I wondered about that. Mine are "ivory" (very hard plastic). I'm glad he didn't eat mine. Did you know that it is possible to slam a domino down on the table so hard it will break. I didn't until it happened to me. Really.

My schnauzer ate a whole large bag of hershey's kisses, wrappers and all. I expected her to be really sick, or worse. Other than shitting foil for two days and being out a bag of candy... no harm done.

Capn - something i can help with at least!

Check your browser when watching the clip.
Cut and paste the numbers AFTER the equals sign.
Insert as follows, but using the usual square brackets, not the curly ones:
{youtube}your pasted details{/youtube}

Good luck

Remember Hacky McCoughALot? (Who, by the way, coughs her freaking head off all day every day but didn't even clear her throat in our all day meeting on Friday...methinks it's a form of hypochondria or Munchhausen.)

She sent the following email to the suite:

Who ever put in the cup of coffee to heat up, will you please now clean up the mess that was left in the microwave?

Others would also like to use it


Not too bad, huh? Though, would it have been nicer to ask around, or to embarrass someone who made a mistake? I didn't do it on purpose...for god's sake I had a big system error this morning which still isn't fixed and it's been nuts. The new girl(yeah me), who doesn't fit in anyway, is now a dumbass coffee-leaver.

Her charming personality gives light to the fact that she is a bitch, though I have given the benefit of the doubt.

A partial definition of class is to not go out of your way to make others uncomfortable.

People suck. Doesn't matter where you go.

One of my dogs ate a whole pizza off the counter and left the box, somehow he opened it and after removing the pizza the box fell shut as if it had never been opened. So when we opened the recently purchased pizza box and there wasn't one, we thought it was a joke by a family member. He had an upset stomach for a few days.

@Shawnee -- I recommend passiveaggressivenotes.com for some laughs to get your mind off of Ms. Hacky.

heeheee...since the email was sent to the whole suite, I replied to all with an innocent unless you know me passive aggressive as well response.

I said "Oh, sorry, I forgot, didn't mean to cause a huge deal."

Then I cleaned it up and replied again "mistake is fixed."

lol...so since then people have been sneaking into my cubie laughing at me...saying she's a stirrer and was prolly kind of testing me to see if I'm wimpy wimpy wimpy.

Lord...how silly in the workplace from an old bat. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal but it did irritate the hell out of me...because it was a bit embarrassing.

People like her...not much you can do about them. *shrugs*

What an unpleasant unwelcome. The silver lining is that you've learned early what to expect--that's not nothing. A gift of advance notice so to speak.

Now, linger no more on such a worthless waste of breath. I know that is much easier to say than do, but it's smart and worthwhile advice nonetheless.





Wait...I was talking about you and your life, right?

Thanks BigV. I was never really upset...it's such a small thing, but I think I am still having some culture shock; as bad as my old job could be I do miss my peoples. My old job was family, albeit a dysfunctional one. And I really do like my new cow orkers...but I keep everything on the down low. They think I'm quiet. I would go so far to say that they think I'm from some small town up north and am country-bumpkinish...which makes me smile. It's good for me career-wise, not saying or doing everything that pops into my head. Maybe at my old job I was too much "me."

Venting here let me get it out, read how silly it sounds, and get over it. I'm learning. :p

Sorry to trip in on people with real problems, but my latest culinary FAIL has upset me. To the extent that I want to bring it into every thread I've read since, so am putting it here (as well as Food & Drink) and taking a step back.
