I applied for state health insurance.

In order to complete your application, you need to do a phone interview. They send you a letter giving you the phone number and a one-hour window in which you need to complete your interview.

I'm 45 minutes into my 1-hour window, and every single time I call I get a recording telling me that due to high call volume, all representatives are busy. Please try again at a later time.

HOW THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT? THIS IS THE ONLY FUCKING MOTHERFUCKING TIME YOU MOTHERFUCKERS FUCKING GAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I ever interview for another job and they ask me what my shortcomings are, I will have to confess that I make up unflattering names for my co-workers.

Did your mental image look anything like this? Because that isn't far off the mark. Just put a beard and a sweater on the pig and you're there.

Yes. And for some reason i'm imagining a tank-top. and a smell of coffee.

Oh, no - no tank top. He's quite proper, except for the candy snarfing. (I should add that this is a community candy jar to which he never contributes.)

He does swill coffee all day, though - because it's free.

First off, it's Monday so right off the bat you know today is going to be asstastic. I get stuck doing 5 days of work for me and my co-worker. My supervisor then realizes I have too much on my plate and starts sending some of my work out to people I really don't want following my work (because they mess shit up and then I have to correct it anyway). When I approached a co-worker about a particular case, she gets all snotty with me. She'd been cyber Mondaying it up all morning and I guess I interrupted her.

I'm trying to quit drinking Mountain Dew but due to the stress of the morning, I said "fuck it". Then the damn pop machine wouldn't take my damn nickel and all I had was exact change. I wish I would have called in.

Well I was supposed to run today, but I said 'fuck it'. Wine was far more important today. I'll do it tomorrow.

Perhaps I should revisit that wine thread...

SEE NOW...if I wind up drinking tonight instead of burning calories, it's on your head.

I'm not going to try and sway you either way. But sometimes it's just got to be done.

I just caved in to peer pressure a bit too easily I fear.

Hospital ER doc tonight: "Explain to me again why you even THOUGHT you could bench six 45-lb plates?"

Your evening is my bedtime. If you get trashed tonight, I want a full account of your evening, Mister.

Okay, now Mr. Norhythmhavin Fattycandysnarfer is bangin' his head to whatever the eff he's listenin' to on his iTunes. When can I go home?

Why are we alleging that these trousers are made of chambray? Chambray is a plain-weave fabric - the fabric these pants are made of is a twill!

today isn't a good day for me either. my husband is having major problems with his boss at his job. we were both hoping it would get better, but it just isn't. we're looking for a new job for him, but with the tough economy it isn't easy. but i don't know how much more my husband can take? i worry for him.

Sorry to hear that. I once had a problem with a boss (not the head boss), but he made my life difficult. So, I found a new job with in 30 days, and surprise I quit.
