Tiresome Tuesday

[pismoduo]

Formerly known as Twatwaffle Tuesday!

We haven't done one of these in ages, so let's bitch it out. Who's on your twatwaffle list today?

[pismoduo]

The vendor support portal that has decided I'm "not entitled to view" my own support tickets. Now I have to submit a ticket to figure out WTF happened to my other ticket, which I only opened because they closed my prior ticket before the issue was resolved.

[requiressnacks]

There are so many, but I'm going to nominate my dishwasher repair man. He came last week and put a new pump in our dishwasher because it wasn't draining. Then we tried to run the dishwasher last night for the first time and it's not draining. SO ANNOYING. I want my $175 back.

[TheEleventhHour]

Our mail delivery person is on my list. She NEVER comes to the door and just leaves the "Sorry you weren't home!" notes in the mailbox for us to drive to the post office to pick up packages or items that need a signature. Without fail every single time she does this I am home ALL DAY so I would have been able to get the package she just never comes to the house. I tried to go to the P.O. today and it was such a shit show with no close parking and I wasn't going to truck it with the kid in freezing weather from two blocks away so now I have to go back another day.

She doesn't even try?! FUCK THAT. I'd be pissed. That's her job!

Ummmm my co-worker who brought SQUID for lunch today. SQUID!!!!! Who brings squid to eat at lunch at work?! Mind you the kitchen is at the front of the office, so any clients who walk in will certainly get a nice wiff of it as they come inside.

Right?! When DH came home yesterday and told me that note was in the box I was pissed because I had been sitting at home all damn day!

Nooooooo. The worst.

When patients at the hospital order fish for dinner I always want to die. The smell is so strong. There are enough smells in a hospital. Let's not add seafood to the list. 

ETA: requiressnacks That gif is perfection.

Report her. Seriously. That's unacceptable.

[sleepymonkey]

requiressnacks, that is the most appropriate use of that gif I have seen! (and I am really sorry to see you back here)

My coworkers who are upset about our program holiday lunch are twatwaffles. Usually we have a potluck lunch but this year the program is having the lunch catered and all they ask is that everyone bring a toy (or money) to donate. Some people are upset because they don't think they should be forced to "buy toys for poor kids because it's not their fault their parents make poor life choices." Ummm, it's not the kid's fault either and how do you know what choices the parents made? And no one is forcing you to do anything. If you don't want to make a donation, don't go to the lunch. Problem solved.

Just ... no. Shit like that makes me so ragey. You are winning the twatwaffle thread so far. 

I also like that the Chrome spell check recognizes twatwaffle as a legit word lol. 

[sleepymonkey]

Yeah we also had some people say that the age range for donated toys should be modified from 0-12 to 3-12 because kids under 3 don't know it's Christmas so they don't care if they get gifts. WTAF? Apparently I work with a bunch of Scrooges!

We had a UPS driver on our route that I watched straight up THROW one of our packages from the top of the driveway to the door, then get in his truck and drive off. A month later we ordered some brakes for the Jeep and the box apparently fell off the truck. He left it in the road. One of my neighbors brought it to me after they'd almost run it over.

[goldenlove3]

TheEleventhHour I would definitely report her!! When we were having issues with our mail delivery, we complained to the post office and things have gotten better.

sleepymonkey seriously?! Those people are aholes. Way to spread the holiday spirit.

My "boss" is on the list today. Someone forgot to brew another pot of coffee after they finished the pot (whatever), so she screamed through the entire office about it, then ran around slamming drawers and cabinets.

How hard is it to just make another pot yourself?

That's dumb. People love buying stuff for little kids. We're doing a giving tree this year, and almost everything for the 1 year old has been bought, but our poor 12 year old has only gotten half his stuff.

I've had packages thrown at my door, too. I was so ready to video and report that asshole.

Why are you working for a toddler?

This kept happening with our dishwasher over the summer. We ended up buying a new dishwasher because the amount we would have needed to pay in repairs wasn't much less than the cost of a new dishwasher.

Sorry, appliances suck.

This is the number one reason I am pro-keurig at work. Buy your own k-cups and no fights over the last cup.

[hydrangea1019]

TheEleventhHour in our apt the mail person would do the same thing! We lived on the third floor, so I have a feeling they didn't want to climb the stairs and risk a chance of us not being home, even though most of our packages were from Amazon and said on the box 'leave at door is customer isn't home'

I'd definitely complain. Hopefully it'll get better.

So basically this is your boss.

Damn good question.

[pismoduo]

Time to add my H to the list. He decided to cut out of work like an hour and a half after he got there because he's been spending too much time on the computer and his wrist hurts. I told him I had a bunch of stuff to do today that required me being physically present in the office (not to mention I'm either off or working remote for the last 2 weeks of the month...) and that I'd be home around my usual time.

He's already sent me a FB message asking if I'm coming home early. I know the next thing I hear from him is going to be bitching about not having anything for lunch (even though there's leftovers from last night in there). He always does this when he's home and I'm not. To contrast, I hardly talk to him during the day if I stay home sick and he's at work.

I am seriously considering getting a new one. This one is only 3 years old, but I'm convinced it's a lemon. I'm not paying another $175 because at that point I could have bought a brand new dishwasher.

[rooskie]

I'm on week 12 of being homeless at work. This weeks excuse is that they forgot to get electrical ran. Really?? I just want a mouse and a calculator.

I'm assuming it's not under a warranty anymore? I hope you can find a deal on a good one. We got ours through Lowe's for a pretty good deal that included free installation.

OMG STILL?! Sorry. I hope they get it together soon.
