What first world problem did you have today?

Sitting in a training session on Process Safety being presented by a guy from Texas who talks SO SLOW. Only 56,532 more PowerPoint slides to go. I should be out of here by midnight at best.

One of my coworkers doesn't like Chipotle for some reason (and no, I don't have the authority to fire him for that =( ) and is forcing us to take lunch a B Dubs instead.

Some asshole coworker is in our training class goofing off when we are trying to learn about the safety process and procedures. He keeps rolling his eyes and going to forums while giggling and obviously writing a mockery of the instructor. The stupid asshole NEVER pays attention during work, ALWAYS screws up everything up when it comes to safety.

I'm going to email the boss and hope he gets canned.

I choose the wrong gas station to fill up at
it was $0.20 cheaper down the street

People who don't like Chipotle: "I don't like it, it's not real Mexican"

No shit Sherlock. That doesn't prevent it from still being delicious though!

He doesn't like it because "it isn't good". Yet, he will gladly go to Panda Express...

My team is expanding and I had to move my cubicle to a different, newer part of the building with more empty cubes.

I'm really thirsty, but I can't carry a glass of water while moving with my walker and there's nowhere to sit in my apartment that's in reaching distance of a sink

my cat is laying on top of all the blankets in the bed, so I can't cover my legs

(which are freezing cold, since I'm wearing shorts and a knee immobilizer for the next 4-6 weeks thanks to last week's knee surgery)

I've been there. Now I open the refrigerator for a moment before I go to bed. Works every time!

Hope you start feeling better soon.

A coworker in a far away land sent a series of emails to all employees that really didn't need to be sent to all ~8,000 employees. Today was a lesson in sloppy hiring practices as we got to see just how many dumb bunnies managed to find employment with us as the replies to all started snowballing. Back when we were using Outlook, IT had the wisdom to restrict access to the all employees group. Not so with gmail.

Someone I have to deal with regularly smells horrifically bad. It's so bad that I can smell it from 15' away within seconds of the person walking by. The smell is that of stale sweat, dried liquor, and dried urine.

Ah, but he's not homeless. He just smells, looks, and acts like one.

Working with a professor IS a fwp.

I forgot to charge my car overnight so I had to drive the jeep to work, which meant no carpool lane for me.

The start of my weekend was delayed because an asshat coworker decided to add his personal life philosophy and unsupported conjectures to what was supposed to be a technical review. I had to go back and scrub the garbage out of his review. Eight pages became one page when the bullshit was deleted. Then I had to explain to his/my boss how the coworker's bullshit was bullshit. The bastard had the gall to request OT to complete his review.

Now different levels of management have different concepts of what constitutes bullshit. Upper management likes my edits. Lower management wants a lot of the bullshit put back in. Now we have three versions of the report: Bullshit™, No Bullshit™, and Bullshit-lite™ and I've been tasked with developing a fourth version, Bullshit-lite Extra™. I'm leaning toward sending the client all four versions with instructions to follow their bliss.

Bullshit-lite Extra™ prevailed and was sent to the client. Now the client is pissed and wants a meeting to discuss the report. I get to attend the meeting to explain the bullshit. The coworker who authored the bullshit won't be there. I suppose simply telling the client that we're a bunch of bozos wouldn't do.
