Talk About Work Thread

Nah...that was a girl in my pharmacy classes. My last real ex. This one was at work and it never really was clear what was going on. And she was doing the same to other guys, apparently. :bleh:

Argh, she was one of those. :bleh: Glad you steered clear. Girls who play the field like that really get on my nerves. I mean, keep your intentions for ONE guy. Same goes for guys. Manipulation should NOT be part of the game.

A customer called in, her name was Teresa Sasaki, so I said, "Konichiwa!" - silence on the other end. So, I asked, "You're Japanese aren't you?" She says, "No, I'm Mexican. My ex-husband was Japanese." :ashamed:

I was early again today. It was all guys closing, so I skipped out at 5:30. No twins today. :hehe:

Ouch! :hehe:

Ooops. :doh:

You meant well. :beaten:

I'm too tired to work.... :( :sleep: :sleeping:

It's the weather: Although I work in airconditioned comfort, there's no such luck at home. It's warm and humid at night, and I don't sleep well :( especially when Mrs A.D. is restless (as she often is)

Made it to work..... :bleh:

It was VERY hard waking up at 5:45 today... :sweat: :tired:

Hope there's not too much mentally challenging things to do today... Like logging on or trying to remember passwords... :beaten:

That is ALWAYS the hardest part for me after I've been away for awhile, and it seems like there's always one of two passwords I can't remember. At that point CPD (chronic profanity disorder) kicks in. :beaten: [/list:u]

Man, I have that same affliction. :sweat:

Haha, good luck going back to work BMW. I foresee a late night for myself :pout:

DoesnLt come as a surprise but I realised I donLt like my work at all.
But since it pays well, I can dedicate 2008 to plan my exist strategy. :hehe:

No surprise, but I guess The Queen didn't make "not being a bitch" as one of her New Year's resolutions: I was chit-chatting with our secretary for a minute and she came by to clearly snoop on our conversation... :shakehead:

Hopefully she wasn't offended... :sweat:

Awwwww not liking your job makes it even harder to work. What do you do, Esther?

Am I the only one still on her vacation? :hehe:

Lucky! Enjoy while it lasts :D
I work as strategic marketing manager, I plan marketing campaigns for financial products and initiatives, which I love. But I really hate the company culture and power struggles between departments because itLs impossible to progess properly. I waste 70% of my time on diplomatic compromising and itLs exhausting.
:tired: But hey itLs almost Friday :mrgreen:

There's only two passwords I have to remember here, one is my wife's name, and the other is "password" :hehe:

Yup.

I can live with two-day workweeks. :victory: :mrgreen:

Work sucked today. One of my coworkers that was supposed to be closing decided to call in sick. Guess who got to close? And my real closing day is tomorrow :shamefulcry: . God, another 10 hour day.
