| | | i've given this a great deal of thought and to be honest, EVERYTHING pisses me off about my job. I get to work and the ragging starts... ragging about my weight, my love life, my car, my choice of lunch, my choice of breakfast, the way I am doing my job. Nonstop for 8 fucking hours it's harass harass harass... Now, you're probably think, "Well, gee, Samurai, if it sucks that bad, fucking quit. Quit yer bitchin!" well, it's not that simple. The mindset behind the fuckery is that if they didn't like you, they would ignore you. The fact that it's nonstop harassment for 8 hours is an honor. (yeah, figure it out... i've been trying for 4 years). And then there are certain people I work with and because I fucking can't stand them, they are mentioned by name. Lestingi- fat. useless. lazy. shiftless. a rubber dick has more uses than this lazy prick. He was driven out of the power house and we ended up with him. Yay. Ververka- ah, the good doctor... this guy is our new chemical engineer. He came over from paper machines and HAS NO FUCKING CLUE what is going on in my department, but he insists on changing EVERYTHING! On top of that, he has turned everyone in for swearing... i'm not kidding. I can't make shit like this up! He doesn't seem to grasp the fact that he works in a paper mill and not a kindergarten. Fuck, shit, motherfucker and cunt are words that pretty much serve as day to day language. Don't like it? Get the fuck out. Floyd- annoying, but sometimes manageable. Joe- his volume switch was broken off at birth... his voice is terminally at '11'. On top of that, I feel that he was dropped on his head seven or eight times... a day! you know, i could go on and on and on about these fuckers, but who really gives a shit? No one. So adios/

| | | I hate the solicitors that constantly contact me in hopes that we are going to all of a sudden consider switching our data services, phone provider, etc... I get multiple calls a day from all sorts of companies I've never heard of and want nothing to do with. Since I can't be straight forward, abrasive and outright fuck with them (lest I risk losing my job), usually I will forward their calls to something else: a suicide hotline, a rectal surgeon, or employment hotline (call 401-992-4052). Though lately I've been taking their time wasting calls and tactics more personal. I let them schedule an appointment to come in to my office and talk with me about their services. The day of our meeting I will go out to lunch right before the scheduled time. I inevitably get a call or email on my Blackberry from reception asking where I am, saying that my appointment is looking for me. I tell her I didnt have one, play dumb, and ask if its another fucking solicitor. Of course it is, and they are asked to leave. It would probably be better for them if they would stop trying to waste my time in the first place. That way they won't be driving from all around the state to come to a prospective client, just to be turned away at the door.

| | | The storage business is always loads of fun. I'd say 80% of the customers here are people under high amounts of stress. People losing their homes, being evicted, getting divorced, or just simply moving are the main customer base. Quite often they are also having hard times financially. Anyway... We do a special here at the storage place where, as a sign-up bonus, you get your first month free with the payment of two additional months. Pretty straightforward right? So you'd think.
Things people apparently do not understand about this deal: 1 - This is a ONE time deal. No, it can't hurt to ask me if you can get it again when your rent is up, but it's called a "sign up bonus" because we give it to you when you SIGN UP. I can sometimes swing it for you if I like you, but we would lose one third of our entire income if we gave you a freebie every 3rd month. Also, changing the name on the account to your brother's/uncle's/friend's/dog's name DOES NOT count as a new sign up. I already know who you are. 2 - You must pay the 2 additional months up front. We do not give the free month on a promise that you'll pay for the required two months afterward. 3 - TWO MONTHS REQUIRED. TWO. You can't pay me one month now, another next month, and then get the 3rd one free. It is two at once. Otherwise you're just paying monthly. 4 - You do not get a refund if you move out after your free month. This is clearly stated when you sign up, as well as highlighted and underlined in bright red on a sign in the office. We do not just give out free months without payment. If this was true we'd be booked solid with non-paying customers. If you only needed a single month in the first place, you could've just paid for one. Now you've paid two, expecting to get a full refund because you only used the "free month". Guess what? You're not getting a dime back. Thanks for paying twice what you would have and using less then half of it. I didn't trick you into it. You tried to trick me. You're an idiot. 1-4 are pretty repetitive, I know. But I can't drill it into people enough, and it's so fucking frustrating.
People have actually physically attacked me because I wouldn't let them into their storage units due to non-payment. I don't make these rules. I just have to enforce them. It's my job. And while I'm not supposed to make exceptions, sometimes, if you act like a human and explain your situation, I'll work with you. Junior's birthday present is in there and the party is today? Fine, just don't let me catch you loading everything in your truck in an attempt to make a getaway. I'm being a nice guy, don't fuck me over. And don't even get me started on people who decide to show up after we've sold/trashed their stuff. You had 60 days after the due date, I've called you and your two emergency contacts since you were 10 days past, sent a certified letter, and tried to take payment from your credit card on file to prevent this. The main part of my job is getting you to pay up. I didn't buy your stuff myself, so I can't give it back to you. It's gone AND whatever we didn't recoup from the sale of it has been passed to collections. Once again let me remind you that I didn't make these rules. My front counter is high for a reason.
