Air your Grievances

€uroMeinke · 12-23-2014, 12:11 PM

Happy Festivus!

It's time to air your grievances

My first one is to facebook for conquering social media in a way that killed my favorite forms of it leveraging my own laziness and narcissism.

Next the practice of using thinner paper towels in restrooms to save money - if I can't pull out a single sheet with a wet hand, I will grab wads and defeat your presumed savings.

Obama care - it's great that people can be insured but having 3 different insurance companies in one year - because insurance still is mostly ties to employment - has been a neverending bureaucratic nightmare. Give me national healthcare

More grievences may follow

I loathe the trend of ever-narrowing toilet paper. I have big hands. 'nuff said

Lack of F'n posts here. Get with it people.

I'm on a 2 man team with enough work for 8 and a company with an "Over promise AND over deliver" mentality. The manager they brought in who was doing a great job of at least running interference with customers so I could concentrate on getting through the pile of work I didn't have time to do got an offer from a company he's been trying to get in to for a long time, so he left after 3 months. So now I'm doing my job AND his job while temporarily back under a micromanager who is doing nothing but adding more paperwork to my day.

Those stupid internet "news" stories that start with something like "This homeless man was given extra soft toilet paper, we followed him to the bathroom and guess what he did next. You won't believe it!"

Lame!! Stop it!

Coworkers who don't do their work and go on vacation, meaning that work is passed along to me when I know nothing of their projects.

So far, Moonliner is the only one who has aired a legitimate Festivus grievance, i.e, one targeted at the participants in the celebration. I second his grievance.

Oh, and buy my book.

I miss this place...or rather, I miss the time when this place was in its heyday.

I miss this place, and the heyday version of it.

I have more grievances than is appropriate for Festivus.

I also have more to be thankful for than most.

One word:

SPAM.

Not the type trying to sell something legit, but the kind that says "click here to see your ticket/receipt/rewards/to opt out/see my picture" to make you try download a virus. I never fall for it, but the sheer number of them I get at work is annoying. And the fact that there are people out there that get a kick out of causing someone that much pain is nothing short of what the KKK or Taliban accomplish. A-holes.

And of course how FB has just about killed our homey little chat rooms....
