thanks
ps. also not everything you say has to be witty, again it's not compulsory. might be worth just going over in your head the things you're about to say too, you know, is it really that funny? will people roll about laughing? here's a simple rule - "if in doubt, leave it out"

I know you said you would be 'making up the hours' that you are away at your classes, rather than giving up a day's pay as I have been. I can't help but notice, YOU ARE NOT MAKING UP THE HOURS. I like you but I fear I am not going to be able to quell my resentment that you are NOT MAKING UP THE HOURS.
That is all,

Such as: an argument with an annoying manager known (but not to his face) as "ginger tosser". He said: when you send a copy of our price list, you should send the PDF version and not the Word version, so that they can't change it at the other end.
I said: Yes, very sensible, although of course it only matters when you email it - if you're faxing it there's no difference.
But this tosser insisted that there was a difference between faxing a Word document and a PDF, and that if you faxed a Word document to someone they would be able to edit it after receipt. Tosser.

I did say: "if you like, I can fax you a Word document and you can *show me* how to edit it afterwards." His reply was just: "I know you can"
(I did, later, bring this up again in front of my boss and his boss, knowing that my boss, at least, would treat him with laughter and derision)

Anyway, J who sits right opposite me, if you want to know if a job is done just ask me instead of emailing me and CCing it to everyone who doesn't give a shit. I've taken to hitting "Reply to all" and signing off with "Gerry, 5 feet from J..."

Why is it pointless confronting her yourself? Is she a difficult character?

archel: it's definitely her job. "pointless" - I get the feeling that I would be ignored whereas a manager wouldn't be.

i work with a dire, racist new zealander; it was pointed out that when our cuntwit colleague ****** leaves i will be the only male in the department. and she cam back 'more like the only girl', presumably because of my slender build and dynamic cheekbones and non-kiwi ways.

So part of my job is posting finished real estate transactions on a dry-erase board for everyone to see. I do it after I have reviewed the contracts and approved the sale, but some people CAN'T FUCKING WAIT for me to approve the sales, so they write it on the board themselves, which they're not supposed to do.
So this morning, I saw this one sale on the board written in red ink. I promptly erased it, expecting the lady to come in and complain, at which point I would explain to her that I write the names on the board, not her.
Five minutes ago, in she comes.
Her: "Did you erase 999 Fuckmyass Rd. from the board?!"
Me: "Yes, I did. My boss told me that we don't write sales on the board until he and I approve them."
Her: "Well, don't ever do that again. I write my sales in Red on the board, because it symbolizes the blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Without Him, none of us would be able to sell real estate."
Me: *stunned*
