Smoking will kill you. Cigarettes are NOT your "friend."


<<<<<<<~~ Likes it that I don't smoke cigarettes anymore

Likes that you specified cigarettes.... .

When I go shopping and I want a specific item & name brand, I won't buy anything else if they don't have it! I'll never substituent , I've learned it's never the same and I'd end up disappointed!

When a TV network airs a season or two (or more) of a really great show then cancels it.
Examples: Off the Map, Army Wives, The Bridge, and some others I can picture but can't think to name.
Am worried that's happened to Code Black.

when people offer unsolicited advice.

There are times when we ask for suggestions, but why do some people feel a need to offer their advice, aka "give direction" when no one is asking for it?

i find this completely irritating and exhausting. i don’t want to have to battle someone about what they think i should be doing, when i didn’t ask for them to fix something that isn’t broken.

The point of the conversation gets lost because the person is really only interested in advising.

I've been wondering about Code Black as well.

I remember when the bastards took a highly rated show with Gena Davis as a female president off! No warning, no reason given, it was just GONE!

SooOoOOoooo, I just got home from picking up my new eye glasses. I like them a lot. But whatever happened to being able to see after you get your new glasses??? LMAO (or not), as my taxi driver took me home, I wore them and could only see the trees purrfectly. Big street signs, I could see. Regular street signs, yanno-- the name of the street posted at street corners, I could not see them. I was like..... *wtf!?!?!*

Apparently it takes two weeks for my eyes to get accustomed to the new lens prescription, but still (!), what the heck?!?!?!!



<<<<<~~ still "blind" for a couple of weeks yet, I guess

I hate hate hate it when anyone else sings John & Yoko's Happy Christmas War Is Over!

I am this way as well. I am pretty loyal to certain brands and items and the few times that I have purchased another brand I have been greatly disappointed. Now, I just stick to what I like and know works best for me which saves time, energy and disappointment in the long run so I can focus my energy on other more pressing matters.

The office kitchen. I'm peeving all over the place .

That whenever a new hire (office manager, coach, etc etc) comes in and makes changes right off the bat! They don't even let their feet get wet before they are changing this and that! I swear sometimes I think their egos overrule their brains!

[girl_dee]

people at work throwing the recyclables in the trash when there are three recycle bins right next to the trash!

Getting a soiled menu at a restaurant!

If they can't keep the menus clean, are they keeping the other parts clean.....

Yes!

Greasy fingerprints on top of the paper towel roll.

Leaving a half sheet of paper towel on the roll without replacing it.

Leaving 2 tablespoons of coffee in the pot first thing in the morning so that the next person to arrive has to make the next pot.

We also keep a scoop by the ice bucket to avoid people reaching their hands into the bucket for ice. Just last week I walked in to see a coworker using the scoop AND her unwashed hands to get ice out of the bucket at the same time. Eww. I don’t use the ice because I’ve long suspected such.

The list goes on...

Sorry but I was surprised that it's spelled that way too. Look at it like this; you are unique! People get my legal name screwed up all the time, too.

As for myself, in relation to dee's crumbs, we have a smoker's receptacle on the sidewalk. I can't COUNT the number of times I will find cigarette butts on the ground, less than 5 feet away from it. They must have been in some difficulty in order to not be able to walk those 5 feet over.

Must be bad lungs because of all that smoking.

People that are piggies either don't care or would not recognize themselves as such, picture or no picture.

It is a no-win.

Re: the ice. I used to bring my own bag of ice to work. I would put the bag inside another bag, put my name on it and tie it in a bow first and then use a twist tie.

Yes, I am just that OCD (in case you hadn't figured that out by now).

Every damn day, people would open it up and take ice anyway.

They would leave the bag open with the twist tie on the freezer shelf. At least I was warned.

Oh, I used to work in a place that had a cute little sign over the sink that said: "Your mother does not work here, please clean up after yourself and do your dishes".

By the end of the day, the sink would be full of dirty dishes.

The staff? RN's and licensed clinical social workers, both females and males (no stereotypes intended).

We could never catch the culprits.
