The funny part about this was that she didn't say, "Oh, fuzzy navel?!?!" She said it very matter-of-factly, like she was just putting it on her mental shopping list.

Yeah, she'll call to verify an email address or something and when she gets the answer, she'll say "Wonderful!" What?! I don't think she realizes that word should be reserved for the look on a child's face, live Floyd bootlegs, and fireworks.You have one of them too, huh?

Coworkers,
If you have a project being implemented, the weeks of testing and implementation are not the weeks you should be going on vacation.

I'm all too familiar with this one. And then somehow they'll be pissed (at someone else) when they don't meet their dates.

Dear Cows,
The four of you run about a combined nine bills. I think you can survive one Friday without donuts, so the last half hour of complaining about the guy forgetting to bring them seems a little over the top.
Gluttonously yours,
SM

Hugh, what is with your brain? I've got to ask you things 5 times at least before I get a correct reply. Here are 2 email threads:
Me: So do you want me to add the existing voice over in the program or use the new voice over?
Hugh: The clip you posted was great.
Me: What I want to know, now that I've read your producer's notes, is do you now want me to add in the voice over that was existing on the tape or the one we just recorded.
Hugh: The clip you posted was fine.
Me: I'm not asking you about the clip I posted. What I'm asking you about is do you want me to now insert the existing voice over and take out the new voice over. (I copy and paste his producer's comments)
You: Use the new
5 days later I get a message to add the existing (old) voice over back in.
Today:
Hugh: There are a few more issues with the DVD which I sent you yesterday. When can we expect a new DVD? (They are within bike courier distance)
Me: I can get you a new DVD today. BTW I didn't get an email from you yesterday.
Hugh: Oh, I see you were never sent an email yesterday. I'll resend comments. (Why couldn't you send comments with this email?)
Me (an hour or so later): Hugh, do you think you could tell me when I'll receive those comments?
Hugh: I sent them a few minutes ago. I'll resend. (I never got the comments. Again, why not just send the damn comments with this email!!!??
)
(After a couple of hours)
Me: I don't know if you've sent any comments but I haven't received anything.
(After a couple more hours)
Me: Hugh, are you around? (now we are past time that I could implement any changes to get a dvd to him today)
Hugh: Sure (leaves phone number)
Me: I just need the comments.
End of day

Dear DPH-JD,
Thanks for calling in 'sick today'. Any day I don't have to listen to you back-stab another employee or be rude to customers on the phone in that shrill voice of yours is a small victory and cause for celebration.
I actually did a happy dance. I mean I literally stood up and did a happy dance because I hate your stupid face and your annoying voice that much.
Oh, and the fact that you called in 'sick' today, when our receptionist left sick at noon yesterday and you #####ed and moaned about her 'faking' ...well, let's just say it's not a 'coincidence' that went unnoticed.
Eff You,
SJ96

My favorite is we had a client scheduled to go Live beginning of April.The beginning of March I made a vacation request to be out end of May.For whatever reasons things were pushed back and back for going live end of May. I got grief for vacation. I freaking scheduled my vacation around YOU and now you didn't meet your dates I'm getting grief?

Dear Duke Energy:
After all this time, it would be nice to get a little more recognition of my achievements than a programmed message, delivered to my phone in the dead of night, saying "Dear...Wampus Cat..., thank you for your...ten...years of service to the company."

Dear Coworker,
When the project plan was being discussed and outlined certain tasks were assigned to certain people. One of those tasks was for you to enter all the new user/employee information. When the project went live and the information was entered wrong - it is not a design issue. YOU HAVE TO ENTER THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS CORRECTLY. If the email address is not entered correctly the system can not automatically correct it (which apparently came at a huge surprise to you).
PS: Assigning a help desk ticket to fix the users outlook email because they are not getting the emails is asinine and then too complain that the system is broken just shows your complete lack of gray matter. - this has not gone unnoticed.

Dear Bagel Burner,
What kind of an absent-minded dolt puts a bagel in our cheap-### microwave, sets the faulty auto-dial, and then walks away? Thanks for ruining everyone's day. I have weak girly-lungs and can't handle the smoke, thus causing me to burn (pun not intended) a sick day because of you. Thanks for that.

Please don't email me a nice well thought out email with about 3 sets of instructions, THEN call me 15 minutes later to ask if I got the email, and then go over each instruction anyway.

Dear sons,
I know I am to blame for not asking the secretary to leave my last hour open today. However, the bum in the office next to me (who I do 4x more work than) can't cover my last meeting today. He's busy. I know I planned poorly but this buttmunch is not being helpful.
I know I have picked you all up early from school for the past 7 years, so we can all go out and have ice cream to celebrate another year of school. But I can't do it this year. Sorry kids. No ice cream until after 5pm.
Signed,
Dad with poor planning skills.

Dear Buttmunch Co-worker,
I know you don't have children. Your a 55 year old guy with no family and lots to do. You can't understand why this might be important to both me and my kids, but hey that's okay.
DONT EVER ASK ME TO DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!!! EVER!!!!
Signed,
Pissy co-worker with poor planning skills.

Play around with their minds. if anyone asks tell them you had a race change operation when you were 6. Better yet! if they ask, tell them you were adopted.

I see.I'll take a PM if you've got the time...Dear CEO,
Yeah you own the company, but did you have to wipe out half the parking spots by building an 8-car garage for yourself? While you were at it, why not a bronze statue of your likeness?
Sucks parking a half-mile from the building, because your illegal immigrant warehouse workers took the good spots.

Suck it up, Kevin.
Dear maintenance project manager,
There are two people in IT. One handles the network stuff, the other the phones and desktops. I don't care if you don't like the network guy, but he's the one you need to talk to. You're a grown adult male, not a grade school/junior high/high school kid. Suck it up and talk to him about what you need to have happen. I am not your "go between" just because you refuse to speak to him. Also, leaving him out of important office move/new office construction emails, for the same damn reason, is just stupid. I refuse to be caught up in this childish BS. When I tell you that you need to talk to him, don't give me that "for reasons I'd rather not get into, I don't want to talk to him" nonsense. I know why you don't want to talk to him, but I don't care. Act like a grown adult and do what needs to be done for the good of the project and the company.
All my love,
Sclaffer
