She is the worst kind of fat. One who skinny shames me and has every excuse for why she is fat and can’t exercise, from her being ‘insulin resistant’, her car accident in February, her long commute to and from work, to her having to take in her alcoholic/unemployed boyfriend’s dad and having to cook/clean after them.

And if other excuses fail, tries to get on the Master Cleanse...which only lasted a night. I asked her what is the difference between the cleanse and Miralax ( the stuff Drs give you to clear your colon). “ Miralax just makes you shit a ton, the cleanse is actually supposed to help you lose weight.”

But, don’t even nsinuate that she is fat, she gets on the defense. Only she can say that she is fat.

No courtesy flushing. And farting like a chain is being pulled out of your ass when you are shitting.

Solution:

Courtney flush as you drop your load?

Gives the old saying 'killing two birds with one stone' a new meaning.

Courtesy flush doesn't work well on most industrial toilets unless you want a butt bath.

A droplet or two on your ass is worth not shitting like a barbaric caveman at work and offending others.

Annoying coworkers provide much-needed comic relief at my job.

I'm exhausted but can't sleep. It's like the sooner I fall asleep the sooner it's morning, and I have to go in again. Once I'm there, I'm good and even happy, but I still dread it.

We have a huge international IT provider as one of our clients and their firewall blocks SFTP (probably port 22) and so they have a guy transferring all the data to his laptop then running home and sending it to our client SFTP upload location.

If you can't send me an Outlook invite to your meeting, don't expect me to show up. Don't assume I'm going to find out about it from coworkers or be at my desk two minutes before it starts for you to scoop up on your way in. Use Outlook. We have it for a reason.

Boss sent an email out earlier this week saying that today would be "team spirit day". Wear your team colors and jerseys and stuff. I'm the only one in the office wearing a jersey.

It's not really an annoyance, but I don't want to start a thread. Everyday my boss clicks on internet explorer and some web page pops up where you can type in a word and search for it. He then types in "google" to search for google.com. Then he types in the name of our company website and search for that on the google search engine. I even showed him that I added the company website to the favorites list on explorer. Are people really that stupid?

My boss is sick and I am in charge today for the first time. It kind of sucks since people keep calling me up telling me to tell him to look at the e-mail they sent him. I have customers bothering me, but I don't have everything memorized yet. My boss on the other hand has almost every part number memorized for our brand and our competitor.

Hah. So basically everyone thinks you're incompetent and have always been so, but you're really just new. Don't worry, people won't remember this for all time, no matter how unfair it would be to do it.

^No, it's just that I don't have my own work station, so I have never bothered setting up an e-mail account and people wouldn't e-mail me anyway. They always e-mail him asking him questions and then call when he doesn't respond. I guess they just have to wait a day for him to send a quote, or look at the pictures of the part.

I'm not that extreme, but I never search directly from the address bar...instead I type "www.goo.." until the google address comes up, and then hit enter and search from google.com. But it's just a weird OCD thing, rather than technological retardation.

^Why not just type the name of the website in, or ad it to favorites, if you constantly go there?

Oh joy, my boss is out again and so far FedEx has come once and UPS twice. Now I have to try to receive things in. I've never been tasked with doing that and our system is way more complicated than it needs to be.

Student Individualized Education Plan testing modifications (aka mods) used to be a clickable link on the student roster. Now, they're housed under a completely separate database that is clunky and complicated because it does triple duty as student info, IEP review, and meeting guide/minutes. What was once info that I could locate at a glance is now in a completely different app with its own login and -- worst of all -- might not even be there when I look the student up.

Yes! And don't trust people when they encourage you to sneak in a quick nap. They are precisely the same people who will call you out for a solid month after you do.

Our executives / sales team selling functionality our platform doesn't do or won't do for a while. I guess that's pretty common though. Why I could never go into sales. Too much bending the truth.

My boss took the day off again and the other guy that is in charge of the service department is threatening to quit if he doesn't get a job review and the raise he wants. I never have liked it when people stand around complaining about their job all of the time. I can see why people are a little disgruntled though since no one is ever allowed to take vacation even in the off season.

People who repeatedly call you in for advice on the exact same topic, and then don't listen to anything you have to say, and then want to call you in to help you clean up the mess they made by not listening to you, that you warned them would occur.

Today I Drove from Garner, to Rocky Mount, to Dunn, and back to Garner, only to be told that I had to drive to Kernersville immediately and back because we had a loaded trailer coming. Then when I got back after 3 more hours of driving I was told the customer decided to not have their trailer fixed.

Don't come to me complaining about issues with someone who works for me and then get annoyed when I offer solutions or ask questions about whether or not you followed the steps your supposed to follow.

We aren't dating, we're work peers, I'm going to offer solutions not just listen to you bitch about stuff.

We have some district person coming from the parts warehouse up in Syracuse. My boss is actually going to clean out the company van before the guy gets here. That is great because I don't want to touch the fast food mess he left in the van.

Well they were requesting an entire process change in the way we store their data to make it convenient for them to know what they sent us. I told them that's not how we do things. Gets annoying when every person involved in a project at one of clients wants something different and it's all conflicting with what everyone else wants. I guess that's how things work.

Do we really have to have yet another branching discussion?
No, what you want to do won't work. It doesn't work. It will never work, as evidenced by the shitshow I had to clean up just to get our shit merged back to trunk yesterday. I'm glad you did XYZ somewhere else and it never bit you too hard, we're not doing it here. Fuck off, contractor, and follow our company's policies.

I'm not really against my coworkers borrowing things, but they could put them back or not hide them or whatever.

Took my geotech/soils book for 3 months, found it and it's back on my desk once I needed it.
Took my cell phone charger, not sure where it went.
Took my scissors, not sure where they went.

Also people keep leaving water in the electric kettle I bought for the breakroom. Dumping it out once you have made your tea (or once you have decided you no longer need additional tea) is nonzero effort, so yeah just let the thing get grody.
