I graduated in '99 and we used single spaces back then. maybe it's a regional thing?
I don't know, I went to school in Tennessee, and Dave said he'd never heard of two spaces.
I think it depends on the teacher. I did all of my schooling here and I had one teacher (in middle or high school, in the 90s) who told us to use two spaces. Nobody else really brought it up.
Creating a report with a landscape architect who not only has a million different ideas but then changes those ideas after every review has been a daunting task this week. Soooo very happy it's the weekend & I don't have to look at my work computer for two days.
I hate being so busy at work that I don't have time for inforoo. I feel like I've been neglecting a kid or something.
I had to speak to a man yesterday that has bi-polar disorder and was upset over $3.43. He yelled and cussed for the majority of our 4 minute conversation and I sat there and listened. I ended the call as politely as I could (because that's what we're supposed to do when people yell and cuss). He immediately called me back to continue his tirade, and again I ended the conversation as best as I could. He called my supervisor 4 hours later and told her I was very unprofessional, that he had recorded our conversation and reported me to the "proper authorities".
I like my job, but in times like that, I really dislike it. My supervisor is smart and nice so she knows everything he told her was a lie, but still. UGH.
Coworkers would regularly microwave fish at my old office.
I have someone that likes to burn popcorn in the microwave every damn day.
LOL, when I worked at the county building there was an office that set off the fire alarm with popcorn burnings at least quarterly. Complete with fire fighters and evacuated buildings.
I'm amazed they weren't told to just stop making popcorn in that office. Maybe all the old ladies just liked seeing the firemen? It all makes sense now.
Just because it's 90 outside doesn't mean it has to be -90 inside the office.
I feel the same way about heaters being unreasonably cranked up in the winter (shut up, it dips down to a chilly 50 degrees here sometimes!). You're wearing warm clothing to fend off the elements, yet it's at least 80+ degrees in every store/office/restaurant. Ugh. Nightmare.
My office smells like someone set off a beef Ramen bomb. It's horrible.
My father-in-law is a retired Air Force colonel who took a post-retirement job as a civilian defense contractor developing non-lethal weaponry. One of his company's projects was...well, for lack of a better term let's call them "odor bombs." The idea was that you set one of these off in a crowd and the crowd instantly disperses. Their #1 product was named "American Standard Bathroom." But I like "Beef Ramen" even better.
Work is hell. I'm swamped with no end in sight and no time to visit inforoo either. I have 3 trainees and 2 lazy asses to oversee and my own workload that keeps piling up. If I hear one more criticism from my boss who refuses to offer me any advice or suggestions on handling my shit, I am going to scream and throw things.
That idea my husband had about quitting my job and selling our house to live aboard a sailboat is looking better and better.

Someone is wearing too much perfume and someone (maybe the same person?) repeatedly refuses to use air freshener when they poop in the office restroom. My nose is going on strike.

I don't know why I didn't see this post until now, but I think you're onto something...
EDIT: Mother f-ing Proboards and them screwing up the quoting... Sigh. I even saw them trying to mess with me and I fixed it. Posted it.. and it was still messed up. Edited it.. and it was still messed up.
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.

I read this yesterday and was like (read in Aziz voice) "Hahaha. Sucks to be her. I am glad my office bathroom is big as f*ck!" Well today, let's just say that someone in my office's gastrointestinal system worked out the cubic area of my office bathroom and decided it was up to the challenge.

Luckily my office poopers are on a schedule and I know what times to avoid going in there!

Dave Maynar: I have GOT to get you in touch with my father-in-law. Patent your bathroom and we could probably get you royalties.

I'm so sick of bad managers getting promoted and then just upsetting and treating good promising young employees like crap. Want to be a manager? Remember it's about managing people and not just tasks. I wish one of my peers would just quit. He causes so much drama with the way he speaks to people.

It is this reason I am excited about an upcoming change at work. Historically, the only way to really get more money is to become a manager therefore anyone who has been here for a while automatically went down that path regardless of their want or ability to manage. In the new system, they are offering promotions to positions that have to deal with becoming an expert on certain aspects of the business. These new positions have zero management responsibilities but include the same bump in pay. When they told us about it, one of the big reasons they put forth for the measure was "Not everyone is meant to be a manager. They're smart people and good employees, but they just don't excel in dealing with people."

That sounds like a great plan. Letting skilled people become SMEs and paying them for it is a good plan.

Over and over again, you prove to that I want you to be my manager But my boss is pretty rad, too

The thing is the ramen bomb wasn't the bathroom. It was out in the cubicle sea.

Of course that's me. And my quote attributed your quote to Druid, so I apologize about that as well 
But my boss is pretty rad, too
