    Nothing says stress like.....

    Planning at noon what you are going to drink when you get home.:cheers:

    I swear I think working with women who are under the age of 30 is the most stressful part of my job!

    You leave it until noon??? You must be more organized and plan before you leave for work in the morning so there's enough "cold ones" in the fridge!!! You can also try a little Bailey's in your afternoon coffee so you make it through the day.:)

    Seriously, the office is a mess...people talking about people CONSTANTLY. We have early 20 somethings working with people in their late 40's. So the 20 somethings like to start a chart and then put it back so they can take ther beloved break. Even though we have like 6 charts that need to be worked up. Its annoying...I rarely take a break...by the time it slows down enough its 4pm and I leave at 5pm..so it just doesnt make much sense to me to take one then.
    I have somethings to take care of housing inspection, husband reenlisting in the Army and being promoted, Jonah is sick...and Im told that I may not be able to have time off. Ummmmmmmmmmm wow.

    So anyways....today, I have the captain morgans sitting out on the counter...easy reach when I get home tonight

    You could start smoking. Whenever I worked with smokers, they always seemed to get their 15 minute breaks every morning and afternoon. I figured out one day that I should either get paid extra for all those breaks I'm not taking, or just get to leave two and a half hours early on Friday. It didn't happen.
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    I know what you are saying.

    Lately I have been working with a lot of individuals on their services. I have had a lot of challenges with people in their 50s and 60s with two areas. The first is they never answer emails or telephone calls. The second is when you do get a hold of them, they phone me every day with the same problem. You give them the solution that they forgot the day before. Then they blame you.

    I am a little sick of taking grief for things that are not my fault. I am very patient in my job, work very hard to help everyone out, but some of these guys have to be more respectful.
