Re: Vent! Seriously. Vent.

[Sir LJ]

Let me explain.

1) You can mess with me all you want.
2) You don't mess with my friends.
3) You don't mess with my family.

In that exact order.

So you, the idiot(s), breaking into the store. You broke #2 and #1! Stinks to be you!
There have been others in the past, present and I am sure the future who will do the same. May they hear these words.

The same rules have always applied in my life 24 hours - 7 days a week!

I understand voting for Obama because he's not John McCain. I understand voting for Obama because he's not a republican, everyone hates the republicans this year. Heck, even the republicans hate the republicans this year. But if you drank the Obama kool aid and seriously bought into that "HOPE, CHANGE, FUTURE" crap, then you're a moron! I thought you were smarter than that.

[Escarlata]

Yes, I know that I volunteered to do it when you asked. And I know that I did a good job in a short period of time. And yes, you did acknowledge that you had received it and that it would work. Sometimes, though, I wish that when it goes public there was a little bit of acknowledgment. Those are my words, words are how I make my living. Without tooting my own horn, I can't even claim them.

I know a lot of Republicans, most of whom I love dearly. I might disagree with them in many ways, but hate them? hardly. Do they hate themselves? That is silly. As for Obama- is that all you got? Three words? Kool Aid? That's it? And I am the "moron"??

I thought there was a new rule about posting political concerns... apparently not...

[Capt. Bacardi]

No you are correct Demetrius.

Guilty? Honestly what do I have to be guilty of? the langauge sounds awefully familiar to other people telling me that I must have felt guilty about something I said. I'm tired of people assuming things. I'm tired of people turning my freinds into my enemies.  I have never had anyone ever say anything like this about me, this is such hs bull.  Its ok to make me look like I'm the one, I'm the one whos the trouble maker, and when I defend myself or vent about, I get the "guilty" bs. I must feel guilty. those people who have known me longer than any of you, know the kindof person I am, and the kindof person I can be, they know I am a freind, it's really sad you don't.

You Sir, and I use the term extremely loosely, are an IDIOT!!!

We don't have the data, we don't keep it, so if we want to use it to compare later, We WILL Need to capture it, which means adding more elements to that table, which increases the complexity of the design.  AGAIN!!!!  Then you claim that "we probably Do have it, the documentation system just doesn't reflect it".  NO A_HOLE!!!  There are gaps in the documentation for Some Systems, however this isn't one of them. 

How in the world did you get this position?!?!  Oh, I'm So Glad to hear that you won't be asked to convert to an employee!!!  My manager doesn't have time to spend straightening you out, explaining things to you that you should already know or be able to figure out for yourself.  You Don't Listen!!!

Count your days, and polish your resume, because I doubt Anyone here will give you a positive referral.  The only reasons you're still here are 1) you're better than nothing, but not much and 2) people like me get the job done In Spite of you.

At the end of your life when all this stuff gets added up and summarized....do you really want to waste any more of your precious life griping?

[jinx]

Alright, co-workers!  Sit down and shut the heck up!

I'm SO sick of hearing you complain at this point.  I honestly almost smacked you this morning.  I'm sure it contributed to my leaving early.  Perhaps it even contributed to the hives that actually did cause me to leave early.

No, it is not fair that we probably won't be getting a bonus this quarter, since the largest cause of our loss was an act of Mother Nature.  Yes, it is a little exasperating that we may have to shell out our hard-earned dollars for a new dress code.  BUT WHO REALLY CARES?! 

I know, I know.  We work for a multi-billion dollar corporation.  However, the economy's in a rough spot right now, and they DO have to think about their business.  With the areas largest employer slowly going out, we are projected to lose at LEAST 20% of our sales in the coming months.  In addition, yes.  The wind storm screwed us.  No, the insurance will -not- pay for "nearly all" of the almost $200k in product we lost, nor will it pay for all of the sales we lost when we were closed for well over 12 hours.  It will pay $75k.  That's it.  Sorry.  Live with the facts. 

Though "the company" wouldn't like to, or want to, they could, if needed, close our doors at any time.  Now, personally, I'd rather have a steady job than a $200 "bonus" that comes on our regular paycheck so that it gets taxed to hell and probably puts you in the next tax bracket so -everything- gets taxed even more for that check.  Even the largest bonus we got, at nearly $300 only took my check up by about $175, maybe $200.

Oh, and the dress code?  Black (possibly khaki) pants and cranberry/red shirts.  We're already in khaki, so you're set there.  If you don't already own some black pants, I'd be kinda surprised, since it's a basic wardrobe staple.  As for the shirts, they don't have to be fancy.  There are t-shirts in both men's and women's that cost all of $5.

If you hate working here so desperately that you're miserable enough to do all you can to make everyone else miserable...EFFIN' QUIT!  I'm sure your bright and shiny optimism will get you a new job faster than you can say "supercallifragilisticexpiallidocious." ((/sarcasm))

Yes, A$$hat, I'm aware that my dept. is responsible for handling all the UPS that comes in to and goes out of the resort.  Here's the thing, YOU need to get the name, billing info, address, etc before you bring it down to me and BEFORE THE GUEST LEAVES!!!!  I think that bears repeating: GET THE INFO BEFORE YOU BRING IT TO ME AND BEFORE THE GUEST LEAVES!!! Do you think I have a magical UPS eight ball down here that divulges all the aforementioned info??  I realize that it can be hard to stop shilling for a tip once in awhile and think, but since you didn't, I now have 20 or so packages and NO ONE knows who they go to.  And guess who gets to field all THOSE calls??
Thanks, thanks a lot.

It would be lovely ms. Dr's office receptionist, if you would be so kind as to let me finish a complete sentance before interrupting me to transfer me to a desk where no one is there! Where no one EVER is, isn't answering the phone your job anyways? there's like 8 people in the drs office that aren't at the nurses desk that must have 5 seconds to go check my vaccination record since i need it for school! and since the fax machine is in your office anyways, you're probably going to end up doing it anyways!

Just one more reason that i shoulda switched to my mom's office a looong time ago, my entire family used to go to your office, now just me and my dad, I can't imagine why the rest left after your sucky service!

[RumbaRue]

I'd like to shove the stereo right up your south of the border butts! I'm sick and tired of hearing your music in my apartment!
How many times has the manager told you to knock it off?
I've been here 13 plus years, I guarantee you, you'll be evicted before Thanksgiving! I'll see to it!
How do you expect people to respect and like you if all you are going to do is be a weed puller to everyone else around you?

[PurpleDragon]

Hey IKE, Kiss THIS!   (Yes, I really want to say more here about this, but I don't want to risk getting myself booted or banned for excessive use of profanity).

Ugh, even our own STUDENT WORKERS complain about orientation! Yes, it's on Halloween. We don't love it either. But it can't be avoided. A) We have to do several orientations, which have to fall between application deadline and finals, and they HAVE to be on Fridays because there aren't enough classrooms open on other days. One of those Fridays is the day after Thanksgiving, which is a U holiday, one of those Fridays is the last day of Friday classes, people are going to be out of town, etc. B) It only goes until 6, so you still have time to go out and get drunk on Halloween. And C) We don't care if you show up in costume.

[Aiacha]

Gees, don't be such a thick-headed moron!  The curfew is not something we need to worry about!  Be more concerned if the venues will actually have power than when people have to be off the street.
