Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

That's better

 

That doesn't look like a pimped out Classic Mini Cooper to me.

 

Correct, it is a Mercedes with a tea station.

 

My spelling isn't. Suite??

 

being given rules to follow.... and then being talked to because I follow the rules "too well"

example:
boss: hey so this is how we do things. Do it this way.
Me: ok.
~months later~
Boss: you know it's ok to do this, right? why are you doing it this way?
me:.....because it's the rules and you said to follow the rules?


but i bet the VERY moment i break the rules intentionally, i will be penalized on the spot....

 

My boss changes how we do things on an almost daily basis, so at any time we can be questioned why we aren't doing things this new way - which she just made up!

She feels disrespected if we ask too many questions, though, so asking if anything has changed can very well end up with a meeting with the owner of the company telling us to do anything the boss says and stop questioning her!

 

I am not looking forward to going back to the world of work.

 

I'm actually kind of enjoying this telecommuting thing. Not much of a people person, so sitting at home in front of my computer isn't really a hardship. The loss of exercise is getting to me, but I went back to the gym and the weight is coming off.

 

I hate that. I hate it when the so-called grown ups (the supervisors/bosses) are the most insecure, least grown-up people in the place.

Throw in some language barriers and a job that could be pretty chill is now quite stressful!

I was going to look for a new job months ago but something, something pandemic and now any job I could apply to would most likely be worse. So I'll probably stay around until Christmas when they move out of town and I'll have to start paying to get to work...

 

HAH! That was my experience in the army. These greenhorn sergents telling us how to wipe our asses always talked so much shit. It was quite obvious if a person had been deployed or not depending on how they carried themselves.

roflmao. I dont know what's more disturbing, the blurb or how you found it! hehe

 

Since when has a Sergeant ever been a greenhorn? They have had their time in service and struggled through the super low ranks and all that entails. Sergeant is a backbone rank. A workhorse that takes on the triple duty of diverting the attention of higher ranks from their charge, training everyone new, and leading those currently in their platoon/shop. Insecurity isn't a Sergeant quality.

And as far as I've seen, those who dealt with deployments were nearly indistinguishable from those who hadn't. Boot status, however, is the distinguishing factor. They always carry themselves either so lowly or so highly that they're laughable. Non-boots evened out a bit. Just because you completed a deployment doesn't make you any less boot. The saying was always "You're a boot until you stop acting like a boot."

 

Aw come on Homer, stop making fun of Canadians, eh?

 

I've heard that's an issue with 2nd lieutenants.

 

Make that a Sergeant Major with a daughter and I'd have a tale to tell ...

 

Oh. Sorry, eh. Didn't know.
