Golf... the sport I hate to love and love to hate.
Today is our annual staff meeting. We're having it at the new Firkin pub that opened next door and then afterward it's open bar. I'm not sure what they are doing about food, hopefully we can just order from the menu so I can eat wings until I explode.
Final tally...
- 3 pints of Guinness
- about a dozen wings
- 5 large chicken fingers
- 5 sliders
I probably could have eaten more but the 3rd pint of Guinness really filled me up. Luckily I got a bunch to go. The only bad thing is that I have stuff to do this weekend so I couldn't stay and drink on the company dollar all night (free beer->me getting hammered->hangover->saturday wasted).
proko, sounds like you work with a douche bag. Where do you work?
I'm sure that I'm not 100% on the dot 15 minutes, but who is?
My Grandfather would be. Or more accurately, he would drink a cup of hot water, and be done his break in 5 minutes. He would regularly show up early, and be finished the days work 3 hours early. When a party was held because he had worked there for 25(?) years, he showed up, said "it seems like yesterday", referring to when he started, and went back to work.
But it sucks that mangement doesn't have your back. That can really poison a workplace.
Some fuck at work filed a complaint with the managers that I "take too long on breaks." It came back to me today, so that was a remarkable turn-around, being that my supervisor said that the complaint was registered today. I was only working with one person all day, so that pretty much narrow's it down. Of course, they don't dare accuse me of taking too long on my lunches, as there's a time clock to verify that they're full of shit.
So far as I'm concerned, this shouldn't have even come back to me. I talked with a manager today about it, and asked them upon what it was predicated. Basically they just said that I took too long on my breaks. So, they didn't time me, or have any photographic evidence of anything. Basically, you can get someone in shit for saying "they took too long on their breaks." And these are home depot employees we're talking about here. Lifers, so to speak. So they're not going to ask the obvious question "oh yeah? based on what." They'll say "omg, I heard that too! he's such an asshole."
Tomorrow, I am firing a warning shot over the bow. I have purchased a small stop watch, and will visibly start it when this person goes on their break. Basically to say "yeah, I'm watching you too, bitch."

Did you ever do anything about your floor-pissing roommate?
If she has been there for a long time and you are new, this is a battle you can't win.
Just do your job. If it's a low paying job, you can be replaced in less than 2 mins.
I still have a lot of his stuff, actually. A few x-box controllers, and fallout 3, most notably. He left about 2 months before he was scheduled to. I count this as a success. Even if the whole thing was a bit highschool.
I hate non metric system.
Prok,
Any update? You have a history of planning passive-aggressive confrontations and then not actually doing anything. Your roommate urinated on your floor, you got pissed, told the internet your plans for vengeance, and then did nothing. Keeping some of his trash left behind after he moved out early to get away from you is not a victory. Even Brian Boitano follows through when he makes a plan. You are lamer than a male figure skater.
