The Official Minor Rant Thread

[xpaeanx]

This is a thread for all those minor rants you just want to get off your chest, but they dont' really deserve a thread of their own.

I'll start.

1) Boss called me this morning at like 9:10, so I'm talking to him ON THE PHONE. He asked if I got the message he left on my voicemail, I told him I hadn't checked yet, as I was still going through my whole morning routine(I only start at 9, so I have emails to read, files to look through, notes from friday on what still needs to be etc...). I asked him if he could just tell me what he said in the voicemail, he said, "no listen to it." and hung up.

well, I listen to it... here's the message. "Something came up with family, I can't make my first appoitment, please cancel it and then call me back."

So he couldn't just SAY THAT WHEN I WAS ALREADY ON THE PHONE!!! REALLY!?!?!?!?!?! I had to log into my voicemail and wade through other messages JUST to hear that???? which he could have told me in 2 seconds????

2) I called the first appt, they're not our clients really... they're clients of the company whose rep left(bascially, he doesn't really know these people and was just going to their house to help them sign change of ben forms--nothing major at all doesn't even need an appt). Well, I call them to tell them that and that I'll send them the forms prefilled out in the mail, all they have to do is sign and send them back. Well, the woman was being all nosey and trying asking ten different ways what came up. Now, she's like an 80 yr old woman, and I know they're always nosey bc they sit around their house all day and basically want to live in a soap opera...

BUT, I'm one of those people who really really likes to keep my private life... well private. So this just annoyed the hell out of me. And then the fact that even after I told her, I don't know, I was just left a message saying x... she KEPT ASKING! Look, it's none of your business. All you need to know is that no matter he will not be showing up at your house, so you can continue doing the same routine you do everyday.

3) I use a sugar scrub in the shower everyday... I sliced my finger on the lid.


ok, well that's about it for now...

Hmmm good idea.

Here's mine:

I'm really annoyed that I always am willing to work for people at a moment's notice if something comes up and they can't make it in when they're scheduled. But then when I need like 4 hours of a shift covered, no one is willing. No one. But I don't want to stop picking up people's hours because I like money.

My mini rant of the day: I'm super annoyed with my lack of being able to let go lately. I cannot kick myself in the butt and move on with my life. I need someone to do it for me.

 

[xpaeanx]

wc, that sucks

you would think there would be more people who also like money enough to pick up a few extra hours.

My rant for the morning - the ferrets are MY pets. MY responsibility. Ok, Rascal is supposed to be mine and my brothers, but really I do everything. So this morning, I wake up (albeit late at 11am) and go downstairs to give Rascal his meds and feed the boys. As I always do. Filling up their water bottle, everybody does that, cause they go through water like nothing here (even though they have 2 bottles, about 24oz total, they still need to be filled daily). So I go downstairs, medicate Rascal, go to fill up their food... and my dad has already done it. Normally, this would not be a problem. Other than the fact that I have TOLD my dad they are only to get 1/2 per day between the 2 bowls (this is more than they need with the EVO) and my dad always fills both bowls to the rim. So they get 1 1/2 cups of food today. Usually not a problem, right? Well... Rogue is fat. He is the reason they only get a certain amount of food a day... because he WILL eat all the food.

ETA: Here is another one from a few days ago. My mom and I were going to make Easter cupcakes, so we went to a bulk food store to get all the stuff needed, one thing being confectioner's sugar. We left all the ingredients in bags on the floor in the kitchen. Friday morning, when I was just starting to wake up, I hear jingles. I figure ok, somebody let the ferrets out to run around. Normal occurrence here, everybody loves them and will let them run around if they are awake and looking to come out. Well, about 5 minutes later I hear my dad yell "JESS! Come see what YOUR Renegade did!" So I go downstairs, and sure enough, renegade got into the bag of confectioner's sugar, made a whole and had some sugar everywhere. My dad was LIVID, and I am not sure what he wanted me to do... but he wanted me to do something. All I do is look at him and say "why was Renegade not being watched? He must have been in the kitchen (where no pets are allowed, especially not Renegade cause he counter surfs) for a good 5 minutes atleast to do this". Then my dad started yelling at me that I should have been watching my ferret Yah, cause I took them out, right? and I was awake when it happened

[Beanie]

I have jury duty this week.

 

[Brattina88]

I almost got sent home from work today because I went in and we were WAY overstaffed Which I normally wouldn't care much about, but I told them last week that we were going to be way overstaffed, and teachers would have to get sent home... and they argued with me and tried to make me sound stupid.
I think I spent maybe an hour with my own children today. Granted there were only 5, but to be able to stay on the clock and had to work here and there and everywhere. Annoying


I like this thread hehe

[HayleyMarie]

Ummm.. My jaw hurts because of my wisdome teeth, but Good news I get them taken out on Friday! Wish me luck!

 

[CharlieDog]

I think I have a boxers break in my hand. I cut my finger in the beer cooler stocking crap tonight and it stings. We've been completely and totally understaffed at work for MONTHS now, and every time we get a bad score on on store evals its somehow my fault, not the fact that we don't have enough people on any shift.

Steven had to go to the ER for SOMETHING Friday, we spent 7 hours there and their best guess was he torn is diaphragm muscle somehow. Really. Wow. An Xray, bloodwork and two ultrasounds later and thats the only thing you can tell us? WTF.

And I've been getting crappy hours lately and we're almost but not quite short this month. Which sucks ass.

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

I've had hostesses flake out and leads turn up as dead ends which killed my March numbers. Oh, and it's freaking 90 degrees outside on school days and the campus thinks it's a good idea to have us nearly running between classes to get there on time
