Not MY Communication Issue

Dear Big Boss, Just because YOU don't get along with my equivalent coworker doesn't mean that I should be reassigned all the work that YOU had to work with her on. You're a fucking director. Get over it. Thanks, Too... Continue reading

I Don't Even Need ONE Horse

I miss the days (though they were few) when our household income was over $100k and we had very few financial responsibilities. Thanks to the crap economy, we're now barely scraping by and if my 10-year-old car calls it quits... Continue reading

Every kiss does not begin with "k"

Coming at me like a Big Mouth Billy Bass is not the right way to kiss me. It's very off-putting to feel your entire mouth cover the lower third of my face. Reel it in a bit! Continue reading

Important Leadership Qualities

Apparently to be a leader at my company you need to be inflexible, unforgiving, petty, intolerant and a racist. And that's why I'll never be promoted. Continue reading

Unjust

Somehow, I was the recipient of an email today at work, telling me that a coworker, who is about 7 years younger than I am and 924052 times more whiny, entitled, lazy, and bitchy, accepted a position in a new... Continue reading

Shame on Me

When I see a profile pic in which the person looks mildly unattractive, I wonder how ugly that person looks most of the time since I know everyone chooses the most attractive pictures they can find of themselves. Then I... Continue reading

I do not think it means what you think it means

Would the temp in my office kindly stop using the word "marriage" when referring to the stacks of files she is combining? I swear she said it five times over the course of 20 minutes. "Since there was only one... Continue reading

Yo Soy Mejor Que Tu

If you are going to be the boss of me, I expect you to be better than I am at something, anything. From what I can tell, the only thing my boss is better at than I am is negotiating... Continue reading

I Want Out

I've been looking for a new job for awhile. My job is great, but I want to moveto another state. Oh, and every day, there is at least one tiny thing (or one huge thing) that annoys me so much,... Continue reading

Women & Children First

Two weeks ago my company had layoffs. This week they announced cell phones for mobile or home-based workers are no longer a covered expense. And today, the CEO sends an email saying we're still fiscally strong. Not. Buying. It. Continue reading

Document Document Document

Since nothing came of us reporting our awful boss to her boss I have begun my own process of writing down every ridiculous or completely bitchy thing she does that is inappropriate or inflexible or even just mean. Maybe that... Continue reading

How Is It Possible

That someone with two master's degrees is totally incapable of assembling furniture from a kit? Or realizing that a shiny thing with a spirally groove is a screw and has to be, well, screwed in? Hammering doesn't have quite the... Continue reading

Pins & Needles

My coworker and I went to my boss's boss to discuss my boss's behavior and attitude. He wasn't surprised and has been working with her for a year on both those issues. He said he had to think about what... Continue reading

Speaking Ill of the Departed

I was outraged on your behalf when you were fired last year, but I have been cleaning up your messes ever since, including a hidden batch of crap I uncovered today. Like a politician desperately behind in the polls, I'm... Continue reading

That's One Way to End the Meeting Early

I don't know what the cause is, but I have been exuding the most noxious, poisionous, near-lethal fumes on a constant basis lately. Good news: I have an office and no one sits next to me. Bad news: I have... Continue reading

Your Unacceptable Behavior Can Suck It

Calling a telephone number so it rings non-stop from 12:00-12:30 AM and subsequently launching into a screaming tirade at the person who answers for being inconsiderate is totally unacceptable. Much less from an adult... who is a member of our... Continue reading

Bad Idea

I know it would be a very bad idea. I know in this economy I'd be a fool to do it. But I am ridiculously close to quitting my job without having something else lined up in its place. I... Continue reading

Positive Would Be Very, Very Negative

Peeve Part 1: I've been really nauseous, especially in the mornings, for the last week and a half - a couple of times to the point of throwing up. Other than that, I've had no symptoms of any illness. I... Continue reading

Impatience

I had a phone interview on Wednesday of last week. I'm still waiting to hear about next steps. I really want this job. It would be different and interesting and for a company that, on paper, looks great. I'm trying... Continue reading

It Really Is Very Important Information

That line on the information packet you receive when you refilled your prescription? The one that says do not discontinue use without first consulting your physician? Yeah, that's a pretty important little tidbit. You think you would take that seriously... Continue reading

Free Trip to Europe! Oh, Wait...

Yay! I was invited to speak at a conference in Spain this summer. I'm excited because it is a big deal professionally. If all of that wasn't good enough, the conference organizers will pay all of my travel expenses. However... Continue reading
