  • That awkward moment when

    a manager starts bawling in the backroom because she actually has to do work, because we're so shorthanded and have too much to do for her to just sit in her office.

    That was my day yesterday, and just about every other day around the swamp.

    This is a drama-free zone; violators will be slapped.

      I bet her position was well earned.

        I actually saw a better one on a customer today:

        I smile because you've all finally driven me crazy!

              Aw, I wouldn't call it awkward. I'd call it special. As in, how my former boss used to be like the Church Lady from SNL "Isn't that special?"

              I love watching shift leads (which are just glorified operators on power trips mostly) grunt, whine, and all but crawl into the corner and cry and pout because they may end up having to actually run a machine or two instead of running around like a headless chicken squacking orders at all of us.

              It about makes my freaking day.

                Kinda reminds me of my new motto at work:

                Is it a contract violation?
                Is it illegal?
                Is it a violation of state and/or federal laws?
                If the answer to all three is "no," then it's a personal problem. Get over it.

                  These two are really the same thing, of course. Just sayin'.

                    Technically it could be a violation of the Geneva Convention...

                      This is true. I plead temporary insanity.

                      I should have said:

                      Is it a contract violation?
                      Is it a violation of past practice?
                      Is it illegal?

                      Forgot the past practice one....

                        I'm more likely to plead temporary sanity. People who don't know me give me the oddest looks when I say that, for some reason...>_> Those who do, wish me well and say they hope I'll get better soon.
