What you did today

[Malcador]

Another day at Initech. Our dear leader realizes that after 4 people leaving, that we do need people! I am glad that we have his strategic vision at the top to ensure our team can handle the workload. Also did find it funny that they give the other support guys written tests (a bit insulting, given their non-existent training).

[Walsingham]

 

 

Thinking of quitting my job. Told my boss about my feelings and she wasn't happy about it. I'll see what happens tomorrow.

If it's a new thing, what triggered it? Shouldn't you be trying to fix that, rather than just running like a Frenchman?

It's been something that I can't do much about. Educated people want us to work in a certain way, I have no education and therefore my word equals crap. Told her how I felt today. From now on, I'll be working in my way. The thing is it won't be possible to do so in the long run because our work overlaps. This is serious business, working with kids to means that the grown ups need to show unity.

 

 

The British Army codifies the distinction between educated fools and uneducated professionals by putting stripes on the latter and acting as follows:

 

1. Express your concern clearly but respectfully

2. Indicate that you will follow the new instructions

3. Do the new instructions whenever anyone is watching

4. Continue as normal when no-one is watching

5. The fool will forget the whole thing in about 3 weeks

 

Ask Monte Carlo. He'll confirm this solves the issue.

For the Americans.. Never ever send your 19-21 year old daughters to Europe to study.

 

That is all.

You dirty bastard.

 

Of course, sending your daughters anywhere to study will probably yield a similar result. I know that the amount of...fun with women, IYKWIM...increased exponentially when I went to college.

[Rosbjerg]

Well there's that, but also the American girls here have, in less than 3 weeks, developed the sluttiest subculture I've ever seen. I went to a club yesterday, cause I have wednesdays off .. and I kid you not, 300+ exhange students just swarmed in, we were about 20 guys in there.. we did not stand a chance..

[Labadal]

 

I was (am) upset. I didn't tell her "I'm quitting". But I told her why I thought about it. I'm a person who doesn't like to fool around at work and I say what's on my mind. She was unhappy knowing why I wanted to quit, but not unhappy with me.

There was a guy who worked here that was unhappy for two whole years before he found a new job, I am not like that. These last 3-4 days, I haven't felt like I want to go to work. Never happened at this workplace before. Maybe quitting is very extreme, but something will be done. Maybe I'll take a week off. We'll see in an hour or so.

Is this all because you're not getting along with that other teacher? Stiffen that upper lip.

More than one person. I actually get along with the teacher I work with. I get along with everyone on a personal level, but it bothers me when stuff gets planned behind my back. They plan stuff I don't get any info about and then it clashes with what I do. I still have not gotten a schedule, hah!

I have asked for papers that I should have gotten 10 days ago. That's just a few of many things that is upsetting me.

 

Edit: Too late! Told the boss what I thought and she told me to do what I want.

Today I was so tired in the office I fell asleep, sitting in my chair while writing a couple of boooring offers. Then when I woke up I succumbed to the sudden very random urge to sing ''Row row row your boat gently down the stream.....'' in my deepest bass voice, much to the surprise of my co-workers. 

Now I'm extremely moody, switching between angry and euphoric mode. 

 

Maybe I should get a CT of my brain or something, I just hope I didn't pop an important vessel in my head when I was doing 160Kg deadlifts yesterday.

You should have built a redoubt out of mealie bags behind the pool table, and held out.

Sure you had a chance, well unless all of them charged you with the intent to beat you up or something.

just checking: you aren't an advanced military cyborg are you? Because I heard they were having trouble with the AI software in the upgrades...

In my experience, that describes the vast majority of college girls(almost all Americans in my case) I've encountered. The only thing that is worse is when they think that after (insert sexual act, from kissing to ...) you are dating them. I would advise enjoying the fun, but be prepared to run like hell the morning after or if you encounter them again.

I just spoke to some friends of mine that thought it to be about time to tell me that during midsummer, a friend of mine found that she had developed a tumor in her brain, wich had knocked out her ability to read English, recently actually survived her surgery and was going home soon.

 

I'm kind of really, really pissed off that noone told me about it when I ****ing asked where she was.

Harsh them not telling you.

[Azdeus]

To say the least, I have'nt been able to meet up with them as much as I've wanted to, but damn it. That's kind of serious enough to warrant telling me...

[Gfted1]

The tumor only affected her ability to read English but not her native language? Kooky. Reminds me of the guy who woke up only able to speak Swedish.

[Azdeus]

It's the only thing I heard she can't do anymore (Wich sucks for someone that was really into WoW for instance.), but it's quite possible that other things are affected; Memories that are gone, and personality changes.

[LadyCrimson]

It's that time again - beef jerky order sent.

Also, my Sherlock Season1 comes with the original 60 minute pilot (vs. the resultant 90 min 1st episode). Think I'll watch it while eating lunch. Apparently it's quite different in locale settings and pacing/plotting, altho also very much the same.

Why didn't they tell you? That's rather messed up, imo. It wasn't by her request or something, was it?

[Azdeus]

Not as far as I know, the only thing they ever said when I asked was "she home", "she could'nt make it". Another friend was'nt told either, and was just as upset as I was when I told him an hour or two ago, when I tried to find out why noone told me.

 

One person thought that I "did'nt care about such things". O.o

Not sure if that's an insult or a compliment.

Try being appallingly rubbish in bed. Works for me.

I now have a mental image of Ros, one foot resting on a wall of mealie bags, beverage of choice pointing at the charging exchange students as he turns to the handful of men cowering behind the makeshift fortifications: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends..."

[Rosbjerg]

This would be my speech.

[melkathi]

It has Brian Blessed in it.

Rewriting Shakespear to fit the actors:

 

"Henry V's alive?"

 

"Ah well, to be or not to be." [turns to hawkmen and laughs] "DIVE!"

 

"Unto the breach my brave Hawkmen! Let this be known forever as St. Crispin's Day"

 

"Henry V... when the ship hits the breach you'll be killed; this is suicide!"

[Azdeus]

Not sure if that's an insult or a compliment.

 

 

Well, I took it as an insult, I've always bent over backwards in helping and being there for my friends, and her not noticing made me feel ****. Goddamn bimbo.

 

Having difficulties deciding what to do today, mowing the lawn or help fixing my friends rallycar.
