What's your FFS moment today?
Mine: The documents are not coming from me, as has been explained 6728 times, so I can't text you when they're sent. It's your own damn fault you planned to be on a boat in the middle of bfe when you've known for 60 days that your presence was needed, that you would need at the very least internet access and a notary. Take responsibility FFS!
Next?!

Mine is that it is unreasonable to expect me to be finished with a publication yesterday when the content deadline for said publication is *today*. We still have a week to publication (email), we are fine!

My crazy co-worker threw a fit when I left two small stacks of chairs in the hallway for less than 24 hours last week, but she's left the huge choir shells in the hallway since last Thursday.

Not every text or comment requires a reply.
And I've given you a written schedule of when certain payments were due. Don't act clueless when I remind you there's another fee due in August.

Our file clerk is an idiot. Just no way around that. I was searching for some statements yesterday, and couldn't figure out why they were set up in a different file. Instead of filing them under the account number (typical procedure), she filed them under...the phone number of the financial institution. SMH!
We used to put everything that needed to be filed in a bin. We've done it that way for 20 years. That was too hard for her. Now we have 8! separate bins for each type of filing, instead of her sorting it before going to file. Effectively, we are now doing her job for her. GAH!!!!!!

If you don't tell me what you need me to get or prepare for you I can't know what you need me to get or prepare for you all I ask for is a day of notice and I can run up any report you need or get any supply you need, I'm not an independent staples store though and I can't poop binder clips out my butt for real. I'm good but I'm not a miracle worker or a magician so you need to tell me what you need.

Following on from a conversation I had with my Mother last night about not being able to afford new clothes I decided to go through her wardrobe and drawers this morning. I found a ton of stuff still in it's packaging shoved all over the place. We went through every single piece of clothing she owns and I had a big bag of stuff for the charity shop. Fast forward an hour and she decided she couldn't bear to part with any of it, so I had to empty the bag and hang it all back up. There was swearing, lots and lots of swearing!!
She can afford new clothes btw she just thinks she shouldn't spend the money.

After a day in court, I'm still amazed that someone can sit and claim that he didn't know that he had a fake passport...when this is the second time he has been caught with one.....and then tell the judges that he will get a third one. How stupid can you be?

There are 3 of us in my department who share a majority of the day-to-day work. Today I really, really need to spend the entire day focusing on a project for another department to get ahead before I leave for vacation tomorrow. But one of my coworkers has no internet at home. And since she has a dentist appointment at 10:00 it would be stupid for her to drive into the office only to turn right around and go to the dentist by her home. So she will not be in until her appointment is over. My other coworker has some sort of weird swelling on the side of her face that benedryl is not even touching so she's having to visit HER doctor first thing this morning. Her eye is almost shut, but no breathing issues or anything.
But now I'm having to do all of the day-to-day work instead of the project that I was really needing to do. This NEVER happens except when one of us REALLY has something else to do. Then it always goes to shit.
ETA: Oh, and I have time to be on 2peas because on my work laptop I'm running something that has sucked all of my resources. So I can't do anything on that machine until it's done. Piss.

She can afford new clothes btw she just thinks she shouldn't spend the money. I guess if she actually wears some of it now it might have been worthwhile? Maybe? FWIW I would have sworn too - big time!

I filled out forms on numerous companies websites to get information on the company retreats they offer. They all called me back and left numerous voicemails. I don't want to speak to anyone, I think it's pretty simple to just send me your pricing and details in an email. I feel those that are calling me are pushing a hard sale and I just really want to compare offers right now.

Mine is that the new associate director...also my direct supervisor because the company doesn't want to pay for a supervisor...wants me to deliver him data beyond what I've already delivered. Data that doesn't exist for my lab. I've told him a dozen times what he wants doesn't exist. He is a moron, so I'm almost at the point of creating data so he will STFU!

My day is getting more awesome by the minute.
FFS#2-If you want to sell your house yourself, rock on! That's awesome! However I'm not sure you'll be incredibly successful when you don't include a phone number or an email address in your listing. Did you want me to stop by in person to set up an appointment to see it? Maybe send a carrier pigeon? You take the lead here...

Last weekend I was helping out at a rummage sale. A couple years ago, I made (and paid for all the materials myself) a bunch of reusable double-sided signs on plastic gator board with vinyl lettering. The signs got put out in the usual places, only this time several of them disappeared / were stolen when someone came to mow the grass! Really? The event is held in a church, and the money raised is for a charity! Even though it's not my event, I feel obligated to cough up more money and spend more time to make new signs to replace the ones that got stolen. It would be one thing if they sat out there for weeks on end, but they get pulled immediately after the sale ends so they can be used again for the next sale and were only going to be out there for three days. Geez.

My precious white jean cropped leggings from Uniqlo, which were like the Holy Grail because I'm impossible to fit in pants, came out of the wash a lovely shade of pale blue today. I am SO frigging careful with my laundry to avoid mishaps like this, so I don't know what happened, unless there was color residue from a previous load of DS's jeans. And Uniqlo doesn't have any more.

Mine is quit flaking out on scheduled calls or rescheduling at the last minute. My time is valuable too! This drives me crazy! I work from home with no set hours, I work when there is work and stop when I am done. I am currently waiting on a couple of links that are very time sensitive to put in an email blast. Yesterday I asked for a date/window when I might expect these links so I can arrange to be online but I haven't heard a peep so now I have to shelf everything I planned to do today so that I can babysit my inbox waiting for this info. Oh well, guess my hours will be up this week.

My FFS today is watching a client continue to struggle with being caught up in a technology glitch regarding her insurance coverage. Political wrangling in our state government has caught up a real person and put her health at risk. I can't help but think that if we would do the right thing as a nation and have universal coverage, this would not be happening to her.

Mine is MNDOT. I have not one way to or from work without construction. Not one. Yesterday I tried another back road and they tore it up that very day. My commute should take 45 minutes in a normal rush hour. It's been 75 minutes for the last month.

My FFS is the street construction in front of our house. They have been rebuilding this half mile of street for 6 months! Granted they put in new water/sewer pipes etc but still! I now understand why our city streets are so full of potholes when it takes this long. And it wouldn't be a big deal except I had to park my vehicle on a side street and it is difficult for me to walk to it due to disability. I have a doctor appointment this morning so I have to go.

Mine FFS for today? This banquet is 3 weeks away. Only a handful of people have RSVPed. I get that but we NEED to at least estimate how much food we need and get a handle on the cost as well as who's making what. I get that YOU work better under pressure of time - I like to have a plan. And if I'm helping you, you'd better get some sort of plan together because I'm not waiting until the day before to buy everything AND prepare it.

Why in the world would you wire a car so that the alarm goes off when the battery is low? There are a million less embarrassing ways to tell me I need a new battery. Or just let it go dead on me, FFS. I'd much prefer to be stranded because my battery is dead than be stranded with an extremely loud alarm going off and my starter disabled. Also, if you're going to do that, make a key fob that lasts more than 10 years and a reset button that lasts more than 15. My car is effectively undrivable right now, despite the brand new fully charged battery.
And another, related FFS. If you don't want my business, tell me you don't want my business. Don't tell me you will call me about towing my car later in the afternoon if you aren't going to call. Yes, I've already called someone else to do it, but for all you know, I'm still waiting for you to call, paying exorbitant daily fees for my car that is stranded in the parking deck at the airport, with my family members on call to push my car out of the deck because your truck won't go up the ramp.

My co-worker who is also my backup just sent out an email with his vacation schedule. He scheduled his time off during the exact time that I had already scheduled off for when I'm out of the country with DS - a vacation that I already told him about 2 months ago and already paid for. Not sure this is going to play out with my boss.

I am so tired of people that don't read things they initial and sign and don't listen when you specifically explain certain terms they are agreeing to. Getting pissy when I remind you of the terms you agreed to won't help you. Talking to the owner won't help you either since he was the one who set the terms, but feel free.
Also, animals have never been allowed (except for service animals, of course), why would you think you would be the exception.
Gah, lately everyone thinks they should be the exception to some rule.
