Flame Free Friday!

Mariah&Steven · July 2009

Go! Keep me entertained.

Mariah&Steven · July 2009

I have my mid-year review today at 10:00. And I just. don't. care. at all.

llc_lauren & chris · July 2009

I feel you on the mid year Mariah, I have mine today too.

The people who work in upper management at my company suck. It got leaked to a few people in my office (including me) who is going to be laid off either today or sometime next week. I really want to tell this person what is going on because they are a friend, but I don't want to get in trouble for telling her. It just ticks me off that her manager knows what's going on and is always whistling and happy as she can even though her employees are getting laid off.

Our company just started doing mid year reviews. Since I changed job positions...I am not sure who will do my review. So they have been putting it off. Either way it doesn't matter to me. We have a salary freeze. *shrug*

I haven't been posting because there is a knottie I would really like to give a piece of mind, and I am usually very nice, I have no idea what's wrong with me.Also, and I am sure I will get flamed for this one, but I really do not like Kate Gosselin. If she weren't such a crazy you know what her husband won't have left her for the whores (?) I don't know, I'm not following their story, but I just really don't like her.I'm off to Louisiana to have lunch with a friend from college. Have a great friday...flame free or not!

Tiffany618 · July 2009

I'm giving blood today at work for the first time in my life... and I really don't want to.

Jay&Marissa · July 2009

Also, and I am sure I will get flamed for this one, but I really do not like Kate GosselinNah

JessAndColton · July 2009

Have fun in Lousiana, Shanda!!! Good luck with your reviews. We have a salary freeze too, which sucks because I would love to make a little extra since I work pretty hard...

I am grateful that my husband has such a well-paying job. I really am. However, his company is really abusing the employees in my opinion. Just because times are bad doesn't mean that a person should have to be into work by 6:30 AM and can't leave until almost twelve hours later. Also, they "saved" money by out-sourcing a lot of work to a foreign country. They have approximately 300 employees doing the work of about 10-15 Americans. They do shoddy work meaning that Bill and his team have to re-work everything they do. However, they got raises (no one in the US got raises), they get to leave every day right at 5:00 PM their time because they get company paid transportation to and from work, AND they get tea service and a tea servant. Bill says they have to bring in their own cups and silverware for coffee. I just have a huge problem with it. He was 45 minutes late meeting me for dinner last night because his boss kept him late for a meeting that should been done by 4:30 (wasn't over until after 6:00). I was sitting in the restaurant with the workers staring at me and probably thinking "she's not married, she's delusional". So, yes, I'm grateful for my husband's job but I don't like his employers very much right now.

It pisses me off that minimum wage is going up and yet people pay doesn't rise with it! I am asking for a raise soon...

callie_knot · July 2009

One of my preschools I teach at sent me an email to "renegotiate" my rate with them for the fall. What??? This one is the furthest drive for me, they never do any of the set-up for my classes (clearing the room, bringing the classes in etc), their teachers disappear as soon as my class starts (which according to state law they are supposed to stay in there to maintain teacher/student ratio) and they are the school I already make the least on for the most work. Guess I need to line another school up for their slot. I hate this.

stephl3055 · July 2009

I would kill for a salary freeze right now. I got my salary cut 5% starting in April and there is no definite answer on if we will ever get it back (I'm not counting on it!). And on top of that, for the month of May they cut our salary an additional 10%, so I was out 15% for the month of May. Plus they are talking about re-aligning our job codes since the company I originally worked for was acquired by another company. So that might mean another pay cut. The thing that really ticks me off is that I was an intern 2 years ago at the company that acquired us, and I made almost this much as an intern as I do now.

1. I deserve a raise and my boss knows it, so she keeps talking about how I am one of her most expensive coaches already... yeah, well I also took your "bad news bears" team from never placing EVER at a meet to winning 4th at state and getting 9.8's and 9.9s!!!! 2. It annoyes me when I have to motivate my personal trainer fiance to get up and go workout with me in the morning... isn't that his job!? 3. I don't want to keep helping my mom at her store anymore. 10 and 11 hour days of coaching and then picture framing and really taking a toll on me. 4. I wish I got to post here more often

juliebug1997 · July 2009

I'll bet Shanda has a bone to pick with Mariah. :-)

Mariah&Steven · July 2009

Julie, I bet it's me, too...

BalletBride620 · July 2009

DH has Toaster Strudels sometimes for breakfast. When I was at the store the other day I bought some to try. I looked in the freezer this morning and they were gone! I guess I should have told him I was trying them out because he ate them all except the 2 I had Monday

Now I'm really contemplating eating the cherry pie I made for dessert last night.

JustinandLindsay2009 · July 2009

A friend of mine and J's found out on Wednesday that her 4 year old son has acute lymphomic lukemia. She is a single mom of two boys and is a nurse. They were scheduled to leave for Disney World next Tuesday but now they can't go because Austin (the boy) is in the hospital and has already started chemo. I am flaming cancer today because it sucks and it's the devil and I hate it!

juliebug1997 · July 2009

Mariah,You're just such a terrible moderator.....Believe me, I could go on.Still feeling better?

JessAndColton · July 2009

Lindsay, OMW! That is HORRIBLE. I am so so so sorry for your friend. I will be keeping them in my prayers. I hate cancer too.

Specifically kid cancer. It's not fair!

Mariah&Steven · July 2009

Lindsay that's so sad

Julie, yes, thank you! So far so good.

untsing · July 2009

I'm finding it harder and harder to be patient with people who complain about their or their spouse's job situation. There are lots of worse situations you could be in.

juliebug1997 · July 2009

Like I said, I'm thankful for his job but I just don't think that employers should treat their employees this way just because they know there's nowhere else to go.

SarahandAlex2010 · July 2009

Agree UNT. But sometimes I always think I have it worse and than I think about it and there are people who have it alot worse than I do. But at the moment...it just seems like I am in the worse possible situation sometimes.

Mariah&Steven · July 2009

Do you really think that after posting and being a regular on the boards that you can get away with posting your wedding business in your sig? No. I don't think so.

juliebug1997 · July 2009

Now I'm really intrigued, Mariah....

cherrrylll · July 2009

Shanda has me curious. Hope it's not me!One of my husband's coworkers was offended that he has a small Filipino flag on his desk that my mom brought him from her last trip. Can we say dumba$$??I've been so tempted all week to email that girl that stood me up and give her a piece of my mind. She never emailed or called me with an apology. You're a grown woman and you think that screwing someone over and then ignoring/avoiding them is the right thing to do? I really hope you don't get any good deals from the knotties here.

kris928 · July 2009

I'm so fed up with my coworker! She's a diva to the max and expects everyone to bend over backwards for her.

stephl3055 · July 2009

I am very thankful for my job and the fact that I have more work than I have time for (aka job security), but when my company posts a $2 billion profit for ONE quarter and I learn that my salary is getting cut the same quarter, that's something I find hard to swallow.

appletango85 · July 2009

While it would be a huge relief, I secretly hope it rains and we can't paint outside this weekend. I just don't look forward to dealing with it.I think it's lame when people vent about all the stuff they have to do and then admit they can't let others help them with some of the wedding things. No one will care if the bows aren't tied the same! I seriously considered taking today off so I could get my homework done and start prepping the house for paint and buying all the stuff we need to do the painting. I decided to save my vacation for wedding things that will need to be done closer to the time.I love that I am helping my parents out by buying the house and they are helping us out by giving it to us for what they owe so we can pay off my credit card debt. They are awesome. Too bad my dad can't stop telling me that they are going to screw me over. Grow up dad!
