Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

Now let me share some wisdom with you. If the average line employee were naturally hard working, relibable, able to problem solve, had the best interest of the organization at heart...would manager type folks be needed nearly so badly and get paid as much? There's a reason most people are line employees and relatively few are management.

This is ******* ridiculous.
I don't know what you do so I don't know the relevance of ERP to vacation scheduling, unless your job is part of some critical manufacturing assembly line or something, and even then I would question an overreliance on ERP if you're scheduling 250 people's vaca time on it... but **** all that. You should have managers that manage their teams' vacation schedules. What a marsupialed state of affairs.

Priceless.

Also, he must figure people only read one forum or another as he's not doing his stupid abbrev. thing here.

No, I realise. Big ******* Deal! First one didn't post within a certain time frame so I thought I it wasn't sent. As I do not spend my life on this and am neither hypercritical nor pedantic- apparently a requirement to be a member of the post police-I am not fastidious about each chosen word or phrase.  Furthermore, I am not paranoid about minor details of my, nor anyone's missives including  from what age my friend rode his bike nor any other specific details. The point was that no matter how accompished or how cautious, a rider can go down and the results are usually harsh, thus the pleading by wives to quit and how one responds. Your obsession over my use of abbreviations (even though you, and most others use them as well as acronyms) and minute, inconsequential details of writing is quite revealing, as is your scatalogical and quite predictable response to my explanation of certain of my statements and peaceful offer of a cessation of the examination and debate of minutiae.

As to "ward" yes, still in use and interchangeable with "unit". Yes, there is often a sole nurse on duty in our ward,  having support of the nursing (nurses' station as you insist, although the common term as used in this, and most hospitals is:nurse's station) nearby. Oncological care rarely requires  numerous personnel being in attendance. Why you insist in such disbelief as to my profession is quizical, although your reactions fit a certain psychological profile, on which I will neither comment nor speculate so as not to be accussed of claiming to being a Psychologist, with the usual repercussions.

So I finally got to run to the bank today.
I was filling out my deposit slip at the little kiosk up front, you know, the one with today's date in little standup plaques on it. There is a security guard who sits behind it, mostly just greeting people, not sure if he's armed; I guess it's just an armed theft deterrent? Anyways, as I'm filling out the ticket for these pretty sizeable deposits, I get the uncomfortable feeling he's leaning in to see what I'm writing. I ignore this, just thinking I'll get out quickly.
As I finish, he says, "just another day, right? a good day. do you know what i would do with $XXthousand dollars?" I'm taken aback, as not only was he looking, but now he wants to talk about the exact size of my deposit? Now I'm feeling unsafe. He goes on to tell some story about how he would go back to his homeland and buy a bunch of land and stuff. WTF am I supposed to say to that? Now the size of my deposit is public knowledge to everyone just standing around the bank.
As I leave he says "Have a nice day! Maybe I'll see you around."
WTF? WTF? WTF?
I mean the guy was friendly but what he said was really inappropriate and could even be construed as threatening. I would call and report it to the bank but I also feel there's a good possibility he's just some poor schmo making a few bucks an hour and trying to be friendly in his way and I don't want to get him fired.
Still, NOT COOL.

"the study of or preoccupation with excrement or obscenity",  and in my haste I mistyped the subject word and you did not fail to renew your focus on such minutiae. Therefore, again, your response illustrates my point. Therefore: Q.E.D. As to my other posts, as well as anyone questioning my authenticity, I only address such because the veracity of any other comment I happen to post has become fodder for excoriation. To pre-empt your expected remark, the intended denotation of such is not the removal of epidermis, but its alternate meaning: to denounce or berate.
As to the staffing of healthcare facilities, you made a simple "location" comment, (which, by the way, is an obscure reference likely understood by most medical staff) the object of your ridicule. Again, why not just leave it all alone?

Why when arguing on the internet people feel the need to use such lofty diction?

They block urban dictionary at work. They consider it "tasteless".
