You are the COO - which you keep reminding us of on a daily basis - you should be able to do an operating (the first O in your title) budget by yourself.

so when you are pregnant and you need a job you are an asshole? Or just the ones that lie about it? How about they lie because the won't be hired otherwise? What if they NEED the job, ya know, to care for their impending arrival? No matter how you try to justify your feelings you still come off as an asshole for judging those whose reasons you do not know.

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.

for the same reason we cover our boobs, ass, and do not discuss certain topics that is none of your business!

You are just discriminating ALL MEDICAL information about a person is none of your business. You are discriminating because a man can want a new job any time in his life. What if she was adopting? Because you do get time off now too for that. If you boss fail to prepare once he/she knew the person was pregnant that is on them. There is no law preventing your boss from hiring a temp. to help you or working out a compromise with the outgoing mom. Discrimination is discrimination.

dream job:UN assistant to a diplomat current: account manager and assistant to a big asshole" -------------------------------

I just have my high school diploma and have the same job as you. Pro tip: your Masters means nothing nowadays.

GED here. Project Manager, and I have an assistant.

Just because we have similar titles, does not mean we do the same thing. Managing money for the whole state of NY does require a masters degree

To the poster: "Whoa - the staple puller has a name? It's called an erkie? I never knew."

OP here - I never knew it had a name either until we bought some for a trade show last spring. Now we have running jokes about them at the office.

I judge our IT department based on what websites are blocked.

" "There is no eye candy in my office. The ugly stick had a field day in here. I need somehting to look at."

Me too. Most of the people here are great, but I kinda want a bunch to leave or get fired just so we can increase the chances of getting a hot guy in here for once. " I already slept with all the hot guys in my office.. time for a new batch to come in.

"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! -S

"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.**
