Office Gripe #2

To the person bucking for a promotion-we get it.

Sometimes praise can get to someone's head. So can the thought of a director coming into town. This stuff would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. All week I get to see people like they rolled out of bed, now the big bad director shows up and it's time to dust off your going-out clothes? C'mon now!

And here's where the real gripe kicks in. My teammates and I have been impressed with the way a person from the 'old guard' has treated us. But after receiving a shout-out in our all hands meeting yesterday morning, it's gone to her head. Now she wants to tell me about everything I need to worry about. Relax, lady. I'm an hourly chump, and so far, I've been doing a very good job.

Again, we get it, you're trying to show out. Good for you-now go boss around someone else, please.

Lastly-is there anything more annoying than someone getting fingerprints on your computer screen? Hey nimrod, you can just point, you don't have to smudge your cheetos-infested mitt on my screen.....we're in an office, so it for damn sure ain't an iPad. Damn!! Now I get to go hunt down cleaning supplies.

R.I.P. Nathaniel Hale-your ability to sing a hook will be missed. 41 is way too young to go.
