This week SUCKS already!

[bfreebern]

Ready for a beer and a cigar when 5:00 hits. Freaking Verizon really sucks when you try to get them to work w/ ya to deliver service to a few customers. God I hate those damn people :angry:

Anyway, I hear 5:00 calling name.

I agree..........

3 Department Meetings, 2 Staff Meetings, 1 District Special Ed Meeting, and it's only Tuesday!

I think I'm going to hit Art's Bar and Grill in Riverside, CA tonight after practice. Taco Tuesday = $0.75/ea, Long Island Ice Teas (with just a splash of Cola for color) = $3.00, dark atmosphere with no kids = smoking section (cigars allowed), your drink orders immediately, and your food within 5 minutes of sitting down = priceless.

The waitress/bartenderess will even sit and smoke cigars with you. What a great place to unwind and enjoy food, beverage, friends, and stogies.

I have this quote taped to my monitor:

"Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY and they meet at the bar."

Seems to really fit this week

the note sticking to mine says:

"You were looking for a job when you found this one."

The day might have sucked but the evening is turning out pretty damn good. Look in the Saloon a bit later and see why.

When I have a bad day, I visit some work sucks websites. One of my favorites had a guy in a tie with his head you know where, the caption under it read: "The boss" Unfortunately, the site is now not running, probably because the owner couldn't find a job and pay the bills? :sign: Are you management material? click here to find out.

I'm on jury duty this week. I didn't think it was possible, but I'd actually rather be at work. ???

1. I get a harrasing call from Lowes credit collection. They want to charge me $450 interest on money I don't owe! I setteled my account (I had 0% financing on my kitchen appliances) in march. They say I shorted them by $180. I ask them to prove it, but their system doesn't go back that far :0 WTF! ?? Over the past year I've had more than 30 harassing phone calls from them :angry: all because the F'd up. Unbelieveable.

2. Also back in mach the managment company for my condo came to repair a leak in the roof. The dummy working on the ceiling fell of the ladder nearly breaking his leg. We he fell he ripped my chandelier almost completely out of the ceiling, broke a pane of stained glass, and deeply scared my wall. I bought a new light to replace the one he broke (they gave me a whopping $20 credit). The leak was not fixed. It has leaked twice since then before they finally came out again in April. Now the leak is fixed, but I have crazy water damage, a hole in the drywall (the told me to make one so the water would drain from a single spot) no light, and broken window. This is September in case you haven't been paying attention.

Today I get home and I just happen to see a note from yesterday on my old car (it has no tag - I'm still searching for what charity I want to donate it to) from the very same company telling me they'll be towing it tomorrow. OMFG!!!!!!! They can come out here on 2 day's notice to steal my car, but in 6 months they can't fix the sh!t THEY damaged!!!! :angry:


But, to end on a positive note....I am a member of the "I have a most excellent girlfriend" club. We're new (only 2 weeks now), but oh so good together :thumbs:

Dixie!

I can't help but think of the Jury duty movie by Paulie Shore. Were you elected jury foreman??

That's good. I was just passed on a managerial position because THEY did not think I would like being away from the technical side of the business or the 15% raise.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking: "What in the hell are they thinking?" when it comes to management?? Just curious. ??? Yeah, I bet that you wouldn't have been able to handle that 15% salary raise. You would've told them to shove it and that you are temping for now on!

Reminds me of this joke which has been flying across the net like mad.

The 5 Year Old

Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little girl and some construction workers that makes you believe that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time...
A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.
Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough, more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a couple of dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.
When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the house next door to us."
My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Lowes ever deliver the ****ing sheet rock..."

Just love that last line about Lowes.
