Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

sounds like a plan!

the most  of yesterday's exchanges was between myself and this 22 year old spoiled brat that lives with her parents and doesn't pay any bills or anything

I have a similar situation here but not nearly as annoying as yours.  We have a guy that has been here a couple of months who just graduated with his masters in CS, focusing on networking.  Granted, he is super sharp and full of book knowledge, but he lacks any real-world experience in this field.  It gets frustrating when he asks me a question and I answer him, only to be contradicted with how things should work according to his perfect world lab scenarios.  At some point, his reality is going to shatter before his very eyes and he will learn to trust someone that has been doing this for 14 years over a book.  I have no doubt he will be ok, but it's gonna be messy when it happens.  8-p

ugh it's so depressing that there's no way to escape the stupidity

oh and speaking of stupidity the dr who owns the clinic and doesn't work very often decided a few days ago that he couldn't work the only weekend of the summer that he was scheduled to work so tomorrow i get to work all alone tomorrow for 9 hours just selling food and answering the phones

[r00]

hurray for losing my entire weekend to being on-call and having to come into work and fix shit anyway!

another annoying_good_morning_lady incident...
I have my headphones on, focused, and am obviously deep into working on something when she comes in and starts up her good morning bullshit with each person in order to announce her presence and gain a response.  She passes my cube and probably said good morning, but I obviously wasn't paying attention to her or hearing her due to my headphones and being busy. 

She makes a second pass, this time waving her hand in front of my face to break my attention away from my work and music.  I take off my headphones...

me: I had my headphones on and can't hear you.  What do you want?

her: *laughs* Oh you are just like my son.  When he puts his headphones on, he goes into his own world and can't hear a thing I say.

me: Smart kid.  *put headphones back on*

[individualzero]

LOL

You need to start a webcomic or something about Good Morning Lady. Isn't that the second or third time you've owned her?

[videodrone]

Oh man, I am totally lamenting the days when I could have headphones in at work. Being forced to listen to the bullshit of my coworkers for 8 hours every day has made me much more intolerant than I already was. ;p

You know, when you're material control on a billion-dollar project, holding up a package of three items to do a package of a thousand items doesn't really fly - it takes like five minutes and I promise you, that giant package will still be there. 

I literally do not understand why people don't keep on top of small tasks at work.

r00: I seriously believe you could make a case for harassment, because the legal definition goes further than it used to.

I've never understood that behavior; someone who will interrupt my phone call (and it's not like I talk on the phone all the time so am constantly unavailable; I have only a few phone conversations a month) or otherwise disturb any other type of activity I'm engaged in (such as wearing headphones) that I have to cease to acknowledge them.  It's almost always trivial bullshit that they're interrupting me for.

If it's not important enough that it won't still be relevant when I'm finished, it's probably not important enough to interrupt me.

[sin]

God dammit; I submitted a story for publication a few weeks ago, and I know it usually takes awhile, but I wish they'd just reject me already so I can get on with my life.
