paul (office manager): that ad belongs to Linda
sales rep: ohhhhh, that's Linda's
(I start banging my head against my desk)

me emailing back: artwork is very low-res, do they have a better version
email from sales rep: (same email, re-forwarded) is it better now
me emailing back: um.... nope

This is why i have headphones on with a boom mic next to my mouth. People think im on the phone or a skype call when they walk by. Though i just have it playing my itunes :D

I have found going out and driving around for 30min or whatever is a good way to blow off steam.

You should feel good, that your company hires the mentally challenged.

Hey Jason, aren't you supposed to stay on the east side? I say you on the 101 and Union Hills heading south around.......11:30-12:00 today! Are you coming over to the darkside/westside?

Wow.......although I can't say my day was much better in some aspects....

I mentioned I would not be attending the baseball game they got free tickets to as you can't bring guests.

They said, why can't you come solo?

Well, that is date night.

Aren't you married?

Yes......

Well, if you're married you don't go on dates.

Um......are you married?

Divorced. But you don't go on dates when you're married.

Oh, um, perhaps if you did something to keep the 'magic' alive, you would be still.....that's why we have date night.

Do you get ready separate and show up separate?

no.......

Oh, I get it, you guys go to the bar and you magically forget your wallet and he has to buy you a bunch of drinks to get laid!

Um, no, that isn't even something I did when I was single. I can pay for my own drinks and I wasn't a 'bar whore'.

Oh, then what do you do...

I have work to do, can we talk later?...I turn to a blank screen and concentrate hard on it...very hard...



Shannon - does your sales rep also work in the national guard????????

LOL I don't think you could take it. I have to hear these air guard guys bragging all day about how bad A. the air guard is...hmmmmmmm I guess it is a pretty cool feat to get to stay in the raddison instead of a tent....

lol only met one guy in a bar and didn't go home with him....probably shouldn't have married him 9 months later either :eek: ...Young dumb and full of ###..but at least I have a wonderful boy...it must skip generations on his dad's side!

I deal with people like this aswell all the time,,,


our Parts department is well HORRIBLE....

they cant seem to get the right parts the first time.. so I get on the parts computer... look up what I need... bill it to the RO ( repair order )
grab part, fix car. if the part isnt available.. I order next day...

its just faster and easier.. and the parts manager said you want a job... I said yeah.... you have 100K a year to pay me... he said no.. then I said nope... got a job that pays me close to 80K a year thanks anyhow..
