Whatever

@OneGiraffe
Working on my evaluation to send my supervisors. How do I spell out I can do your job that you can't do?
- Need to be more plain but.
- One bad MFer who gets his shit done that nobody else can do or tackle, everyone above and below want their work checked by him lol. Shit don't work without him.
Ugh I hate these. Rant over, teleworking not helping either.

 

Morning folks

What don't you know?

Feel free not to answer, but did you ever get the drama with the evil stepmother settled?

Also, sorry to hear you can't get your daughter into counseling right now. Maybe you could find a support group in the meantime? My niece had pretty bad ticks related to stress years ago so I'll keep my fingers crossed your daughter is the same. She's almost 17 now and will still get eyebrow twitches when she gets stressed but it's minimal. I don't know why kids seem to get them all the time now but it seems like a thing to me. I guess I used to crack my knuckles and roll my wrists all the time... Probably along the same lines as today's ticks.

Keep your chin up and thanks for your service through this time.

 

You frequently go above and beyond your duties to get the work done without being requested and with little supervision?

Lol... I feel your pain. I've written my own reviews for 10 years (it's our thing at work). Let me go look back and see. I am sure I've written some crafty shit in the past.

 

Thanks yeah. No worries I'm use to it too. I've had 5 new supervisors the last 5 years. All scared to work. So they run to a new job ha ha. I'm mostly just venting as I know we share this common annoyance lol.

 

Yeah, I think my biggest conflict in the past is having managers who have zero skill set or background in the work and then trying to come in and act like they do. Like, enjoy your job as a figurehead and rely on the rest of us to get the work done. I once got in trouble from my boss for putting together a training session in an area I used to work in because the supervisor and lead had asked for my help. I did it, got some appreciation on an internal platform and my boss was like wtf is this for?

Right now we're going through org shifts which is all good since I've stopped caring, but now my coworker is technically my boss which is funny as hell. I am guessing she must make slightly more than me which is why she is "promoted" in the interim (she is my equal). Thankfully for her, it would be an excellent career move and I don't require management to do my work. I am however usually the one to give her advice on working with folks so the fact that she's now my boss sort of cracks me up. C'est la vie

 

Morning everyone!

 

Ugh thats annoying, nothing like watching someone get a dummy promotion then coaching their ass through all the challenges. Ugh

 

So, it was my grandparent's 50th anniversary. Grandma leans over and coyly asked Grandpa
"Wanna go upstairs and celebrate?"
Grandpa said "Choose one or the other woman. I ain't got the energy to do both"
So they ended up making love on the sofa downstairs. Which I thought was kinda romantic.
Really upset the hotel manager though

Good morning Whateverers

 

Morning Jim. Did you and wifey have a good evening? I think I overindulged a bit and didn't want to get out of bed this morning.

 

Shoulda got a Toyoda.

 

@Schwartz

 

Or.... ya know.... just not backed a 53' trinity trailer into it.... lol

 

53' trailer? Hot damn that's long.

 

That's what she said

 

Standard classA trailer length. Majority of them are 53'
Save it for the double, triples, or over width stubbys.

 

Hi Tiffany!

Same here. Been overindulging quite a lot since the Covid-19 thing started.

We had a really nice and quiet afternoon and evening! Finally warming up here so pool is getting fired up today. Should be swimming by Friday so looking forward to that!

How are you and Rob doing? Still packing for the move? Things really got in the way of you guys executing your move I bet? Are realtors even taking listings and showing homes in your area? There's a house up the street from us that was listed and sold all since end of March so it appears that at least up here they can. Thought I read somewhere that realtors in some places were not even allowed to show homes though so curious.

 

Well my sis n laws oldest got tested for the rona yesterday she’s 17. Negative for strep and the flu

 

Lucky! My sister nearby has a pool, but I don't think it's warm enough yet to go swimming and with my BIL's job I don't think we're quite ready to go out and hang in close proximity to them. Plus, he sleeps during the day right now so coming over to work poolside with my sis is probably not the wisest option since we get loud together lol.

We're doing so far, still packing and purging which has started to get more and more difficult. We have stuff that should really go to donation or yard sale but we can't do either of those things right now so we're sitting on piles of stuff we don't want, but also don't want to trash. I think I will start posting up some "free" curbside items on nextdoor to keep things local. My understanding right now is houses are still selling in our area and the list to sell by date has actually decreased in the past month (around 77 days if I recall correctly). Showing the house is either done virtually or by appointment only, no open houses (totally understandable).

Right now our biggest hurdle is finishing up a few outside repairs and improvements as well as getting a painter out here to put a fresh coat of paint on the house before we can list. We have a friend going stir crazy so we may take him up on his offer to help move some gravel over the weekend . He's the only person we know who has been good through the SIP so we can at least feel relatively safe none of us are sharing things unintentionally with one another.
