This week is awful.
I could go on and on about what all I have going on, but I'm a full-time student at the graduate level as well as a GA who gets the pleasure of handling all the grading of a class of 125. It's crunch time, last week of class and then finals week.
I work in a giant research building, and a lot of the people who work here are east Asia nationals who typically eat their native cuisine. The main break room always smells like microwaved fish.

I wish it was relegated to the break room. The smell is coming in loud and clear in my office.

Y'all don't have a policy about that type of thing? Even though there are just 6 of us apparently someone made broussel sprouts once and they are now forever banned.

No policy. There are only 6 of us here, too. I'm pretty sure the boss lady did it.

Awwww even worse!! We have no "real" policy either. Its one of those things where it happens and everyone calls out that person, since you know how small offices are. lol

YES! THIS! I work in a University lab and this same thing happens! I've seen it all! Whole prawns, raw fish, any fish you can think of microwaved...its insane.
Don't call and yell at me about how you think a rule works if you haven't actually read the rule.
Oh my God. I have thought this same thing so many times. Nothing is more annoying than someone screaming at you about a rule that explicitly contradicts what they say it does.
With warm weather and big events comes all the craziness. Walk into work, exhausted, and sit down to a shooting, an attempted home evasion, a chase and a rape... and I've only been here for 2 hours. Luckily it is 5:15am on a Sunday and people seem to be calming down now, but for fucks sake people need to get their shit together. We are all adults here.

I know this is a crazy idea and all, but I feel like, when your family member dies, maybe you should be more sad about the loss of your family member and less worried about who is going to get all of their money/stuff/land.

Definitely. My mom's siblings and spouses went batshit crazy when my grandparents died and threw fits, stole stuff from the house and stopped talking to others because they were so greedy. My grandparents had names on the back of everything and it was still madness. My mom is now literally giving everything she owns away to avoid that happening. It is sad that people act like. I just don't get it really.
So last night I had to stay late at work so a cleaning company do the floors. I've done this before, and usually I'm out by 1am. No big deal really. Well yesterday the lead cleaning guy only had two people in his crew instead of his usual four - and those two were both two hours late. So I ended up being at the store for 16 hours yesterday and didn't get out til after 3 in the morning. I can't complain too much, because really all I did was hang out and read while they cleaned, but today I am so fucking exhausted. Today they're coming back to finish the job, and - lucky me - Mondays are my closing night, so I get to stay late again. I'm just hoping to get out before midnight, which should happen because they didn't have a whole lot left to do. And my boss was nice and said I could come in late tomorrow. Luckily all of yesterday's shift and the extra that I'm staying tonight is gonna count as overtime (and supposedly my annual raise went into effect at the beginning of the month), so next week's paycheck should be pretty ballerific, but right now I just want to sleep.

I am supposed to be reading a 4195-page record right now, but my attention span is only permitting me to read about three lines at a time before becoming distracted. I figure that, at this pace, I'll be done with it in approximately six months, which is a little bit too long because I really need to have it done by Wednesday.
Admin: I am so f*cking sick of this sh*t. I can't stand it. Me: Why don't you go look for another avenue of employment then? Admin: That's what my wife says. If you go somewhere else though, they got their own set of rules you have to learn and all sorts of snakes in the office that you don't know. Me: Oh dear Lord. Admin: You'll understand when you're older and have had as many jobs as I have.
for the last hour and a half, a kid has been standing outside the door to my work house playing a cardboard guitar and screaming the chorus of "i'm not afraid" by eminem...

I know it is probably annoying as all get out, but reading it is pretty hilarious.
I'm not an entirely superstitious person, but last night it was *so* obvious that there was a full moon. I don't think I've ever had a more consistently weird as fuck group of tables at work ever.
*hands a pineapple juice to guest* "do you guys have any questions about the menu or do we want to throw in any dishes to start with?" "..... yeah. I'm good with just the pineapple juice.." "... okay, so you still need some time to look through the menu?" "........... no. I'm good on food. just this juice is fine."
this couple ended up ordering and sharing of jasmine rice like 45 minutes later. just some white damn rice for their "meal". and then complained and argued that their rice was not jasmine rice and not what they ordered. it's fucking steamed white rice, you idiots.
I've checked Bonnaroo.com and Inforoo repeatedly today trying to figure out why therewas no new info and why nobody was mentioning it. I *just* realized it was Tuesday, not Wednesday. Working random overnight shifts sucks.

It's vacation season! People are out for weeks at a time but don't have proper back up systems in place but instead leave everyone left behind to figure it out with little to NO notice. JOY!!!
p.s. it's also AUDIT season for the next few months, aka our busiest time of the year

Yeah kiddo. You'll understand when you're an adult.
I've got a lady playing table maxes on side bets on my table. Payed her over 10grand in three hands. She keeps asking where I live/my phone number so she can tip me. How bout you tip me now haha
Landed a new job that I've been trying for the past 6 months to get!! Only one downside.... this is probably my last Bonnaroo for a while as summer vacations are pretty much non existent with the new gig....definitely my last one as a volunteer, IF I can manage coming I'd probably be a Friday morning - Sunday afternoon patron from now on.... being a grown up sure does suck sometimes...at least they let me keep this year..So maybe the lack of interest in the lineup will be a good thing and allow me to cross off some of my last remaining Bonnaroo bucket list items!

So the ladyfriend's first date at her assignment was going to be May 4th then it got pushed back to the 11th then the 18th then the 26th. While I was at Shaky Knees, it got moved back up the the 18th. Today, they signed the official agreement and informed her she was purchasing her flight out tomorrow which basically made it a 100% lock. Three hours later, she finds out her boss has put in a request for her to not start until June 1st that may or may not be granted. I like it buying her a little bit more time here before she leaves for an extended period, but getting the date moved so much is making it impossible for her to make any concrete plans or do all the final prep for her move.

Wow, that level of change would drive me crazy. Especially with something as major as a move across country. Hopefully they get it nailed down soon.

Oye. I just landed a new position that is making me sell my Mountain Jam ticket and will knock it off the table for the foreseeable future. It also will make other festivals hard for me- none specifically right now, but I just really have to check and double check dates of things before booking in the future. Right now I basically can take off whenever I want from April to November. It's going to be a big change But no Bonnaroo? That would be death. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that the event that happens the first weekend of June never moves to the second... I keep getting waives of anxiety every time I think about it! Sorry about your Roo loss!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
