Last Person #5

[Buka]

I have dealt with some seriously bizarre people recently. At work I mean.

They walk among us.

@gpseymour is packing up to go to Virginia for the Tough Mudder. It's supposed to be hot and rainy. And because of @Xue Sheng 's mud allergy, he has to go at alone. I am staying home to defend the castle. This time.

I was called in yesterday by command and asked to put in for Detectives Supervisor vacancy...which would mean I would have to cut my hair, stay clean shaven, and wear a suit everyday..........no I’m good.

 

[CrazedChris]

Oh my, I was sooo cranky yesterday. No idea why. I see the irony of posting this right after a pic referencing a period...lol. I hope today is better, hubby is supposed to jack up my car and check the rear end. I hope its nothing serious.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Loving it!
As far as it goes, Boss Lady has been picking on certain people - they left by now.
She has left me the hell alone. I think I got a pretty good 'Resting B*tch Face' although it takes a LOT to get me to do stuff.
It does not hurt that the customers and indirect bosses love me.
but doing a good job does not always grant protection.

I just wish I wasn't so dang tired after work. I really do need to look elsewhere...tired of dealing with this crap!

Yup. I've been basically bullied out of my previous job. Get this - former boss put me in this noisy little shithole of a cubicle on the other end of the building from the rest of the team, saying we were out of room at the existing office, and my job was the most independent one of the others (I was the document specialist supporting every single educator on the team). I took another job since then.

Some time later (after I left), she hired a bunch of other people - she now has at least four or five more than we had on the team before I left. They are all at the big office space - and she had NEVER used that cube she had me in on the other end of the building. Not once. Hmmmm....

Yeah, that's a good sign she did not want you around.
I am sure she was threatened by your genius, prowess and handiness in the kit...I mean dojo!

She was actually rather shocked by my training. She thought my enjoyment of martial arts and mud runs was highly unladylike and inappropriate.

I gave up on dapper many years ago. Lol

I prefer comfortable viking

Ha! What do THEY know?

 

[CrazedChris]

Ooh dapper vikings? I like. lol

 

[AngryHobbit]

Ooh dapper vikings? I like. lol

And these are viking gods, and they are pretty dang dapper - so who are we to argue? Right?

man, I am so out of the loop in regards to TV....
Or Hubby just has weird taste.

He got himself a trial run for Amazon Prime, now he is wearing the streaming service out.
Really weird movies, and of course TV shows you haven't seen before.

He was binge watching 'Bosch', now he has found 'Fortitude'
And either one is just plum weird.
The cinematography is strange, the color pallet somewhat monochrome and cold.

Am I missing something?

He does not like fantasy, so nothing like Games of Thrones, nor Marvel....

Westworld?

Also use to here her on the phone with folks outside of the department. IF something was being praised she took full credit for it, and 9.5 times out of 10 she had nothing to do with it. But if someone was complaining she blamed others...even if it was that .5 times out of 10 she did something.

When I train or coach managers, this is exactly what I warn them not to do.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

It's been a while for me but wanted to stop by and say hi.

Glad you popped in. Tell us something important!

 

[AngryHobbit]

- Kitchen stove and counters scrubbed.
- Floors swept and mopped.
- Groceries procured.
- Plants planted.
- Canning jars prepped.
- Bills paid.
- Book promos scheduled.
- Kitchen rugs and dog beds washed.
- Blankets washed.

I am just going to sit there and watch Hellboy II: the golden army. Because I can and you can't stop me.

 

[Xue Sheng]

She later joined into a state political campaign...saw it as way to advance her career.... she was INCREDIBLY vocal against the incumbent...even showed up on TV.....well....the guy lost and the incumbent won....she got real quiet after that.... I have no idea what happened to her because I left that department shortly after that....All I know is that if you work for the government...you are free to vote for whomever you want.... but it is best not to get really vocal against anyone who is running...it is a great way to stall your career....or get your title moved to someplace far far away.
