Sorry your having a crappy day, Lisa.... Here is something for you, just insert the word boss instead of co-worker.




Slap Your Co-Worker Day is Coming!!


Tomorrow is the official Slap Your Irritating Co-workers Holiday: Do you have a co-worker who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't give a d@mn about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS $crew$ up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much b00ty, you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO 0bnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce tomorrow as SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY! There are the rules you must follow:

* You can only slap one person per hour - no more.
* You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day.
* You are allowed to hold someone down as other co-workers take their turns slapping the irritant.
* No we@pons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher.
* CUR$ING IS MANDATORY! After you have slapped the recipient, your "a$$ault" must be followed with something like "cause I'm sick of your $tupid-a$$ always messing up stuff!"

* If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the irritant], you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE! Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of and get to slapping.....and have a great day

lol, thanks Cris that was funny.

I'm not having a crappy day necessarily, just highly irritated.

Just because I am moving on, doesn't mean he (the boss) has any right not to think I am just as trustworthy as before.

I keep getting questioned on very routine things, and the rest of the time I get silent treatment and get the general vibe that I am "in trouble".

irritating, irritating.

In other news, my inspection is Friday. Pending that all goes well, we should be nearing the endzone.

Now this is easier said then done, but try to ignore that crap. It sucks ya gotta go through that. Goes to show ya what kinda man your boss truely is.

Maybe its time to give him a little of his own medicine? I know a person shouldnt always drop to the level of someone like that, but it does provide slight relief for awhile!

Two more days till your house inspection, thats coming quick! Bet your getting pretty pumped about that!!

Good deal on the house Lisa. Hope all goes well with the inspection. Wish I had a magic answer to make the boss behave. Hopefully that smooths out soon.

Indeed. Randy had to explain his mentality in a way I would understand it. His basic explanation was that the boss has essentially martyred himself for creating jobs for so many people, and is getting personally offended when people leave. No doubt, based on what I know about his personality, he is also upset for his own personal reasons. That being there is a pretty good chance he'll lose money in my absence. Two reasons for that. 1) I bring in a good amount of revenue. 2) He'll have to pay up to find the skill necessary to fully replace me in the ways I service this company.

SOoooo.. no worries Sheldon I am already doing things here and there that I know will drive him nuts. I haven't given him any details about the house sale, and I have all but stopped talking to people on a personal level. I am strictly business. Guaranteed its driving him bonkers.

House inspection really did come on quick. It's shocking how quickly this is all moving along lately. I'm excited for the inspection but it makes me nervous too, nothing is set in stone until they sign off on the inspection.

Good lord I would pay good money to see this. Seriously. Part of his problem is that he is a very rich man. No one ever tells him what is up, or how awful and egocentric he can be.

It will, as soon as something else happens that captures his attention. Someone around here has to slip up eventually.

*lightbulb* I think I am going to get a package of french fries and hide them up in one of the ceiling tiles. He has a no food in the office policy (except his office..he can have food of course), and a really sensitive nose.

That ought to keep him busy.

I'm working Saturday but if something comes up and you need extra hands to sort out any issues, I should be free Sunday. You've got my number and I'm up by 6AM on the weekends too, so no worries.

Fresh fish, of course, at least the first few hours......

Thanks Brendan. Actually I think I am going to do my water pump on Saturday. Yay.

I know they say not to burn any bridges but sometimes you just gotta! I would be trying to think of my "Exiting Speech".

So far, I like the fish in the ceiling tiles... over your boss' office.

Nice one Cris. Have to send that around the office tomorrow.
