They are the best, but are they the luckiest?

With all the unsolicited comments coming from a coworker about their terrible work load, it makes me wonder who their trying to convince, themselves or the people around them that they actually work hard?

Problem is they’re guilty of being themselves and that’s where it’s hard to draw a distinction.

I don’t mind working hard as long as I feel the people around me are doing the same.  When that’s not the case, it’s a very frustrating situation.

Someone told me to move it or lose it, too late already lost it.

You write so many words, but yet you never get to your point, why is that?  Ever consider using fewer words to actually make your point, instead of burying it in an avalanche of words.

You can’t make up for it once the damage is done, for what’s done is done and there are no take backs in life.

There are those who express an unwilling willingness to be part of all willingness around them and this drives my desire for a Cabin In The Woods.

You Can’t Or You Won’t?

You provide us with no proof to what you claim and then you expect the outcome to be beneficial to your interests.

Just because you can beat somebody up doesn’t mean you should.  For the unintended consequences can come back to haunt you in unexpected ways and usually not in positive ones, so perhaps, think before you act.

The difference between being lazy and just can’t be bothered is: being lazy you don’t want to do it because you’d have to exert effort and the other you just can’t be bothered because you are just too tired.

You can’t complain about anything if you refuse to get involved.

They can’t handle the nothingness that is their life.  They believe it should have meaning and purpose, but yet it doesn’t.

Someone asked if I was trying to hide from them, nope, if I was you wouldn’t have found me at my Cabin In The Woods.

They keep making uninformed ass(u)mptions and it only reinforces their idiocy.

Varity is the spice of life and the downfall of the spoiled.

When you see a sign that says you can or can’t do something in a certain area, it does not come with a separate sign stating the exceptions to that rule.  It is what it is, you don’t get to interpret it any other way or ass(u)me exceptions for yourself.

I’m not in the mood for one of your excuses, so please keep them to yourself.

I was having a dream that I had a history final to take in college and I couldn’t remember where the classroom for it was, which makes no sense since I haven’t been in college since the 80’s.  So what was this dream really trying to tell me?

You can handle it until such time you can’t.  Then it’s off to a Cabin In The Woods.

I’ve figured my work place out, I’m on the island of misfit workers and I fit right in.

Their work ethic is such that an empty desk would accomplish the same amount of work.

I know my oldest really left the nest a long time ago; they have always been an independent soul.  Well they left to go to Asia for 3 months and are pretty much doing it alone.  As a parent, I understand on an intellectual level that they would leave, but on an emotional level I’m devastated.  I just want them where I can get to them if they need help and now I can’t, this really sucks.

Take the opportunity, don’t force it.

One of my kids wanted to know why we always put our snacks “in the microwave?”  They thought it was to keep them fresher.  Nope, our microwave is built in over the stove and when they were little it was a good place to put them to keep them out of reach of small hands, simple as that.

The opinion of a bunch of uninformed individuals really doesn’t matter in the least to me and shouldn’t to anyone else.

If you go around thinking everyone else in the world is an idiot, then why would you expect anything else.

You can’t be mad at me for what I’m not, only for what I am.

Someone proudly stated to me that their a “Front Desk Coordinator”, ok I get it, you’re a receptionist.  I rather have more money than a fancy title that really means nothing.  So that means I’m a “Senior Information Coordinator Advisor”, or really just a “Customer Service Rep”.

There are shortsighted individuals with no prospects that disregard reality and do the dumbest things in the hope of creating a prospect.  Rarely works.

I try not to clutter my mind with unnecessary information, it’s already overloaded with your bullsh*t.

If you focused as much effort in doing it as you do fritting over doing it, you’d be much more productive and much happier.

You don’t have everything you want, but you have everything you need, so let’s focus on that to perhaps make you happy.

One person’s Urgent matter is another’s Critical, yet another’s Stat matter will be another’s routine, since we all don’t agree on what’s truly important.  So faced with this situation, nothing gets done as I go off to my Cabin In The Woods.

They both may run on the same wave length, but it’s still scrambled in their outcomes.

Someone was very successful at screwing it up.

I know it’s an old wives tale, but sometimes it’s just fun to perpetuate them.

I couldn’t sleep last night and it’s very difficult to find sheep around here.

You don’t understand the process because you refuse to see the reality, so it makes no sense to you.

It was a simpler time when frustration was the crux of my existence.

There’s no point in sitting around and complaining about what has already happened.  Instead you should accept what you can’t change and move on and learn from the experience.

I may be good at it, but they were doing it long before I got here and will be doing it long after I leave.  The only difference is the competence level of those doing the job.  Sometimes they shine, sometimes not.

I’m hard at work on something that no one knows about and if they did they’d probably won’t care anyway.  But I’m enjoying the process just the same.

Their’s no stupid questions, just stupid people.

They state, “I didn’t ask for this to happen.”  However if they were to review their actions, they pretty much did.  They just don’t, so it comes as a big surprise to them when it does happen.

I recently got home from vacation after leaving my two oldest “home alone” for the first time.  I was shocked to find no boards over the windows of a burned out house.  No crime scene tape around the house; or any recently filled in six foot deep holes in the backyard.  The kitchen was also reasonably clean, so they exceeded my expectations, will wonders never cease.

I miss the toll booths of my youth.  Pulling up to see those toll booth (cranky) operators whose goal in life was to collect the money and get exposed too high amounts of exhaust fumes.  It’s was a part of the charming misery of this place that I miss.

My first memory of encountering an operator was when I was traveling to see my future spouse using an AAA trip tic and clearly misreading it.  I was crossing a bridge that was covered in fog when out of it appeared the booth and I asked the operator, “where am I?”  They asked where I was headed, when I told them, they told me to turn around and head back over the bridge and didn’t charge me for my error.

I also miss the game I played when I would throw the change into the bucket and not miss, without even slowing down, what am I to do with that skill set now?  For the toll booth of the past are disappearing, being replaced by machines.  No more is there the strategy being applied to finding the faster lane when sitting in endless delays at the toll booths, by cutting off other cars aggressively.  Now we just cruise right on thru.  What fun is there in that?

I also miss the dread of my car breaking down on a highway and by the time I got back to it with help, all that would be left is a shell up on blocks.  There were crews that would roam the highways and stripe the cars in a matter of minutes.  Another skill not in use in this area anymore.

I didn’t ask a question, I was making a statement.

We have a random plan, but not a random situation, so now what?

I don’t think for a second that you’re on my side or anyone else’s except your own.  For if you don’t see an advantage in the situation, you drop it like a hot potato.

I’m one of the most imperfect people walking, that’s why I enjoy watching other people’s imperfections so much.

Don’t be a Life On Hold.

You find their actions cute and adorable, I find them annoying and childish and someday you may to.

I got a new suit for a wedding that I’m attending and it did something unusual when I tried it on.  The suit jacket actually button up with no problems, will miracles never cease.  After all my old suit for some reason shrank?

A doctor called about one of their patients and provides me with no information on said patient, but expects me to know who their calling about.  When I explained that I need information to look the patient up, which should be obvious, they respond, “Call me back when you get your act together.”  You first doc.  I wish I could ass(u)me my importance the way this doctor does.  I need to go to my Cabin In The Woods now to get my Crystal ball.

Concierge sounds fancy and high class, mostly because the majority of people can’t spell it.

My youngest saw the broken antenna on my neighbor’s house and stated, “their cable is broken”.  Perhaps not.

 

If I were to die tomorrow, that proves my point and I win.

I heard someone say to another, “I hate to speculate”, but then continue to do so.  So, really, they love to speculate, perhaps they should become one of those talking heads on news shows that speculate their bullsh*t all the time.  For who needs facts when you can have a good speculation session.

I guess I just pissed off a doctor because I refused to gravel to their (supposed) greatness.

Lately I’ve been watching videos featuring people’s bad driving decisions.  These videos have proven to me that people really do need to understand theirs as well as their vehicles limitations.  Plus they need to be more aware of the weather and how that affects driving conditions.  Also this increases my desire to hide away in my Cabin In The Woods to avoid them.

If you go through life with the expectation that others will cover for all your mistakes automatically, beware, for one day your bill will come due.

Sorry if I don’t feel like doing stupid sh*t for the sake of obtaining more money.  You need money to exist; however, being greedy isn’t a great option if you’re really being stupid about getting it.

Life never goes away, at least until you die or go to my Cabin In The Woods.

It’s not that their a simple person, rather they’re a simply weird person.  After all wearing a Star Trek uniform on casual Friday at work is out there even for me.

It was a yellow or maybe gold shirt they were wearing.  I forget what that’s supposed to mean in the Star Trek Universe.  I do know red shirt indicates cannon fodder.

Being decisive, making a quick decision or just getting to the point in a few words are just not things in their personal wheel house.  Something for them to work on perhaps, but they need to see it first.

If you want to live your life in blissful ignorance, that’s your right.  But, don’t expect the rest of us to do the same.

I’m going to use short term quotes over long term ones, the others are just too difficult.

First world problem, being a food snob and refusing processed food.  Third world problem, wishing they had enough food to be picky.

I once worked for a company that was so cheap that you couldn’t even get basic office supplies.  So people would hoard them.  When I left that company, people there were literally coming up to my desk and asking for things I had.  I could have made a fortune selling them.  They were worse than the no paperclip boss I later had.

I is…n’t that funny.

I’m going to open a business and put this announcement on the phone system when someone calls, since this is closer to reality than what is usually stated by companies.  “We strive for the highest excellence in our customer service, but that won’t happen since we really don’t care.”

I’m an equal opportunity believer in idiots of all types.

First world problem; broke a nail while gardening.  Third world problem; broke a leg while doing hard manual labor and there’s no doctors.

Sometimes when you’re really smart you can still be really stupid in your actions and adding sarcasm when you’re acting this way is not very appealing.

Let’s hide in the dim subdued lighting of our delusions rather than be exposed to the harsh bright lights of reality.

Why would I want to be taken seriously if the expectation is that nothing is going to happen?  And you wonder why I want a Cabin In The Woods.

Sorry I don’t feel like being in a parade of one.

First world problem; too scared to let a co-worker in the building who is accidently locked out.  Third world problem, terrified because there are actual gunmen outside trying to get in and there is no possibility for help.

I let the world unfold in front of me as it may, for its pretty crazy out there and I have little influence over it.

If the stressor is caused because of stupid reasons, it’s not a stress worth dealing with and is best ignored.  Save your energy for important issues.

You could at least try to pretend to care instead of purposely ignoring the situation.

You’re confusing yourself, so stop thinking!

First world problem, no garnishes to dress up the food.  Third world problem, not enough food to even eat.

If you’re so miserable in your life that the only way you can feel good is to take your anger out on total strangers.  But strangely in the end, even this leaves you with a hollow feeling inside.  Perhaps take on the issues that are making you miserable, instead of placing that anger on everyone else.  Only you can make yourself happy.

I don’t care what you did later; the time when it really mattered you failed us at the most basic level.

My oldest turned 21 the other day and the first thing they did was go out and buy themselves a 40oz beer.  Not to drink, but just because they can. (Don’t Drink)  They plan on putting it up on a shelf in their room and look at it.

I remember that when I turned 18 I was legal, then when it was upped to 19 I was 20 and finally to 21 I was 22.  But then I don’t drink either, so it was all wasted on me, since I never got wasted.

Champagne budget, beer tastes, go figure.

First world problem, bone spur in their foot.  Third world problem, no foot and no hope for a prosthetic.

They were always late to work and life, but early to their funeral, go figure.

My Dad use to make great homemade pies from scratch.  Now I’m afraid that the only scratching going on with the pies I buy is the worker scratching untold body parts while mass producing them.

My employer’s lawyer either needs a secretary or better organizational skills for when you walk by their office all you see if a tuff of their gray hair sticking out from behind piles of paper on their desk.

I’m glad you’ve never heard of me, for in that case there are no expectations and I can go quietly to my Cabin In The Woods.

First world problem, nothing to watch on TV.  Third world problem, only Dictator’s propaganda on TV.

For you, I’d be glad, not to help.

My, don’t you have a keen eye for the obvious.

Everything in your life can’t be the “worst thing ever”, for that means nothing is good in your life.  Try to think a little more positive, even thinking “it is what it is” is an improvement.

Remind me, so I can forget.

First world problem, waiting too long to see my doctor.  Third world problem, no doctors at all.
