Complainy McPrincess is the name I've given a woman who struts around in 7 inch heeled boots, sprays Lysol every time I sneeze, has asked for a raise at least 5 times since she's started about 7 months ago but, even though she only has 250 work orders. The top amount of work orders one person is supposed to have is 300. I've consistently have had ( Read more... )

A new girl started on Wednesday. On Thursday me and two other co-workers were on the bus on the way home like usual. The bus was crowded and we were in the back when another car hit the bus. The bus driver got out and had a conversation with the woman who hit the bus. They both turn a corner (out of the heavy traffic of Stewart Ave. The woman who ( Read more... )

I have a cousin who I have recently reconnected with via Facebook. She posts a lot of pictures. One by one. She apparently does not know how to make an album or thinks everybody wants to see millions of pictures of people they do not know. I'm only exaggerating a little ( Read more... )

Of everyone who got fired-- 12 at last count-- George was the first to be re-hired.

Always when I wrote before, I wrote in spiral notebooks (except when I did it at work at WFS Financial many, many moons ago. There I stapled my allotted scrap paper into little booklets) in sloppy cursive and then transferred that into Word. I had hoped to skip the handwritten part this time around and type directly into the computer ( Read more... )

Tried to make money selling jewelry. Found that I can make a few dollars but not enough. I make just enough to pay for the hobby plus maybe my monthly beer bill. I did an intense round of resume sending and on-line application filling immediately after being fired but laid off of that when I decided to see if I could sell jewelry ( Read more... )

New York in the '50s looks exactly like NY now except everyone was much better dressed. Even the poor people in dirty clothes have nicer dirty clothes than the poor people today.

The IT woman is stuffing envelopes. The Big Kahuna went to the second site to complain about not having IT at the main office for a problem they were having over there. Head Mailroom Guy (who, along with Tom Terrific runs the second site) told him, "You shouldn't have fired everybody then." He did it in front of everybody. Even the temps. That's ( Read more... )
