One of my employees quit yesterday with two weeks notice (except half of which she has pre-booked off for vacation) and she has the nerve to be a pro bitchface towards me. Why? Who knows. Whatever point she's trying to prove, she's not proving it. Unless the point is "good riddance".
I fully enjoy not accepting 2 weeks notice if it's not a nice parting of the ways. I always thank them for the consideration but it's not necessary. Just leave now. Work that pre-arranged vaca out with HR and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Yup. Already met with HR and if her poisonous attitude seeps beyond her emails to me, I'm kicking her out. My team deserves better than a toxic employee who can't be bothered to stay civil for 5 more business days.
F$&@!?G MIL! I'm over trying to play nice. The amount of time she gets to see this kid is going to be directly proportional to how well she can keep her trap shut.
Also, I don't know what planet I've been on, but I have never heard the term twatwaffle. I snortled when I read it. Thanks for that!
If my office door is almost completely closed why must people insist on just busting in my office and bitch to me about random stuff ... I'm thinking in am I the complaint department??? I've got my staff bitching about his girlfriend and how she digs in his crap (I suggested therapy), I've got the secretary bitching about her sister moving in, a co-working bitching about our boss and how she's fed up (get another job and leave me alone!)
I'm a manager at an insurance company and deal with my fair share of escalated calls and rude people.
I assisted a guy with his claim today and was able to issue payment 3 days after the claim was reported. He ended the call with "Thank you for the help...you have a very specific skillset, although not a particularly useful one".
Um, thanks TW it was pretty useful in getting you $23k though...I'm probably just being sensitive but it really got to me.
Also my client who has rescheduled 3, yes 3 times as she doesn't have money yet she lives with her husbands parents. She wakes me up at 7 am to ask about shampoos and conditioners she should use than after telling her multiple times what and why and when.... She posts on Facebook she got some crap on sale somewhere where she doesn't even need and most likely will dry out her hair.... Ugh. I'm ready to stop responding and tell her sorry I'm all booked.
Another one to add to the grammar issue. Run-on sentences!! I hate when people post a long tirade without a single comma or period. Reading it stresses me out, it makes me feel like they're saying it really fast, without taking a breath.
Oh and when people don't know the difference between breathe and breath
My friend who has already decided this baby will be her god child. Ummmm no.
Also my coworker who said to me at 13 weeks when I was celebrating slim chances of loss "remember there was a one percent fail rate for my surgery and that happened." WHY would you say that to someone?!?!
DHs coworkers who find it necessary to call at 5AM to ask him work related questions. Or call at 7AM on the weekends to ask him said work questions. Or while we are trying to enjoy time hanging out with each other when he's off work. Dh is military and I know that the job can be 24/7, but all these people that call him literally only call HIM because they know him, instead of all the other people in his shop that would know the answer. However dh is one of the only ones in his shop that can do specific important work, and that's really cool that he's trusted like that. It's just annoying when they call his personal cellphone at 5am to ask a question that could have waited 2.5 hours until he actually got to work. I told dh to have his phone on silent at night so we don't get woken up by the phone calls but he always forgets. It would be different if he was told hey, you're gonna be on call 24/7 to answer questions, here's a work phone. Idk maybe I'm just expecting too much.
Also, I swear next time I see someone say "I'm a planner" in regards to needing to be prepared about anything baby related, I might flip a table. I have no idea why being a planner is so relevant. And what do you mean you're a "planner"? Don't most people plan things? Or do most people do things on a whim? Knowing the baby's sex has nothing to do with needing to plan things. Im finding out because I want to, not because I need to "plan" things. Maybe this is more suited for a UO
@Love4littlethings24 hey fellow hairdresser!! I have 2 demanding clients who message me at all hours any day of the week- I am a hairdresser, not a therapist. I can change your hair, but that won't make you happy if you are unhappy from within! It's so hard, neither are bad people, but they are both driving me CRAZY!!
@ashhsa seriously I just can't sometimes! My doctor gave me a restricted schedule and I went from working 60 hours a week to now 35ish. Most of my clients get the make an appointment concept but I'm having people call all hours on the day saying to just squeeze them in.. Uhm no! It's so irritating and while I love my job I'm finding I just don't have as much patience as I use to, to deal with certain people! The struggle!!!
@Love4littlethings24 I can imagine, people can be demanding, even your favorite clients at times, you say "I'm pregnant" and they say "but you will still do my hair right!?" Lmao! Oh well, at least it means they love what you do!
It just hit 12 AM so it's technically not Tuesday, but after work today I definitely felt the need to comment on this.
Here's one "little" thing I've been upset about.. All of my coworkers smoke. Every single one of them. We can be super slammed and once we get two seconds to breathe someone will jump to run to go take a smoke break yet I'm 3 hours passed the time my lunch was supposed to be. It's horrible.
Wait for it....
My coworker who has been gone for over a month due to "medical issues" just got promoted to supervisor. So here's the thing...everyone was told she was having medical issues and had it approved as paid medical leave when really she was in rehab for NA. Like what???? I was at work puking my guts out still working because it's summer and we're busy and they need me and yet they're fine with her being gone all of June because she's in rehab!! I was infuriated to say the least.
So it's Wednesday now but I NEED to share my TW Tuesday and people are posting about misusing the term "bully". This coworker of mine has reported me for being a "bully"!! She and I already had to have a sit down chat with our manager because she is such a cry baby that I asked her to do something and ONE TIME DIDN'T SAY PLEASE so I must be this huge bully. Please keep in mind this woman is almost twice my age. In my first three months I got one promotion and in the following three months was offered two more including management. This woman had to be talked to because she can't even lace up her boots right. Dead serious. So I get a call yesterday that this total twat waffle reported me multiple times for being a bully and they decided to move me to a different crew instead of her! I'm the one with seniority, I'm in the higher position... I'm the asset and she's a liability and they side with her!
Also my dog is a twat waffle because she ate the Cheetos right off my plate...
Loved this thread, too bad I got to it too late! Well, I can still say that yesterday people cutting the line to go into my gym class got the best of me, almost started screaming at everyone.
I'm on vacation with my SO's family, so I guess you can say soon to be MIL and FIL and his little brother who is 12. We are staying in a camper which I am completely fine with, but it gets pretty stuffy. The biggest problem is that both his mother and father smoke cigarettes IN THE CAMPER. I'm trying to sleep and I feel shortness of breath and so much irritation that they don't have the respect to at least open up a gosh darn window! Also my SO is too afraid of his mother to say anything to her about it. Needless to say I went outside at 2:30 in the morning and called my mom to cry and rant to her. To add a little sidenote his younger brother thinks the world should be handed to him, and it gets on my last freaking nerves. Oh and one more thing his little brother ate almost all my sour skittles without asking. So pissed.

Sorry, but this is not ok. You are setting yourself up for a lifetime of IL issues if your SO can't even speak up to his parents when it comes to the health of your baby. If he won't be an advocate for your child, you need to step up and say something.
I told him I am going to say something if he didn't and his response was, "it won't help anything they will still do it."
"Well, I'm going to anyway. I guess this will be our last camping trip with them."
My guess is that they also chain smoke in their home? When LO arrives, is he still going to be so sheepish about bringing his child into a smoke filled house?

Yeah, same thing I said. I use to smoke before I found out I was pregnant, but right when I walk into their house the smell of smoke smacks you in the face. It's awful and I don't want my baby to be around that. I feel like she would even smoke with the baby in her car. She gets an attitude when I tell her "I can't eat that" or "the doctor told me....." Sorry I'm trying to be cautious.
I feel horrible to admit this but my mother has been irking me since I got pregnant. Usually we are like best friends but these days everything she says/does annoys me. I hope it will pass.
My wonderful job and it's total twatwaffle management who have now put me on UNPAID leave until the baby is born because I can't do my standard job and the only option they gave me was unpaid or some bullsh*t crappy long hours where I would never see my DH or LO! Who am I supposed to leave my LO with for 10 hours a day when my DH goes away for up to a week at a time and we live 5500km away from the nearest family member?!?!
Oh and sorry it's late but @Lljbean don't use glitter, it's too easy to tidy up! Use tiny polystyrene balls (like in the pic).. They become "charged" and will run away from the vacuum when she tries to clean them up! Much more satisfying!

Re: Twatwaffle Tuesday!
Edited to try to fix quote boxes.
Also, I don't know what planet I've been on, but I have never heard the term twatwaffle. I snortled when I read it. Thanks for that!
Or "irregardless" and "supposably." My soul shuddered just typing those. Love my fellow grammar (not grammer) mamas!
