Office Work.......

How much time off are you taking?

Quote:
No, someone hires me on Saturdays to clean the houses they rent to people for vacation weeks. I've been doing that every Saturday from June to October for about five years now. Pays much better than my full-time jobs.

Sometimes when we hate something so much but HAVE to stay with it, we start doing little things that can sabotage our jobs without us "meaning to". And it's easy to do that at an office job. My collection of stolen paperclips has filled my basement closet.

I know, which is why I am taking a short break. I will be lucky to get a week off, since I am everyone else's back up, and they all have their vacations planned the year before. BUT, a week is a week, so I am not complaining---yet.

Today's letter, which made me realize I was being a bit unfair and a WHOLE LOT arguementative:

Dear Gossip Dude-

As per my supervisor, our CFO, and the lovely ladies in HR: I don't work for you.

I have no real objection to filling the copiers with paper for your department, as I do enjoy getting away from my desk on occasion. However, since I don't work in your department, or even on your side of the building, it makes no sense for me to do so. When I pointed out your 2-month turn on the copy paper was missing, your response of "managers don't have to fill copiers" was inadequate and laughable. I too, am a manager. Yes, these people snapping to do my bidding are my peons. In addition, I also have more degrees, have more management experience, and make more money than you.

Please direct any requests for projects, ongoing work re-assignments, or tiny-wiener temper tantrums to them. Per the CFO, and new work must be assigned by my supervisor, in person, followed up with an email confirmation.

I know we have crossed this hurdle before, usually when your wife is #@ #*( *&%, so let’s make it a non-issue. If I can mark her cycle on my calendar, so can you.

Thank you,
StubbornPants.

Now I am listening to "House of the Rising Sun" by, by, by, by, Waylon Jennings. Didnt know he sang that one did yall. Heck, most of yall probably dont know who Waylon Jennings is. You should have to know that before you get your license to herd chickens.

Laree, sounds like the best thing you can do is take the time off. And don't spend the first two days thinking about work. When you're usually buried in it, it's hard to stop thinking about it, but do it.

Hugs to you my office sister.

Buff- saw your siggy. I play the viola, sometimes the violin. Some how bosspeople found out and roped me into the office band. But that is for another day, and another Crankypants letter.

GO ORCHESTRA!
