    I think my biggest pet peeve this week is customers who won't pay their bill. You're supposed to pay us when we come to your house and provide you with a service. They're always mumbling about how they just ran out of checks, husband left with the credit card, *insert bullshit excuse*, can't you just bill me, that's what the other company did? Sure, we can bill you but you need to pay it, your negligence is probably why we were able to buy the other company so cheap!!

    I started a new job last week and one of my mentors is just flat out rude.  I have never been anything other than nice and professional to her and all I get is a glare/snarl every time.  Even if I said something that made a bad first impression I could try to understand, but our first encounter went like this...Me: Hi, my name is KriHer: *slam door in face*I mean seriously WTH?Moral of the story: Be nice to the noobie!!!!

    That one of the members of my disertaiton committee is in Brazil through the spring (without telling anyone) and I have to defend my proposal this fall ..... This leaves me here trying to run around and get approval for video conferences and how to actually do it ... leading me to tears and super frustration Peeve - professors who think of noone but themselves

    My two major pet peeves this week:1) I work for a university (helping students apply to graduate school) and I told my students in advance that I'd be out on medical leave for surgery. I emailed them on Monday saying I was back in the office and please give me 2-3 days to catch up on paperwork and urgent issues before I could address new issues. Which prompted a flood of emails from those students either a) whining about how I didn't respond to their email/phone call last week (um, OUT OF OFFICE), or b) listing their new issue and why it needed addressed RIGHTTHISSECOND. Grrrr.2) On top of playing the worst game of catchup ever, it's also the first week of undergraduate classes. Which means everyone and their mother/grandmother/family pastor has shown up to my office, asking questions that either a) could be answered by themselves if they bothered to look, or b) I'm not even closed to qualified to answer. I actually got yelled at by an 18 year old because I didn't happen to know where his English Lit class was being held. I work in the Science department. And I don't have access to class rosters. And it's not cool to drop F-bombs at me right outside my boss's office. ::headdesk::In spite of all of this, I've managed to successfully restrain myself from throwing staplers and tape dispensers at people all week. I need a mojito.ps. rickylee - I think you need a martini. Chocolate peppermint martini. I think we should kick out the boys and have martinis tomorrow night. :)

    @ rickylee - Um, no...he failed to mention that one. LOL...are you doing to/from or just picking us up on Labor Day? Because our flight out to CO on Thurs is at, like, 6:30am. Ugh. Whoever drives us gets a hell of a thank you gift. @buttons - If you're in South Florida, it's game on.

    Unfortunately, South Florida is a bit of a hike from Connecticut. lolI'm furiously texting my best friend with the suggestion that there should be martinis when I come over tomorrow night.

    My pet peeve is the first week of undergraduate classes. I am one. And I am dying. Thank you teachers for failing to email us about the 99kajillion things we were/are supposed to do this week. Also, thanks for dropping this giant "oh-btw-next-semester-is-going-to-cost-you-your-first-born" bomb on us smack in the middle of the second most stressful week of the year. Appreciated, not.
