I'm glad I don't work Fridays because I am sure a few of my co-workers are dropping some social commentary truth bombs today that are throat punch worthy.

My boss thought striking up a conversation about how things are going with our new assistant WITHIN EARSHOT OF OUR NEW ASSISTANT in the break room (while I was heating up my lunch) was a good idea.
So awkward. I had to whisper because things are not going well and the door doesn't shut.

Also, I burned my finger.
Your boss was trying to turn your new coworker against you and not her.
Do I want a work phone? It's being offered to me and I don't know if I should take it.
EDIT: More information. -No one else in my department has one, but there are two iphones up for grabs. -I am in charge of all the social media and it would be a lot easier to post from separate phones then worrying about making a mistake. -I don't foresee myself giving up my personal phone, so it probably wouldn't save me money. It would just mean that I have two phones to lug around. -It would be quite nice to have one for travel and such and not use my data. -My boss is pretty chill, so I don't think it would increase his expectancy of me responding outside of work hours.
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.
Do I want a work phone? It's being offered to me and I don't know if I should take it.
Do you already have a smart phone? Is the phone being offered better than your current phone? My work gives me fifty dollars a month to use my personal phone as a work phone.

I do have a smart phone- a brand new Galaxy S6 and the other is an iPhone, but I don't know what version. I doubt it's super new since they've been sitting around unused for at least 6 months (but not sure how long actually). If I was offered $50 a month, I would take that in a second, but I wasn't offered that- just the phone. It's a thought to bring up...

I would ask about a monthly reimbursement. If they say no to that then I would say no to a work phone. Carrying around two phones sucks.

Been there, screwed that up.
Usually its posting stuff I meant for the group page on my own wall, or posting stuff on the group page under my personal account rather than as the group admin.
Been working on research paper for a particular class for far too long. We are ready to go into the coding process, but one of our group members is flakey as hell. Said she be available today, doesn't show up or answer the phone. This has been common from her as well.

We can't move on without her participation.
One reason I always hated group projects in college. One person (at least) would always fuck it up for everyone. I did a group statistics project basically by myself one semester. One person broke his leg in an accident and ended up withdrawing for the semester due to it. This left me with two hospitality majors who self admittedly didn't know what was going on. They contributed to the project by offering to get whatever I printed out from the printer and running upstairs to the store when I needed a drink.

Group projects really are the worse.
Me and the other guy in our group have did all we can by ourself pretty much over the last month. The funny thing is she's very intelligent, and probably has a better grasp of what's going on compared to me and the other guy.

I remember those kinds of people too. One of my professors had a nickname for them, "ABD". The term stands for All But Dissertation. He said there was a portion of grad students that came through the program who were absolutely brilliant but could never get the level of organization and motivation required to finish it out. They frustrated the hell out of him.

I had to sign a contract to ensure my project participation with my acceptance letter to VCU's brandcenter masters program because there's soooo much group work.
should be an interesting time. I think I'm more worried about being grouped with someone who is too obsessive about group work in my situation (want to meet every day, take way more time to do every project than needed, won't trust other group members, etc.) than someone who wont participate.

Most people in grad school are obsessive over EVERYTHING...prepare for that.
A lot of my problem (and the other guy in my group for that matter) is it's middle of summer. At Radford (3 hours south of VCU), a very small percentage of students are around in the summer. My apartment parking lot has about 20 spaces, during the school year you will see 17-18 of them consistently filled up...right now only 4-6 are filled up. She told us she would be here most of the summer though.

We recently rolled out a uniform email signature policy at work. They gave you a template. You just had to copy, paste and switch the dummy info to yours. Some people are struggling with this difficult task. One of them is one of the directors of communications. I find this humorous.

My company did this about a month ago. The director of marketing for the whole company, still hasn't updated her signature. It is something completely different from everyone else.

Ridiculous.
They should force it via a group policy push auto-populating employee info from AD to fill it in and restrict any changes...you know save people from themselves.
Chicago's summer has been shit so far, but of course the hottest and muggiest day of the year is today, the first day after the long weekend when the last thing I wanted to do today was drive around and fix broken dish machines. And for some reason, no matter how many times I tell them, my accounts never call me when they are getting low on chems, but they wait until they completely run out. This Monday sucks.
Sitting at the walk-in clinic waiting to do my insurance mandated health screening along with several other people who are here for the same thing. Next year, I'm going to do this more than a week before the deadline to avoid the rush. Unfortunately, I've made myself the same promise multiple years running.
i've been in school for 9 quacking years, and I am getting to the point where I just don't give a shiz anymore. if anyone wants to hire an engineer/neuroscientist/statistician/mathorscience teacher/babysitter, i'm your guy.
only having a serving job full time (as opposed to working a couple nights a week with a day job) is eating my soul alive. I've never been the most patient person, but that veil of patience I've had at work has slowly been whittled away.
I realized last night that I literally have zero patience left. every human being is a moron and every little thing annoys the piss out of me. can't wait to move on because it has made me a seriously angry person.

at least it makes me more excited for school?
Right before I quit bartending completely, I felt this way. I hated everyone, was always unhappy and every tourist pissed me off more than anything. I felt like I was becoming a huge ball of hate.
When I quit it was like a huge ball of stress being lifted from my shoulders. I miss the lifestyle of working nights and having so many days off, having cash in my pockets and the fact that I could make more money doing that than working in an office. But the stress and the idiots are a great reminder of why I can't do that anymore.
I hope that you get a little break during your move and it helps bring some perspective.

I think the only reason why I am sane is because I now only work 12-20 hours there most weeks. It's enough for money in my pocket, but not enough to eat away at my soul.

Sometimes I am amazed at my own ineptitude. I only scheduled two different authors to do signings in our store for this entire summer, and I just realized that I managed to schedule them both on the same day, at the same time, in the same place. And one of them is the wife of one of our employees. Oof I'm a mess sometimes.

exactly. when I was working at chino ~2 nights a week I loved it. and overall it's still a great place (thank god my coworkers are awesome), but I could never do this full time in the long term.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to give up the extra cash flow though. until I'm making it rain, anyway.
Tonight is my last night off before returning to work after being off sine June 9th. I don't want to go back. The only thing helping me right now is reminding myself that I get submit my two weeks notice in a couple of weeks.... I'm going to enjoy my last night off though. WOO!

I picked these exact ones because they are all calls I've basically had to some varying degree.....
