FF
Anyone need it?
Re: FF
Self: Get motivated!!!! I know you have been crazy busy all week and have had little to no down time including when you're home with DH. BUT, you have a ton to do and are going to be on vacation 3 days next week. When you get back, you are in meeting every day but one and have over 3 days worth of work to compelte by that Friday. Doesn't quite seem possible unless you do some of it now. I know it's Friday, you're tired, and flat our exhausted from the week, but you will definitely be rewarded from working now and not putting it off like an idiot.
Mr. Arogant Salesman who works for us - PLEASE for the love of God why can't you understand that shiit rolls down hill? Why don't you see that when you call, talking all stupid to the owner, getting him all pissed off that his attitude rolls off down to us the remainder of the day? KNOCK IT OFF!
You are stupid and while I realize you have the potential of bringing in millions of dollars to this company, no one here likes you and everyone thinks you're an assh0le so you need to get over yourself quickly. It's not too smart to try and over-talk and tell the owner of the company you work for what to do, way to go genius.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I am FUMING at the ears right now.
Dear accountant/controller: When I asked for all sales staff, the owner, myself and you to a meeting on the last day of the year so we could get the new year started off right and you said you didnt need to be in it...that pissed me off, but whatev...BUT NOW $hit is happening and you are letting it slide because you didnt coem to the meeting so you dont know what was discussed. And why the owner didnt make you is beyond me, because you are letting the salemen do what the meeting told them NOT to do. So now it make me look like the *** (Again) because even though YOU signed their orders, I have to tell them the order cant go through because its not filled out correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
THEN you start saying that I am upsetting you and you dont want to hear it. THEN QUIT! You are 73 and you clearly dont care and are "checked out". You alredy said you come in because you would be bored sitting at home. Mean while you are making my work life HELL!
Dear Saleman: get your head out of your ass. How can you even quote a job if you dont know how many colors there are!?!?! Thats like the MAIN information we need to know!
Dear AF...FINALLY! You arrived. What the heck took so long!
Dear Coworker/Boss...You promised us that even though you moved 1.5 hours away from work that you would still be able to pull your weight around here without an issue. And just like we expected you aren't! No longer are you ever here early enough to help me clean the offices. No longer are you ever here a full work day. No longer are you able to take the security pager with you. No longer are you dependable! And you have the balls to ask me why I haven't done something yet? Do it yourself arsehole! And no I don't have plans this weekend but do you honestly think I'm going to tell you that so that you can make me come down to work and check to make sure everything is okay? F off!
Dear DH...First you want me to get off the pill so I did. Then you get all upset that we don't have money (thanks to YOUR job) so then you rethink the whole having a baby idea. And now that I finally get my period two months later you don't trust me. Do you honestly think I would lie to you about whether or not I had my frickin period? Would you like to pull my tampon on out check? So what is it, do you want a kid or not? Just tell me straight up when I ask you, otherwise come Monday I'm going back on the pill. I can't handle it right now.
Also, if you honestly think I'm going to go outside and help you chip away at the ice in our driveway (which isn't harming anything) you're dreaming. All I do at work is deal with the stupid snow and the stupid ice so the last thing I want to do is do it all over again at home. You're the one who is home by 2pm every day. How about instead of playing xbox you try to help at home? I'm about to go bonkers because of you.
Oh and when you are playing xbox please don't ever tell me to get off the internet because it's slowing down your 'live' playing against some other tool. If I get told (not asked) this one more time the xbox is going to be buried in the snow.
(Wow, I needed this today!)
Work- this is the biggest clusterfck of a layoff I've ever seen. First of all, you send us all an e-mail five minutes before you announce to the entire world (newspapers and investors and analysts) that we're axing 5% of our workforce. Thanks for the advanced heads up! Then you don't have any actual plans on how to execute it other than "gathering info from the team" about which areas of the company can be streamlined. Um, talk about a witch hunt! So everyone is just on edge and in limbo waiting for the ax to drop. Sooo stupid. You should have been more prepared before announcing something like that.
Self: Get skinnier and get a haircut. That's all.
M said this to me ONCE....'nough said.
Ditto
Self- this weight's gotta go...NOW! I'm so ridiculously serious about that. I have an actual deadline now and need it off my body. I'd be happy with 20 pounds, thrilled with 30, but whatever it ends up being, that number on the scale has to drop ASAP. You made progress this week, keep it up.
I swear, I feel like I keep copying Veruca's stuff!... curious about your deadline, though... mine is a cruise near my bday (can't talk about it on FB, though... some aren't invited that would be quite peeved...)
So, BODY: get in gear! This week is a good start! Stop it w the candy, will ya? No more chocolate-well, not as much, anyway! Good going w other stuff...
SELF: get a life-start doing clubs or something vs. bitching internally that you call your friends and feel they never call YOU! Well, that's gonna stop. Just don't call them. YOU know they know where you are and when they realize they haven't heard from you, well, ... they'll call. If not, they're on the 'toxic' friends list and that's their problem. (Join that hoop club, darnit, you signed up for the classes...)
VS: Why why why is it that EVERY year I desire those pink and black checked pj's and EVERY year, I get screwed when the wrong size is ordered and have to return them and then... THEN... the size I am is no longer available?! Are you kidding me?! (Christmas gift...)
BLACK BOOT SELLERS: Are you also kidding me?!? It's only January and you are selling them clearanced WAYYY too early, so my big foot size 10 has no availability except for either the $$$$ ones or the fugly ones. Um. nice. (And Macy's, you were close-thank you for your participation in my non-boot buying experience today.)
Self. Potato chips are not fat blasters.
Docs: get it together and figure out WTF is going on already!
Grandma's docs: WTF? Do you not understand what DNR stands for?? (they resucitated her twice today AND put a temp pacemaker in - with an active DNR on file!)
Mother: Grandma is not dead yet, so stop planning this family roadtrip to go to the funeral. She doesn't want a funeral, remember?
Ex-coworker: Extending someone an offer to co-host a shower and then deciding on the theme, food, and games yourself does not make said co-host happy. If it were not for my BFF, I would have told you to go eff yourself.
Wendi - check this out - your post totally reminded me of this doctor talking about end of life care... take a listen
