I've been pretty miserable at this job for a few months now and am actively looking for new work but still have to deal w/ this one. It does allow me to just sit on the forum all day so thats a plus but otherwise it's just painful. Anyways, just wanted to see if I'm alone and if so i'll crawl back into my hole or maybe start another bait instead... i'm working on my first right now but its going very slowly. It's been 2 weeks and am now just getting to some WU stuff. Now the barrister character won't reply to me but the sick woman just did and asked me to send the money to her doctor who will pay the lawyer. I'm trying to get him fired instead though but worried that they'll drop me.

I'm also not my usual happy self

1) One of my co-workers, Linda, joked that my daughter(16) was probably in the process of being filmed for a "Girls Gone Wild" video while she's in Florida with the ball-busting hellbeast with no soul (my ex-wife).

My reply "Listen, you f%@^ing wildebeast, despite your appearance, I've always remembered you're a woman when vomit out stupid statements like that but if you say something like that again, I may be forced to forget that fact and beat your ass."
She replied "Kiss my ass"
I replied "That's a 3 man job"
She stormed out for lunch.

When is the video out? Laughing

i'm going to have to remember that come back next time someone says "kiss my ass"!

The people at my office are okay for the most part - pretty boring but better than having people like that woman. I just sit here and envision telling my manager "I'm sorry but I've taken an new opportunity..."

Job interview on Friday! Better get my suit all ready to go and my game face on. I'll be calling in sick here and enjoying the long weekend once the interview is done.

If someone can put a piece of matzoh in Alice's mouth I'd appreciate it - bunny ears aren't my thing Laughing

^^^Good luck.

I'm currently sweating on mine. The person who interviewed me is on a week's vacation. Probably to recover. Laughing

Reprob8 does all my bespoke avatars. If you ask him nicely and mention my name you may get some help. On the other hand....

My team's been moved from a private office to open plan. This is like a kick in the head.

We've always been a damn successful team - we produced three complex books, managed a website, run a tour to over 150 locations last year, managed a team of 50 researchers, etc, etc, etc. We got sponsorship for all those products, too.

So we're demoted to a couple of desks on a corridor. We can't play music any more, our working time is no longer flexible, and all the 'soft' benefits have gone. PAH! Evil or Very Mad

My boss is so fed up, he resigned last week.

I miss the days when I would say �work sucked today�. I have not worked since I had to medically retire. Now all I do is have dinner ready for my wife and drive the kids around. Oh god, does this make me a woman?

Yes

@Ghost, or a 'new man' (same thing as a woman really)

Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 9:15 pm

Oh well, I guess the only thing to do next is buy a dress. I take it my wife is now the man. Maybe she will finally have use for the part of my body that she has kept in her purse since we got married.

Careful there. You make it sound like it's a bad thing. Wink

You'll find shopping for a new dress is quite fun.

@Rodus. Regarding a 'new man' being the same thing as a woman really. I respectfully disagree unless there's some major surgery involved. Shocked

I mainly work from home so I can't complain about my co-workers. G-mail been down for most of the afternoon, some other websites are running really slow and my cat keeps scattering my papers everywhere. If those are the worst of my work problems, I have no right complaining about work.

OK, maybe it's different in the US but New Man in the UK died out pretty quick due the over feminine nature of itself
I'm not saying feminine is bad in women but in men..... should I just stop digging now?

Is that Hilary Clinton??? Shocked

Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2007 8:46 am

^^^^Be careful. Slagging off the next President of the United State may well bring the FBI and CIA knocking on porch door in the wee small hours. Now that would be scary. Shocked

No stains on that apron. Laughing

effing $170 speeding ticket!!!!

Not a good day, mumble, mumble, mumble

@Tommo Shanter,

You forgot Barack Obama!

That guy is going to beat hilary, i'm sure of it. Polls have suggested that people are more likely to vote for a black guy than a woman, out of the two american prejudices. Plus Hilary has eben involved in scandal pretty much her whole political career, while the worst the media can get on Obama is that he smokes cigarettes and used to take drugs as a kid.

@tikk

Whilst not wanting to get into a political debate which is a no-no here. I will bet you one shiny dollar that 'Big H' will win. After all, all that scandal never stopped her other half did it?

Pesonally, I think she is scary, but she has already got experience of running the country when her hubby was too busy messing around with his Cubans in the Oval Orifice, sorry Office. Very Happy
