I know. Me too. The only thing that keeps me here are the days. I work a flex schedule - 3 days 12 hours a day. That is a full week in 3 days and I love it.

Exactly my sentiments Landi and Ginger, I work my own hours, as long as everything gets done, don't work Fridays, I have to leave early two days a week for physio (still from my ankle dis/break). He's flexible for the most part, money's great, I just have grown to really dislike the atmosphere and the job. But I can't leave. I'm still not able to stand or walk for long periods of time so to find a desk job with even half the perks especially in the summer is tough. But I am just so unhappy working here. I just want to stand up, quit and walk away without looking back. I re-read and think gee I sound like a whiner. Life outside of work is great, it's where I'd much rather be! Jmm, if I started now I'd turn into a blubbering puddle under my desk but thank you so much for asking.

may i join this parade? i want to quit so bad it hurts. but, i can't make this kind of money anywhere else locally and i don't want to move. my boss told me yesterday that she gave everyone that was here on monday 2 hours administrative leave at 3 p.m. but, none of us that had taken vacation get to enjoy it. i told her that i don't disagree with her on much (she is the director and i am the assistant director) but i didn't think that was fair to those of us that were not here. she just said 'O.K.' i want to retire so bad i can smell it.

Oy, I am so on the same page. I like the firm I am with, but I hate the department. Most of my fellow co-workers are sneaks. My boss - I have no respect for. She is out again today. That makes 7 days in the last month. I am just disgusted.

I am sooo angry. There are signs on my street saying "No Parking Tuesday 7/11/06 - NYC Police Department" After calling for 5 hours today to find out why - I find out that they are having a Police Department Function (party) and the "higher ups" will need parking. So they are taking ALL resident parking on the street for them. I am insanely outraged. I emailed the mayor and the police commissioner. I also emailed a Channel 7 News, and I am gonna email all the other Channels. I am just furious. If you knew how hard it is to park anyway, because they keep building and building more and more and there is no friggin room for anyone anymore and now they are taking all the parking spots because of a party?????? Okay, taking a deep breath now.

I don't blame you Ginger. Doesn't sound fair. Hope to see it on the news tonight. Not a lot of warning either--1 day!

In college once, a galpal and I licked marshmallows and stuck them to a guy's windshield. It froze over night and it took him almost 2 hours to get them off! (He couldn't pour HOT water b/c it would've cracked the glass, and luke warm water takes a lot longer to unstick marshmallows!) LOL Not sure it works in the heat of summer, but it's less damamging and WAY more annoying than the tire thing! (Hmmm...maybe you could top them w/chocolate squares and leave a "smore" for them!) LOL

There will be all police around. I need exposure to make this known, so it embarasses the department. The big police taking all the poor residents' parking. That will be worse than doing anything to their cars.

Maybe Lance's credit card is now available for any additional funds, Granny. I know Fruitbat gave it back to him recently, though.

I really think I scared them off. I seems that the signs were taken down, and no cars were moved. Yay, I am tough !!!!
