What's wrong with her eating her share?

Nothing! What's wrong is her going back for seconds to take home to her husband because she's such a cheap bitch that she takes more than her fair share of everything that comes through those doors and is labeled as "community".

If there is extra then why does it matter?

There is never "extra" in my office because we have traders on shift 24/7. So whatever isn't eaten at lunch should be saved for the traders who come in on night shift. This is always the process. So when she takes more than her share it's just basically stealing from the night traders, leaving them less food. It's just rude and cheap and...and...and it really grinds my gourd.

we have one of those here too, except she hoards it for herself rather than taking it home to her husband. she gets at least 2, sometimes 3, helpings when it was only planned that each employee would get 1 helping. she's also known for helping herself to treats in other departments that were intended only for that department (e.g. birthday cake, holiday gift baskets from vendors). then, to make matters worse, she brags about the free food being her breakfast or lunch.

breakfast bagels are provided by the boss man as a way of randomly saying "thank you" to the office employees. she has brought cereal to eat. she eats her cereal, but takes a bagel (or maybe even 2 bagels) and wraps them in a napkin and tucks them into her purse to take home with her.

i mean srsly? ugh, drives me up the wall.

she's also a know-it-all. she brought leftover spaghetti for lunch - on a stryofoam plate. she is about to put the styrofoam plate in the microwave to heat up her lunch and i stop her. DON'T DO THAT. why not? IT WILL MELT AND CHEMICALS WILL SEEP INTO YOUR FOOD. no it won't, i do this all the time.



10 minutes later she's eating lunch on a taco-shaped half-melted styrofoam plate and giving me the evil eye.

i could go on and on about this woman!

She comes to work early only on the days she has to take a massive dump. We have Apple Cinnamon Febreze in the bathroom, so she sprays it after she's done and the bathroom smells like someone shit on an apple pie for 2 hours because there's no ventiliation.

I actually made a thread about that one.

Boss had tickets to a midnight show for Transformers

He called out sick today


V Yeah I watched a hockey game with my boss, after leaving his place I went out drinking with some friends, and THEN went to the airport to see the Canes come back.

My boss called out sick the day after that too, and I was at work at 8am

^HAH!

I went with my boss and his family (wife and 2 teenage boys) to TWO midnight showings - Pirates 2 and Pirates 3. Both on a Thursday night. And he'd have kicked my ass if I called in sick.

People that go to the gym for lunch and come back without taking a shower, smelling like a sweaty pig that rolled in cow shit.

Non-Managers that knock on your closed door to your office, see that you are on the phone but proceed to sit down in the guest chair anyway, and continue to sit there impatiently waiting for you to finish your phone call. WTF?

People that come into your office to tell you all about their weekend but never ask about yours. WTF?

however, when interns come sit in the office and act like they are important enough to interrupt is what pisses me off

My boss has some idiosyncratic pronunciations and turns of phrase that are more funny than annoying. Among them:

* "Massatusetts" for "Massachusetts"
* "Ven-zu-e-la" for "Venezuela"
* "Nuvo" for "Nuova" (as in the Italian word for "new")
* "La Marzocca" for "La Marzocco"
* "Rancilio" with a soft C rather than -ch-
* "OUB" instead of "OOB" for "out of business"--we joke about being "OUO" for "out of office"

when minutes of my day are wasted by phone conversations that begin like this:

my phone rings
Me: Hello?
Caller: Hi, this is ______.
(Your name is displayed on the phone when you call, so I already knew that, but thanks for confirming it.)
Me: Hi, ______. What can I do for you?
Caller: How are you today?
(Is this what you called me for?)
Me: Fine, thanks. How are you?
Caller: I'm fine. I have a quick question for you.
(Oh, ok, you didn't call just to chat; however, we passed "quick" already so cut to the chase.)
Me: Ok, what's your question?
Caller: Well, I'm not sure if you'll be able to answer this or not...
(Well we won't know unless you ask...hurry up and ask your damn question already!!)

this happens 5-10 times a day

stupid girl insists on spraying herself down with rankass perfume everyday after lunch. if it was just a pff-pff, it wouldn't be so bad, but its more of a pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff-pff. it fouls up the whole office and gives me a headache.

due to budget shortages, we have to pay for any office party activities out of our own pockets. the receptionist keeps a tab of who paid up and if you didn't pay it is assumed you aren't participating. if you don't participate enough times you'll get a talking to.

the low morale and general feeling of "the beatings shall continue until morale improves" that comes with quarterly layoffs and paycuts

I can't take all this drama anymore!!!! The screaming, the crying, people not speaking to each other, causing other people to panic and go screaming and crying to HR, storming away from work in the middle of the day then sending out an e-mail saying they will not be returning to work until Sept 1st.

I can't take it but I have nowhere else to go. RAWRRRRWRWRRRWRRRGGGHH

checking up on some customers who havent bought anything for awhile, i find out that their business is slow, they dont have a lot of money right now

i forward this info on to a supplier cause he wanted to know

he has to call them to make sure they told the truth

sometimes i think he wants to see if he can intentionally lose sales (present or future)

of course when it hits the fan, whose fault does he think it is, mine or his

when there is a ton of work to do, the boss keeps telling everyone this, but they are never there and take vacation at least every quarter for a week at least.

and I haven't taken any vacation since middle of 2007 because I know if shit didn't get done, I'd be in trouble. I always just have one or maybe two days off every week. This will be the first thing I say if I were to leave any time soon- sorry I was here every damn day, including the weekends..............


and yes people who don't speak English and expect you to help. Nothing better.

People around here think that because I am special and I drive around all day that they can ask me to do shit son.

It's like, they ask me to bring them shit all the time son. Or they ask me to give them a ride to some place son. Shit is crazy son.
