What REALLY grinds your gears?

it's not that hard to grasp...

your/you're
there/their/they're
to/too

you're tucking your shirt in?
they're going to tuck their shirts when they get there.
i plan to tuck my shirt in, too.

That's when you start commenting loudly on what she's doing when you walked by.

Say as loud as you need to for any supervisor anywhere to hear..."Hey, I didn't see that episode yet, Bertha...tell us what happens what you're finished watching it."

Or, "Looks like you have the new subscription service from Hulu, Bertha!"


Always use her name. Do it every time.

We just fired your co-worker's twin I think. She was huge and lazy, would even snore loudly at her desk.

I have never been a whistle blower but once I drew up a email to a group of folks and included her in it saying that IT is now tracking IP addresses and their bandwidth usage specifically when streaming content. She didn't go on for months and she was all nervous about it. It did back fire a bit because I never told my friend Chris that it was joke and he didn't listen to Pandora for months as well. She is back to her old tricks now.

My co-worker and your co-worker are in everyone's office you just got learn to ignore them. They get that one job that is at their pace and they sit there and rot. No desire to move up or do better just happy with the same day to day BS.

Ok, I"m going full rage mode here.

:soapbox:


What grinds my gears? Lazy ass state workers. I can understand having a downtime from not having anything to do, but when issues come up, get off your ass and do your job. When I check your calendar, and schedule a meeting to run some networking tests at a remote site, ****ING BE AVAILABLE YOU PIECES OF SHIT. Better yet, don't accept the invite and then send me multiple emails the day of trying to get out of doing your job.

First email: Are you still planning on heading to remote location today? We’re supposed to get a bad storm this afternoon.

My reply: Yes I do. If by chance it’s bad around noon when I leave, I’ll postpone it. If not, I’ll be heading down so I can get this out of the way.

Her reply: OK. My coworker is working from home today and I have the Firewall Audit vendor on-site. I’ll try to be available for you if you need me, but I’m not sure how much assistance I can offer. Considering the info that was learned about the site when we met a few weeks ago, it sounds like the general design may be at the heart of it.

THAT"S WHY I CHECK PEOPLE"S CALENDARS BEFORE INVITING THEM TO STUFF!!! God damnit, I hate state workers sometimes. It's obvious this sorry lazy bitch is trying to get out of doing her job.


Know what else grinds my gears? Having a boss that makes double what I make without no college degree or IT certification, and he can't even remember shit from last week that we had a 2 hour meeting on. He's asking me about how long this unit has had networking issues, when it was HE that originally sent me the email about them having issues, AND the fact he's been included in ALL of my ****ing emails detailing everything.

Really? Really? ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME? Double my salary and I have to hold your ****ing hand?

Install a Blue Coat unit, then play whack-a-mole with the offenders and enjoy them squirming when they call to report their browser having issues with unnamed sites.

Yeah, I hate those people too....

You know when youre on google theres a black bar on top of the screen that provides links to things like Maps, News, Gmail, Youtube and other stuff?

Well it really grinds my gears when i search something, like redskins for example, then after viewing my search results i click on the "News" link on that top black bar and it blanks out my search. I want to see news on redskins or whatever i search, not start all over from scratch.

Sure i know you guys are saying well you have the option to click on the News link in the left box that appears during search results and then you can see news results pertaining to your redskins search. Well its not the same. Not even close.

First off, its more ergonomic to click on the top section to get news results on your search. Its flat out cumbersome to go all the way to the left of the page after you search to view news relating to your search.

Second off, many/most of the links in the top black bar retain the search term for what you searched for initially. If i click on pictures or maps im not forced to start over. So why is it that my search experience is ruined when looking for relevent news?

Third off, i dont think this was always the case, and the only thing i hate more than hope is change. Im forgetfull at times so when i click on news with the expectation that its gonna be on what i was searching i really get pissed off that google wants me to start all over. Sometimes i just say f it and turn off the internet.

Fridays before a holiday weekend and someone ask me to do something at work. Isn't today a official I am here but I am really not day?

Idk about that. I'm at work right now and it feels like a regular day to me. If there's work to be done, do it. Think of it like this, the more work you do today, means the less work you have to do tomorrow, or as it applies here, next week.

You work at a car dealership it should be your busiest weekend of the year.

That part that grinds me is it is someone's work that is off today. My work is caught up theirs is not.
