Fussy folks. The everyday things that make us insane.

[Medusa]

Im having a junky day at work.

Mainly because this insane woman keeps calling me complaining about how the person who works the morning half of my job ISNT HERE.

Conversation:

Her: "I want to talk to X about the job cancel"

Me: "X leaves every day at 1pm and I've already handled the cancellation"

Her: "Well, X needs to send out a memo about their work hours"

Me: "I'll let them know. Was there anything else?"

Her: "Because I have been emailing X for 2 hours and he isnt responding."

Me: "Right. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "So you've handled the job? I guess that X will also be leaving at 1pm tomorrow?"

Me: "Yes, it is handled and YES, X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Nobody has ever told me that. Someone needs to communicate with us about the schedules."

Me: "Right. I can send out an email if you like."

Her: "It isnt going to work with him leaving work early every day. He needs to stay longer."

Me: "We can talk about it in our staff meeting if you like, but this is a job share, X works the morning shift, I work the afternoon shift."

Her: "Well, he needs to answer his email"

Me: "He wasnt here to answer them. He left at 1pm. Your email came in at 1:14pm"

Her: "You mean he doesnt stay a few minutes extra in case someone might need to contact him?"

Me: "No. X leaves every day at 1pm."

Her: "Well nobody every told me...."

SCRREEEAAAAMMMMMMMMM.

Ok, I went to get my med. at a pharmacy we all know and love. With my ocd, I have a ritual with washing my hands. My hands are raw from constant re-washing them, and then putting on lotion. Well, today I got something on my hands at the pharmacy. I was about to go and that is mildly putting it. So, I go to the bathroom to wash my hands. And some moron comes up to wash his hands behind me like I am going to stop my ritual for him. Oh no. Let's not even go there, buddy.

I don't know if they've changed the rules since I was in school, but both pronounciations are correct.

I just prefer the one without the 't' also.

What gets to me is that EVERYONE here (except me, the one who knows better) says "acrosst". No 't'! There is no freaking 't' in there, people!

OhmyeverlovingJeebus, that is irritating!

That particular word makes me want to correct them IMMEDIATELY. I am not usually a grammar/vocabulary snob - but for some reason, acrossT is irritating as hell.

I had an ex who would say it all the time and it drove me insane until I finally exploded with a vocabulary lesson.

Needless to say .... it didn't help.

By "here" do you mean where you live? Because, I don't put a "T" on the end of across. Just wondering.

What get me is when people put a "T" at the end of COUSIN. "Let me talk to my cousint about it." What the hell is a cousint??

I have a driveway. It's easy to note this because my car is often in it. And yet. And yet... people seem intent on parking in such a way to block some or all of my drive way. This despite the fact that parking is not at a premium on my block. WHY?

Because they like paying to get their car out of impound?
