Quitting is unfortunately NOT logical at this point in life. If I had no bills..yes I would definately quit but lets think, shall we??

Car Payment
Car insurance
House Payment
Home Owners Insurance
Student loan #1
Student loan #2
Loan payment or sort
Phone/DSL
Sprint
Cable
Electric
Water
Gas
Garbage
Then of course gas for the car, food for the week, anything else needed to get by till the next check...

So..no..quitting is not an option without something to fall back on. I was just venting earlier bc...that's what we do in this thread, right? :o)

Rebuer, man I think that you and i need to start doing some therapy email sessions again. For those of you who don't know (and I don't expect you to) I worked at Target too. But I think Target is a large manifest representation of all the crapty situations that you are going to find in every job. I deal with clients everyday who want 16pt body text and poor pay, my coworkers get hung up on, and yelled at dealing with deadlines. A trashman comes home smelling like garbage. It's the working class. We get sh*t on. No one cares about us, nobody helps us...and they don't care if we drop dead at 1:30 in the middle of the office. They'll scrape up your body and drop in a fresh body. Long gone are the days when working people were contributors and souls, now we are labor, we are a quota, and we are the means to boost someone's raise from 10% to 13%. Bill Ulrich, particularly has sucked that company dry for personal gain. In the past 15 yrs target has dropped initiatives, pulled benefits, and cut hours, to maximize their wallet profits. They say it's about customer service, but they give a rat's ass. They expect loyalty hard work and overtime, without a kickback to their employees. Managers are put on salaries that don't include overtime, so they do as little as possible and take it out on the lower rung. The lower rung takes their frustrations out on the customers, who are fussy little bitches anyway.

that's my rant.

Top Ten Target Hates of the Moment:
1. when customers say...'Well I'll be doing my shopping at wal-mart then!' My response: boo-*****ing hoo
2. The temperature is controlled by the corporate offices in MN,...and I live in Missouri
3. Customers want to the know prices and inventory of other stores.
4. I am not an employee of Disneyworld, I'm not cheery, and I'm sure they aren't either.
5. Ulrich
6. Never having sales items in stock
7. Zoning half the store because the other person called in.
8. Everything is dirty
9. The lights give me migraines
10. There is never not reshop

Does anyone know where I can get some automatic weapons? Our sales reps are driving me from pacifism to ultraviolence. How come the limit on number of revisions doesn't apply to me. How come I have to stare at the same pancakeing piece for 6 months while the sales reps change their minds about what it should look like? An then they complain to me about why it's taking so long to finish the piece.

Couldn't have said it better PRF...I think my list is identical to yours. Hopefully the next job I get isn't quite as bad as what I'm in now, although I know there will be some parallels (hopefully no customers though).Not sure if the "just quit" remark was for my benefit or D-Zine's,but as shesaid, at this point in our lives for us non-high-school people we can't just "quit", even if it's a sh!t job like I got. If I quit, any other job of the same magnitude will start me off at $5.50 an hour...exactly what I started at Target. In some point in people's lives you can'tsimply quit (though it's pretty damn tempting to imagine blowing the bosses friggin' head off) even if it seems logical, in factthere are so many other variables that it makes it extremely illogical. Besides, isn't this the soap box? Let us b!tch.

haha. drunk posting is fun.

i've said that exact same thing before too, pd. it should be a national service type of deal. 1 month in the public service sector. i don't care if you're working retail or restaurant or picking up trash or customer service on the telephone. just something to make you understand that people in paper hats are still people. and 'please' and 'thank-you' make a HUGE difference to the amount of boogers in your food.

Posting drunk may be fun, but w/ a hangover is kinda painful, like right now. It's 12 noon here, but I feel like I just woke up at 6 in the a.m. with a vice cranked on my head, sand rubbed in my eyes, and a sore throat that makes eating food less comfortable.

But I got today off of work! even though they called and asked if I could come in...

Had a customer of a client of ours call me directly yesterday and try to cut out our client. She actually had the balls to say she wouldn't tell him. What a bitch!! No business ethics at all! Disgusting! Of course she has been screwing overour client for the past few months. Every quote he would give her she would take to his competitor to beat his price. Yesterday's BS was just icing on the cake. Needless to say she will be paying a little more for this sign this time!!! Our client and us decided that instead of telling her to stuff it we would clean her out for what we could! Of course she'll never know that bc she is dumb but Hee hee...take that bitch! http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/violent.gif

When you move in with your boyfriend/husband and you magically become his mother!!!!

Picking up socks in the living room every night, doing every single dish that lands on whatever table he was near last, making sure all the laundry is finished, expecially when 3/4's of it is all his cuz he only wears things once. When he comes to bed late becuase he's been playing playstation for an ubseen about of time and makes it a point to wake you up. When you make dinner for him, almost every night and when he gets home from work, there is now hi, how was your day, just complaining about the food somehow someway! I dumped his dinner in the garbage the last time he did that!!!

Yikes, Kink.

Sounds like he thinks that now that you're living together he doesn't need manners anymore. The thing is, once you're living together (or married, as the case may be) you need to make the effort to use TWICE as many manners.

And tell him that since he doesn't like your cooking, tomorrow's HIS turn to make dinner.

[D-Zine]

Good idea...you guys should take turns making dinner. I mean...YOU WORK TOO and you are just as tired as he is.

Cat and I make dinner together a lot of the time. It gives us a chance to talk and it takes about half as long getting things ready as it would if just one of us was working on it.

One thing that really makes me mad - and this doesn't reflect on Cat at ALL - is guys who think that housework (dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc) is 'women's work'. If you're both working OUTSIDE the house, you should both be working IN the house, too!

He of course is a 'sort of' friend. I just can't stand the fact that I have done so much crap for this guy and this is how we get treated. pancakeer!

no, no, he does cook too. I have to give him that... we cannot cook together though, Our styles of cooking and food mixtures are soo different that we end up fighting about something stupid... he usually ends up taking over what ever I am doing so I end up leaving.

He just doesn't have an imagination when it comes to cooking, and I do!

Case in point... tonight, he bought , you ready, Corn Beef.. to have sandwiches for dinner.... WTF...
One, I hate corn beef, and Two, who the hell eats just sandwiches for DINNER? Sorry, I really like food, and a lot of it! :)

We're still new at this, so soon, it'll come together...

Except when he spills a whold jug of grape koolaid in the fridge, tries to clean it up cuz I yelled at him and I still had to redo it. Everything is either purple or sticky and purple!

I have had it. The pancakeer didn't show up this weekend to pay us. Now he is saying tomorrow he will bring a check. I am sick and tired of being used. I really had it with ppl who take advantage of a friendship and then make a big deal that they don't want it to hurt the friendship. If you don't you pancakeer do the right thing the first time around. This guy is the biggest pancakeer! He took his girlfriend to a Casino over the weekend and then brings her flowers today. But he can't give us a god damn payment. I should steal the pancakeing flower and give them to my girlfriend! If he doesn't pay me tomorrow I am going to snap. I am so mellow and hate confrontation but I hate *******s worse! Either way he is going CIA from now on. If he doesn't like it he can go pancake himself. I have waited nicely for two months for a damn payment of any sort. Yet nothing. I have nicely reminded him. Asked him to sit down and discuss it and still nothing. I just don't understand how it is that someone who is supposed to be a business owner who can't stand not getting paid on time turns around and screws us. I know he has the god damn money bc he has been working a roofing job part time at 15 bucks an hour. I am not asking for that much pancakeing money! Just pay us and settle up! DO THE RIGHT pancakeING THING!!!!!!!

Is that for me then, cuz that's what you owe me *******.'

He payed me soon after.

Yeah, I know. I am going to tell him that he is CIA from now on and that will piss him off. He is also going to have to change the way he deals with giving us work. No more little bits at a time. He is going to have to collect all the crap himself and then we'll quote a price for him on the whole thing. He will then have to get us 100% up front before we start work. I am not dealing with the crap anymore. If we don't get money...he doesn't get product. Plain and simple. He is going to hate that because he never has money. He'll have to find a way to deal with it. That or move on and find another sucker. He'll end up going back to having crap for artwork and no other way of doing it. Thanks for the advise Magnus!

I taught myself Quenya from lotr (yup, I'm a geek) and translated my name into Quenya.

My name means 'dark one' - morea (More-ay-uh)- the place in the movie (if I remember right) is moria (More-ee-ah), which means 'dark place'. Same root word.

I've actually translated over 100 names into quenya, and even done some elven marriage certificates for some equally obsessed friends of mine.

Sorry if any are repeats.

Being someone else's scapegoat. Like my step dad's. I'm so glad to be out of that hell finally.

People who park on the red curb because they're too lazy to walk 20 feet from a marked parking spot. Lately at work (in a bank) I've been on a campaign to convince the managers that we should call the cops on the people who park in the red out front and leave their cars. Apparently you can get arrested/fined for doing that in front of a bank.

Customers who think they know how to do your job or how your company runs.

Dog diarehhea. Nasty sh*t.

The fact that we shower illegals with free healthcare and benefits and here I am a working student who would have no healthcare if it wasn't for mommy and daddy.

Import tuners who do a crappy job customizing their cars with the same crap every other tuner uses.

People who don't save their money and then freak out when they can't pay their rent.

Smokers.

Emeril Lagasse.

People who call and can't bother to leave a message.

People who misdial and end up calling my cell phone.

Chondromalacia and the retarded doctors who tell you to suffer through it.

Me for putting so much thought into my answers. I sure sound like a whiner, don't I?

[morea]

Hey! I have chondromalacia too. My doctor told me, 'well, we could try surgery, but it probably won't make it any better. In fact, it might actually make it worse!'

What do you call the guy who finishes last in his med school class with a borderline passing GPA?
Yup - 'doctor'.

Oh yeah?! The nim wit finally paid us 100 bucks out of the pancakeing 400 he owes us. Now it will probably be months until we see the rest. Guess when he comes to us next week to do the next set of ads for his newpaper coupon page he'll be nicely surprised that he is CIA. I sent him a letter so he'll know but he is dumber than a box of rocks so I am sure he'll argue about it. CIA or nothing, bitch!


Here's a thought...have you thought about asking him for collateral? Tell him 'Hey I understand if you don't have the $400 you owe me and it may be a while longer before you are able to pay me but if that's the case, I need to at least get some collateral from you to hold on to until you do pay me.' Get something from him worth $400+ and hold on to it for a week or two then take it to a pawn shop or sell it. Pancake him!

If that doesn't work, try small claims court. The threat of legal action can be a bitch of a motivator. Is this guy an actual company or just an individual you do work for? If he owns a company tell him you're going to file a complaint with the better business bureau. He really won't like that.

First of all this guy doesn't own anything worth $400 bucks. I don't even think his pancakein' car is worth that much! ha! I got a little money out of him and it will shut me up for about a week. Then I'll start pushing again. I sent him a letter outlining some changes to how we were going to do business in the future. Stuff like getting all his crap together before coming to us and CIA. Also rush charges and setting up business appointments. Stuff we should have done from the start. I never heard a peep so I am thinking he isn't really going to be doing much business anymore. He actually took a construction job because his business tactics suck! Can't imagine why he didn't make any money? ha! He has a legit business so those threats could come about. Not an area I want to step into but sometimes enough is enough. Thanks for the input!!

Working in retail during the holiday shopping seasonjerks my chain. It's about as much fun as getting the skin sandblasted off my face while simultaneously...er...nevermind, it's graphic.

This is the time of year when IQs drop and tempers flare over material goods. I think it's high time to develop concentration/death camps for these kinds of ignorant Christmas shoppingpeople and wipe their genes from the gene pool once and for all. I could write a comedic book about the people I dealt with tonight alone. I'm really looking forward to a week from Friday...the day after Thanksgiving working in Electronics.http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/specool.gif

Ah yes, 'Black Friday.' I remember being a fifteen year old and working at Wal Mart on that day; I had no clue retail was that way the day after thanksgiving. I vividly recall walking into the doors of work that day and simply dropping my jaw at the lines. Fortunately I never had to work retail again.

Or people that b!tch and threaten to boycott a store because they don't"support" the Salvation Army...just because there isn't some fatass sitting in front of the store ringing a bell all goddamn day. For one, these are the same peoplewho probably do not donate anything themselves because it's inconvenient for their lifestyle, but when a company that has done it for so long decides not to for one year, suddenly they're the f'cking anti-christ. Secondly, since when does giving stuff for free considered "support"? And third, there was a mass mailing about how Target doesn't "support" the Salvation Army via e-mail, and like a bunch of lemmings these people go in to shop only to tellthem that they're not shopping there anymore...although I guarantee they'll be shopping the day after Thanksgiving (smoothed that one off pretty good).


Yup, people are stupid (it's not evil, just the truth that few admit). If you're a stupid person there should be restrictions on what you can do(i.e. shopping, driving a car, talking) and where you can go (i.e. "anywhere").


That and old people driving. I was stuck behind some old fogey on the highway doing 40 mph...if it were a four lane then it would be no big deal, but this was a 30 mile stretch of bullsh!t. I swear old people drive slow as one big conspiracy to piss off all of us young people...if anything they should be driving fast so they can live life quicker before they decide to pass on and put the rest of us out of our misery.

College freshmen. They think that once they've crossed the barrier from high school to college, that suddenly the three month hiatus from school has suddenly made them smarter and more "enlightened", and therefore in their first few semesters of college they will spout of all of their opinions on everything, and I mean EVERYTHING...even to the point when they try talking down those of us who have over a hundred credit hours of knowledge under our belt, but when they do that I bash their forehead into the sidewalk and slam a shovel on the back of their head.http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/devil.gif Listening to them assert their opinions is a hilarious endeavor, but unfortunately when you try to calmly tell them that they're wrong and show them proof, they'll still be insistent that they're right. Other symptoms of these douchebags are those who use words that aren't normally in their vocabulary (anybody that says "avant garde" is a communist) and are pretentious to the point that they'll bash a movie as awesome as "Kingpin" just because Woody Harrelson is in it, but will praise a piece of crap like "The Matrix Anything". The ones in the graphics department were the worst, and unfortunately because I was a transfer I had to spend nearly all of my junior year classes with these jerks; they all would spout design theory and opinions they have on what is good design, but when it came time to projects there stuff either A) Wasn't done (go figure), B) A piece of crap that I could have done in ten minutes, or C) Has some really cool effects that really do nothing to help the message the piece communicates and therefore makes the three all nighters that it took to do that worthless.


These people will hold back a teachers lesson plan a full week within the first month because they'll make a big deal out of everything, just because that suddenly they have more responsibility that they have to act like that everyone else cares about their problems or opinions. But you'll see the true color of these people when you find them later in the semester not getting projects done, and making asses of themselves in class by going to far in the overopinionated department when someone finally tells them to shut the hell up. People don't spend so much on tuition to listen tokids thatare only three months removed from high school give their opinions; let the teacher teach, idiot. I was a college freshman, and I sure as hell wasn't like this.

OK, my other pet grievance (just like everyone else's) : People who drive at 40 everywhere. 60 zone, 30 zone, motorway, funeral cortege. it makes no bloody difference to them - it's 40 everywhere. How can I put this nicely? LEARN TO DRIVE! *fume*

That happens to me all the friggin' time! I have a long commute too, and they drivelike the very light curves are friggin' hairpins that they have to drop down 30 mph to make it and when they get on the damn stretch there still doing like fifty...until it turns into a three lane with the fast lane on your side and suddenly it's goddamn Nascar and they feel they've gotta hammer down at 90 mph so you can't pass thembefore the three lane merges to two and then they slow back down. It doesn't help that the route I drive is pretty much blind curves that make it damn near impossible to pass. And I hate it when they merge into the inside of a turn on a three way as though it's stillNascar especially when they don't use their friggin' turning signal, like I can read their mind as to when they are going to switch lanes. And also the one's who draft &amp; tailgate you so there's less "wind resistance" for them and in turn theygain a minute amount of gas and piss me off more. And don't get me started on tractors, semis, school buses (the most corrupt *******s on the road; anyone else get a bullsh!t schoolbus violation ticket that was unjust?)andthe geriatric.

'You want it when? Ok, no problem. Excuse me while I pull the magic wand out of my ass!'

[Neuro]

Ok I have to let this out...
I have had it with work. Things have finally started to pick up and we are busy. That's good. Sure beats being bored. There are three of us in the department. All of us have a specific group of tasks for the week and have to make sure we get those done each day. Again, this is good and very organized. Now here is the issue. Two of us work our asses off to get our stuff done. But then there is number three. The laziest mother pancakeer I have ever seen. Now normally you would think that an employer would notice this speak to him, give him warnings, write him up and then fire him if need be. Oh no, not here. Here they get all the way to the second to last part and they freak. They freak because the individual is hinting at discrimination issues. He is homosexual and practices the religion that makes him a Druid. Neither of which I have any issue with, expect for the fact that he flaunts his homosexuality out there for everyone to know. He flaunts his religion too. He is arrogant and has an amazing need for attention. All of which make it interesting to work with him but not impossible. There are many other 'stories' he has told us about his life that we wonder are if true. Basicly long story short he is an annoying and strange character. Because of his sexual and religious preferences he has made my employer nervous about pursuing termination for his lack of work ethic. He has hinted at law suits on different occasions. Of course I expect an employer to be nervous about such a possible threat but it has become quick sand. Now my employer has asked US to go out of our way and be nice to the individual. I personally was even asked if I had a personal problem with him. WTF...so now someone thinks that I am Homo-Phobic!!? This is BS!! He has asked us to watch what we say and do so he doesn't have ammo against us. Of course this angered me to the point of almost quiting but what really ticks me is the fact that he still does minimal work, never offers to help us out with anything but we are expected to ask him if he needs help, pick up his slack to keep us moving forward. He continues to score unsatisfactory production scores. He bad mouths his boss and his coworkers. My coworker and I that do our jobs can't say anything about his lack of effort because if we do the first thing we are told is that it is being handled and that we have to not be on a witch hunt. The pancakeing slacker has the whole department catering to him. But the ultimate one was when I was talking to a member of the marketing team at my cubie and my boss comes over and tells me that I have to break it up because we are backed up with Art...which is his pancakeing responsibility that day. He tells me that after I have already done MY work and my good coworkers because she was off. I have done two ppl jobs already and now I am being asked to do a THIRD!!! WTF! Well that resulting in my going to my bosses office and letting him have it. Anywhere else I probably would have been fired on the spot for some of the things I said. Luckily he knows me better than to take it to heart. When I confronted him about what he did and told him that I KNEW what he did was to only cause a specticle for the god damn slacker to see, he only had this to say...'I can't dispute that and I don't have a problem with what you were doing!' So now more than ever it has been made clear that he has control.

So the point of this is I CAN'T STAND PPL WHO USE THERE SEXUAL PREFERENCE AND RELIGIOUS BELIEFS TO MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM because of threating a law suit. Its complete bullcrap. It is totally appalling. I have absolutely no issue that he is gay and a druid. I have an issue that he is using that to manipulate the system. A system that may lose the two good workers because it has become so out of control. ARGH!!!!

Whew...feel a bit better.

Man, your bosses must be some major whussys. I mean come on! All they have to do is document everything he does wrong for a few weeks and make sure they have legitimate reasons to fire him. I really doubt this jerk will sue anybody. Lawyers don't usually do discrimination cases on contingency. The cases are too hard to prove and the payouts are generally small even if they do win. So this ******* will have to actually put up the money to hire one. Even if he does, fighting something like this is just part of doing business. /emoticons/cool.gif

PATRICK'S PET PEEVES: THE XMAS EDITION

How holiday-oriented radio stations (especially satellite radio) cannot stop playing Xmas songs featuring the Chipmunks, or Xmas songs sung by synthasized barking dogs, meowing cats, croaking frogs, or goo-gooing babies.

My job.

When you're sitting at a left turn lane for a LOOONG time because oncoming traffic just won't halt, and the idiot behind you starts honking (I actually gave a person a fright as a teenager when I snapped over this and got out of my vehicle and approached their car. They peeled away.)

How people you loan things to never seem to return them.

Fair-weathered friends that get involved with some woman and never call you anymore (meow, whip, snap).

My job.

That damned 'Milk Shake' song (thank god they've stopped playing that on the radio).

Parents who throw their disinterested children into my fitness center fencing classes as a 'temporary day care' while they go work out.

Those guys dressed in Santa suits that ring the bell in front of stores (not their cause I hate, it's just how they seem to stare at you and burn a whole through your head as you approach the store, making you feel obligated to give them something. The bell also gets on your nerves, especially if you happen to have a headache).

My job.

Waiting for packages to come in the mail.

How every LCD product seems to come with dead pixels, then companies covers their butt by saying that 'dead pixels are a normal occurance of production.' (Why can't they get it right? And why haven't more products switched over to the brighter, more reliable, cost effective OLED yet?)

People in dance clubs who think they're cool by dancing on top of tables and stages high above the crowd.

Did I mention my job?

[Neuro]

Ok, I am home now so I can respond some more. I agree with everyone. My higher-ups are pancakeers! They are spineless, ballless cowards. I ride with my 'good' coworder to and from work and all we do is rant and vent about the crap that happened from the day or what we are going to have to deal with. It's funny because we both get instantly pissed off as soon as we see his car in the parking lot. I know she won't do it but I have tried to convince her that we should both walk for a minimal of a week. Let the department come to a halt. There is no one else in that building that can do what we do. I would have pulled this personally myself but then she would have to do all the work. We are both 'friends' with our boss and both feel that this has become out of control. We both want to pull him aside as 'friends' and tell him he sucks. It's so hard to watch what is going on.
So like I said to Kool they nailed him again. Think anything happened? Oh hell no! He was spoken to from what we saw but we don't know anything else. He might have been written up but how much can he possibly be written up for?!! So he continued his bullcrap the rest of the day and then comes up to each of us at 2:15 when he leaves at 2:30 to see if we have anything for him to help with. I snapped at him and told him that 'I' didn't help and that the backlog was with her work. She was so pissed at his timing that she said no too! Ha! What a pancakeing loser!
Oh and to top it off the man STINKS! Seriously the guy smells horrible. He actually has an amazing ability to stink up the whole office! So several coworkers in marketing, Customer service and even my good coworker have gotten the air fresheners with the little fans in them. Thank god!!!
I have also come to the conclusion that if they want to write me up for being on here during the day...pancake em! I hope they do. I hope they do it. Really I do. Give me an excuse to explode and tell my boss that he sucks, leave his office and then walk up the the stinky pancakeer and tell him that he is a worthless piece of crap! He is so worthless he doesn't even deserve to be called crap! crap is too good of a title! crap smells better too!!

The **** who stood at the bus-stop outside my office drinking a bottle of lager at bloody 2 in the afternoon because he thought it made him look 'ard to his mates, and then just put the empty bottle on the pavement as he got on the bus, even though there was a bin all of five feet away! Stupid, ignorant, small-minded, inconsiderate, jumped-up, parrot-faced, numb-nutted little wassock!

It's bad enough that it just makes the place look a mess, but I have a three year old son and it pisses me off to see broken beer bottles lying around on the street where children can seriously hurt themselves. Why is it so fecking hard to use the bin? Twats.

If I just had a sniper's rifle. Or a cricket bat.

I absolutely HATE IT when things don't go the way I expect them to! /emoticons/violent.gif

I got up this morning (6:00, joy of joys) and took the creamer out of the refrigerator for my coffee. Well, the blasted thing slipped right out of my hand and exploded all over the floor. I wiped it up with damp paper towels but realized that my shoes were sticking to the linoleum every time I took a step. So (since I was running a few minutes early) I hurriedly filled the sink with soapy water and mopped up the mess on the floor.

Then I remembered that it started to sleet around midnight and I would need extra time to get to work. (Inclimate weather should not be allowed when I already have to leave an hour and a half before my scheduled shift begins.) It's supposed to sleet all day long and get worse as the day progresses. That means that my drive home is also going to suck. I don't get the snow tires on the car until tomorrow morning.

Cat's dad had borrowed our 2nd car because his had gone to the big carport in the sky, so Cat has been getting rides to work with a friend of ours. We are supposed to pick the car up tonight (in Saratoga). I commute from Glens Falls to Albany and back every day, and Saratoga is about half way in between. Cat was going to get a ride to Saratoga with a coworker who drives back and forth from Albany to Glens Falls every day, since it would be on his way. That coworker has to work late, so I'm going to have to drive from Albany to Glens Falls, then back to Saratoga and back to Glens Falls. That adds ANOTHER hour of driving time to my commute! GAK!!!! Stupid things like that shouldn't be allowed to cut into my Friday night recovery-by-beer time. /emoticons/violent.gif

He has his studio here in chanhassen MN, meet him quit a few times, my cuz used to work for him, been to alot of parties he had at his studio, all the post you see here about crappy bosses that is prince rolled into one.

Cuz if your in Orlando your not going to hear what you would hear living by him.

Sorry cant even give him credit for being a performer, its like supporting an a-hole and why would you do that, but to each his own.

ripped off artwork from a few people that worked for him, well somestill do work for him many others quit, got pissed for people quitting to go to school and then bannning them from the studio, talking crap behind backs, well not go into his work ethic or the way he treats poeple, but dont look at him in the eyes keep your head down

[reuber1]

I hear that Prince is kinda weird &amp; a$$holish. I heard that when Trent Reznor of NIN was starting off back in 1990, he unexpectedly bumped into Prince at a studio and said "Hi" and Prince just blew by him without saying anything. Forget Prince, give me some "Morris Day and the mother f'ckin' Time".

Getting reamed by bosses because you didn't get advertisement signs setup the week prior to the ad, even though this entire holiday season that I've been in electronics I have been the ONLY one in electronics, and somehow I have to get every pancakeing thing done (hey, that's where "pancakeing" comes from) while I'm at the counter from prepping adsigns to prepping TPC signs to pulls to reshop to cleaning to pleasing the district manager because she's an anal bitcheven though every five minutes I have to show some illitirate dipsh!t how to use a digital camera because they're willing to make a $300 purchase without doing their research ("Tell me all you know about digital cameras because I know nothing about them". Happens at least three times a day, and up to 30-40 times a day about any product in general.). This just happened earlier in the week. I was recently promoted as the electronics specialist, and I'm being dumped all of the signing sh!t to do with zero help, and last week we were busier than hell with a forty page ad to sign, 10 pages of it being my department, but instead of being staffed more instead I had to spend four days prepping the ad and I still didn't get it done. You would think that even onBlack Fridayafter our electronics department had the third highest sales in the pancakeing company they would give us more than one person during the week, but no, let's put me through more stress than I can deal with and drain me of any energy so that when I get off work I have zero desire to do anything else. I promised myself that I'd have a graphic design job before this holiday season so I wouldn't have to work it again, but what do you know, I'm still here.

I went ballistic and tracked down the accountant. He looked at me and said 'well there's enough there to cover your mortgage'. You pancakeing what!!!!!!!!

Christmas really brings out the A-hole in people. I used to work at a grocery store that sold Christmas trees in December. We would order 100 or so trees and I swear 65 or more would be stolen. Nothing gets you in the spirit of giving more than STEALING a Christmas tree. How can you face your children when you do something like that. You know the kids are in the car with the guy asking 'daddy, when are you gonna pay for our tree'.

I didn't get a Christmas bonus this year. They didn't tell us anything like 'Guys, sales are down and we won't be giving out bonuses this year' or anything. It usually comes in September because our fiscal year ends July 31, but September came and went without a word from the bosses. Ugh. Oh well.

I hear you, Jason! Last year we found a note by the time clock that basically told us that in lieu of Xmas bonuses we would all be receiving a turkey. Then the week before Xmas the note was changed to read, "We will not be providing Xmas turkeys for employees. Happy holidays". Uh huh... that's the 'spirit of giving' for you!

I find that this is one of the WORST times of year for something as simple as common courtesy. People drive like maniacs and push people out of their way to get the hottest toys. Maybe I just notice it more because everyone says that this is the 'most wonderful time of the year' http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/emoticons/dry.gif

Bad manners. There's nothing I hate more than bad manners. Ingratitude especially annoys me. Like when you hold a door for someone, and they just breeze straight past as if it was your duty to be nice to them.

I also especially dislike people who always interrupt you. Or people who have to join in conversations and talk over everyone else until they've said what they want to say -- and usually, no one really wanted to hear it.

I'm going to add onto the flip side of this one...

I hate when you're talking to several people and you keep trying to add your two cents into the conversation, and some dingbat keeps intercepting you right as you open your mouth. (Most often times, others see you're trying to say something, but ignore you.)

'Wel...' (someone starts talking) 'I th....' (blah blah blah) etc.

Then when you finally get your word in, what you were going to say was over four topics old. Then if you try and interrupt someone to finally speak, you get accused of being rude for interrupting.

3] an internet service provider named e-speed ... that's clearly NOT

4] shop personel who say 'finish lah, tomorrow lah' when i know it's a 80% chance they never had the product in the first place [and tomorrow never comes]

5] clients who believe text messaging is the latest method in ordering up new designs.

... there's more, but i'm off to a dinner i do not want to go to as i'm full up with xmas fixings from two days worth already and there is too much more to come ... don't you just hate that?

I can't believe this BS. There is absolutely no work today and my boss comes to me and says I can leave 'without pay.' Screw that! Why should I have to leave and not get paid if this pancakeing place can't supply me with work. I know it's slow this time of year but why should I get screwed pay wise. It's not like they give us a damn bonus that could cover if I left. An appalling $30 gift cert to the mall. The god damn mall!! It's not even a descent one. Geeze! My GF, Morea, got a better bonus and she has only worked there for a few months. They gave her the certificates to a bunch of different places for about 30 miles around. All nice places and not chain places. It was even more in the amount. It's really disgusting how they treat us here. Now they think I'll go home without pay?! pancake that! I'll stay and play on the computer. That's all I would do if I left. Might as well make them pay me for it!

By the way happy freakin' holidays!! Argh!

I know how that it...it is completely dead here too. I have to look busy, otherwise the employers will notice I'm dead and put me on stupid tasks like folding stuff or cleaning some shelf out. What's even worse is that the boss's son keeps walking by my desk (I've had to command/tab twice since jumping on this forum a few minutes ago, go sit down, dingbat!), so goofing off on the net has been difficult. I'd even go home without pay at this point, we shouldn't be working today (I said that on Thursday, but Thursday seemed to have a little more activity than today).

I'm at my dads...atleast out of Atlanta, which BTW left alot to be desired. There was ONE great thing that came outta being there but that's about it. I couldn't WAIT to get the phuck outta there and to my dads house. Now I'm at my dads and is it just me or is his wife like the pickiest person I have EVER met?? I guess she's just not...my mom. This holiday has been a complete emotional roller coaster of hell and I'm glad its phuking over.

I DID enjoy the good things that happened tho :o)

People who say, 'see ya next year'
I have heard this probably over 100 times in the past week, 40-50% percent said to me and then just hearing it from other people to other people.
