... well.

It took four years. But I just yelled my head off at someone across the office because they did an incredibly stupid thing that now has me redoing hours of work.

.... something I swore I would never do to anyone because in the past I haven't liked it when it happened to me.

Yep. I'm a class act.

Yesiree.....

[agentsmith]

how rude.....


good job!

[nycwriters]

No.

I suck.

[Coffee]

eeekk...that does make one feel like a shoe with a turd on it after doing that huh. I been there.

Good luck. But being that it was a really stupid thing though...you'll get some sympathy vibes i'm sure and the turd smell should wear off soon.

that's it NYC; I am revoking your Lois Lane award ASAP!!

I hate to break it to you guys, but screaming "YOU'RE A FVCKING MORON!!!" at the top of one's lungs is the norm for this office.

I just never thought I'd ever do it ... not that I yelled that ... I basically scolded the guy -- who should have consulted me before doing something -- and didn't. Now I have fewer hours to do more work to meet dreadline.

The only reason there's anything wrong with what you did is that it made YOU uncomfortable and represents a departure from YOUR standards, i.e., what you expect of yourself, which, from the sounds of things, may be the highest not-so-common denominator around there. In other words, you didn't do a damn thing wrong, and the only one who ought even to have anything to say about it, from the sounds of it, is you.

Occasionally, the best of us loses patience. (Since you fall into the category of "the best of us", this means you. ) You didn't unleash a prima donna attack on someone to make yourself look or feel good, you expressed frustration with someone who caused you a major piece of workplace grief. Presumably someone who should have known better. No need to be so rough on yourself.

If you want to apologize to them for speaking harshly, by all means do so, but make sure they understand why you were frustrated. There is certainly no need to apologize for being frustrated with someone else's carelessness. Better to wait until you have cooled off, apologize only for the yelling part and say, as nicely as possible, "but I need to know these things in order to get the job done, and next time I'd appreciate your telling me ahead of time. I'm sure if you had known, you never would have done X." This last at least allows them to save face and tells them that you think what they did is stupid but that you don't think they are stupid (even if you do privately think exactly that ).

Of course, I'm sure you know all this anyway.

You didn't do anything terrible. Sounds to me like the guy had it coming, the fvcking moron. Hey, got any job openings? LOL

Thanks for the above.

Ah, forget about your job. You can move in with me and my three cats. Everyone that loses their job or house moves in with me. Sorry about the incident. But, I have been to NYC before and people there seem to be very direct and loud, and will tell you to step off when they feel like it. But you are a nice Canadian gal right? Just say your sorry if you feel it is warranted. Hugs.

Did you ever watch "Married With Children" when Kelly Bundy was the weather girl? If you have not, you won't get this quote:

Kelly "There are Strom clouds over "Chickagoo"

translated: "There are storm clouds over Chicago"

You would look good in frou frou outfits. Just don't do wild ass things to your hair. Wow, some of those wimmins hair styles are crazy.

Hey CHCH out of Hamilton has a new weekend weather girl. She is so darned chipper and spunky, she would be a perfect substitute for the girl in 'Legally Blonde'. She wears little caps and sweaters and offers to get us sunny weather.

Want her job? Please take it from her. Please, really!
