I QUIT!!!!




This place is driving me crazy!
I swear, the receptionist just asked a girl from another department who's birthday it was (you could hear them singing LOUDLY). The girl responded with, oh it's just a department thing. HUH?!?!? How rude.

That is only a small part of why this place drives me to drink :

Does this department normally break out in song???

Maybe it's because they drink too much.

Maybe it's because they drink too much.

Or not enough!!

Thanks guys. I needed that. I don't understand why it is so impossible to find a job I like!! I loved my job the first 6 months, but I guess the novelty has worn off.

Yep, after 19 years the NOVELTY has WORN COMPLETLEY OFF for me! I am thinking of quitting if they don't let me go to WDW in 27 days!

Wow - where you work, they celebrate "department birthdays"? (I didn't know departments had birthdays) Sounds like they celebrate anything - what's not to like?!

Seriously though - life is too short to work at a place you don't like.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine got annoyed at all the birthdays (and anything) being celebrated at work that when she voiced that she got booted from the celebrations, making her eat her boss's cake from the wedding of the former King of England (Elizabeth's uncle the name escapes me) and Wallace Simpson that was over 50 years old!

your posting reminds me of a former co-worker. he got fed up and decided to quit. he checked the personnel handbook on the proper "resignation procedure" and it said that verbal or written notification sufficed. so...he wrote up his letter of resignation as an email attachment with the title " i quit, want to know why" then sends it to his boss as well as everybody on the entire email system (we worked for a county agency so our email "universe" included every employee for every department, every board of supervisor...) it detailed every inappropriate behaviour he encountered, office politics, supervisory indiscretions "my boss (named) comes in at 10 each morning and leaves at 3-does payroll know about this?"

whooo boy, he was not soon forgotten (esp. by his supervisor or her boss who was very lax in getting time cards from her for her "alternate work schedual").

Oh and the best part? After the "party" they spent 15 minutes walking by my desk bring all the LEFTOVERS to their office. Oh no, no thank you. I don't want any, but thanks for asking! Oh wait....YOU DIDN"T! lol

Ok this is my office. The cubicles in the middle (Where I sit) and the offices around the side. This part sucks. My cubicle is open so I look like I am the receptionist. And all the offices and other cubicles (except 1, my bosses) belong to A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT, and not only that but they are a different company! I work for a real estate brokerage and we have other companies (title, mortagage, etc.) in our offices. So everyone thinks I am the receptionist for the TITLE Company!!

The blue line is the path that everyone and their brother has to take to get to their office. Obviously they can't go around.....This is more fun.

File this under "What I would do if I ever win the lottery..."

I should have done this when I left my last job...guess I'll have to file this one under that just-in-case file

They were singing for me.. ok, no one sang to me today but I did have about 10 1st graders tell me happy birthday.

I would share with you Amanda. I'll think of you later when I have a dessert!

That episode was HILARIOUS!

I actually had a going-away party at one job, it was nice. They ordered some pizzas from Lou Malnatis and we had it during lunch. Very thoughtful of them.
