I actually just let it go. Partly because I realized within my first day or so that she pulls shit like this on everyone (and thus won't single me out for being "incompetent"), and partly because I didn't want to get into a "No you didn't"/"Yes I did" argument that I would lose for no good reason. My supervisor would remember the argument as a mark against me far more than she would remember me "neglecting" to bring an issue to her attention.
My first instinct, though, was to stare her dead in the eyes and sing, Rebecca Black-style, "FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN"

Ugh. When we are discussing a thing, sure, lets all stand around while we talk specifics. Once we've sorted that out, let me get back to my goddamn work. Dont stand there shaking your head and rolling your eyes and going "man, damn thing we really [blah blah stopped listening to you about 10 minutes ago you boring tit]" about nothing in particular because I DONT CARE ANYMORE GO AWAY.

surprise surprise, idiot boss, the girl you hired not even 3 months ago, who you 'jokingly' described as so 'defeated-looking' that she would be 'perfect' for our company is now constantly calling in sick/not showing up/asking for time off/turning up late.
oh and NOW you're considering my blog idea bc your clueless 'techy' friend said it sounded good!

DEAR SLURPY CO-WORKER: people can hear you slurping your tea and coffee and wetly eating biscuits from 1000000 miles away, STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! It is toe-curlingly gross! Argh!
It also makes me paranoid that I could slurp too so I now SIP my coffee when in fact I need it so much I would prefer it intravenously (ok that's a lie, that would also be horrid but... whatever).

so some guys at work fire up Quake nearly everyday at lunch. it's generally pretty amusing cuz they're not really the gamer types at all but they know Quake deathmatch backwards and forwards after years of the same routine. the other day one guy (who's 60+) started saying "UNDERDAAAAWG" or "I'M THE WINNER" seemingly after every kill. went from lol to PLZ STFU pretty quickly. lot of annoyed mumbling in surrounding cubicles where the only the thing i could make out was "ajsdhf jsnnf a nf underdog asj sahhs".

So the helpdesk TL comes up and starts off with "so you know how X is going on a month's leave from next week..."
- I'm the one who covers a large chunk of X's job when he's away- no, I wasnt aware of this months leave because no one tells me anything grr- TL dude was as annoyed as I was that I didnt know- I generally like my job but this place has the orginsational skills of a... bag of disorganised rats.

had a bake morning for charity
One coworker didn't bake anything, so went down and bought a load of cakes at the local shop
Paid for it out of communal tea kitty, which is now empty
Doesn't see a problem

Okay, nobody particularly stupid or annoying. But 5(!) straight people have just made popcorn in the microwave and it smells AWFUL in here.

I'm getting tired of newspeak in my place. Things get used and become more and more popular, right now it is "moving forward" bleugh and "starter for ten" eugh.Can we not just speak plainly, and jettison the catchphrases! Please folks?

some shithead in here came up to me and asked if i could mail out a package for her, i told her it needed to go to the post office because it costs too much. she was all "really"? I put it on the scale and it blew the needle off the charts. "DO YOU SEE NOW SHIT HEAD!"

The phrase Starter for Ten is used when introducing a new strategy, a plan, the beginning of a project. For example "so, as a starter for ten, here are the new audit plans" It doesn't even make sense. It is annoying as fuck.

It snowballs in our place, one douche uses it and then slowly it creeps round and becomes a common term. It sits next to "blue sky thinking" and more recently "thinking outside of the box"
Fuck the box, I'll get out of the box, crush the box, then put the box inside me, yeah, how'd you like that now you corporate fucks!
Errrr, rant over.
