GM's thread about nothing (23 Viewers)

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Seems like these coworkers are up to something.

 

[Bogart]

Just found out I'm jumping on a plane for LA tonight, staying through the weekend and most of next week.Will suck not seeing my kids on Easter, but doing the "good solider" thing and hopefully get some brownie points in the process. Also Sunday at the beach might be fun.

What part of town?

Chatsworth

Filming an adult movie?

If things go right. Five years with this company, at ground zero for pr0n, staying in different hotels, I have yet to see a scene filmed or even what looks like people leaving that filmed a scene. I'm beginning to wonder.

3. My announced departure at work yesterday led to one of my team members becoming so upset she vomited, two people quitting on the spot, and a third that is on the verge of it. From 9-7 yesterday I had nothing but a constant stream of people coming into my office very upset, with not a single moment where there wasn't someone here and one or more other people waiting their turns. Truly an awful day from which I haven't yet recovered. It was all I could do to drag my sorry ### here today for more of it. Yay.

Why are these people so unstable? I've only heard of small children getting so upset they vomit. That whole scene sounds like a skit of some sort. All the more reason to leave imo. You're not responsible for their happiness (or sanity).

No...make that great posting. Sounds like you work with some real momos.

Some of my closest friends are people I have worked with in the past. At no point if they left or I left was it anywhere near this type of situation. Just sounds bizzare all around.Really hope everything works out for you. You have great times ahead of you. I hope this doesn't steer you away from it.

Yeah, it's definitely bizarre. If y'all can remember when I (last) freaked out in here about my job, and then add a hefty multiplier, it gives a sense of how badly this place has broken people down. The vomiter yesterday is (or used to be) one of the strongest people I know.As I was typing this someone else came in my office and just left after 80 minutes. She told me she also vomited yesterday. Kept describing this as a death in the family.I think people have just been so on edge due to all the awful things going on around here, and this sent them over. It's definitely way beyond anything I've experienced before in leaving a job.

 

[Joe T]

Meal planning is the last nugget of personal information I ever share with you clowns. I'm done here. May you all commence vomiting and have a gas at whatever you do.

 

[UOFI_316]

I'll Kripple better when I've recovered from the last couple of days, but:1. Good luck, gay/lesbian people.2. I don't see how you can plan meals in advance. What if you're not in the mood for whatever is that night's designated item? I just go by mood for all my meals.3.

So people were waiting in line to ##### at you for leaving and pursuing something that you want to do?? Do they know you are buying half of Nicaragua, or just moving on.

I reread that 3-4 times before I figured it out, initially thought he was working for a pron distributer or something

I turned in my resignation letter this morning. No one gave a crap. <_< I'll be around for another 2.5 weeks, maybe my colleagues will get sad as my last day approaches.

Congrats on quitting!!

I'm picturing

Apparently I did way too good a job hiding my unhappiness, as everyone is in total shock, not just on my team but in other areas of the company.

Maybe, instead of giving up and vacating, you should just light the compound on fire, Ms. Koresh.

The announcement was that I was going to move to Nicaragua and work with a non-for-profit focused on fighting poverty through community development--in other words, all truth. I didn't explain well, sorry--people were not mad at me (or at least didn't express anger) but upset at the departure and mad at the company for driving good people away.

Are they stressed about an added work volume with you gone? Worried that the company will tank without you there, so they'd better start looking?

Either that or inspecting/staying at/constructing a meth lab in a self-service storage facility. No other possibility, really.

Maybe they're just vomiting due to the cancer.

That makes more sense, they were all pissed at the company for getting you pissed and leaving. So all the puking and quitting was in your defense, not directed at you.

This was my other thought. Any rounds of Chemo just started??

Meal planning is the last nugget of personal information I ever share with you clowns. I'm done here. May you all commence vomiting and have a gas at whatever you do.

I think which ever side of the meal planning you are on, is in direct relation to the amount of kids you have. While I don't plan out months of meals at once, I do try to think what I will make each day given what I have bought at the store/have stocked in the freezer.I only go week to week so I can buy what is on sale and plan around those items. And yes, I do most of the shopping and cooking.

We just exchanged an email...I'm making pasta tonight. Wala

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I once quit my job at a video store. I actually walked out in the middle of a shift because the managers were buttplugs.

I went back in almost 2 weeks later to pick up my check. One assistant manager saw me and said "You're late." I told him "What? I quit 2 weeks ago." He said "Oh, good luck."

There's a penis joke in here somewhere but I'm not making it.OK, not everyone is losing his/her mind here. A 50-year-old woman just came in my office and blamed my leaving for the fact that she has broken out in zits for the first time since adolescence, but then she laughed about it. No vomiting ensued.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

So much vomiting

 

[Mr. Pickles]

This is probably the right time to reveal I have a Seinfeld-esque non-vomit streak going. It's got to be at least a decade long.

 

[Joe T]

I haven't vomited since MHIV.

Hey GM & Assorted Nazi Meal Planners -

The wife came home at 3:30 to find me half-asleep and the Flaming Bird playing Spore.

She plopped down next to me with her ipad and talked about her day. I tried to sleep longer but what she said* really pissed me off. So I woke up. That sucked. After an hour we said we were hungry so we both opened beers and made microwave popcorn (she really needed the beer*).

After an hour of that, we unplugged the Flaming Bird from the video game and asked each other what we wanted for dinner. He's our meticulous planning -

Wife: "Well, I have to make 2 pounds of fried potatoes for the school's chicken barbecue tomorrow. So I'm thinking breakfast-for-dinner? Homefries and eggs?"

Me: (drooling like Homer Simpson) "Hmmmm, potatos. French fries."

Flaming Bird: "I like french fries."

Me: "Mommy's french fries."

Flaming Bird: "I like tofu. They gave it to us at school the other day."

Wife: "Tofu?"

Me: "Yea, new government recycling program. It was made of people."

Flaming Bird:

Wife: "No, it wasn't."

Flaming Bird: "Ok, I like tofu."

Wife and Me: "Tofu and fried potatoes it is."

Yea! Take that, Nazi!

*Wife was upset because her little psycho students were making a ton of racist remarks, including arguing that there's a difference between a n#gg#r and a black person. After arguing with them (mistake #1 in my opinion) she wigged out and began yelling, telling them that their comments was making her feel unsafe as she is a brown person, not a white person, and their ignorance and comments scares the bejeesus out of her at times. She was not exactly scared, but after so many months of this nonsense she lost her sh@t. So yea, she needed that beer. :(

Maybe they're just vomiting due to the cancer.

The kids probably saw that Chris Rock routine, and it's funny as hell, but I could not imagine repeating it to my teacher. How old are these monsters?

[strykerpks]

Wait. People eat just tofu? Like, as the main course?

Guster, since I'm a Red Sox fan, I'm interested in a square if you have any left. Or even two.

I'll save 2 for you

Thanks, bro. This will be fun. $40 to your PayPal? (I have it from the cosjob SB squares.)

 

[Aerial Assault]

So I had all these ambitions today and actually started working at 8. It's now 5:20 and my big accomplishments of the day have been jacking off in two different timdraft threads and fighting with the usual tools in the ACC basketball thread. One more conference call to go, though.

On the bright side, no one has come into my office and ralphed.

 

[Bogart]

If this plane goes down, I love all of you.

Especially you. Yes you.

I wish it was that silly. Trust me, Mrs. CC is not a racially sensitive person; hell she might be the most patient person I know (she did marry me, after all). A little background. When we first moved to the area she got a good job at a decent middle school. But within a year NYS went bankrupt (thanks Wall Street, you slimy mofos) and education got slashed and since she was the low lady on the totem pole, her position was axed and she got laid off. She's a very good teacher with oodles of experience, so she quickly found another gig in the area. The problem is that gig is at an alternative high school. And I don't mean the cool alternative schools, like Bronx Science, no, I mean the dumping ground of socially-challenged kids in a poverty stricken, drug-infested, very redneck area. The police bust someone at least once a week on campus, 9 out of 10 times on possession. She's dealt with morphine overdoses on field trips. It's pretty crazy. The kids aren't violent (thank goodness), but they are messed up and very ignorant. It's a sad thing. She does her best to be as compassionate as possible, but after months of repeated terrible comments, she lost it.

The light at the end of the tunnel is it looks like someone is retiring soon at her old school, so by contract they have to rehire her. I'm praying it happens, for her mental health. Don't get me wrong, she's held up well, but the stress is beginning to get to her after three years of this.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Wait. People eat just tofu? Like, as the main course?

Vegetarians do. I guess my small ultra liberal town is experimenting with putting it in the menu rotation at schools. It is very healthy.

 

[mr roboto]

My wife bought a Vitamix blender today. Our old regular blender broke this morning.

These things are expensive! I like my green smoothies in the morning and all, but she made soup in the thing for dinner.

I have a feeling we will not be eating another non-blended meal for a week.

Your wife is a hero. If I were her, and a teacher, I don't think I would have last two months much less three years.
