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

Uncomfortable banquet chairs and tables too tightly packed with said uncomfortable chairs.

This thread is devoted to bitching about things that are pissing people off. So I would venture a guess that he's going to ***** about it as long as it's still pissing him off.

how's the toe, thomas?

LAWL - first laugh I've had all day! Thanks guize!

as for the toe, well, I'm just happy it's still attached at this point. Still aches, still purple on one side, but ******* I have other things to go about. Like this person who knows that we've changed pricing on half our line-up, but still feels compelled to email everyone on the executive team asking if a specific price change was a typo. *sigh*. Since it's my project (twice yearly) I get the heat and have to produce the documentation. bitches.

But, on the upside I just finished our state tax return and came in under my estimate, and didn't try any shaky sleight-of-hand, either.

More so, it was capable of creating more than one type of content. This spambot wasn't some self congratulating circle jerk.

Not too serious case of food poisoning today.

And, yes, Thomas - same Indian place I suggested we have our next lunch at.

No you dumbshit I'm not. Just because I think you're worthless and DT sucks, doesn't mean that comment is ******** on anyone. What FLMM was referring to is not giving people a hard time about what their posted gripes. This is a place to vent. My comment did not cross that line. That comment was not aimed solely at you, grow a ******* pair. I'm not at all surprised you can't see the difference between what Douglas said and what I said. I do appreciate you calling me out for the same type of comment that FLMM made. Take your mediocre taste in furniture, unfunny comments, and your less than insightful CE contributions the **** outta SF.

-I'm ******* done with you. I attempted to ignore you, that didn't work. You can have DT, I don't want it. When you post your inane *********** rest of the forum I'm going to call your worthless ass out on it.

1. if thats not called ******** on someone, at least in joking form i dont know what to say really

2. i never said that your comment was aimed solely at me

3. i dont need to grow a pair the ones i have are working just fine. i didnt take any great offense at what you said. i was just trying to josh along with you in yet another wasted attempt to get along with you.

4. i was joshing with my e bro FLMM and you seemed to have butted in on me in a way not too dissimilar from the way FLMM "butted" in on douglas and thomas joshing

5. clearly you arent ignoring me as you seemed to have noticed the only post i ever made about furniture, and picked up on the dozen or so i have made in CE.

6. i really dont think my posts are that unfunny, or lack insight. they cant all be winners, but on the whole i stand by them. and i have no plans on leaving any part of sf, so deal.

7. at least i have the balls to leave my posts up even if they are less than great.

8. i doubt you are done with me you enjoy it too much, but feel free to make these kinds of posts whenever you like. they used to make me cry and pee my pants, but im cool with it now. i have enough confidence in my posting not to worry.

9. you may be a ninja, but my jiu-jitsu is far superior to your kung-fu

My wife had the same dishes, except for the dessert - so I suspect that was the culprit. For now, I have no plans to ever eat anything ever again.

MrG - that is a pain ********** indeed. i think one very patient person should take her under their wing for a predetermined amout of time. if she can get it great. if not she should probably be moved to another position or let go if she is really messing things up

I actually feel bad for her. I came into my gig with absolutely no experience and had to rely a lot on my co-workers for help. 2.5 years later I'm no expert but I'm definitely a lot more capable. Now, during the same time I had another co-worker that would always ask me for help with silly things, drove me crazy. But she was older and years out of the workplace and needed a hand with minor administrative/office application ****.

Anyway, it sounds like she needs a sit down with her boss to discuss how to adjust and training.

To be honest, I do feel bad for her. That said, it's getting to the point where I'm out of patience. I didn't note it in my first post, but I should have: I have a pretty strong frame of reference for her performance. I started my job almost exactly a year before her, and I didn't have any experience when I started (I was fresh out of grad school). She didn't have any experience in this particular field, but she does have some in others that would ostensibly translate well.

The issue is that she just isn't getting it. The project she called about today is very, very similar to one I worked on in my first couple of months on the job. When I did mine I created a format that has been adapted to other applications in our division. She, on the other hand, was confused almost to the point of paralysis.

She has also received considerably more training than me, both in the office and at continuing education opportunities. I also went out of my way to help her out when she started, partially because I felt like there were times during my early months that I wasn't helped or trained very well. She hasn't been left to sink or swim on her own to nearly the degree I was, and this, to me, makes her shortcomings worse.

I think the issue for me is that she hasn't shown much improvement. My experience has been similar to what you describe, Jodum - I've become much more capable as time has passed. Indeed, the fact that I've shown this growth was noted as a positive on my last review. My growth has also meant that I've needed less help from others, even as my assignments become more complicated. She just hasn't shown this type of development. She still doesn't grasp very fundamental things about our job, and every assignment seems like it's the first she's been given.

...

On to other news: I have a big purple blotch on my toe now. FACK. Damn corners.!

I agree completely. This the busiest time of year in my office, so there aren't going to be any major personnel changes if they can be avoided. I'll be curious to see what happens when things ease up in a few months.

How's the toe?

and good luck with the co-worker, hopefully you can at leat manage to just keep away from having to deal with her if possible.
