGE WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE THE SPIDER DREAM AGAIN LAST NIGHT ONLY THIS TIME IT WAS WITH OLIVIAS (GARDEN SPIDERS) AND NOT THE USUAL ORB WEAVERS. DO NOT WANT.
I NAPPED, TOO. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HELPED. I DID PUT PESTO ON SOME PIZZA I MADE AND FROZE A LONG TIME GO. PRETTY GOOD.
SOMEONE MAKE ME CALIBRATE MY BATTERY. WHY CAN'T I EVER BOTHER TO FULLY DUMP THE BATTERY? GODDAMN BATTERY LIFE IS SHOT TO HELL, I KNOW IT.
I HAVE A HEADACHE I PROBABLY DESERVE FROM DRUNKEN DECORATING YESTERDAY.
BTW, I HAPPEN TO SMELL AMAZING RIGHT NOW, KIND OF LIKE CHURCH AND DEATH, YOU KNOW, SEXY FUNERAL.
I HAD A BOUT OF HYSTERICS (CRYING AND LAUGHING) EARLIER TODAY AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. I THINK I'M STARTING TO HAVE PANIC ATTACKS SINCE I FEEL ALL FUNNY IN MY CHEST AREA AS WELL. FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUCK!!
OTHERWISE: WHY DO THE HOLIDAYS BRING OUT THE WORST IN PEOPLE? PEOPLE AGONIZE MORE OVER WHAT ENTREES TO SERVE AT HOLIDAY DINNER THAN WHAT NURSERY SCHOOL TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT ROAST WOULD FEED, SIR, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU HAVE COMING TO DINNER. A FOOTBALL TEAM? OR CHURCH LADIES? YOU INVITED THEM, SO HOW SHOULD I KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE?
I WANT THE FUCKING HASSLES WITH MY PLACE TO STOP!!! IT'S BEEN NEARLY FIVE YEARS!!! I HAVEN'T FOUND A VENTLESS DRYER COMPARABLE TO THE ONE I WANT WHICH MEANS I'LL HAVE TO REMODEL THE OFFICE BATHROOM ALONG WITH THE OTHER TWO. THE FAMILY ISSUES AREN'T RESOLVED; I TOLD MY AUNT THAT I WAS UPSET THAT SHE DID NOT CONSULT ME DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH MY FATHER...NO RESPONSE YET. I REFUSE TO PRETEND NOTHING'S THE MATTER!!! THERE ARE THINGS I CAN'T POST ABOUT HERE!!!!
I AM STILL FUMING ABOUT THE BITCH THAT WAS IN THE JOB WHERE I AM FILLING IN WHO LEFT ME WITH SHITLOADS OF WORK TO FINISH BEFORE MONDAY AND THEN WALKED INTO A COMPLETELY UP-TO-DATE JOB THAT I LEFT HER. I HAVEN'T SEEN MY KIDS FOR THREE FUCKING DAYS BECAUSE I LEAVE FOR WORK BEFORE THEY GET UP AND COME HOME AFTER THEY ARE IN BED. I HAVE THIS FUCKING MASSIVE REPORT TO DO AND TIME IS TICKING AWAY OH SO FAST.
IT'S STILL THE BEST PLACE I'VE EVER WORKED, JUST NOT THIS WEEK
