I am supposed to be leaving work in 15 minutes

but because of the fuckhead last minute guy (whose secretary happens to conveniently be on vacation), I will be stuck here for most of the day because he and his cohorts in Dallas and Alabama CANNOT GET THEIR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS STUFF IS DUE AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER TWO WEEKS NOW. Instead, they prefer to do it the DAY BEFORE A LONG WEEKEND BECAUSE NONE OF THEM APPARENTLY HAVE LIVES.

I am not pleased. I am also battling bronchitis and consequently VERY ANGRY THAT I HAD TO GET OUT OF BED THIS MORNING, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

Does this happen to any of y'all, or is it just me?

You seem to get bronchitis a lot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 30 December 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

It happens all around.
A friend of mine who works for a bank, ONE WEEK AGO, was told that they have to rejigger some thing before the new year UNDER PENALTY OF LAW, and then when he went to fix the problem, he found that everybody who was actually responsible for the project was on holidays untill after the new year.

did your creepy ilxor excel file tell you that, jaymc?

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

i think it was his creepy excellent memory, tubby

― oops (Oops), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:04 (twenty years ago)

It's actually because I think I may have bronchitis, and yesterday when I did an ILX search for "bronchitis," half the posts were from Luna!

Oops: 1. Jess is right, though, I do have a creepy Excel file with lots of info on ILXors past and present. 2. You're on the "missing" list for our upcoming high-school reunion. FYI.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:08 (twenty years ago)

is #2 a threat?

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

I should be in the creepy ilxor excel file, too. I qualify! Oh, and luna - this happens to other people, too. (Boethius had a lot to say about this kind of stuff. He twirled the Wheel of Fortune long before Vanna White took up the hobby.)

OMG 10 YEARS WE'RE OLD N SHIT.

It always seems that as soon as I think about having to leave and how if I work really fast I'll be able to get out on time, every piece of work has complications and hitches galore. Then is when I realize that frustration may be the most useless emotion.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

it does explain yr ilxor history.

― cancer prone fat guy (dubplatestyle), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

I do get bronchitis a few times a year, this is true. Also, weeble wobble has now decided he's making edits to the fucking document. Oh, and by the way, the Dallas people aren't ready, and their complaint has to be filed in San Francisco, hahahahaha.

FUCK YOU.

THOSE DAMN DALLAS PEOPLE ALWAYS FUCKING UP THE JOHNSON ACCOUNT

― oops (Oops), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

(You laugh, but it's actually someone suing Johnson and Johnson).

I end up having to stay late 'cause of my co-workers' shennanigans quite often.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm gonna kick him in the nuts.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm here for a while yet. I don't care.

I have Aaliyah for company.

I have Napoleon's (ie, the attorney) son, who is sitting in the conference room noisily playing with his gameboy and HE NEEDS TO BLOW HIS FUCKING NOSE.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

i just threw scalding hot coffee on my assistant, to make a point to another guy i work with. the point? i just don't give a fuck.

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

It strikes me the point would be better made if you dumped it on yourself, while yelling, "I just don't give a fuuuuuck!"

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

― oops (Oops), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

Haven't seen you post in awhile, it seems, adam. How's stuff?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

Stuff is good. Aunt Lottie sends her regards.

― [use of street parade as pivotal set piece] (nordicskilla), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

Tell her the medications worked and I said thanks.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I just fell asleep at my desk for a minute.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

STILL NOT DONE.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 30 December 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

because i was fired : (

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

j/k, it's because of "a job well done" : D

― gear (gear), Friday, 30 December 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

A little over one more hour of infernal tedium. Can I make it?

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

Screw it. I'm cracking open the beer.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 December 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

I wish I'd thought of that.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 30 December 2005 23:25 (twenty years ago)

i got to leave a little early today, to come home and find out that a practice test prep diagnostic thing I was supposed to take(lasts 4 hours) and I never did, should have been mailed to Seattle two days ago. oops.

― kingfish holiday travesty (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 30 December 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

i left an hour before I was supposed to. they were letting us go at 3. what the fuck is that? why not just make us stay until 5 then? a half day is fucking 12 to me. I bailed at 2. no-one was really there.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 30 December 2005 23:37 (twenty years ago)

i'm stuck at work till midnight, at the least :-(

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 30 December 2005 23:39 (twenty years ago)

The guy who normally replaces me called in sick. Then the girl who's coming in early (6 pm is early for her because her normal shift is 2200-0600) to replace him called in AT SIX to say she had just dropped her girls off because her daycare (nightcare?) was running late from somewhere. So I'm waiting on her to show up and I've been here since 8:30am, and I'm working tomorrow too from 1030-2230!!! FUCK SHIT.
OH PRAISE GOD SOMEBODY JUST SHOWED UP. SEE YOU LATER.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 30 December 2005 23:39 (twenty years ago)

BECAUSE NONE OF THEM APPARENTLY HAVE LIVES

i hate this shit.

if anyone pulled this on me at my last job i would have killed everyone on the floor. at least your amazing cohorts are in dallas so the scenario of you raging and commiting mass murder is null. drink some tea.

― kephm (kephm), Saturday, 31 December 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

Think that is bad? Try having to stay a second twelve-hour shift because the nimrod that's supposed to relieve you pulled a no call/no show. (Her children's babysitter never showed up, so she just decided to stay home. To make things worse, the patient was one of those people who like to chatter constantly about nothing--and ze had severe Alzheimers, to boot.

It is 9PM! I am at my desk! I am eating a burger! With Friees! And Snow Peas! I am drinking BEER! That I opened with my keyring! No, not a bottle opener on the keyring, the keyring, motherfucker! I AM THE MAN NOW, DAWG!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 31 December 2005 02:19 (twenty years ago)

It's 12 am, and I'm home (I left work at 430) and I got antibiotics, smoked a bowl, and went to the grocery store for champagne and dumplings, and now I'm at home all high and eating glazed walnuts.

I also broke up with my bitchface friend because she is a stupid selfish c*nt.

Thank you, and goodnight.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 31 December 2005 08:08 (twenty years ago)

All's well that ends well?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 31 December 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

More or less, yeah.
