    Thought for the day,

    I HATE data entry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have been a field guy all my career and have only been in the office for the last couple years.We are shipping all of our equipment back to the US and I am having to create an Excel spreadsheet with all of our equipment ,where its at,value ,etc,etc,etc,ad nauseum.Days and days of typing in data. [yukface]

    I work for an hour or so until I am bored to tears then pop over here for a few for a break. :D


    (BTW not a sympathy post, just venting)

    So. At the top of the main page, it says I have 65 unread posts. So I click on read unread posts, and it tells me there are none. So, I'm either completely caught up, or the software cannot add as well as I can, and I have troubles with my checkbook. Or what TF is happening?


    Where's my tin hat, they're coming to take me away. I think. Or not. Or something, anyway. 8)

    A Daddy Long Legs took up residence on my desk earlier this week. We make good companions. Tonight I took an empty Italian Ice cup that I had eaten yesterday, added a little water, tipped it at an angle on my desktop and watched my new buddy feast on the slightly sweet contents. After about 1/2 hour, it sat on top of my scanner and proceeded to take each of its legs in its pedipalps and methodically cleaned each from top to bottom. After finished it's bath, it settled under my desk lamp for a nice long nap. It's been a long week and this little diversion has sure been welcome.

    Click on 'unread posts' in the top right corner of the main page, then at the bottom right of that list, click on 'mark all forums as read' sic

    that should clear it. It may have been from some of the threads that were deleted or moved out of sight....

    I was at work today and some old man, bless his soul, needed handicap plates but he did not have a physician statement so I had to tell him he needed one and could come back then. Well, he came in later and mind you this poor man could hardly walk told me the Dr. said no he would not sign the statement b/c he could walk the 50ft into stores. :evil:

    Oh yeah...I gave my notice...But I don't know if I am gonna work it out now..

    They , specifically one of the girls..was just awful...she told me that making CD's was "cheesy and cheap"..and I was ungrateful and stupid for quitting where I had it made..... :rolleyes: :evil:

    I may go in today and leave an "effective immediately" letter..and get the rest of my stuff out.......

    The big boss was actually quite gracious about it..which is understandable..I am going to a company that can send a LOT of business his way....

    But she was awful..I can't even describe how terrible the last 2 work days were...

    She sounds like an idiot. Make sure you give her a big [finger] on the way out the door. Good luck on the new job.

    You don't know how much you hit the nail on the head. My wife got a call from a parent today and the parent cussed her out on the phone. All because the kid leaves school an hour early every day and she doesn't have any grades for the last subject. So my wife, who has two degrees and gives countless time, care and money to these kids is cussed out over the phone by someone who obviously doesn't care enough about their kid to work with her teacher who is bending over backwards. I may have to sit in the back of the room tomorrow night when my wife has open house, maybe the Glock t-shirt and 260 pounds of displeasure in my face :twisted: , voice :twisted: and attitude :twisted: will deflect some of the heat. .....................................................Then again I might get my wife fired. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut.
