Do you really sign it “MG70”?

“No fair! You copied my list!!!!”

I must have architected my list first. Being a team player, I will let you get grounded in the post and buy-in. Together we can re-double our efforts to exceed expectations.

Oh, and can’t people at least put their phones on vibrate instead of leaving on those scratchy, annoying downloaded ringtones/country songs?

Lol :) No, I sign my real name and last name initial on it.

I’m a H.R. chick — and H.R. people irritate the hell outta me! Cannot wait to retire in six months. The PC crap that goes on in this office is a sin (literally).

My NUMBER ONE pet peeve. Nothing worse that someone who thinks they're a big shot who has to amplify their voice while talking because they they're too damn lazy to pick up the receiver. It's like listening to Chopper Charlie in an echo chamber.

Anyone in a staff meeting.

More so, those perky people in a Monday 8:30 a.m. staff meeting.

Who's the genius that thought it was a good idea to schedule a meeting first thing on a Monday morning.

There’s a bimbo whose office isn’t close, but she speaks LOUDLY on the phone, etc., in baby talk. She’s over 50. “Hewwo. How yeeeooou?” “Do you need a witto bweak?” Arrrrggh! Thank God for headphones and loud music, which doesn’t really drown her out — but it helps.

And then there’s the arrogant guy sharing my cube wall who peppers every conversation with malapropisms, and says “also too” at least 25 times an hour.

HELP ME!

I'll burst a blood vessel trying to make some extra noise when I hear this sort of thing going on. Just once I want to hear one of these clowns 'fess up that they're in the can---that'll make the person on the other end of the line feel all cuddly.

I did an independent study program, along with sitting for a certification test. But before all of that I had on the job training at a clinic I worked for and about 5 years experience at that time. I have now been doing it for about 15 years.

All of those 80’s and 90’s buzz words desperately need retired.

Not at all. We just need to recapitalize them to meet our new paradigm. How else are we supposed to be transformational during this time of strategic rightsizing?

That’s my pet peeve, too. The ones who never shut up and never ask about anybody else. I used to have a coworker who, if somebody said, “My kid got an A on his report card,” she’d say, “Well, MY kid...” Or, “I’m going to Hawaii for vacation,” “Well, MY vacation...” Or, “I got into a car accident,” “Well, MY accident...” She never asked a question or commented about anyone else, ever. Every response, everything she said, was about herself.
