Things That Rightfully or Not Bug Me Showing 1,401-1,450 of 1,934

[Sally, la reina]

I've been wearing these lately:




When I don't wear them the kids say: "Mrs Nolte! Where are your cool boots?"

[Jonathan]

Those really are cool boots, Sally.

[Phil]

How much money?

::considers a stroll down the catwalk::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Stroll might be stretching it. Stagger is more likely.

Nice!

[Kevin]

those are excellent boots sally. i have an eclectic collection of shoes that i wear on a regular basis

[Amy]

Phil, I'll pay the price of a movie ticket, but I do expect a full 90 minutes of entertainment.

[Jim]

Nice boots Mrs. Nolte!

[Cynthia]

Cool boots--those look very comfortable.

[Mary]

Love the detailing and the color on your boots!

That's bullshit. And it's not just bullshit, it's also POOR MANAGEMENT.

A manager should NEVER be saying crap like that. They're just trying to get themselves off the hook with you without standing up to THEIR boss. If they think you "exceed" then they should put that, and have the fight with their boss. Fuckers like that shouldn't be in management.

[Félix]

Human resources professionals have done more to deflate the energies of people in the workforce than any other group. They set the standards for forced distribution to a bastardized normal curve to serve the all-consuming salary budget allowances. Even the six sigma black belts fall for this claptrap.

The active statement is "There is only room for a very small number of high performers around here." This becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mediocrity ensues. Just like in Dilbert's world.

The Twilight forum? There's only one?

I feel really bad complaining about my job after hearing that. I'm experiencing a lot of the same poor management, but luckily the business is very small, so I'm getting dicked around by a much smaller contingent of people than you probably have to put up with, Catherine. If corporations are people, they're all going to hell.

[Janice]

So sorry Catherine. The most important commodity a company has is its employees, yet they treat them like that.

[Cynthia]

"If corporations are people, they're all going to hell."

My favorite comment of the morning.

[Kevin]

six sigma black belt training is just another program so do nothing middle/upper management can put a feather in each other's droopy hat. i've been through the training and most of the time spent in meetings shoulda/coulda been spent doing something actually productive.

i've got your fishbone analysis right here

[Scout]

I'd feel better if the house across the street was for sale and not for rent.

Scout, there is a house across the street from me that has been in foreclosure for over a year. The pr..."

But it's just as likely the buyers could be as crazy as the renters, and they will stick around for a longer time.

[Helena]

I rented for a long time too, just because I moved around so much. I don’t wea.. oh, actually I did wear camo at the time. I didn’t carry a rifle though! Never!

[Emily]

People who don't let go bug me.

I have a friend who had someone dent her car (almost a year ago) when it was parked and they left her a note apologising with all their contact details, and she still complains about it!

Meanwhile I have had two people dent my car when it's been parked and never had a note left, and frankly so what. Annoying for a day or two and then move on! I'm alive, in reasonable health and it's just not that important.

Let it go people, let it go!

[Sally, la reina]

I'm having a hard time joining in on the leap from renters to cammo-wearing rifle bearing folk. Are the two mutually exclusive?

[Sally, la reina]

But I'm letting it go.

[Félix]

Good choice.

[Cheri]

My Gran used to say, "It's not arms and legs". So, if its not a living thing, its not that important. Things can be replaced.

The Mr. says, "Worse things happen at sea" so no matter how bad the situation is, it could be much worse. Ah,the optimists in my life!

Nice :)

Could be just instinct...maybe people are born that way...for survival--something like that.

[Cynthia]

Catherine: I do panic a bit and stock up on:
Coffee
Books
Pet Food
Wine

[Sally, la reina]

I like to panic too.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I love panicing. I rarely do it though.

[Kevin]

^^^ did you spell that right?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

What? Love?

[Cam]

I am not speaking for Kevin - but it looks like panicing is spelled wrong. (could be spelled correctly, but I didn't look it up).

[Sally, la reina]

I'd spell it with a k if given the choice at the chalkboard without magical squiggily red lines to govern my mind.

[Emily]

Like the panicking at the supermarket the day before a public holiday, because we can't possibly last a whole day without the shops open!

[evie]

Enjoy your day off on Thursday Emily

[evie]

I get a bit miffed when some people at work leave their lunch box/plate/bowl "soaking" in the sink.

[Kevin]

not that i am correcting anyone on here for gosh sakes

[janine]

evie is no longer avatarless!

[Jim]

Kevin spotting corrections, evie getting an avatar, what is the world coming to?

[Cynthia]

Crazy.

It is disgusting.

[Scout]

Yep. Twenty years or so ago, I thought nothing of going barefoot into the Zippy store down the road. Then I stepped in a wad of spit. No symptoms yet of worms or worse, but no bare feet beyond my yard since then.

[Scout]

Sick and coughing people in a movie theater bug me.

Thanks! You too :)

They also bug me on a crowded tram/train, I know they shouldn't but I have visions from all the plague movies of their spluttering germs spreading in the air...

[Courtney]

People who drive in the passing lane....GET OVER!

People who blame everyone and everything for their problems.

Walmart when they don't have what I need on my grocery list.

When there is a group of four people and there is more than one conversation going on. REALLY! I cannot pay attention to more than one conversation at a time. I might miss something.

People who always get a bail out instead of getting off their lazy asses and getting for themselves.

[Jim]

Welcome to TC Cortney - No weak sauce there.

[Cam]

I think it's the "shoes" thread...but I'm not sure.

[Emily]

Irrational hysterical people who don't listen bug me, and I'm not sure that they shouldn't...
