Work

Everyone has something about work they gripe about. I am not immune. Here's just a few things that really grind my gears. 

Workin hard for the monies, so hard for the monies. 

I work at call center full of college aged kids. Other than the office manager everyone here is about 30 years old or younger. I think the youngest one here is 18. Young but still adults (I use the term "adults" here loosely and you will see why). Everyone here also lives on their own away from their parents. Now, we have the privilege of having a kitchen in our office that is routinely stocked by our office manager with things for us to eat and drink while we work. What a perk right? What blows my mind is that these "adults" I work with do not clean up after themselves. It would be one thing if there was just some trash here and there that they didn't throw away, but having that kitchen means we have a sink and dishes. Who in this world that is clearly revolving around you do you think is going to clean your nasty dirty dishes that you leave in the sink? I doubt even your mom would let you leave that kind of mess without saying something. Not only do these "adults" leave their filthy dishes for the whole office to see how much better they think they are than the rest of us, but all the jars and bread bags are still out on the counter open with peanut butter and jam all over the place. Are we five years old? Seriously? It's as if there is some kind of office gremlin that loves making a mess to piss me off. Sounds like someone complaining about their roommates right? Yeah well I AM AT WORK! I'm not even gonna go into how the water jugs in the fridge are ALWAYS empty (yes I fill them up, and I'm pretty sure I am the only one who ever does). That will send me over the edge.

WTF!? Do your dishes!!

Found under "arrogant" in Webster's

You know, I was honestly considering the possibility of an office gremlin. I could totally see that little spawn of Satan running around acting like a pompous snob. He's probably that same sneaky scoundrel who doesn't flush the toilet. (Everyone knows he exists because no one ever admits to not flushing, so he's gotta be real) I had too much respect for these people to actually believe they could be so arrogant and inconsiderate as to leave messes for others to clean up. Then I noticed just what kind of people that I work with. I've noticed several people that seem to have unlimited break time. Maybe they used a game genie to unlock the free break time cheat. ... or maybe they are related to a supervisor. These people also seem to be able to come and go as they please. 

"OK so today I wanna get to work ten minutes late, but when I get there I am going to set my computer to break so and leave for an hour. After that I will work for an hour (of which I will watch Grey's Anatomy on Netflix because even though we are not allowed to view videos at work I like to risk my job for Grey and her Anatomy) but after that hour I'm leaving. I'm scheduled to work 6 hours like everyone else but you know what? I'm special so I get to do what I want and no one says anything." - yes this actually happened yesterday. And if you ever read this, it was noticed by everyone in the room.


People think they are sneaky here, but they aren't. They are just never punished. So yeah I could totally see people like Grey's Anatomy leave messes and never fill up water jugs. After all if they aren't even accountable for their full shift of work what makes them accountable for anything else here?
