What's upsetting you today? - Page 473

A cow orker with a tendency to say completely inappropriate things. I can hang with the big dogs, but when this person starts also snapping at me and others, and actually whispers to the higher-ups that some of us are not pulling our weight when everyone knows the opposite is the case...I wonder if it's time to file a report. I would not be the first or last to do so in this case. There is too much back-stabbing going on, and I feel a need to CMA.

Sad it should come to that, but what would you think about racial comments (it works both ways) and sexist comments? I can play the game too, but when this person THEN goes running around badmouthing others with his own unwarranted and made-up allegations (again, not just me, I've heard about these things since I've been here but never made it my business until it became my business) why shouldn't I make a report? Document, document, document.

This job is stressful enough with the understaffing. Certainly stressful enough without people saying mean things and then shooting arrows at your back. I guess I need to grow a spine and report it.

Report it.

If you don't report it, it didn't happen.

DanaC · 08-10-2011, 12:49 PM

Seconded.

Thirded

I am really irritated to the point of rage today. As some of you may recall, I'm trying to get off disability. Well, first the lady from voc-rehab told me that due to budget cuts, I have been put on a waiting list, and she has no idea when my name will come up, if ever. So, then I noticed an announcement for a job assistance program for the 55+ crowd, and I called them. Due to budget cuts, they will put me on a waiting list, and they have no idea when my name will come up - if ever.

Is there an echo in here?

So here we are with the economy straining at the leash to jump into another major recession and all state and federal job assistance programs have been cut, and stuff like food stamps and housing are next up on the block. Thank you ever so much Tea Bag assholes!

I finally go to the dentist tomorrow to have at least one tooth pulled. My teeth are in terrible shape because I couldn't afford to go the dentist. Now I have discovered a low income dental clinic which is good, but I think every tooth in the left side of my mouth is probably a goner. I wonder how many they can pull at one time.

monster · 08-15-2011, 08:52 AM

oh poor Sam

infinite monkey · 08-15-2011, 08:52 AM

I second that. Teeth. What a pain in the mouth!

kerosene · 08-15-2011, 01:54 PM

I am sorry, Sam! I have the same problem. Left side a disaster with one or two teeth that probably need yanked out. I hope you are able to salvage your teeth and that it isn't too painful for you.

SamIam · 08-15-2011, 02:51 PM

Thanks, everyone! I have a question about this entire procedure, but I don't think it belongs here - maybe Health?

My audio card completely bit the dust this afternoon. I have a script coming tomorrow. Fuckity fuck.

Do you have, like, an old Fostex 4-track casette recorder in the back of your closet?

Clodfobble · 08-17-2011, 06:29 PM

I have a G3 Mac from 1998. Which is most likely what I'll be using until I get my laptop fixed.

Big Sarge · 08-19-2011, 10:19 PM

Sam, I'll be praying for you. The whole situation sucks. If it gets too bad, you can come live at the old sewage lagoon with me.

Now here's my crap for the day. We had a tough court (heavy docket). A man scheduled for trial on public drunkeness came to court intoxicated. Really you say? Well that was the small part. What capped it off the drunk SOB came over to me and started rubbing my belly. In what little bit of that pickled would he ever think it is ok to come to court drunk and rub on the police chief's belly.

Yes there was one hell of a fight! Turns out the bastard had 3 knives on him. Yes he is still alive. He'll make an appearance before the judge on Monday

Lola Bunny · 08-19-2011, 11:29 PM

Are you okay, Sarge? You weren't cut, were you? Btw, I hope you have some sense of humor at the moment, but I got a hilarious image while reading your post. Imagine a drunkard walking over to rub your tummy!
