I actually received a phone call from someone claiming to be The Business Manager for a Logistics company wanting to do business with my company. When I told her we were located in Paris Texas, her response was ‘Now, is Texas considered in the South?’ You can imagine my shock – my only repsonse was ‘It just doesnt get any more Southern
I am a 23 year old ESL teacher living and working in Japan. Here is my story. . .
Fcking hell! I have just had the worst day to end all worst days! I am soooo angry every second word that comes out of my mouth is FCKING, so please forgive me if I over do the cuss words just a little.
This is all thanks to one person…
Let me start of by telling you about this person. She is a Japanese woman who works as my co teacher at one of the schools I work at. I have known her for about seven months now and have tried my best to put up with her snake grin and false smile but today was the end. It would be impossible for me to write about even half of this woman`s personality disorder or how it has been displayed over the months I have known her, partly because I have forgotten half and partly because what I do remember would be too long for even the longest of Emails. She has drove me round the bend with her mood swings and constant up-and-down behaviour. One minute she will be falling asleep, the next she will be on her feet shouting at the kids in some insane crazy woman attempted to motivate them that just does not work….
Yeah, I work for a MAJOR time share-condo- hotel-motel chain doing the computer sales websites, updates… MY contract ended last week, and they just made $4 million off my work, (I pioneered doing the web promos!) in the past year, but…
There are a few of us who are contractors, and really keep our noses to the grindstone. They manage our performance by our results, but, the permies seem to be part of a ‘family’ of goof-offs!
I work in an office area where we sit close to each other (but not in cubicals). We each get our own computer, desk space and trash bins. The co-worker on the right of me is a germaphobic. I’m ok with being clean and everything, but this is a bit extreme.
My co-worker get so upset when her trash bin gets almost half-full, she cannot stand it. So, while I am in a meeting, at lunch, or just anytime I am away from my desk, she will empty her trash into my container. This must go on 3 to 4 times a day. While I have confronted her about this (in a nice matter) she totally denied it.
I wouldn’t care except then my trash overflows and makes me look like a complete slob. I just cannot believe someone would be so rude!
