Chime in...what/who is driving YOU crazy this week?
Stupid people who do NOT see the big picture. Everything is NOT about you. I am trying to do a project here, and I have a deadline. I realize that because I am a volunteer and do not get PAID, that you think what I need is at the bottom of your list. But, guess what, if you do not cooperate, then I get to make decisions and recommendations that will impact your job. I am trying to HELP you here...but I am running out of patience. It would be OH SO EASY to just trash your whole group to the folks in charge. Be VERY afraid...you SO don't want me to go there.
Rant over........
My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
Re: Chime in...what/who is driving YOU crazy this week?
Sorry to hear that! I was thisclose to getting a dog from someone and the day before we were going to meet the dog, she backed out. After we told her we had bought some things (like a crate) for the dog. Seriously...
Right now, people in general are driving me crazy. Please don't come into my store and read the books...and not buy them. We are trying to make money here! Oy...this isn't a library!
my currently-reading shelf:
Ugh - half of my customers are driving me crazy. We're a week behind because we're super busy right now and they call me asking for me to move mountains for them because they waited too long to get me the info I need to help them. When I explain why I can't do that and that there are 10 other projects for me to do look at before theirs, they get pissy. How would they like it if I "squeeze in just one quick project" before theirs and THEY had to wait?! And calling me doesn't make it go faster. In fact, not only does it eat up valuable time that I could be working on projects so that I can get to theirs, it makes me passive aggressive and I put their project back on the bottom of the stack even if it was near the top just out of spite. So there. :-P
What is GOOD about this situation? The people above me fully support my passive aggressiveness. lol.
Exactly. I remember working at a retail store and people would pull that same crap. "Can't you just do my order first?" Even though I waited till the last minute to place said order?....I told them no, it wouldn't be fair to the people who had come in before him. Also, would he like it if I said yes to the next person and you were pushed down the list? He said he didn't care...
Sigh...
my currently-reading shelf:
1/2 of my play kids' parents are driving me crazy.
Got back from vacation (it was absolutely amazing by the way) and went straight back into rehearsals. We had our costume review tonight and I changed the time over two weeks ago and still had half the families missing.
"I didn't know." (um... I posted it on our blog twice AND emailed you!)
"I don't blog." (um... you don't have to blog... you just have to read my updates! AND I emailed the change to you just in case you weren't reading the blog updates)
"I don't have time to sit at a computer all day and check your blog." (well then I definitely don't have time to wait for you when you bring your child late to rehearsal NOR have time to talk to you when you want to ask me questions I've already answered in the handout AND blog AND email)
AAHHHH!!!!
Vent over. Sorry.
MY BLOG!
My boss. It's always my boss.
He's made some changes (i.e. laid off my favorite coworker) and I just can't stand it here anymore. He's putting pressure on me to stay for a really long time, but 1) I don't think I can make it that long and 2) I don't think his business will be viable for that long.
So now I'm aggressively looking for another position...anywhere else. I know it's going to be hard to tell him his layoff plans backfired, but I need to do what's right for me.
