I’ve been at my new job for a couple months and my boss seems to typically get in around 10:30AM. As long as I’m in the office before him I tend to leave at 4PM. I haven’t worked a full 8 hour day yet. I’m sure that won’t come back to haunt me. He encourages taking long lunches. Next time he’s out of the office and the Padres are playing a day game, I’m 100% gonna catch a few innings.
First real job out of school was at a large financial services firm. A buddy and me thought we could crush a few beers during lunch at the neighboring sports bar if we simply put koozies over our 16oz beer glasses. That shockingly didn’t hide our beer consumption from envious onlookers.
I have “core hours” from 9-2 M-F and am expected to work 40 hours a week. That’s about it. I generally work 50 and usually 6:30-4 or so. 30 minute lunches
Me too. Although I can make up time the next week if I don't get 40, provided it's not the end of the pay period.
My boss got promoted in November, and her position is just now being advertised. Guy I work with thought the job was his because ... he’d been there for a few years, I guess. He would make comments like, “I should get that job, and you can slide right into my job.” My boss and her boss rewrote the PD in such a manner that no one other than me is going to get the position. Captain entitlement has been a little salty the last few days.
If I’m not on the road I’m at home working. Have an awesome team so I hate to say it but I’m usually a bit bored. Highest performing team in the world the last five years straight, and probably out in around 20 hours if I’m not traveling or 30 hours if I am.
I've got 2 small children and there is no way in hell i would choose staying home with either of them sick over going in to work. I had to leave at 4:00pm last Friday to put my 1 year olds elbow back in socket at daycare then go back into the office to finish the day. I always feel super guilty when I have to do something like take a kid to an appointment or stay out with them and end up over compensating.
It's not broken, it was dislocated. Per the ER Dr it's a pretty common injury called nurse maid's elbow. Since children's ligaments or tendons aren't fully developed their elbows and shoulders are particularly susceptible to coming out of socket. It happened once when I was walking with him and he was trying to play in the mud and I was holding his hand. He collapsed, I held on and it pulled it right out. I was initially terrified that I had broken his arm. Took him the ER and the doc popped it right back in and he was immediately better. Unfortunately, now it's more likely to happen, as it did last Friday when his teacher was trying to put sunscreen on him and he pulled away. No, but I had stayed at a Holiday Inn, the night before. Spoiler: Just kidding The ER Dr showed us how to do it, you just hold their arm to their body and lift their wrist slowly until it pops back in.
We had an office boat party last Friday. i knew the deal from the jump. Soon as we got on the boat we looked at all the booze we had and bet on drunkest guy and girl of the day. I went 0 for 2. I can always count on my coworkers to go above and beyond drunkest girl: - office coordinator who is an attractive single girl, 30s she made out with the boat captain in front of half the boat, and a guy in random group of bachelor bros whos boat docked next to us. in front of half the boat again. when we had to drag-walk her to the after boat bar she made references to her vag the whole way runner up girl: new chick who was ripping cigs and beers, puked all over a coworkers bag drunkest dude: guy with a little out there personality, 30s, wore a captains hat, was in such bad shape that 4 coworkers helped him into his wifes car runner up: another guy who was sunburnt and half comatose, had to drag him and office manager to the next bar and force feed them water and food until they were coherent
I think it's more about the folks who feel they deserve extra privileges just for having kids... I think the reason someone is late doesn't matter, which means someone with kids who shows up at 10:30 because they had to drop kids off, and handle kid responsibilities deserves to be treated the same as the person who shows up at 1030 because they felt like sleeping in.... Either say no to both or just never ask for reasons as long as work gets done.
Was a shitshow, the annoying part for me was having to babysit some of these folks on their way down to the restaurant after. Monday was suprisingly normal, lots of avoiding eye contact lol. People weren't talking about it too much
Hello, I am out of the office until July 8 in observance of the holiday. Please excuse any delay in my response.
I just can't get past the fact that he's going to be crushing cheap beers on a boat somewhere for a week and he's writing it up like its Ramadan.
Yeah if I thought he was going for that on purpose I would commend him. But he’s just kind of a doofus.
I am email robot. My responses do not contain emotions. I constructed this sentence with predictive text.
Currently two sides of the floor trying to play music and I sit basically equidistant between the speakers. Half ‘feel good old people radio’ and half edited hiphop and pop. Going home. This is awful.
Learned a whole lot more about one of my co-workers than I was expecting to on Friday. It was just me, her, and one other lady in the office, so she felt more comfortable talking. I mostly just eavesdropped on the two of them, but god damn.... We were talking about AOL/dial up and that turned into her admitting that she was "bad on those chatrooms" as a 12 year old. She said she would lie about her age and pretty much insinuated she would dirty-talk on there. She had to stop using the chats because so many guys were trying to meet her in real life. Let's see... she ranted about how she's pro-assault rifle because if the gov't comes to your house, a pistol wouldn't be enough. She talked about some doomsday shit, because she's a native Washingtonion so I guess that makes her an expert on earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. She said her dad was a meth-head whose "thing" was to bring home random trash cans and brag about how good the lids were. Everything kind of made more sense after I heard that. Her tone is unbearable. She gasps at the most mundane comments. She gasped so loud at one point that one of their phones picked up on the audio and Siri responded with "you sound surprised!". This is the same person who sends every single email to me with an "important" flag on it. Rarely is it important enough to do that.
Our summer interns in the office are: Max (female) Madison (male) Asher (male) Ty (female) 2019, everyone.
