bored,
Stressed out from trying to save jobs.

Wondering how to fix problems that I'm not getting back on from either side.

Worried that doing the right thing won't help in the long run.

Doing the best I can. :o)

Jed. :o)

Nahh I'm cool Fanny :o) Just needing to vent a bit :o)

Pamy I'm assuming the boss with the name on the cake is the big cheese? Or maybe just the one that those girls like?

Hey Pamy, that sorta happened to me last yr. Every yr, the girls in the office have gotten me and my boss a gift for boss's day. This yr, she had had surgery a couple of months prior to BD so they went all out and got her a new chair so she would be more comfortable....and I didn't even get a card. It sucked!!

No, the name that was omitted was the big boss. The little group that got the cake are mad at her, but believe me when they need her for something they will be sweet as pie to her!!!
Sabbitia...that does suck! When we asked why the other name wasn't on the cake, they said 'oh well'
ps..the ones that did it are the lowest on the totem pole here and the ones that are upset(my group)are the middle management

Pamy, what really sucked was two of them had the nerve to ask me for time off/special favors that day. I wasn't feeling very generous, to say the least.

Pamy, it doesn't sound like that little group is too smart. (Stupid to leave off that name) My advice is to steer clear of them. They won't be working there long.

I work for the county, it takes an act of God to get someone fired!!! One guy threatened to come to work kill everyone and blow up the place, he still works there! If I ever see him come to work in fatigues I am running to the nearest exit!!

This reminds me why I refuse to particpate in these type of gatherings and special occasions anymore.

One party, I went out and bought my lunch at Bennigan's and brought it back to the birthday lunch. I did this because they were having paella and I do not like seafood. Instead of being a b*tch and demanding they change the menu, I just went out and got something I liked.

They were pissed because they weren't getting any money out of me (though I did give them a couple of dollars to go towards the cake.) and they purposely left my name off the card.

I am so glad I decided on this policy, because last year, I found out that they always charged an extra $ so they would have extra food to take home with them. I was never offered anything to take home, ever, or invited to the left over lunches the next day. Even though I paid the ame amount as they did. I've been at this company for over 6 years.

Don't even get me started on the time I was chosen to get a bday cake, and I didn't know that there was 1 person who couldn't eat chocolate. He threw such a fit, he wouldn't let it go. Even though I felt bad and gave him back his money immediately when he stated this. I also went and bought him some pastalitos to eat while we had the cake. I knew he loved them.

Thank god he retired, otherwise I would still be hearing about it.

I can go on and on, but my blood pressure is rising. The easiest thing to do, is just refuse to get involved with stuff like this. I truly don't care if they think I am a b*tch. I think they are all certifiable.

Pamy, that is probably an excellent plan. Really.

Jed, just do the best you can. That is all you can ever do. Try not to think that however it turns out is all your credit or fault. It most likely is not.

I am not so happy today because I got chewed out by an ugly librarian. Our library has a different computer system and I simply couldn't get the bloody thing to work. When I tried to ask what was wrong, that skinny, smelly witch with a pointed nose, no chin, a pock-marked face and hair that needs washing, treated me like I was an ignorant alien. She was rude, arrogant, sarcastic and loud. I reported her to another librarian, but didn't feel much better. Up til now I have always enjoyed my trips to the library. I'm going to have to work really hard to get past this and not let this ugly cow ruin my outings.
I think I will station myself at a table near her desk and sit and sneeze and sniff and blow my nose loudly for a few hours.

I am thinking Grooch must work at my office. It gets to the point of being ridiculous when they ask you to donate to every event for every person....birthdays, anniversaries, kids graduations, marriages (some have been married 3 times since I work here) and funerals for every person known to anyone who works here.

A long time ago, I decided to participate in my own way - at birthdays I provide the paper plates and forks, I donate to first and usually second marriages and that's it, I donate to funeral flowers for close relatives and not for Uncle Bob's third cousin by his 4th marriage who has lived in France for 20 years. They get cards.
Our office also likes to have an entire meal (from a local restaurant) for 10 or more people delivered to the employee who has had a death in the family (although they didn't do this for me when my dad died 4 years ago). This I certainly reserve for their close relatives.

I find it hard not to participate at all, since I've worked with half of these people for 10 to 30 years, but I feel it's gotten out of hand. With over 30 employees, you could be donating big bucks every week. It's hard for the people who are on the lower end of the pay scale here.

OK, off the soapbox now. Hope I didn't offend anyone....it's just the way I feel.

Grooch and Jeep, WOW! and I thought my office was bad! Do you all work w/ a bunch of women? My office of 30 has only 3 guys, I think it wouldn't be this bad if we had more men. Men don't seem to have a the little pissy fits that women do. Oh well, when ever I am having a bad day I just come here and always feel better!

Pamy, yeah mostly women. Only 5 men in my office. Yesterday, everyone was moaning and complaining and VERY loud and if you looked thru the office you could actually SEE female hormones floating in the air!!! Some are natural and some are artificial and I don't think they get along very well!!

LOL Jeep! Yeah, nothing worse than working with a bunch of women, especially the ugly unhappy,
b!tchy ones!!!
