Just got done talking to a customer, and he demanded a direct number to my dept. because, "I refuse to work with those people in India"
His last name is Singh!
Ya know, because of my last name, people automatically assume I'm muslim. When I tell them that I'm a Christian, I usually get that "Uhhh... is that allowed" look.
Being a teacher in a school with a lot of south asian kids, you can imagine how often this happens. _________________

Numbnut boss made a comment about herself being "very dense today."
I had to bite my lip and rush away to keep myself from adding to that remark.
and add a cough and mutter some "extra" words....under your breath....
as if they didn't have anymore constructive enthusiastic comments to make....
micro-mgmt sucks!
Whack-Job noob coworker on holiday. Lots more work for me to do since we're short handed but I don't mind...the office is bliss without her. She'll be back on Monday.
Trying to figure out a quick way to catch the flu by Friday, that way I can leave all the work piled up for her (like she always does to me) and take sick leave for a week...or two. Boss is on holiday the week whack-job comes back so if I fall ill, this girl will have to work all by herself. She never does anything, you see...goes around all day chatting and sucking up to the bosses, spends a lot of time on the phone and basically leaves everything for me. She'll do some work...if she feels like it.
Just the thought of her getting stressed out because "she can't handle the workload" is enough to make me smile...

I find this easy to do at my job. I just sit beside any one of my sticky kids (students). Never fails. Also, did you know that a teacher's desk is the most germ-infested. Don't remember when the study was done, but I totally believe it.

There are a lot of south asian christians. My family has been Chrisian at least six generations now. They even survived the Mogul (turkish?) invasion.
Tho, really, it's sorta not "allowed", since christians are illegal prosecuted in Pakistan. I don't have any family there (mum was born there, but moved to Canada in her early teens) because Christians literally "run" from that country. Beautiful country... just not as friendly as I thought. _________________
