10 second rant

What is going on? Do I need to get a t-shirt made up for work saying
in big print;
"Look, I'm not here because it's raining and the day centre is
closed.'?
Maybe I just need a 'respect is a two way street arsehole' one.
OK, better now :-)

I sympathise Loz. Somehow, I seem to have stumbled into a position
where I am appreciated out of all proportion to what I actually do,
but I know the feeling of being taken for granted from old experience.
We appreciate you and know you are rather wonderful, even if the
idiots you have to deal with at work don't.

Have you tried a sign stating "A lack of planning on your part does
not constitute an emergency on my part"? That was our motto for the
sales crew at the newspaper. They'd come in with some fat cash (for
them) sale and expect the paper to be ripped apart to accomodate their
wish. Never mind missing the deadline by 4 days. Our boss taped that
up and pointed to it regularly - it usually worked.

Still taking drawing classes because I'd *hate* to resemble that
remark!!!

That they only got me to admit to 27? <phew> I can get away with
that...

Thanks. Anyway, I had Thursday off and then Friday was okay, as
someone pointed out Yahoo Games to me.

Yes, I give short shrift to people who try that one on, as it would
imply that if a customer came and made a bald-faced lie, that they and
I both knew they were lying, I should still let them get away with it.
Chyeah.

Damn, I've got to use that. The guy who normally works in the
multimedia centre keeps forgetting to tell us he needs cover so he can
invigilate a test until the morning of the test.

ROTFL! That makes much more sense than either the shirt or shoes

in a shop would not only get service, but would find several male

Yeah, but no one would be allowed in our store ever, and not even the
employees on Monday morning, or the morning after one of 'those' parties.

In this case, "No brains, no service" would be description of the
employees rather than a directive to the customers...

Grrr... I'm thinking a "no brains no service" sign is posted at the
local CVS pharmacy and I'm just not seeing it. There is a definite
lack of brain (and/or a whole lotta nerve) with the service there. In
my recent dalliance with oral surgery I've had occasion to get
prescriptions for painkillers and antibiotics. TWICE now I've been
shorted on the painkillers....and upon counting them out today they
were short. The girl claimed "oh, they're all there I counted them and
the machine counts them". I fell short of saying perhaps some jumped
in her pocket on the way to the bottle, but it's quite odd that twice
the painkillers are short but the antibiotics weren't. She finally
coughed up the amount shorted but made a fuss over it. Perhaps 16 is a
tricky number since she only had 10 fingers... who knows.

See Jenny Jo's response. 'Tis right on the mark. Both of us are
Rasputinites. Ditton on James, should he ever choose to reappear. Tho' his
occasional brainlessness is usuall due to a lack of sleep and food, combined
with an overdose of caffeine - and even then he still has a brain, it's
usually just too preoccupied with making up nonsense songs.
