Bursitis in your shoulder, just guessing. Advil would work better.

Advil is ibuprofen. Thanks, Doc.

2, The way some people drive out here, it's going to be their last Summer vacation ever.
I've been having this complaint for years. I'm starting to think that road tests are becoming so much easier that it's almost like getting your driver's license from a box of cereal. People really have no clue on the roads anymore.
My complaint (you knew I'd have one): I pulled something or wrenched the muscles by my shoulder blade so badly that it's triggered the trigger point and pain is shooting down my arm. No, it's not a stroke coming on (though, my stresses at work would disagree with that). I did this by simply raising my arm to wash my hair in the shower last Friday - the pain was in my neck/shoulder only until I woke up with this yesterday morning. I've been taking ibuprofen and it helps, but if I wake up with this again tomorrow, it's time for the doctor...and I have golf tournaments coming up. :censored:

job satisfaction. if you're not happy where you are, move on. life is way too short to spend x number of years not liking the job or company. i did that for almost 5 years. the day i quit, it felt like there was a weight lifted off my shoulders that was indescribably awesome. the day i started my new job was even better.
if ya ain't happy, bail.
Completely agree on that. What I enjoy about my current job is that I can pretty much come & go whenever I want and I'm comfortable with knowing the network that people can come to me for answers - yes, the power is cool.
However, that does pale in comparison a bit to the BS we've all been dealing with and how we can't seem to get what we need, while everyone else gets what they want. My boss hates her job and makes sure everyone knows it, too. The morale is pretty much as low as it can get...even the quiet/low-key people are complaining.

Trying to decide if I should jump from a state job. State employee layoffs are coming (I have little doubt) and even though I have no idea if my position is targeted, I applied for a similar job with an up-and-coming company. The politics of this place suck and it's clear nobody I work with is very happy here anymore. But if I can survive the layoffs, the long-run benefits are worth it.
:mellow:

You have my condolences.
Losing a loved one trumps anything I've got today.
Same here. My condolences, Corp. Even though it was her time, it's hard to lose a loved one. The same thing happened with my grandmother.

This week can't go fast enough for me. Warm temps forecasted for the weekend and I'm sitting here at work. I know there's a chance for thunderstorms, but I'm pumped about hitting the links all three days this weekend.

I knew it had to happen eventually, but my 4 month old car finally has it's first wound. Idiot woman rear ended me on the way to work and then just took off. It's nothing more than some minor scratches and a cracked reflector, but still, I would have liked to see that for myself before giving her the free pass. But hey, I did get a "hey, my bad" wave from her right as she drove off.
It doesn't mean she shouldn't stop.

Rain, rain go away and bring a drought to the north east today. ... till at least sept.
Seriously. I was fortunate enough to have my annual golf trip last week when there was good weather and that I don't play again until Saturday (though my Monday league was rained out).
Complaint: I never want to be in management. I've watched my current boss go from a good, respectable fellow employee (as 2nd in charge of our unit) to completely disorganized and unreasonable once our old boss left. I don't know what does that to people - perhaps it's the political BS you have to deal with or the constant pressure from others - but I want no part of it.
Just give me a firewall to install and I'll handle it from there. Someone else can handle the project management piece of it.

well if you dont do the write up etc they dont feel important, they dont understand ###### about what your doing but need to feel they are in the know. In the meantime it will take you 1/10th of the time that you will take writing it up and educating them to do the damn job :wallbash: :wallbash:
Bingo. The problem comes in where I'm the one person in my unit (outside of my manager) who understands best how to communicate with people and what should be done for certain processes. I don't think they realize that I'm also an engineer and don't want anything to do with being in charge.
The other problem is that our old boss retired almost three years ago and my current boss hates being the one in charge. Of course, the old boss' position never got re-filled, so my current boss is the one holding the bag and has to do all of the paperwork crap. She knows I hate that with a passion, but it's her immediate supervisor that wants me in on this stuff. Upper mgmt is trying to turn the techie/engineer guys into half project manager, half engineer. Meanwhile, there would be nobody left doing the real work.
-
I think I have officially become my new company's bitch. I hope they hire some random people so I can move up the ladder a bit.
I feel like that now, even though I've been here for 4+ years.
My boss' boss wants me to start doing the paper-pushing for small projects that I'm handling. I want to upgrade/install the firewall, not write up the proposal, tell upper mgmt what this is about and why we have to do it, and arrange meetings for it.

I want to point out that the JD Syrup has been systematically taking its revenge on me all day long, Montezuma style. :bag:
Thanks for showing us all what not to do. :thumbsup:

It's an old saying at work (and gets pretty tiresome when I keep hearing it), but it's 100000000% true...
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
So many people I work with don't realize that our unit needs to be involved in projects (even some stupid project managers) that when it comes time for our work to be done - a day before the deadline - we get these losers walking up to our desks and asking us to drop everything and give them network access so they can complete their part of the project.

I have a solution to this one. Don't pay so much attention to Justin Bieber.
Which is what we should be doing to Charlie Sheen.

When will this sh*t ever end?
Our government is stalling on passing a budget (they're off by what...a million dollars??) and threatening to shut down until this is done. All because a bunch of rich, greedy politicians don't like our President. It's probably not that simple, but jeez. This is going to affect a friend of mine who's married with 4 kids - he'll end up furloughed for however long this takes and may not even get back pay. Meanwhile, these same idiots will be wining and dining at the classiest, most expensive restaurants in Maryland while he & his wife scrape out the bottom of the peanut butter jar.
This is worse than the NFL whiners.

I did manage to luck my way into a single seat, but it's way in the back and now my friend that wanted to go is screwed over. He had gotten me a front row seat for an Alice in Chains concert this summer, so I owed him. I guess I could sell him my single seat, but either way, I'm pissed.
Don't be so down in a hole about it.

Nice thing is, though, Duke can't go out and buy a contender every year. But I get your point.
Yes and no. They seem to get the top recruits EVERY STINKIN' YEAR. I have all the respect in the world for Mike Krzyzewski, but it's ridiculous at how many of these players end up there. I know they have to be held to the academic standards to get in and stay in, but c'mon...
Being a Tar Heel fan probably doesn't help my attitude.

People are vary lazy with the fridge in my office...every time I go over there, one of the fridge doors or the freezer door is left slightly open.
Also, if you're in a busy grocery store aisle, don't lollygag in the middle of the aisle and gawk at the shelves looking for your item. The entire aisle is not yours. You have plenty of room to look at the shelves if you're not in the middle.

I have a window seat at work and I'm watching the gorgeous, sun-laden 60-degree day we've got going on...wondering why I'm still at work.
-
One of my co-workers announced yesterday that he's leaving for a new job. He's not even giving two full weeks' notice because his new company insisted that he start on the 21st. I like the guy - good worker, intelligent, knows our stuff, and is fun to talk to - but this is irritating.
The problem now is that he & I were the only two within our unit that knows what we're doing. The other three guys (while cool & fun to hang around with) aren't up to snuff. So this now leaves me doing ALL of the heavy work until a replacement comes.

When is this ######in' Winter going to get the hint and move on? 6 degrees? Really? March3 and it was 6 ###### degrees out? Keep that crap in Kapuskasing.
I usually like winter, but I'm also ready for it to be done. My two little dogs aren't thrilled with it, either, but they do like to walk on top of the 20 inches of frozen snow in the front yard (it's a good thing they're only 15 pounds each).
My complaint: I'm in a people-hating mood again.
However, that will be it for the day. I'm doing a stair climb tonight to raise money for cystic fibrosis and I'm not letting anything get me down about that.

#1: I can't get rid of this damn cough no matter what I do. It just keeps lingering...and lingering...
#2: I hate it when people print out a novel and don't pick it up off the printer.
#3: People who don't read directions for a change that I took a week and a half to come up with, tested for two days, then finally put into a production environment. Almost a year later, my colleague decided to do it how he thought it should have been done, then admitted to me that he didn't read my directions.

I hate it when you're in a stall in the public restroom and someone goes into the one next to you and slams their door shut so hard that it knocks yours loose.

I know the above is an old statement, but it is still a trueism. Why do the most misearable people become managers?
Or do they just receive some indoctrination session by Donald Rumsfeld in the basement of the Pentagon.
In my case, my manager was forced into it. Our previous manager retired and she was second in charge of our unit. Because of the economy, we never re-filled the old manager's position, so she's been in charge ever since. She admittedly never wanted it, but had no choice.

We missed all the snow here in Maryland.. All we got from the storm of the decade is some ice and wind.
Albany got all hyped up about it and we got a whopping 8 inches...tops. I was disappointed.
Official complaint: I wish some people I work with would invest in breath mints. :sick:
And Pegula's regime hasn't begun yet.

I've actually got one of those bands - I used it to help with bicep tendonitis a few years back and had been using it off & on. I guess I should be "on" again. I also took Motrin PM last night so I could actually sleep...stupid thing kept me up all night the previous night. It probably does have something to do with the way I sleep. A chiropractor told me years ago that you should either sleep on your back or on your side.
