Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

Paycheck is now only on line, not hard copy. THey managed to change over but not give us the last few weeks in March. They aren't accessible on lline. I can't balance my Quicken without them :mad: I hate the paperless thing. I want stuff I can hold, not have to flick between many windows. :(

I am an 8th dan black belt at hitting yellow lights at just the right point to trigger panicked indecision on whether to slam on the brakes or go for it.

For the missing info, you could contact HR and ask them to get you a copy. Can you just print off a copy of the ones that are online for yourself?

They aren't accessible before 4/13 and I need the ones before that. We are small. The company that runs the site is our 'HR' for this. They were hired to deal with this stuff but no one knows why we can't access stuff before 4/12. A call to them reveals they have no idea and little motivation to get one :mad: The boss is maxed out. Has already been asked about this and the answer was to call them. Sigh.

When people I haven't talked to since high school and wasnt really friends with hit me up for a job.
 
Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

Road construction. Well, to be more specific, when they make drastic lane changes without any notice. Just this morning, my exit was closed without warning- it's a 3 direction exit, with one of them already closed, but my part was still open. This morning- all 3 were closed- no notice. Added 40 min to my drive to work.

I'm glad that they are working on the road- and can normally deal with the lack of lanes. But when unannounced changes do that, my gears start to gind.

People who cut across parking lots.

More specifically: People who cut across parking lots and assume that they'll still get the right of way.

Overuse of exclamation points!!! I have a coworker who cannot send an email without ending every single sentence with at least one!!! Most of the time its multiple!!!!!

Seriously. I appreciate that you are thankful for the work I've done or that something good has happened but for the love of God, tone it down.
 
Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

If you have a baby, for the love of god, don't bring it on a plane. Or just check it in one of those dog kennels or something.

What really causes me to grind my teeth about e-mails with multiple exclamation points is when someone brings brownies or cookies or something and sets them out in the break room.

"There are homemade cookies in the break room! Enjoy!!!"

it's that "Enjoy!!!" that gets to me....it's like a command, not an invitation.:eek:

Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

Grr. Here it is 9:22 and Lil is just starting to put together the poster for his project that is due tomorrow BIG grade in subject where he needs a GOOD grade. He still has to get everything ready for his meet tomorrow. Biggest meet of the season and yep he is a fup as far as being responsible enough to do the work before tonight. Last night, as he was watching TV we asked if he would be ready for bed on time tonight. Yep. Now I am a nag. Well suck it up knucklehead. You screwed up. Loving it costs him 3$ for every 20 min over his bedtime (9:30). So far in the last few weeks he has wracked up about 20$ in idiot fees. Gonna be a long time before he has enough money to insure that car at this rate. GRRRR!! :mad:

The kid is old enough to drive and he has a bedtime of 9:30, or a bedtime period? Strict much?

When he can't get out of bed to make the bus in the AM and he isn't driving yet-yes. It is the attitude more than the time frame. He isn't a self motivator. I don't mind letting him sink or swim to a point but our school system is in the shi77ter. If he gets out of honors classes he is screwed for an education. We can't afford the 15K for a private school.
 
Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

It's totally reasonable if he can't get out of bed in the morning and function on less than X hours of sleep. And there's a big difference between 14/15 and 17/18.
 
Re: Ginding away- stop putting sand in my oil... Part 4

I'm not a parent, so I may be off base, but I would think at that age it would work better to say "I won't tell you when you need to go to sleep, you're old enough to figure that out by yourself, but you need to be up by x time so you can make it to school. If you don't make it to school, you won't be able to participate in the next track/cross country meet." Give him the sense of some responsibility and lay out the consequences. My guess is that he would figure it out pretty quickly, especially if he had to stay home from one meet.
