WHERE IS EVERYONE?

dmiller9274 · May 2012

Seriously, I'm stuck at work for another hour or so, let's chat. Or we can biiiitch about stuff, talk shiiiiit about people, you know...whatevs.

I just passed some guy in the hall and he said "hey, how's Dara today?" I fuuuucking hate when people say that. Why not just ask "how are you?"

dmiller9274 · May 2012

I wasn't planning on leaving early, but I hear that traffic is already starting to get bad so I want out as soon as possible!

[Deleted User] · May 2012

I have a half-hour left, then I'm going home and taking a nap.

So a CW here sent out a teamwide email telling everyone this was her last day. This resulted in mass emails about how we would all miss her and good luck in future endeavors. I have absolutely no idea who this chick is. Either she just started and was immediately loved by all, or she's been here for awhile and I never knew.

This also sparked an irritation - I effing hate when people hit "reply all." It's like a one-upping contest of who can be the wittiest or smartest in their responses and banter that does nothing but waste time for those not involved.

Hi, Im here, I normally work 10-7 but today Im working 8-5, so kinda getting off early.

I am covering the boss's assistant today, so able to be on all day.

I am waiting for H to get home so we can go down to the Cape. I can't wait to get out of Boston, but not looking forward to the nightmare my uncle has left the house in.

I took Kieran with me to get a pedicure today, and I was worried he would be a hot mess. Luckily, he was a little charmer. I can;'t say the same for the woman who brought her two older kids (4-5) and let them run all over the place while she got a mani, pedi and her brows waxed. Note to self - once K is walking, do not bring him to the salon while I get all my work done.

Speaking of work, Ben's co-worker is pregnant. She wants to keep it a secret from their supervisor as long as she can I guess, so Ben and a couple other of the CSRs have been sworn to secrecy.

Anyway I guess she emailed HR to inquire about the dress code for maternity and the HR person then emailed her supervisor. She was PISSED.

Good Afternoon!

I've just finished making Special k bars, am making up my grocery list for tomorrow, and am contemplating where there is anything else I can cook or bake today just to get it done before Sunday's party.

Sesh, I hate reply all emails! Our work requires us to do "fun" events in each of our departments. The company gives each department $300 per person to spend on fun outings that we get to leave work (still get paid) and have fun together as a group. My boss sent out an email asking for suggestions on events and because I like to keep count of things, it resulted in 243 replies back and forth. I don't have time to give a shiiit about all those emails.

I would be pissed. My old boss told a bunch of people from other departments before I was telling people. I was pissed.

LetsHikeToday · May 2012

Sesh- That happened through our WHOLE COUNTY e-mail system when I taught. Somehow, someone accidentally was able to e-mail the whole county (100 schools of teachers/staff) and idiots were replying all for fun. Some got in trouble.

Alli, is your uncle still squatting at your families house? No luck getting rid of him?

LOL - believe me, that was something that crossed my mind yesterday when he was telling me about it. At any rate, she is really pissed that the HR person blew the whistle on her before she was ready to tell her supervisor. Yikes. Isn't HR like, confidential or something?

<div>That's what I thought too. I thought the whole point was so you could talk to someone who wasn't your boss.</div>

dmiller9274 · May 2012

I replied to a post of FB basically calling Michaels cousin irresponsible and trashy. I expected a little fall out from it, but was prepared. She responded "I totally agree, Dara!" uhm, maybe I should have added ignorant to the list!

abbyizzymommy · May 2012

Exactly, HR can probably get in major trouble for this if she wants to pursue it. There is strict confidentiality between HR and employees, not to mention, Pregnancy is medical, therefore isnt it a HIPPA (sp?) violation too???

jcg98 · May 2012

We're going to Sheetz! I wish NJ would get Sheetz. But then it wouldn't be as big a deal when we visit Pitt. First world problems. That's all I got.

lbarr088 · May 2012

I'm bored. I'd leave early but there is just a chance that something will come up as soon as I walk out of the building so I am hunkered down at my desk until 4:30.

[Deleted User] · May 2012

Did she ask HR not to tell anyone? For all they knew, she had already told people. I don't get her being pissed unless they specifically went against her wishes of remaining confidential.

Crap, dmills. 243 emails would piss me off. I was debating sending out my own email about how annoying their "reply alls" were and that some of us had work to do, but I'm already seen as the office introvert (read: biiiitch) so I decided not to. Luckily, another CW did it for me a few minutes later.

This made me smile.

To me she secretly wanted to be found out or you wouldnt tell anyone in the first place. Let alone ask a question like that.

I'm here, I have to close today, so that means I get to take my 3 hours next week sometime, I think it will be next Friday! Just want to get home, so my yoga and get this party started!

Get out of here. I want an MTO and friez right now

I would go crazy with that many emails. I just go on a deleting spree once I see everything filling up.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · May 2012

Most of the emails are legit junk. I usually clear a couple thousand out every 4-5 months, lol.

Maybe the pregnant girl was asking becuase she wanted to wear sneakers or something when her feet swell?

I was just getting ready to say this. Even the emails that are just reference stuff that I move into folders, I still click through just so they don't show as unread. I can't stand to have them hanging out there.

Ah that could be one thing I guess.

Also I know at the bank, women are required to wear hose to work. Even if it's under pants. Maybe she wants an exception to that, lol.

[QUOTE]I'm here. Having a draggy type of day at work. My plan for the evening is to go almost straight to bed since I'm getting up at 2 a.m. By the way, should anyone here see me tomorrow , don't judge me for looking like crap. Especially if, after getting up at 2 a.m., I've been driving for 4.5 hours.

I just had an anxiety attack just reading that.

I hate letting my email go over one page (25 emails.)

ErinG93 · May 2012

I've got five hours left at work.

I too can't stand when my emails are marked unread. I have to at least click each email open before archiving it.

cheeseandrice · May 2012

I think I'm leaving at 3. I mean, I probably should, since I've done all of an hour's worth of work today. The last hour or so has been spent watching videos on cloth diapering. I'm totally gung-ho about it now. ha
