Birthday of the Pencil 1492
Make a Difference Day
Cranky Co-Workers Day
Navy Day 1922
Turn Off the Violence Day


I made a difference today by taking a day off of work to avoid the cranky co-workers and potentially turning off the violence!!! Every work place has the same type of players: the whiner, the office grouch, the know-it-all, the gossip, the clown, the ***** the prep, the drama queen, the lazy sack-o-crap and my favorite, the chatter-box. I myself am not a big talker and I DREAD seeing certain people walk into my office cause they never STFU!
I avoid eye contact with them in the hall and never never never ask "how are you today"?
AND god forbid they need to explain something, they have to go back to their days in kindergarten just to explain what happened 5 minutes ago..GRRRRRRR Hmmmm, looks like I am celebrating cranky co-workers day in my own special way today......LOL

Ha... we have all of those too...  and in an ever-so-mature way, we have nicknames for them all. We also have signals for someone to call our phone if one of the chatter boxes starts taking too much time. lol

Luckily MOST the people I work with are really nice.


Ok, so that begs the question... in the office setting, which stereotype are you? Everyone?

LMAO...we do the SAME thing with the chatterboxes! We have one lawyer, and I love him to death, he has to be THE smartest man I know....I just don't have time for a history lesson everytime I go see him....so I say to my secretary...."If I'm not back in 10 minutes, come get me" LOL

Then there is the one lady that asks how YOUR weekend went so she can talk about hers...ya know the type....let me act like I care about your life as an excuse to talk about mine....and then gets on her grandbaby and her kids (who are older than me) and just wont shut up.....Total bore..ughhhh I dont mind the chatterbox that has something relevant to say...it's the ones that drone on and on and on and on about non-important stuff.....

I think I am the quiet bubbly type that everyone comes to when they need a lift. I try really hard to keep out of the drama and usually have a smile on my face. I think thats why I attract the chatterboxes....I dont complain to them, nor am I rude and I dont compete with them..LOL
I guess that makes me the back stabber cause I gripe about them behind their backs on a message board........

I'm celebrating Cranky Co-Workers Day in style.......I'm snapping at EVERYONE today no matter what they say to me....just because I can!!   


Hmmmmm......if I had to say which co-worker I am......I'd have to stereotype myself as the quiet one that sits in the corner listening to everything.  Then after people try to dump their work on me, since I'm not the type to say no, I like to get revenge instead by using against them what I've heard from listening quietly from my corner.  So basically......I'm a *****!!!  

I have finally convinced everyone in here not to talk to me before about 10am.....cuz I am NOT a morning person!   I do not engage in meaningful conversation before then.....I just look at them with my psycho-killer stare until they stop talking to me.  It seems to work.....

When one door of happiness closes, another opens:
but often we look so long at the closed door that
we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
