People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

She does the laundry, I take out the trash (from each waste basket, to the can, to the curb) and recycling.

I definitely get the better end of the bargain.

explain to me why people like to call someone, and then can't talk to them because they are in teh middle of something.

My fiancee does this all the time, she'll call and then be typing on the computer or writing out lesson plans, so she only hears half the conversation. I get on her case about it all the time. It's easier to call and talk when you are not trying to do 5 things at once.

Telephones are evil.

I actually just hate talking on the phone period. I would rather text for an hour than have a minute long conversation.

See texted I hate to...make it a nice short conversation and move on. A quick convo and then move on.

 

[iambrutus]

I don't know why, I just hate being on the phone. If Nextel didn't blow so bad, I would probably get that. I just like getting shit across and then being done. I don't like the bullshit that comes with talking on the phone because so many people want to have a heart to heart.

Yeah, my dad probably hates being on the phone as much as I do so I don't mind talking to him. I really hate when people call and have nothing important to ask or to say, but just want to talk. Shits annoying.

It really pisses me off when someone tells you that you are doing a good job to your face, yet when they fill out your evaluation they rip you. Fucking tell people what they need to work on rather than just say everything is right until the fucking evaluation comes out.

Amen brother...my last evaluation and a previous job was a joke...I laughed while reading it, looked at the person who did the evaluation and said, "Are you serious?" No response, just a blank stare straight ahead, turned to the director and said, "So I'm assuming this is my last day..." He said, "Yes." I said, "It was a pleasure working for (insert my direct supervisor's name)."... smiled, and walked out.

You are doing a great job, they just didn't want to give you a raise.

Well this is for my student teaching.....but did have something liek what you said happen once...I fill out my evaluation, my boss filled out hers. they were almost exactly the same except on place where there was a one point difference. I presented my case as to why I gave myself the point, and she agreed and then still told me dispite that, she was not going to give me teh extra point ( and of course the extra point would have put me in line with a raise).
