Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Work Gripes About My First World Problems

1. More than a year ago, we changed buildings. I was given vague and wholly incorrect maps of general areas to assign printers to (we have over 50 network printers). Today, I found out that the Sales department printers were in the Proposals department, and the Proposals department printer was in the Sales department. There is a significant difference in the quality of printers. I guess they didn't want to bother me for fear that I would banish them to the Realm of Wind and Ghosts or something. :th_nervous:

Not sure if I should laugh or despair. Or if I should move the printers. Or what. I'm pretty much at a complete loss for coherent thought.

2. If you demand to make me work on your computer during my lunch break, please don't eat a bag of chips into the phone while I ignore my meal to help you.

3. Coworkers just spent 45 minutes arguing with me about Dubai. Two of them think it's in India (hint: it's not). One of them is a hyper-complainer that fails at calendars. The other misunderstood what the hyper-complainer said and thought Dubai started their work week on Sunday and spent a long time trying to get the point across.

This is the exact opposite of how happy beer makes me. :th_angry2:

The time is currently 2:22pm. Only 3.5 hours to go. this list will hopefully stay at "3."
 


You'd love the fat wench that sits next to me. She wonders why IT nearly refuses to help her, yet she screams at anyone that answers the call center phone for no reason at all. I laugh hysterically, because I know what's going on. Add to it that someone signed her up for phone calls from some company about medicare and the more she yelled about being taken off their call list....the faster the calls came in.

I'm guessing that's a TV show?

Yeah, I already know a lot about someone when they offhandedly mention that they get a ton of spam and they never signed up for anything. They're either a liar or a jerk.

UAE, I would LOVE to go there
 


Oh. to top it off? I split my second pair of pants in two weeks while squatting to carry a 65lb printer. Guess I should stop buying cheap pants. I'm down to one pair, since I lent out my other. So... shopping spree, girlfriend!
