I just got the rudest fucking email from an engineer I work with and I'm so done with this shit. He's lucky he's in MN or I would probably go ape shit on him right now.
Can you share the gist? We'll be outraged for you.
I was on a tight deadline on friday and asked another engineer to "approve" some logic that I was using in some calculations because the asshole was on PTO. Asshole now has his panties in a bunch about it even though I've explained why it happened (and seriously it was asking if he agreed that it better to use an average instead of just one number) and he just sent me an email (with other people on it) that said "Life is tough. Bypassing the initial reviewers is not a decision you get to make." I didn't fucking bypass anyone asshole. He's always difficult, but as hard as I've worked on this project (that he's now blocking just because he feels like it) I'm over it. If someone doesn't say something to him about it, I'm going to be so pissed.

I go long distance ape shit all the time. It's fun. I'm not afraid of getting on the phone and chewing people out.
We're supposed to be working on our "relationship" so I won't. But it's really hard when he's a constant asshole and does shit like this all the time

I found out this morning on FB that my brother's engaged :/ He then texted to apologize (bc I commented "WHATTTTT!?!?!"), his fiancee didn't realize he hadn't told his family yet.
I feel like Sweet Caroline is a song everyone should know so that when it comes on, you will stop and EVERYONE will break out in the chorus. It's like a group experience or something. Like Rocky Horror.
DH is ready to kill me because I can't help but sigh LOUDLY while I grade these final papers. I am totally exasperated. How does someone barely--and I mean barely--literate get to be a college junior??
Grading essays depresses me most of the time, and makes me wonder how these students wrote acceptable college application essays.

You had someone else review - he should be pissed about that person agreeing with you, not that you bypassed the review process. Can you at least send a snarky email back saying, well the review process worked b/c my reviewer agreed with my logic. Perhaps we can approach future project calcs the same way to save time and budget.
Sounds like a former coworker of mine that I had to have "discussions on our working relationship" several times over 4+ years...it came to head one day when he sent a sexist, rude, expletive-laced tirade by email to me about some project work that I asked him to complete and I got to forward on the email to the owner/our boss with the words, "What are you going to do about this?"
My random is that I just finally finished reading the Jeopardy/Roots thread and thought, "Damn, don't these women go to the public library?! I mean, most of those books/movies are showcased at least 1-2 months out of the year and available for free checkout. They even have Friday there - I checked that DVD out once and I'm in the middle of all-white America."
Oh god.
No. No one who hasn't seen/read Roots has ever been to a public library. I'm pretty sure lasagnasshole doesn't even know what a library is! Books? What are those things?
They say single child free workers have to carry the slack of all the Mom's who have to leave to take care of sick kids or run off to doctor's appointments. But here I sit, with a shitload of reassigned crap because my single child free coworker needs to run off to a bachelorette party!
That's fine. That's fine. But I don't want to hear it again how moms/parents burden the non parents in a workplace!

Grumpy.
(Is this an (@)? I can move it?)
(devil) ummm, I didn't complain once when I was doing my co-worker's job while she took her three month maternity leave last summer.

No, but that was my sarcastic thought when she asked where she could get them in the thread b/c Netflix didn't have them.

And I have nothing to wear for it. And we're supposed to be painting and moving crap all weekend. And I hate internal interviews, especially when the panel is new boss, old boss (the one I'd be replacing), and one random manager. All of my good stories/examples revolve around these people!
Anyone want to help me shop for interview clothes? I'm dreading the idea of a jacket because it's ridiculous for the weather here.
So I thought that said yam and got so excited because of Megan Heimer and yam dicks. Then I saw it was you and was like, "oh, YARN, not YAM." But then I got all happy again because it so hilarious and cute that you said this in the first place.
I can't decide if I'm annoyed or amused by random LinkedIn endorsements. I got one this morning from someone I haven't worked with in 6 years. And it was just for CSS. Not HTML or Javascript or anything else that would be attached to the use of style sheets. Uhhm... Thanks?
Sometimes LinkedIn suggests endorsements "Does Joe Smith know about Underwater Basketweaving?" I've accidentally clicked a few of them and randomly endorsed people In fact, the other day I clicked the button too fast and endorsed someone without seeing it, so I don't know who I endorsed or for what.

And I would reply (this is why I am not a manager): that's good then since I didn't make it. have a better day.
I would say the same. Except I am a manager. I've only been one for 3 months though. Maybe I'll get fired soon.

I had a dream I was in rocky horror the other night
Sweet Caroline was something we sang at every karaoke night in Japan whether in a private room or at a bar. I'm over it.
What? That's crazy. How about the evenings? think I read something about public libraries closing and lots are in rural areas.
I think two days it's open til 8. We're San Jose library. It's insane. Budget cuts hit the libraries hard and they haven't come back. We need the $$ for gang prevention programs.
