Re: WTF!

  • I was at Petsmart with Sadie last night and one of the employee's was talking to some people.  As I was walking by they left and the worker said "it's so sad".  Apparently someone in town decided to throw kittens out of their window as they were driving down a busy street.  One of the kittens got ran over and some other people stopped to pick up the other ones!   WTF!  These people need to get thrown out of a moving car to see how they like it!

  • Mel that's awful!! I hope they get caught and punished for that! Poor innocent things like kittens should not be abused like that, they can't defend themselves!

    WTF I have been miss grumpy lately and I need to shake this! I feel like I need to write in a journal to vent my frustrations and upset. Maybe this weekend after I finished ready HP &the deathly hallows and see part 2 in the theater Friday. I don't want to start another project until I do that!

  • That is awful Mel!  In my area a dog (a shiba inu mix) was thrown from a moving vehicle on a VERY busy highway.  Thankfully someone from the humane league was not too far back from the car when it happened and rescued the dog.  He had broken bones and was beat up pretty bad. Thankfully he's found a loving forever home since that incident! 

    WTF...I have been sick since we were in Vegas (3 weeks now).  After going to the Dr the first week back and hearing that it was just a cold, I now come to find after another Dr's appt that it turned into a sinus infection!  Thank GOD it should go away soon with medication.  I felt like I was going nuts!

    I don't know if this applies to your situation but your pet is not supposed to get wet until 24 (or is it 48?) after applying Frontline or Advantage.

    Has the neighbor ever done anything about their flea problem?

  • WTF is wrong with this customer?? He called yesterday to place a brick order for a school in the next county over. He didn't know:

    1.- What brick he needed

    2.- How many he needed

    3. - Directions to the jobsite

    4.- That he had an oustanding balance that had his account on hold. (Yeah right, like the 3 statements & the invoice that you got in the mail along with the mutiple phone calls weren't a clue. Hmm )

    5.- That he needed to fill out a new credit application.  Bare in mind that I sent him one in the mail about 6 months ago with a letter that said his account would be on hold until it was filled out & returned.

    UGH!!! Angry Oh, and he wants delivery Friday or before!!!

    Does he want me to wipe his A$$ and powder it too????? Why do people have to be so stupid?

  • Yeah, Mel - WTF is wrong with some people? My heart breaks just thinking about how those poor animals suffered, and the millions more who aren't able to have anyone come to their rescue...Bastards!!!

    speaking of which...YTF did I lose track of time and forget to secure a place for my two babies at their boarding and pet spa facility for this weekend while we're away??? I was shocked to learn when I did remember that they are booked through the summer. Shocked mainly  because they have never stayed anywhere other than Paradise (yes, our vet/boarding facility is actually named Paradise!) whenever we've gone away. Now my next door neighbors, with whom we're good friends (and who also takes care of our other next door neighbor's two pups when they go away) are going to come over and take care of them while we're gone.

    I should be happy about this, but instead I am worried sick. We've never left them with anyone before and there are just too many variables for my peace of mind. H is fine with it, BTW. Guess I'm just a worried mama...but why couldn't I have called in time!?!

  • Ugh, Mel, I HATE hearing stories like that. Would kind of person would do that?

    My WTF... it's been 15 months, WTF is our wedding video? Granted, we took 6 months to get the video company all of the songs and pictures they needed before they could start editing. They said it would be 4-6 months from that point, so it should have been ready by our anniversary. Then when it was due they said another 6-8 weeks. Then they said it would be done by the end of June. Then they supposedly put it in the mail this weekend, but it still hasn't come (and this place is like 10 miles from our house). I may have to pull the "terminally ill relative" card on them soon. It is now 3 months late!

  • That is so sad, Mel :(  I'm glad that some of those kittens could be rescued, and I hope they find who did this! 

    YTF is there so much drama in my lab recently! There are 2 things that happened this week that make me want to scream!

    Lady 1 has been trying to blame her experiment not working on anyone/everyone else in the lab.  Instead of spending her time redoing her experiment (it would probably take 3 days to repeat), she decided it was her duty to put signs up EVERYWHERE in the office telling people to do really obvious things (making it look like it was our fault that her experiment didn't work).  It would be like putting up signs in an office kitchen that said "don't put silverware down the drain when the garbage disposal is on".   I guess it's kind of funny, like something they would do on the show "The Office", so I'll just have to laugh it off

    This one is more personal: Our supervisor sent out a draft of a report that has been long overdo.  I am second author on the report, and Lady 2 is third.  The supervisor sent it to us and the Big Boss to get feedback, so yesterday I sent back constructive feedback.  Apparently instead of sending feedback, Lady 2 called the supervisor directly and complained that I was before her in the author list.   The supervisor did this intentionally because she left the project and didn't have as much of an impact on the final report.  But since she got all emotional with the supervisor, the supervisor called me and asked if it would be okay if she were listed before me, purely to appease her emotions even though he agrees I deserve the credit over her.  WTF?!?!?  This is so unprofessional!  I hate these politics and hate that she went behind my back and manipulated our supervisor.  Anyway, I brought this issue to the Big Boss, hopefully this will get worked out soon.  

    Sorry, these vents are not coherent, I'm just so frustrated!

    Our boarding facility for the dog is called The Dude Ranch Pet Resort. They have horses and everything. Dakota loves it.

  • @Mel - holy crap! I really can't understand why people would do things like that. If you hate the animal so much, at least dump it on the humane society's doorstep. (Also disgusting, but at least not dangerous!)

    @Stac - Do they have a waiting list or something? I called camp bow wow really late one time and since I'm a frequent customer they put me first on the waiting list, and someone cancelled. Saved my life! I can understand your anxiety about having the neighbors care for your babies as camp bow wow is the only thing that keeps me sane when we're away, but know that they will be fine and your neighbors are obviously trusted pet sitters!

    @Margaret -- Really? I detest people who try to step on other people to get what they want, and more than that I detest supervisors who reward whiners. Gross!

    I will abstain from a WTF since I know you guys must be tired of me complaining about the same thing week after week!

    Thanks Rachel!  I felt good to vent on here, and I'm glad that other people can see my point of view here.  As always, sending job vibes your way!

  • @Mel - That story literally makes me want to throw up. It also makes me want to immediately run home and cuddle my kitty

    WTF - I've had this cough for WEEKS now and it won't go away. ARGH

    WTF - It's fecking HOT outside. I'm not actually looking forward to leaving the nice air conditioning of my office. Meg

     

  • - Mel - Some people are just disgusting, it makes me sick thinking about it.

    - George-Anne - That is beyond ridiculous, how can he expect anything from you, especially when he has absolutely no idea what he needs.  That would be so frustrating to deal with.

    - Margaret - That is completely unacceptable!  I am glad that you did not just say yes, and took it up a level, I hope it all works out.

    WhyTF can I not concentrate at work at all.  And I guess a lot of that has to do with WTF is up with incompetent managers, and dumb co-workers.  I know this is dumb, but it kind of gives an idea of the stupidity around my office.  A guy in a different group from mine (but we work with that group a lot, and are supposed to be trying to work better together) retired.  Everyone in that group has nice office chairs, way nicer than ours.  He gave his chair to my office mate when he left.  Yesterday it was taken from him, for no one to use, because the chair belongs to the other group. The little things can just really get you sometimes.
