~The Daily Grind~ 10/27/09

OK- a little vent-

GRRRRRRR!!! Can't I get through 1 day without my !@#$%^ boss picking on me?!? It has become so obvious that others are coming up to me and saying "What did you do now to get him mad"

OK, so today, I was there for a few min, and people were stopping by and chatting, some coming in for the day, others leaving for the day. The workbench that I had to use was right outside his office. So, I was talking, those people left, and I went across the room. I was told by a coworker that he came out and said to her "A little less drama, and a little more work"... so I guess that got him started...

Then a few min later, I was watching a video posted on the employee website...it's there for us to watch...and he jumped on me when I turned on the sound...said "OK Debbie, turn that off. Have some respect when you are sitting right outside my office, I'm trying to concentrate. That's really loud" If he had been nice about it, no prob, but he was nasty with his tone, and everyone heard it. Eyes all got wide. I got really angry, but kept my cool, didn't say anything except sorry. I was not disrespecting him at all. I turned on the sound, it was at that level, not my fault. I kept quite the rest of the day, listened to my ipod, and did my work, and didn't look at him or engage him at all. If he wants to be an a$$ then I figure I'll let him. Well, then I have people asking if I'm OK because I'm usually bubbly and happy. So, I can't resist the little dig... "I'm OK, just trying to be quite"

It really stinks that this guy has the power over my eval. He is such a la-hoo-zer

OK vent/pity party over...

Oh, and we have our first official case of the piggy flu. The evening shift clerk started with it on Friday...but did that stop her from going to a concert with 3 other employees? Nope- exposed them all for an hour up and an hour back ride. She has called out for the next 2 days...

It's started....

 

[ddavis860]

Well, I'm going for it.. I'm going to volunteer at the HS whether they like it or not! I guess if they don't want me to know what is going on, they shouldn't be doing anything to worry about, right?

We don't use volunteers in the MS... so by the time youngest is there, they probably will because they are starting a volunteer service at the MS the first of the year... (so maybe I'll volunteer in Jan. but then he moves to the HS in the fall).

I talked to one of the Principals as the other is on vacation.... She is fuming... I gave her the info I know and her blood is boiling right now... I also found out today another mom got a nasty email for not volunteering at the school one day, the reason she couldn't volunteer, he father has passed away and they sent her a NASTY email about it... not caring that she had lost her father... WOW!!! I told the Principal she can call me anytime but I would NOT volunteer or sponsor anything related/organized w/ PTO. I would much rather right her a direct donation to the school for her to use at her discretion... I am just livid.. It helped to get it off my chest...but I'm half tempted to take this to the Superintendent and the School Board..

Nan- is this the same crazy PTO peoples from last year? How rude to call someone after a death in the family. People just don't think!

But the school board might be interested in the goings on. If you got some really good stuff...

But I think it's great you are going to the HS! Hope you have a blast!

Sorry about the bad boss Deb.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Sorry to hear about your boss Deb. Hopefully the one with the Pig Pox will go and lick his door knob for you

OK now that was too funny!!!

Sorry for the vent guys, it was just buring me up when I got home... y'all are the best ya know!

But after talking to DH (and having a skinny margarita and a bubble bath) Things are looking MUCH better!

Nope, this is a whole new group of which NO ONE knows them.. When I stepped away last year, I stepped away...offered very little this year...
Oh, I have made things known to the right people! There should be fur flying as we speak!

As for your boss, tell him to go fly! I'm sorry but he is a jerk!
Just be quiet, listen to your I-pod and wait for him to need you and politely decline to assist!

Can I come play? I lOVE to do list.

Finish christmas bookmarks (all 25)
Rest leg (I pulled a hustle muscel (according to my kids))
Clean up mess for arts
Clean up pillows
Pick up trash (all in one bag)
Clean counters


And I vaccumed and edged (dust buster), tidyed my bathroom and living room. I even restacked the dirty laundy thats overflowing the basket.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Bosses suck, no two ways about it. I had a cold one year around Christmastime. We ordered food in and he asked me to eat in a separate room because I had a cold...I swear, I really considered going in and licking his phone after that. I was sooooooooooooooo pissed! And, it made me

Hustle muscle! That's funny!

 

[ddavis860]

Wow, I think I would have cried if someone asked me to eat in a different room...that's terrible!

OK, boss was happier today, and I was working across the room, so I was happier too. He also "might" have heard me in the breakroom making a comment about not being about to do anything right, even breath yesterday.

Oh well, when he was leaving he said "Goodbye Trouble" and I said "Goodbye John" Whatever...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I might of popped off with Goodbye A..wipe! LOL

I'm glad you had a better day!!!

My DH surprised me yesterday with a Gypsy!!!!!! He came to Michaels just before I got off work and bought it for me. I can't wait to play with it!!!

And, they finally had the final callback auditions for the 2nd play this semester. There are only 3 actors in this one and DS is one of them!!!!!!

Awesome day in your house!

Still got a Little Bit home. His temp is 99.8. He needs to be fever free for 24 hours. He is coughing much less now and is feeling pretty good. Call of Duty and some Zombie destroying are doing wonders for his constitution.

Good to hear his fever is down and he is coughing less.

OH, and all the volunteering I have been doing has been directly for my kid's classroom thru the teacher...

The MS, will be directly thru a teacher or it won't happen...
The HS, will be directly thru a teacher or it won't happen....

oh, and I will NOT head any committees!!!!

stick to your guns, Nancy, as I know you will!

Oh, and we have our first official case of the piggy flu. The evening shift clerk started with it on Friday...but did that stop her from going to a concert with 3 other employees? Nope- exposed them all for an hour up and an hour back ride. She has called out for the next 2 days...

Perhaps the Big Kahuna will get it next. I can't believe he called you trouble. I know we could choose a few good titles for him.
