Forfuckssake!!!!

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.

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!!!!!!

I love these threads.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Perhaps a new superpower no one has thought of?  

Best line of the day!!
