Posted by MutantMandias You do realize that New Years Eve and New Years Day have nothing to do with religion, right?

No no...wrong. New Years Eve was when the baby New year gets borned into the arms of the dying old year, and they celebrate the occasion in heaven.

Just had a customer call the store and waste 10 minutes (yes that long) of my life explaining how she couldn't understand how to use a case for her ipod nano.

*facedesk*

Posted by MutantMandias You do realize that New Years Eve and New Years Day have nothing to do with religion, right?

Yes I do. However, I am just pissed that while I would like to be able to celebrate with friends, I have had to work these holidays over the last 4 years in a row along with Christmas Day. And the main insult was that these guys were able to get their own holidays (Ramadan and Eid) off, I and a lot of other Christians were not able to get Christmas off.

Normally I just go to work and do my job but lately, my daily intake of vitamin BS has exceeded the safe recommended dosage and I'm about ready to freak!!!

OH JESUS CHRIST ON A BIKE. I fucking hated holidays in retail.

Oh, and fuck hospitality.I'm the overnight front desk clerk at an overpriced high rise condo building for rich douche bags (not rich people - DOUCHE BAGS). Like, the cheapest rent is more than my monthly + OT earnings. Oil tycoons, lawyers, trust fund brats and local sports stars live there. I fucking hate almost all of them.

I had one totally trashed bitch who was drunk out of her mind, and yelling at me to call my manager (while I'm calling my manager) as I was trying to tell her our key bank was having an error and it would take me a few minutes to get the key to the unit. The whole time, she was acting like I was personally inconveniencing her because she's so important (she doesn't even LIVE there) and I'm teh jealous. "I relllish thz shit. I really do" and "You're in-incompent-tence. I know your job is so hard, like, the whole 10 hours a week you're here..."

The police almost dragged her skanky ass off to detox. I got her in the unit eventually, but I almost strangled her after that comment. I work TEN HOURS A NIGHT, four nights a week. 11pm-9am.

Oh, and to top it off, while I was scrambling trying to get keys, she was sitting on my desk in her short skirt. It wasn't until two hours later when I leaned back in my chair and looked at where she was sitting that I saw she left copious amounts of vaginal (and probably seminal) fluid on the counter. I died a little that night.

^^ That last paragraph wins!


I'm pissed that I forgot my flashdrive at home, so I can't work on my book at work today. Not read one, write one. I might have to spend more time on UER than normal, and *gasp* actually do the work I get paid to do.

At one of my three jobs,there is an assortment of people who've worked there for eons. They are known as martyrs who tirelessly attend every single volunteer event,baked goods in hand. 99% of the time,this 'volunteering' takes place during their work shift.

The problem with this is that every time they do so,the work they're supposed to be doing that day is thrown on the lower rungs of employees,say people who've only been there five years or so.

The martyrs will grab a chair,sit on their asses for hours at a time for so and so event,then even get their names in the paper for such heroics. All while the rest of us run our asses off that day,unable to 'volunteer' because someone has to do the work at hand. These heroes also conveniently scatter like roaches when clean up time come around.

Interestingly enough,these martyrs also each come with a permanent ailment of sorts (whether personal or physical),that gives them an excuse to piss away most of their job on a regular basis. Again leaving things to us that don't suffer from 'fibromyalgia' or whatever issue will net them some sympathy. Their sick days are dutifully taken each month and they are regular pros at shirking the job they're paid twice as much for.

Meanwhile,my boss nags at me for not volunteering my time when there are events that take place while I'm not working. Bleh.

Heh, at my old evil corporate job they forced me to participate in some type of company run organization. I said no, I didn't want to, and just wanted to excel at the job I was paid to do. They for some reason didn't take no for an answer. So I signed up for [some stupid club I don't remember] copied in my boss in the email I signed up on, and then just never went to the meetings. Stupid fucks.

I feel your pain. I work in a town full of these useless fucks. A lot of them are older too, so they automatically look at me and say, "Oh you're female? You can't help me."

I get that shit daily. It's getting harder and harder to not come to work with a shotgun.

Whatever. Girls don't know how to use guns.

You obviously didn't see me at Chest Fest

Being forced to listen to xmas music even before Thanksgiving. Especially when it's a song from the chipmunks.





Shoot me please.

<shuddering at remembered horror> I hear you on that one.

And yeah, after working three condos now, I've seen plenty of douche bags with lotsa money and no brains or courtesy. One little ass wipe thinks he's so special living in the condo yet it's Daddy's condo. Glad to hear that Daddy tore him a new ass though! He started causing shit with the other residents (a couple of ones who surprisingly are not douche bags) and Daddy was told.

Just love it when residents are complaining, one where I work has taken it upon himself to report every timethe guards leave the desk. He apparently has a major problem when the guard is away even to use the washroom! Oh, and the liars are just wonderful as well. Same asshole as mentioned before is still at it. At least the Property Manager knows about him.

Also, had one of the workers telling me and the property manager how to do our jobs. He was going on how the building is being poorly run and that we are useless. It was all I could do to keep from telling him to 'f**k off and let us do our jobs.' He was having a temper tantrum because I was enforcing rules (he wanted to haul material through the lobby and I stopped him.)

No f***ing wonder I'm not allowed to have a gun.

Ew ew ew ew eeewwww...

So I'm at work. There's one customer in the store along with my manager. I step out to go get something to eat. The customer goes up to my manager and says, "So you banging that?" My manager was like "uh.. no".

Eeeewww I hate these people. Eeewww.

I hate the dumb bitch cunt in Administration. Before becoming queen psycho-bitch she managed a bowling alley. She stepped from that to managing the finances of a major county department. (HR FAIL)

Today I received this gem of an email:

Hi - I am following up on a meeting notice from Verneice regarding the projects surrounding the H drive clean-up and migration from novell to windows network. One of the meetings took place yesterday, but I understand that you were not there. Can you send me an update? I see the meeting notice sent back on November 10th (see below). Let me know why you were unable to attend the meeting? I am sure there is a very good reason. Trying to be sure all are on the same page. This is a very important project across the County and our department. Verneice will update you on next steps. Thank you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jo Anne XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX County Department of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX Business Operations Coordinator XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXXX, NY 14XXX (XXX) XXX-XXXX, fax: (XXX) XXX-XXXX [email protected] T*E*A*M Together Each Accomplishes More

The best part is, I was at that meeting and was one of the ones participating the most.

Note that T*E*A*M garbage in her signature. She's gone out of her way to stress teamwork at the stupidest times but remains herself to be a dumb unapproachable cunt that no one wants to even get near.

Last month she accidentally copied me in on a bitchy email from her to my manager freaking out why I got a whopping total of 4 overtime hours, my first OT after being here for 9 months. My manager manages about 50 people and she attacked him like he was some low level push over. She apologized to both of us on that one.

Fucking bitch.

After replying to her saying I was there and what we covered (with my boss CC'd on, I received this heartfelt response back from her:

Thank you Mike. Great job. Verneice just stopped by my office to say that you were in attendance and seemed well prepared.

I'm still pissed though...

that was a condescending reply right there... you know who this chick reminds me of? Did you ever see "Wanted", that forgettable movie with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman? Do you remember Janice? The flaming bitch from the office job? I just get that vibe off the couple of emails you posted here.

For some reason I think she's had it out for me since day 1 here. Even before any contact with her at all she's been a total bitch to me. The only reason I can think of is age discrimination. I'm 29 and everyone else here is like 50+ at least. She keeps expecting me to slip up and I pwn her every time she comes in contact with me..

Oh yah, this reminds me of them time when I was a nice guy and my main project went through some changes, so since I'm a nice guy I emailed her a detailed status update. Three days later after not reading my email I got a bitchy one from her demanding a status update. I politely replied back with a condensed update while still referring back to my other email. PWNED!

So far every time she emails me, she's all bitchy and gets owned. I should stop being pissed and just stat enjoying the fact that I can do my job better than she can do hers.

Go back to the bowling alley bitch!

This same women again...fck!

We both have a conference room booked for meetings this morning. I get the key to make sure the computer and display is set up, working properly, etc for my presentation later this morning.

She comes running down to the room because she's more important and SHE needs to prepare for HER meeting. Whatever. I tell her I turned every thing on, the only thing I had left to do was re-connect the wireless keyboard as it wasn't responding.

She tells me, NO, that I have to turn on the computer first. I tell her the computer IS on, that I just turned on it and we only need to reconnect the keyboard. "No, you have to turn on the computer first" she says. I'm standing right in front of the 48" flat screen TV with the computer's logon prompt flashing. I point to it and say, "Yes, but the computer is on, see". She replies "No, that's just the TV, you have to turn the computer on first". "Yes, the TV is on, but see how it's displaying the computer screen, the computer is on too".

She still doesn't believe me or the Windows XP logon prompt on the screen. She has to actually get down, open the cabinet, and check the computer to see that the green light is on. You suck woman. You just got pwned by trent again.

She is then visibly angry at me for the keyboard not working. I explain that it wasn't working when I first got here. I had only been trying to get it going for like 15 seconds before she burst into the room. She grabs it from me and obviously has no clue what she's doing with it. I keep telling her we just need to hit the red button on the bottom side while she's blaming me for it not working.

She then tells me what I should have read have read the instructions she posted. I did read them. They were horrible and assume that everything magically connects. One of the steps was to pick up the keyboard and now go sit down at the table.

Effing bitch.

I hate that its the coldest day of the fucking year today and "the man" won't let us turn the heat up. We are all sitting here in our coats. And its not like I work in a warehouse where it tends to get cold on days like these; I work at a damn lawfirm.

Bastard is so cheap he even has a lock box on our thermostat so we can't turn the heat up. Jackass.

And people think I'm nuts for working where I do. Sure, it's hot and shitty in the summer, but it's the nicest place in the room during the winter and I never worry about freezing.

Two 300 degree heat plates tend to keep you nice and warm all winter.
