Not that I have heard of. I just deal with it. Luckily this is the frist full-blown infection since I was enlightened by flax seed oil pills.

Prudence,

I'm assuming that your company has a Risk Management Department. Contact them and report it as a safety violation.

Ya, what he said.

A pet peeve - yes, we know the system is down. We sent a company wide email that the system is down. Please don't call/email/sumbit a ticket saying the system is down after we tell you it is down.

Thank you.

Folks who don't push their chairs back in after getting up from the table. This is especially annoying when in an area with limited space, like a break room.

Any chance of going for a compromise position and asking for a lamp?

Prudence · 08-17-2006, 04:40 PM

Not a lot of desk space for a lamp, but since I'm in charge of the financials that's what's going to happen if the power trip keeps up.

And risk management? HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think we're suppose to be grateful they let us use electricity at all.

Seriously though, you should call them. I had a coworker give them a call when she got some bad carpal tunnel and they did come in and help change things a bit for us. I think they usually don't know what's going on, but when they're called they do their job.

Not here. They've already paid out on my L&I carpal claim and nothing changed. I guess I don't have much faith in them.

I just thought of another pet peeve. I hate people who wear shirts featuring a band, yet they don't even like the band.

If I went up to every girl I saw wearing a Rolling Stones shirt and asked what her favorite song was, I bet most wouldn't even have an answer. Most I have asked don't at least.

If I'm going to wear a shirt featuring a band or movie, I make sure I like the band/movie. I love the Beatles, I have a Beatles shirt, I love Van Halen, I have a Van Halen shirt.

Let fans be fans, don't make me look like some teenager who's clueless to classic/better music.
