Our office building is a large-ish one story rectangle. The parking lot wraps around the entire building with the employee entrances on each of the short sides and the public entrance in the middle of the long side that is facing the street. Probably like most offices, most everyone parks in the same space every day. We have way more parking spaces than employees because we host large trainings and meetings from time to time, so you can get a good spot easily especially since the employee spots are a good distance away from the main entrance. Whenever we have trainings/meetings, visitors always end up taking employee spots on my side (the right) of the building. It's really strange because they'll park in spots that are really far from the building on the right side of the lot while spots that are two spots from the door on the left side will be empty. It's weird and I don't understand it.
Maybe they are one of those people that likes to park far away and get a few more steps in? Or have nicer cars and don't want them to get hit? I usually park far away so I can get extra steps in my day, plus I have a new car (Oct 2013) and I am paranoid about it getting dinged. IDK just throwing those out there. Sorry someone parked in your spot. They are obviously jerks.

I don't even care about people parking in my spot really. I am more curious about the seeming oddness of the behavior. I just parked in another spot that was the same distance from the door. I could see maybe the desire for a longer walk, but it's the density of the people that confuses me. It's not one or two outliers. Basically, everyone starts at the front entrance and goes down the two rows to the right filling up spaces until they wrap around the corner of the building with maybe two or three people taking spots on the left side of the entrance.

Someone was clipping their fingernails in the office this morning (god I hope they were fingernails).
I had a cubemate that did that on a regular basis in my first job out of school.
I get clipping one nail if you broke one or have a snag... but the office is not a place for grooming. Especially when said grooming results in pieces of yourself flying through the air. Ew!

Clipping nails at work is totally gross. I do file my nails at my desk on the rarity that one breaks. I think grooming on the whole should be done at home, but nails do occasionally break.
our credit card machines are down at work. we serve over 1000 guests on a Saturday night. we have to do everything by hand. kill me.
Oh god. I know drinking on the job is typically frowned upon, but you should probably have a drink at some point in your shift.
I hope more guests bring cash than not.
hahaha I was thinking the same thing last night...
I can't decide if it ended up better or way worse last night. 3 card machines started working around when we opened (normally we have 7... and it still doesn't always feel like enough, especially on saturdays). we also ended up having wayyy less people in reservations than usual - we normally have ~950 reserved before we open on a saturday. we had 540 last. so that was kind of good for the chaos?
on the negative side, they didn't cut any servers due to the small number of guests like they should have, so we were wayyy overstaffed. we were all bored the whole night, and therefore crabby. someone bumped a light in our server station, causing the whole track to go out. it's its own room - so we had to work in the dark by candle light. we not only get drinks and bring our bussed dishes back there, but we wash glassware. ALL IN THE DARK. and all of my tables were just miserable to wait on. soooo. it was a ridiculous saturday. /rant
I think I am allergic to my place of employment. All day in there I can't stop sneezing and blowing my nose. While I'm not there I am completely fine. Pretty awesome

I try not to complain about work on here, but my supervisor occasionally does things that drive me up the wall. We're in the process of submitting a brief proposal/statement of work to a research group in Rhode Island. My boss produced an initial draft and asked me to look over everything and address a few comments/questions. Ok, no problem. However, when I began reading through the document, I quickly discovered that it was littered with typos, punctuation errors, grammatical errors, and incorrect information. I swear, he does this every time. I realize that he's quite busy juggling multiple projects simultaneously, but he almost always hands me this poor quality initial draft that looks like it was written by a high school student while he/she was watching Dancing With the Stars.
I've learned that he and I are completely different in that respect. He can bang out a few pages of work in a day, but it's usually littered with mistakes and somewhat poorly written. I'm the exact opposite (to a fault sometimes). Being a perfectionist, I analyze every single sentence until I'm completely satisfied. It often takes me multiple days to put something like this together, but I try to make sure that anything I give him is already in good shape and in need of only minor edits.

I 100% think I am allergic to my work. I sneeze here aaallll the time, but rarely sneeze anywhere else. I think it's mold.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Fuck work. This is the worst day I've had in quite a while. My sample hose got clogged, and I've spent the last two hours battling mud and water getting it unclogged. Now I'm soaked and filthy. Which would be bad, but not terrible in of itself. But going on 2 hours of sleep doesn't help.
If I don't catch a quick nap later this afternoon, not sure I'm going to make Liturgy and Sannhet tonight (it would result in another 2 hours of sleep tonight).
I really want to see Liturgy though, will have to try and power through.

from your snap, it seems like you made it to the show!

Yep! First band just finished. Fuck sleep, I have bands to see!

The night before I graduated college, I was out at a bar with friends. The bartender was drinking while working, and passed out around 12:45.
My roommate had to pay his tab the following afternoon. On the plus side, I did like 3-4 shots of cognac for free.
We used to a have a bartender that drank every night he worked. Nobody liked opening the next day after him because he wouldn't do side work or stock beer or even wipe down the bar. Needless to say he didn't last long.
It's officially official. Just got ahold of the casino and I'll definitely be getting hired by April 23. Now I have to figure out an acceptable way to tell my current bosses they'll no longer be with my services and that that place makes me want to do horrible things to people. Then to decide if I hold my hand out and say *drops mic* when I'm through roasting him.
sooo... last weekend at chino was not the greatest (see top of page). both saturday and sunday were excruciatingly slow, and monday was *so slow* that I came in, hung around for an hour and a half, and they sent me home. granted, this was a total anomaly, it's rare that we are ever that slow, but fuck.
I had yesterday off, and now today I got called off from betty dangers because it's chilly out and our patio won't be open. and it's looking like that will probably happen the next 2 days thanks to the forecast.
