WTF Wednesday
I need this early.
WTF, why do people always try to take the front of my car off in the morning?! If you want to merge turn your signal on and wait for me to move. Don't try to wedge your car into a space where it doesn't fit. Especially if you are going to drive 5-10 MPH under the speed limit once you get there.
WTF, I hate my boss. He was the first person here this morning and he let himself in with his key, didn't bother to unlock the door for everyone behind him and didn't turn on one. single. light. And his office in the in back, so he walked right by every light switch. What a douche! Seriously? You can't turn the lights on and unlock the damn door so everyone doesn't have to fish for their keys?! I effing hate this guy. No lies. I really just want to scream right now.
Re: WTF Wednesday
htf is it that i need to have a second... third... fourth job even though I have a full time job and a masters degree? i'm so freaking tired from closing the stupid gym last night and i have a raging headache... does not fair well for my students today.
also - wtf is it that people think teachers have it so easy? easy is having a hangover and hiding in your cubical all day. easy is having more than 15 mins to eat your lunch. easy is not having to deal w/ teenage drama ALL DAY LONG and then deal with PARENT drama all NIGHT long... trust me, i'm not complaining, i like my job and there are worse out there, but it just ticks me off when people are all wooo summers off - not thinking that we work pretty much doubles all "school year" long in addition to the second and third jobs we need to be functional in society and still educate the FUTURE leaders and bosses and CEO's etc... end rant. (for a teacher i can sure spin a great run on sentence! ha!)
k off the soap box...
9 Glorious Months!
My Photography Blog!
So true - and I'm not sure about your jurisdiction, but both my sister and bff are teachers in the PA system - and they don't get paid for their summers off..so yeah - they have off, but no money - six in one hand....
and WTF is up with this CEO that my VP is traveling to Chicago to meet with tomorrow - or was supposed to...so I set this meeting 3 weeks ago, confirmed times with this dude's EA, and set and confirm all of the travel arrangements...and he emails this morning, the day before, saying that "he just noticed the Chicago meeting on his calendar, but he will be in Montreal, and can we reschedule." Really??? After I had everything set and ready to go for my Exec, now to have to cancel/change everything on one day's notice???
They need to get their freakin acts together at that company!!!
wtf is with men when they get a small cold? DH has a small cough and a stuffy nose. He is acting like it is the end of the world! He actually wanted to call in sick today...I told him if I, his pregnant wife, who happens to have an upper respiratory infection and can't take much of anything is going to work every day feeling like crap...then he can manage to go to work with a little stuffy nose. Sorry, I can't stand men when they act like big babies.
i hear ya on the underpaid/underappreciated/overeducated RANT. YTF can't a better job appear?? I know I need to send out cover letters/resume even if there is not a job posting, but I would be so. much. more. motivated. if there was actually a listing for a job I was interested in, rather than just throwing my info out at nothing.
[and now i need to go back to thankful tuesday where i remember that it is good to have a job, any job, and technically i do actually like what i'm doing.]
Hahaha you are SO right!!!! I have to say though, I admire my DH for admitting that he's a baby when he doesn't feel well. He had a groin pull last week and had to drop out of running a race this past Sunday; and he moaned and grunted all day on the couch. Eventually I had to say, "is there ANYTHING I can do for you?"
WTF I don't have a real WTF this week! I would like to add a couple hours to each day this week so I can do everything I need to and get some of my Harry Potter reading done.
I'd also like the services coordinator who got a little too friendly in front of me with the maint super (married to the manager) when the manager wasnt there, to act like normal after I mentioned the incident to my boss above the manager. (big boss talked to her about it and she seemed to understand why I was concerned and uncomfortable but she isn't acting like it)
April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
WTF....I burnt my tongue yesterday at lunch and it still hurts today. It's very frustrating.
WhyTF am I so tired??? We went to bed at a reasonable time, but I'm still tired.
Well, I thought I didn't have a good WTF for this week, until half an hour ago when I walked into our kitchen/living room area to find 1-2 inches of water all through the kitchen and entryway. DH is doing laundry and apparently something broke on our washer and flooded our apartment. I'm annoyed because a couple weeks ago I noticed a little water was coming out from under the washer and we called the super about it, and he supposedly fixed it. I tried to mop up the water with towels but I'm sure our hardwood floors are going to warp, plus we have some throw rugs that are now hanging over our balcony to dry and I don't know if we can salvage them. And some of DH's favorite clothes are now sitting in the washer in soapy water because we had to turn it off mid-cycle. The water went into the hallway and the carpets out there are wet, plus it's apparently leaked into the garage below. Good times.
I'm just glad that the way our apartment slopes (yes, it definitely slopes), the water ran into the kitchen instead of the living room. Our furniture would have been ruined!
Lori, I think you win the WTF award for today. That would p!ss me off too.
