Fancy a bitch or a moan?

[Animal Mother]

Bored at work and nothing to do and I'm in a bitchy mood so I thought I'd start this.
Me first:
Why don't people reply to emails? Really pees me off.

If you have anything to bitch about, crack on and knock yourself out!

Plus this is a "safe zone" or "blocky" (we all remember that one don't we) where you can happily slag each other off or anyone that has generally got on your chesty lumps!

Hey Animal you are in a mood today! lol. Now that's what work does to us, isn't it!

Okay, I'll have a moan.

I think there is a conspiracy involving wasps. Every where I turn I see one glaring at me with its beady little eyes. What is with the stripes too? Think they're so cool? Gosh, stripes were in fashion years ago. Why don't they change their style? And what is with the sting? I mean, OUCH!!

Here's another thing, why does the coffee machine only fill the cup up to just over half way and then throw in a bit of froth as if it was an afterthought?

I can't stand it that managers will blame you for EVERYTHING but things that go right! I'm a consciencious worker but it doesn't make me want to do well when you have a manager getting all the credit for something I've achieved.

here's another thing, why are Blackcurrents purple? That's just so confusing to me!

And why is it that the IT staff walk around in twos....?

Why do people ring first call saying "I can't log in" when they're computer is switched off?

Why do people lie when it's so obvious that they're doing it?

Why do people hold other people's cars for months and months doing nothing and letting it rust and lose value in their little "museum" and when they DO something, they mess it up and try to cover over themselves and pretend that they can fix it when they obviously do not posses the time or have the competence to actually do it...?

Why the heck are lemons so bitter?

I hate wedding planning. There. Said it. I hate it all. I would prefer to go over to Vegas as it's so damn stressful and it makes me want to throw myself out of the window!

Bus drivers can be the most stupid people on Earth. "Does anyone know which way I go?" - "Well, seeing as we're in a one way system you go right" *rolls eyes*

What gets on my chesty lumps more than that about IT peeps is that they always wear casual clothes when th rest of us have to wear shirts, ties etc. They are a law unto themselves and feel that they are omnipotent and untouchable. Anyone who has seen the IT geek episode of "The Office" will know what I mean.

Hey, its off topic chat and dross. Knock yourselves out!

LMAO - Very true about I.T. Always a level below smart casual. Trainers instead of shoes and shirts untucked!

*gasp* You are SO right! That IS annoying! LOL even Ross does that! *glares at picture of Ross*

But then, you could look at it like they are considered "below" the office status. So they have to dress down like the cleaners.

SPEAKING OF THE CLEANERS, I really hate it that there's a definite divide between office workers and the cleaners. What is this rubbish? Are cleaner supposed to be treated like lower class citizens? Are they any worse than us? I mean, we're just pawns in the company whether we're a manager or not.

This is because while you are busy sat on your chairs kicking the cables out and complaining about the internet not working, we're crawling around on the floor under your chair putting the cables back in. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we don't want to crawl round the floor in suits.

2 things getting on my chest adornments this week,
Thatr Bl**dy cadburys Gorilla , I am not getting the point at all , unless there is no point , and if theres no point why bother at all?
My Mp3 player wont boot up at all , so i threw it at the wall , funnily that didnt help much either.
oh and that penny lancaster on strictly dancing thing really winds me up having her gate open while she dances,

[Flat on my back]

The little f.wit that nicked the two alloy caps off my front wheel valves? Why!

[curlyks2]

Sitting through a series of presentations this week totalling 500+ slides delivered by someone with a voice like a hacksaw. Why do people do this? It's (maybe) possible to take in the first 40 or 50 slides, but 500? Glazed is a mild word for many of the expressions in the audience. Asleep looks to be more acurate for a few.

That’s not entirely true, most days we were casual clothes because we do a lot of manual work. When’s the last time you carried a filthy PC to the IT department when it broke down?

The rest of the time we wear shirt and ties when sitting in pointless meetings listening to users explain how they "think" an IT department should be run. ...or blame storming sessions if something went wrong that was deemed unacceptable. Number one focus is to point the finger rather than fix the problem.

Oh, and we walk around in twos for protection, people love to ambush lone IT workers when there minding their own business, having lunch, going for a pee! ...yes i've had people ask me "computer" questions while looking down into a urinal

I should point out most people totally ignore IT staff unless they have a problem and want something. So all your IT staff sees are arrogant, impatient, and frustrated people having a go at them. Have you ever stopped an IT person and said thanks for all the work they do, and how everything is working great and making your job so much easier? Nope didn’t think so

/Rant over, ahh i needed that

Amen

People only contact their IT department if they have a problem or want something. It can be soul crushing.

I find the tunes of Kevin "Bloody" Wilson therapeutic after a session on the support desk... and you can stick that *&^%ing phone up your £$%(ing (*&^...
