@Sox35, yep. They love me so much that they... "must... tell... friends. Job no more... must tell friends." Then they leave. Haha... honestly, the Woman was doing great, and she even said herself that everything seemed easy. She also said that she had a 2 year old child, with no father, and... that she "could never quit." heh. Well...

@Suzukir122: That’s insanity about your new hires just walking out  I’m sure it has nothing to do with you  People just make abysmally foolish decisions in the workplace, and I’ve seen it far to many times haha! At my former job, we had a really good guy “Jake” working in the copy center. He was really neat, serious, and organized and helped me many times setting up for meetings, completing projects, etc. Very little got under his skin. The one and only time I saw him get angry was when “Marge” put a half full cup of coffee in the top rack of the dishwasher and soiled the clean dishes on the bottom rack. He freaked out because we needed those clean dishes for a meeting later that same day. His cubicle was next to “Marge” and they were always at odds with each other. Good thing “Jake” always took the high road with Marge’s antics.

One time Amber brought in Cards Against Humanity on a slow Friday afternoon  It was a riot! Amber’s demise came when she began having dress code violations and profanity problems. She dressed like a redneck and cussed like a sailor, and she gradually made enemies within my workplace. One day, she used duct tape to hold a bra strap in place along with a t-shirt that was a little too casual. Later that day, she dropped the mail in the parking garage and cursed up a storm. She could say things that would make George Carlin blush  Someone squealed on her to HR and she was gone with the wind a week later.  I’ll miss ol’ Amber LOL!

Quote from: sox35 on March 19, 2021, 08:53:20 AM Hmmm. Dress codes. Nobody tells me what I can and can't wear, anyone trying will wish they hadn't  Not dress codes! I swear some schools just have dress codes to spite me! I love wearing a beanie, part of my weird slice of fashion and it does a decent job at keeping the old head warm. But some schools have it banned for no reason, it doesn't obstruct my face at all. The school i am at now technically doesn't say you can't wear hats, its just stuff that's inappropriate for a learning environment. But i had a teacher yell at me twise for wearing a hat a few months back and threated to write me up for it! So if she ever catches me again i will just remind her of the rules.

We have a security guard at work, Dennis, now to look at him, you wouldn’t mess with him!, but he has a great scene of humour! After a small outbreak of Covid, we all get tested twice a week at the minute, and when Den gets his negative results, he calls the security office the ‘neg zone’, now the nearest water supply to us, (maintenance department), is in the security office, and Den catches us every morning filling our kettle! It’s now become a running joke, try and get water from the neg zone before security catches you!

@Sox35, well now... that fits in perfectly. Not only am I forced to work an overtime day tomorrow (been a while since that has happened) that night shift sucks. The boss is iffy, and the workers there hate each other. And then, there's one coworker on that shift who actually managed to piss me off, which is funny because it surprised everyone. (I never get pissed at anyone at my job) And it's gonna be a cold night. (30 degrees) Cold and powerful Full Five Finger SMACK possible.

@Mandolin Girl, The Full Five Finger SMACK is an open hand, not a closed fist. A closed fist from me would KO the dude. Anyways, I'll get back on topic. One really funny thing about this particular coworker is that he sounds like a childish version of Daffy Duck, despite being 6'3 and built like Flubber. So it's funny when he attempts to bark orders and power trip against people like me. We will see how things go tomorrow.
