So one of the bosses caught wind that I had taken initiative and read up on our new IP phone system. Now, I get to help host a meeting helping those who are unwilling/unable to watch the video. At least it will look good when I cite it on my evaluation.

quack everything about Spirit. Flew home from mexico with them. I had 1 hour to get off my plane, through customs, and onto my connection. I should have known that probably wasn't going to happen when I booked the flights, but then they said "don't worry, we'll escort you to the front of the line, and we won't leave without you."

I think it's so weird that people feel like it's suddenly okay to ask how much you weigh (or plan to weigh), just because you've lost some weight. At first, I was really pleased when people at work commented on my weight loss. But then one day, someone asked what I was at now, and I was kind of blown away that she would even ask that.
Moving this from the other thread due to subject change.
I know what you mean. I don't know why, but some people in my office have shockingly bad boundaries. My work spouse is 40. She doesn't have any kids and has been married to her second husband for about a year now. No bullshit. I have heard her be asked three times this month when she is having kids by male co-workers. Every time, it just amazes me that those words come out of their mouths.
So the trainee I've been bitching about is finally moving onto her next phase (well, to another shift anyways). Which is great. Because I'm still her "primary trainer" but I don't have to sit with her everyday. The other side to this is that I don't think she's going to make it. But it's not up to me anymore. Her next trainer is super harsh though so bright side is that I don't have to be the one to fail her. Because it sucks being the one who has to be like, "yea, you're not cutting it. Sorry, you're done."
My job had a 75% fail rate. I feel bad for people every time.

This one person at work keeps pulling my bowlS (yes, plural!) out of the drying rack and using them... No problem, except she squirrels them away in her office after dirtying them or leaves them soaking in the sink for days.
Ugh. So now I need to start hand drying them and keeping them in my office, I guess. Annoying.
We just got told this morning we have a surprise audit from the governor's office -- we have too much overhead supposedly and they are coming today and leaving, well... they aren't sure. We were told it could eliminate a lot of jobs. And to act busy, look busy, no talking among ourselves, no internet, no phone, etc. Tomorrow is jeans day and I'm kind of upset we can't wear jeans now. Sigh. Okay. This is my last free internet moment before shit hits the fan yall. Just needed to vent.

Bowl #1 was left dirty in the sink all day again today (as it was yesterday, also). An unrelated co-worker washed it & I pulled it from the rack and put it in my office.
Bowl #2 is still in the offending co-worker's office from yesterday morning.

What will be great is if the offending co-worker gets upset when "their" bowl goes missing.

Have you talked to the coworker about it? She might not realize that she's doing it or may be oblivious to the fact that it's inconveniencing other people.

No, I'm just going to keep them in my office between uses instead of leaving them in the drying rack (well, once I have both). There are community items in the break room cabinets, so she'll still have those to use. I'm not sure how to gently tell someone they're inconveniencing me with their slovenly ways.
It's just hilarious because I bought the second bowl last week because my first one always went missing and now they're both always missing/dirty! Out of all the items in the break room, what are the odds? And I could just use the community items, but I'm oddly anal about washing dishes and don't trust how most other people wash things (I'm always amazed at how few people wash the outside/underside of their dishes and then stack them up). So I brought in my own and hadn't had a problem until the past couple weeks.

Oh my god, I know I've told this story on here before (and to JHOinTN recently), but Josh and I had a friend (at the time) live with us for a few months a couple of years ago. No exaggeration, his idea of washing dishes was to run them under gently flowing, lukewarm tap water. No sponge, no scrubbing of any kind, no soap, just a light rinse. And he would do whatever filled up the dish drainer and let the rest just sit on the counter.

Maybe it's kind of a good thing that he didn't "wash" ALL of them? Blech.

Yeah, it gave Josh the chance to actually wash all of them before they got put up.

Buttholes.
Go to a garage sale and buy a bunch of old, cheap plates, silverware and such. Put them in the break room on the counter with a big ole sign: "Use this and stop using mine", signed 'your generous co-worker'.
I wash out and keep my kitchen accoutrements at my desk lest they fall victim to what you describe.
Hate it when you're at work trying to squeeze out a silent one and instead it sounds like Donald Duck getting murdered inside your ass.
Even worse, what if you have a donald duck that is dying to get out so you rush to the bathroom only to find the CEO in there washing his hands. Unfortunately you have no choice but to just let it go and let your donald duck of a fart quack throughout the room and waft in your CEO's face.
This is of course hypothetical, this definitely didn't happen to me last Tuesday.

This is correct, crazykittensmile. Washing/drying your stuff and keeping it at your desk is the only way to fly. I have a pack of plastic bowls that I got 5 for $1 at Wal-Mart and I keep every damn one of them in my bottom drawer.

Yeah that's definitely what I'm doing from now on. The funny thing is there already is a cabinet packed with old garage sale plates/bowls/etc... This person just likes grabbing my freshly washed fancypants bowls from the dryer.

Bowl #2 is still missing.
Why look for shit when there is a perfectly adequate bowl right there?It being fancypants is just icing on the cake.
What does a fancypants bowl look like? So I will know which one to steal?
Basically just a NEW bowl, clearly not purchased from a garage sale many decades ago.
Go to Michaels, (not Hobby Lobby, because they hate women's reproductive systems) and buy some paint. Paint your name and some pretty pictures on your fancypants bowl.
