Feeling Very Intolerant Today

[lucidblue]

Usually I don't mind listening to people complain about things going on in their lives, work, etc. Today I am just sick to death of it. I want to tell one of my co-workers that is my friend to shut the fuck up. She's just always spazzing about everything here at work and really none of it matters... nothing to get so upset over. I have enough problems in my own life right now and I really don't feel like taking care of everyone else and being the steady person.

Ok, that was my rant... carry on.

Answer them back with off the wall/psychotic responses, also, be animated as well.

If a co-worker is complaining about his/her significant bother, recommend they disembowel them with a rusty tea pot, dump the body in the lake and then have a party for yourself at the local brew pub. Streamers and balloons are optional.

Like I said, don't forget to be animated. When explaining the disemboweling segment, jump on your desk like acting out a scene from the Deer Hunter pretending you're Emeril carving a Thanksgiving turkey. If this doesn't sway them to never discuss their personal issues with you again, then gouge their eyes out while screaimg "No more wire hangers!!!".

Enjoy...

I told a coworker last week that if I got sent on a long project working with him I'd probably just kill myself so I wouldn't have to talk to him anymore.

Maybe I should develop an internal monologue.

Problem: itchy balls

Resolultion: don't shave so close

Short & concise.

lucid, maybe you're shaving too close?

j/k.


I have a funny one that makes me want to bash my head on a brick wall today.

I work for a software services company. We resell some software applications and make them available to our customers. We've been working w/ a particular partner selling their app to our customers for like 3 yrs. Its my project to make this app available to another segment of our customers, except as I review the current implementation, I find that they can't reconcile our billing of customers with the partner's billing to us (we pay back the partner at a specified rate), and this may have been going on for 3 yrs. Because no one bothered to pass our unique customer ID to the partner at account creation time. So on their bill back to us, they include THEIR account ID for the customer, which is not associated back to any IDs we use. So, except for checking the total monthly balance, we can't actually match our bills to theirs. Um . Gawd.

So last Friday we identify the problem and I"m told our finance guy will talk to their finance guy to get the correct information and we'll verify our reconciliation. Today I get their response. Some how they just don't get what we're talking about and have sent back the same bill they always send, but with a new column for US TO ADD our unique ID. Duh. The unique ID is what we can't match in the first place, so this is just stupid. So I send an email to the finance guy pointing this out as if to imply, have you clarified this with them yet??? What do I get as the response to my statement of this info is missing, am I not understanding something yet? His response is "DUHHHHH!". OK that's productive. And...? i.e. what are you going to do about it? nothing... nothing... nothing...

So I sent a nicely worded, big fat email back to teh partner, our finance peopel and my counterpart at the partner company trying to explain all this. This was at noon. Its 4pm. What have I gotten back ? Nada.

Amazing.



We now return you to regularly scheduled rant.

Oh but you were listening.

When she starts to bicker.. just turn around and walk away...


If she doesn't get the hint...... tightly clench your jaw... stare at her and begin to growl... that usually does it for me.

I used to do this.
It was rather effective.

Even though people thought I was nuts.

I have this inability to bull shit people when I'm busy and feeling intolerant. One of my tellers starts to drone on about her weekend and I simply looked up and asked if she truly thought that I gave a shit at that moment. Another one called from another department and I put her hold for about 5 minutes then pickd up the phone and asked if what she was about to say had any impact on work what-so-ever.


Harsh, but I felt better afterwards and it kept me from bashing my own head into my desk.

 

[lucidblue]

She's just been going crazy about work for weeks. I refuse to get that stressed over work anymore and she really is blowing stuff out of proportion. Friday I told her she needed to go get drunk before she made me crazy. Obviously the point was not taken, because it continues on this week. Worst thing is, she knows I have a lot of shit going on right now and I don't need to hear her constant panic.

Then calmy speak to her and at the precise moment, break into a Tourettes Syndrome moment. if she doesn't get the hint after that, then just beat her senseless with an HR book on "How to interact with Co-Workers".

Do we work together?!?!?! Just kidding...

I get pretty stressed because I have 1,000 to do on any given day and I freak once in awhile. What sucks for me is that I can be totally calm but if someone else starts flipping out then it tends to push me over the edge. Does she have legit reason to be going nuts? Or is she just a drama queen?

It's a simple case of constant paranoia and inexperience in a mgmt position.

Holy shit. We may really work together.

As someone in her position-or close to it-try to keep in mind that she's probably really over-whelmed. Of course, at the same time, if she's in management then any issues she has should never be seen by anyone.
