I almost had a 50 pound bucket filled with a hazardous chemical dropped on my foot this morning because of someone else's negligence! Thankfully I am very thorough in checking out equipment before I attempt anything that could be unsafe, so I noticed the locking mechanism was not in place. But if I had trusted my coworker had completed his job I could be out with a nasty bruised or even broken foot!
When I pointed it out to him he said "oh yea I was going to make a sign that said blah blah blah about it being incomplete."
Dude if you had time to make a sign, you had time to finish the job. Of course I can't say that outloud, but I was thinking it!
It is only Monday afternoon and I am already opening the wine!

Sorry! I didn't have a near-death experience like you did, but this week has started off in a generally craptacular way for me too. I am grouchy and out of sorts with the world. Hope it gets better for both of us.

I dislike unsafe people at work, glad you noticed and protected yourself.
My vent: they were working on the HVAC system at work this weekend and something went wrong. It was 81 degrees when I got to work this morning. By 10am it was 85. They were supposed to bring in industry AC units from 2 hours away, they showed up at 2:30. I left shortly after. Tomorrow it will probably be 50 degrees in the office.

I spent an hour and a half vacuuming all the carpet on two levels in our house last Friday to clean up all the dog hair. Literally six vacuum cleaner canisters of dog hair per level of my house. We were at the cabin all weekend and have only been back home since last night. The floors look almost as bad now as they did Friday morning before I did anything.  Shedding season sucks.  |

We had a very contentious union election and my candidate won. Found out that the loser has contested the election results and there may have to be a complete redo of the election. Why can't losers be gracious instead of trying to steal the winner's joy? It's hard to lose but to claim you lost because of a possible technicality is really unfair. I just want it to be over so I know if we are in or out and get on with it one way or the other.

I can get ugly really fast when someone's screw up hurts me or nearly does. Save |

Had a crappy medical appt. for DS that is going to result in 2 weeks of anxiety waiting for test results and it all seems to be the result of the office's negligence for failing to check the results of LAST YEAR's abnormal test results which they apparently read properly for the first time today. And I'm sure it will all be fine in the end but damn, don't fuck up when it's my kid. And yes, wine.

The incident was reported to management and to HR, but I'm not exactly allowed to toss in my own criticism. |

Oh geez, I'm sorry I left a Gynecologists' office because their policy was 'if you don't hear from us it's good news.' Which was fine but then they get all angry and nasty if you call to check. Pardon me but it's MY health so if I want to check no one accidentally skipped me, or accidentally called the wrong phone number or whatever. ( which they did one year ) So I hear you about that. |
