Dear Supermarket Bagperson: I don't know if you know this, but you do not win a prize if you can fit 100% of my groceries into one bag. Especially when I have provided you with two bags. Extra especially when piling everything into one bag results in a load so heavy that it makes me wish I had a back brace with me. It's not a contest, okay?Labels: annoyed, fury, pet peeves, rant
Mini-Rant of the Day. I hate it when restaurants serve salads where the leafy greens (or anything other ingredient, for that matter) are not cut into bite size pieces. Exactly how do they expect me to fit an entire romaine leaf into my mouth? Plus, those leaves are coated with dressing, so it's not like I can stuff it in my mouth without getting dressing sprayed all over the table, my face, and my clothes. And of course they've provided me with only one utensil, a fork, with which to make pathetic repeated attempts at leaf origami. Lame! Lame! Lame!Labels: annoyed, food, pet peeves, rant
Just a Cog in the Machine. Yet another post inspired by the sad happenings in my life as just another puny cog in the corporate machine.
You may need to re-evaluate your current IT help desk provider if...
...after five minutes of futile attempts to communicate a simple technical issue to the seemingly confused person on the other end, the person who called for help starts to wonder if they've called the wrong number.
IT tech: How can I help you?
Me: I'm trying to save a file but I'm getting a "disk is full" error. I think I need you to increase my disk space quota.
IT tech: Are you on a computer?
Me: Um yes, I am trying to save a file? On a shared drive?
IT tech: What are you trying to do?
Me: Save. A. File.
...5 minutes later...
IT tech: And you say you are trying to...?
Me: I'm trying to save a--- Wait a second...you are the IT help desk for [my company], right? Have I called the right number?
For crying out loud.Labels: annoyed, IT, just a cog in the machine, rant, work
