Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
Sorry to hear that Roz I hope they pull their heads out of their asses real quick.
Does ANYONE know anyone who can translate Portuguese AND is familiar with crochet??? I found this site with some really cute baby stuff to make, http://magiadocrochet.blogspot.com/2008/05/como-fazer-casaco-de-bb-azul-crochet.html in portuguese. And the crochet terms won't translate well, so it makes no sense. I took 4 years of portuguese in high school; do you think I can remember any of it? Nope! :no
*sigh*
Having the desired height to divide the work and to finish separately, front and coasts, but to go making you kill them necessary to be adaptarem to its handle.

*snarls* Stupid weight loss challenge / competition I am in with some people from work has me SOOOOOO frustrated. They let a summer college intern join after we started, pro rated her entry because of that (the rest of us put in $100 so the pot is almost $1200 split between 1st - 3rd) and then we had to extend it since one of the guys was sent out of town for a project so he wouldn't be available for final weigh in. Fine, no problem. Except that the intern has been back to school for several weeks now and just emailing in her weekly weight with a snapshot of her scale reading. Sounds fair enough, except she is in first place and losing 3+ lbs a week. She's not a "big" girl either from what I was told, never met her. But come ON.... I know how to fake a scale reading easy as could be. She's gonna win $700ish dollars and it is driving me mad. Granted part of that is since I am in 3rd, neck and neck with 2nd. So I would have had a shot at that money myself if not for her. We're going by percentages so even though I am losing quite a lot the math of me being able to beat her is almost impossible especially at her current rate of "loss" since I am a "big" girl. I want to say its not fait to let her stay in (and several people not involved have told me to say as much too) but I know it will sound petty and spiteful. Which it is, but somewhat justifiable as well I feel.
I can't even be happy about passing the 1/3 of my loss goal and being close to half.. just get so mad..!! Oh and WHY is never ending pasta bowl on at Olive Garden NOW when I can't enjoy it? I wait *all year* for it!
*screams*
/petty whining rant off
*steps down from the soapbox*
Another guy comes in and takes up the other urinal. Guy's Code of Peeing states "DO NOT TALK EXCEPT TO GREET." Well he starts commenting about my lunch choices! I tell him to give me a minute to answer. He looks all insulted as if I had dissed his mom's marinara sauce. We head to the sink at the same time.
So he says "I hear you had a salad again for lunch."
"Every day, Joel."
"Every day?"
"Every day." says I.
"What about stuff you WANT to eat, like fried stuff?"
"Nope." Of course I eat it very rarely, but I'm not going to melt his brain with the details. He has enough trouble focusing on peeing!
"What about steak?"
"I can't eat red meat, Joel."
"You can't?"
"Nope."
"Not even if it's chopped real fine? I like my chopped steak."
"No, Joel, anything red meat. Burger. Steak. Meatballs. I can't eat it."
"What about chicken?"
"As long as it's not fried, Joel." I have to say his name repeatedly because if I don't, he'll forget it. He forgets MINE, and we've been working together for 4 years... and sometimes I'll call him (or try to transfer a customer) and say "Hi Joel" and he'll say "Who?"
We're both done washing our hands. "So you have to eat salad every day, huh."
"No, I choose to, because I like to be able to work for more than fifteen minutes at a time."
"So that's it then," he says.
"What's it?" I'm confused and I just want to get away from him by now.
"That's why you're so fucking miserable all the time."
Oh and Bobby who works for the SAME parent company as mine... but in a different business unit and location (along with a bunch of my friends...!) is probably going to be expected to go to work tomorrow!
Ike's name sake is sorry. You guys be careful, temp!
So, every stinkin' morning, Monday through Friday, I print the same thing, every single morning. Mail has to go out and faxes need to be sent. Every morning I do this, on our good letterhead paper. WHYWHYWHYWHYWHY does my boss feel that that's the perfect time to print all of her freakin' stupid emails and shit at that same particular time on our shared printer???? ARRRRGH
Ahhh, I feel better. :)
