Let's make a deal. You can take a whole bunch of time off on the company dime to have your kid, and we'll all work longer hours to cover your job, which you get back when you decide to descend from the happy mommy clouds. Your part of the deal is to not bore us with endless stories of spit up and poopy and snot, and for god's sake don't bring the thing in to the office and force us to hold it! Is it a deal?
me too (5)

"You know what's worse than know-it-all coworkers?!? Know-it-all coworkers that interrupt you to give you their precious 2 cents and then proceed to take an eternity to get their thought out. Get it together or STFU!!! And when I want an opinion from you, I'll ask for it! If I want to grow old waiting that is... " Holy crap I could me too this a thousand times! Did I post this??? |

P- You are the only one in the office that is hot. Buy a fan. And if you touch the thermostat again, I swear I will slice off your fingers with the paper cutter. Thanks!

"It is YOU'RE welcome, not YOUR welcome. You are an adult- this is elementary english people!"
I couldn't agree more! Nothing pisses me off more than reading e-mails (or worse, correspondence and other documents leaving the office) with incorrect spelling, grammar and word usage. An friend of mine perpetually uses "to" instead of "too" and mixes up "your" and "you're." She also thinks "losing" is spelled "loosing." I hope her New Year's Resolution to "loose" weight backfires on her dumb ass. The really sad part? She's a teacher. Get ready to welcome the next generation of idiots into the workforce.
**one of my kids brought home a notice from school announcing school tshirts would make good "stalking stuffers" I intend on emailing it to his teachers if he loses any sort of mark(s) due to spelling for the rest of the year.** |

College Degrees! I went 5 years on an athletic scholarship! I have a degree in Political Science, I never attended classes and my job has nothing to do with my degree! I got my job, because I have a ring. An NCAA championship ring! That's what you need in an interview. ^^^Will you come be my office boyfriend? I love athletes... |

"you're the asshole, men do not have to disclose any "medical" anything when they go on interviews, nor should we if it not to our advantage, and goes against our survival needs." The difference here is that there are laws protecting jobs of women who become pregnant, as it's considered a medical condition and not a choice. I've had to cover co-workers' responsibilities for months as they were on paid "family leave", and we we not permitted to fill the position. This is the same kind of abuse of the system, and it's not fair to other employees.

(currently employed) job-seeking pregnant women are ASSHOLES- OP here: As much as the thought of picking up your slack for 4-6 months while you care for your infant *thrills* me to no end, it doesn't diminish the fact that reproduction is a choice, not a privilege. I choose to devote my time to a career in which my gender will no doubt work against me, because of the (unfair but REAL) stigma created by (some) women who use their CHOICES to abuse the system. And if you're so proud, why do you cover up your baby belly when you go to an interview? because you're an asshole.

Feeling needed is kind of nice, but could I please come all the way into the building and possibly take my coat off before you start badgering me with 10,000 questions?? |

The best thing I could do for my employer would be to quit and hope they hire someone competent to replace me. |
