OT - Eff Off Friday

Aniki-Moderator's picture

Friday at last!!! The workday cannot end soon enough. I'm ready to get started on the weekend!

Eff off to:

  • Zoom. The biggest annoyance of WFH (for me) is all of the freaking Zoom conferences. 3 or more a day (7 on Friday!). The worst ones are those with...
  • King Pita. Evil Aniki wishes KP would develop a major case of laryngitis and be unable to speak for a month. He cannot seem to stfu! 15 minute call? Not when KP is involved. Count on those calls lasting upwards of 45 minutes. ~sob~
  • KP, part II. That jackwad is in serious need of intense reading comprehension lessons. Twice this week, he has emailed VIPs because he did not read the entire damn email and missed crucial components. Instead of asking anyone else on the team, KP takes it upon himself to email the higher ups, demanding information/assistance that is already included in the email. Buttmunch.
  • Any moron in my area who believes that the 'rona is here because of "the damn trolls (tourists)" because not one single Yooper has left the area. Mmhmm. Riiiiiiiight. You drove to Sault last week and met your cousin, Heikki. Your cousin from OHIO. Not a chance of any cootie spreading happening there, eh?  Asshat.
  • Effers who think I'm <insert bad adjective> because I rarely wear a mask. Hey, I wear the damn thing! I don't want to, don't like it, but I wear it. But I rarely leave my effing house so there is NO NEED for me to wear that effing mask. What I really need is a 6 foot barrier to keep effers who think 6 inches is the equivalent of 6 feet out of my effing personal space. 

My eff off to BioHo needs it's own blog. Time for the next round of Zoom torture. Can I spike my coffee??

Wishing you a long, peaceful, and stress-free weekend!

Eff off to mean people.

At the start of the pandemic, most people were kind, patient, accommodating. Now that we're all tired of it, people are back to being assholes.

Three people took potshots at me at work this week, personally, for something they screwed up or didn't want to do. I don't TAKE this stuff personally, but man it's exhausting. Earlier, I received phone calls and emails fairly regularly thanking me for the the good work my staff and I were doing in the midst of a pandemic and upheaval. 

I'm tired too. But we're still doing good work, so eff the hell off.

Hugs, Merry!!

Those asshats! I understand people are worried, scared, tired, but it's no excuse to be sh!try to others. When I have a mini meltdown, I do it when I'm alone and never take it out on anyone!  *give_rose*

Eff off to C-19. As many of you are aware I work for a large medical research facility, lots of C-19 research going on. Conference call Wednesday - really, really pessimistic outlook from the researchers.  A. Counts going up, lag time from counts increasing to deaths...expect a lot of deaths (starting to happen) B. Expect a huge upswing in counts, period. C. Do not get complacent - this is scary...they don't know much yet about how the mutation to easier transmission effects the virus...may or may not effect deaths, but could increase due to increased transmission numbers D. They simply do not yet know exactly how the virus is transmitted, it's not fitting any of the normal/usual virus methods, might be a mix of droplets/airborne but mask wearing DOES help. E.  CDC just added "runny nose" to symptom list.

As a seasonal allergy sufferer, with what feels like a perpetually "runny nose", I will now live in paranoia that I have COVID-19. I barely leave the house, but thanks to SSs who are not socially distancing or wearing masks, I feel like I'm exposed (or my home is exposed) EOWE.

Gads. May as well assume that plantar fasciitis and anal leakage are also symptoms.  *wacko*

Eff off to being called back to work after being furloughed for 2 months just in time for quarter-end close and no time to prepare or catch up on what was done to my accounts!

Eff off to MIL who invited herself over last weekend and proceeded to make a milion passive aggressive comments and undermine DH with SSs. 

Eff off to the sexist HR Director at work, who propose I get a raise last year due to "market comps", because he has no market comps for my position. He proposed a low raise the year before, because he claimed I didn't have enough "experience", but fortunately, I made the case for parity. Guess what, no raises this year, so even though my boss promised to "make it up to me" this year after he realized he messed up by letting the HR Director call the shots, he can't, because I work for a government agency and money is tight now.

Eff off to my boss for not having the balls to push for me to get what I'm worth. I'm the only person who was called out in his evaluation by our Board as someone who added value for him and should be utilized more effectively. I've taken on more work from others who couldn't handle it and I've covered his a$$ with our Board multiple times, but other than telling me "you know I appreciate you", I get no increase again this year. 

Eff off to BM for a variety of reasons, but most recently for being a self-centered, childish POS. DH and I are expecting a baby. When SS told BM, she started crying...no joke, she started crying, leading SS to feel like he needed to be really upset about it, too. Then she sent DH a message over OFW telling him how "selfish" he was being and how he was making his children feel like they were being replaced. Nothing like being totally obvious about whose causing the drama. 

Eff off to people who complain about wearing masks. If you don't want to wear a mask, fine, but avoid other people. I would rather not be stuck in COVID-19 quarantine forever, so if masks contain this thing, I'm happy to wear one.

WTH. I'd ban Monster-in-law from my bloody house.

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the nether regions of Horse's aRse director and your boss. 

I loathe the mask and complain, but DO wear it. If people would STF away from me, I'd be ecstatic! AND much less likely to worry about getting covid cooties. I've seen pics of folks using pool noodles to keep others away. Another was people in the center of tables with rollers. Fine with me! But I want a 12 foot table...

Eff off to:

- This job. I despise it. Silver lining: it's my last day. I've accepted a management position with my organization. Going to be a lot of work but challenging.

- The heat wave. Where's the rain they promised today? I'm sick of sweating like a pig!

- SO, for every reason possible. That man is trying.

Congratulations on the new position, DPW! I'm sure you will rock it. *yahoo*

Ugh, sweating. I'm fiending to take a dip in Lake Superior!

Too cold?! Pshaw!!! I've been swimming there in October - while others were strolling the beach in cable knit sweaters and warm jackets. Wimps!
