The squeaky wheel gets the grease....but it's the first to be replaced.
That IS funny! I am a chronic complainer at work, so they say. I've been with them 32 years, and they even asked me to come back after they had asked me to retireThe squeaky wheel gets the grease....but it's the first to be replaced.
I don't know if its something nobody wants to do as much as nobody else seems to notice it. I know that sounds stupid, but it seems ignorance is bliss. Some people are able to stay happy by making believe things are better than they really are.quote; Oh, what do I complain about at work? availability of drinking water, coffee, clean bathrooms with toilets that don't wobble;
In other words, you are the guy who checks to make sure the janitorial staff and gofers are doing their jobs, and it is something no one else wants to do.

I got the best of both worlds, lots of grease, and longevity too. I don't know what they see in me to put up with me, but it seems to be of value to them. I got the luck of the Irish instead of Cookie who Should have got it. My luck is not so good with the Lottery, but health is the most important thing, so I'm happy.
Oh, what do I complain about at work? availability of drinking water, coffee, clean bathrooms with toilets that don't wobble; stuff like that.

I don't consider myself any better a human being than my fellow workers, but I am sure every workplace has situations. Dilbert seems like it was written by somebody that works where you work; one of my favorite comics is Dilbert.
Hi Cookie, lol, I did not mean to offend, but between your health issues and the "rough crowd" you hang with, you have a fantastic attitude, one that most people would not have. I admire your ability to keep your sanity. I would not be able to cope like you, and would be in a rubber room by now, I thinkOh, but, I am lucky Bob! I am still alive, most others, I am not so sure would be, if they had my health woes or my relatives. And, I got to say, my relatives are lucky, too. Trust me on this one. I did not take kindly, to my husband having his picture taken at his funeral & emailed around, nor did, his own relatives, which I caught hell for and I did not even know they did it that day. But, I do wonder what he would had said about that one? I think he would had been pissed.
I think I know what he would had said. He never swore, he would say, instead, Sons of Bitches. He probably, would had said that everytime the 2 of them, snapped a picture.
Sons of bitches, lol.
Cookie, she sounds like a real "winner". Lots of stupid idiots like her out there.I will share with you, a comment made the other day, from a person in management. A woman of course. While I was working, I felt her eyes on me. I thought, now what. Then, I heard, " you know, you are lucky." I agree. But, her reasons, if they weren't sick, would be funny. Very funny. I asked her, the million dollar question, why. Why am I lucky? Boy, was I stupid to ask her that question. She said, " well, you got cancer early, so, you got it out of the way." I was now, staring at her, in shock I would think. Next, came... and, if you didn't have to go through a messy divorce, your husband just died. I should add the rest, it is too funny, really, not to. She said, " well, you got everything, you didn't have to fight over stuff."
Ha ha ha ha, he would had loved that one.
and, she is raising a kid. Wow.
HJ, sometimes it takes a push like that to get a better job. Seriously. We tend to stay at places we really don't like, but feel more secure than having to start new somewhere else. I've never been let go, but have wished I were, and left on my own anyway. That has for the most part, worked out well. Its difficult having to work with other people that just don't seem to give a s**t about doing a good job. I've been working here a long, long time; things must be good here.If you got "downsized" she would probably say, "Boy, are you lucky. Now you can find a job you really like".

I'm ranting again, sorry.
