So I figure we all need to vent about work so here is a thread to do it in
And suprise! I have something to bitch about
SO I was at work, and we have about 8 people who are learning to become groomers.
I am currently a bather, which means I could become a groomer if I went through the same training as them.
The problem is, alot of these people arent good enough to become groomers, alot of them have no training and stil dont know how to be a BATHER correctly.
So these two students were washing a Rotty, and they were asking me what shampoo to use and all these other things. So I told them what you are supposed to do, step by step, and showed them. So I finish what I am doing and I notice they arent doing ANYTHING I showed them, they are putting the wrong shampoo on and basically [censored] things up. I ooint it out to them as nicely as possible. They blow me off
Then my boss/their teacher tells them they are doing it wrong and asks me to show them how to do it. So I show them again and I act like its the first time.
Then they needed to dry the dog, so they tied him to a cage. Which is a BIG NO NO, I once again as nice as possible show them the RIGHT way to do it, and explain that if MY Boss/Thier Teacher saw them do that she would basically kill them.
Then they start to dry the dog, its hard to explain what they were doing wrong but let me put it this way, We a dryer that can strip paint off a house if you needed it too, so instead of using the faster safer way they were just acting a fool.
I pointed it out to them,nicely, and I got this really bitchy reply "I've been doing this a year and a half .how long have you been doing this?"
"5 Months, and I've been doing it the RIGHT way for 5 months, and if this the way you do it, than you BEEN doing it the WRONG way for 1 1/2."
So I was just looking out for the dog, and I was trying to show them the right way to do things, so that A) They dont indanger the animal B) So they know the RIGHT WAY C) So they wouldnt piss off my boss, who would then take it out on the rest of us
SO was I wrong? AM I being a jerk?

<font color="purple">People can be the most ignorant people when you are trying to help them out. I’m sorry Marks that it happened to you. You seem like a great guy. And anyone that doesn’t properly take care of an animal at his or her job needs to be fired. Next time, let them fuck up so the boss can see. I know it’s sad for the animal, but still, sometimes people who mess with other people or animals like that need that ass kicking.
Now, on with my vent:
Ok, so last Monday, I was sick and not feeling that great and I come to work and the first thing that happens is, I get pulled into my boss’ office and he yells at me about billing. Now, billing is kind of hard if I do not have everyone’s insertion orders and not pointing fingers at anyone back in the sale’s room, I explained that to him. So, anyways, after leaving his office, I was livid, because I am TRYING to do my job, but sometimes I can’t when I do not get the proper items that I need from the sales people. It’s funny because he thinks that I know everything about the billing and about what goes on in the sales room, but I don’t. I do not sell nor do I give prices for billing. That isn’t my job and I already do 50 billion things here with shitty pay, so I am not going to add another responsibility to my plate. No, sire, bob!
So, anyways, I go to my editorial desk and here comes one of the sales girls, and she asks me the same question that she has asked me 50 billion times. So, not having a working computer in the back and working on a computer in the editorial desk, I had three desks that I was really working from. So, she comes along and I go, really snotty to her, “Just put it on whatever desk you want.” And she leaves all pissed off, which granted she had a right to. So, I finally get her and the other sales girl’s insertion orders and I am looking through them and say, “Ok, this is supposed to be billed monthly.” And she replies back, “You told me that it would be easier for you to bill it weekly.” And I reply back, “No, it would be easier for me to do it monthly. And why are you putting the blame for your mistake on me?” And she replies, “You know Kristina, you don’t have to have the attitude. You are acting like a child. You are so unprofessional and you act like you are 10. Grow up.” And I reply back, “Well, I wouldn’t have the attitude if you would do your job correctly.” And I walked away. But you see, her mistake on the insertion orders was not why I was upset with her, it was the fact that she turned down the radio in the sales room to listen to me get yelled at. Oh, I was pissed. But, I calmed down in like 10 minutes and told my co-worker what happened and she told me that when her dad (the big boss) went back there, the sales girl goes, “She’s getting overwhelmed again, Bill. You need to talk to her.” And my co-worker rolled her eyes and walked away.
So, the next day, she doesn’t show up for work, which I know that she wasn’t going to. She didn't come to work because one because she got yelled at by me for her inconsistent non-working behavior and two because she didn’t want to come to work because she wanted to act like a baby. Now, she had diabetes and well, it is a horrible disease, but she uses it constantly to get out of work! CONSTANTLY. She has taken more days off than she has been here and has been hypocritical about situations that have gone on in the newsroom with former employees and her. It’s just a big pain in the ass.
So, Wednesday rolls along and it is deadline and I’m happy to be at work. Just happy and she comes to my desk in the editorial section the minute I got in and comes over to me to tell me about this ad that is not running and then turns to the front page and yells at me for something that I have done every week and leaves the dummy (which is how the paper looks before it is filled in with editorial, ads, before it gets printed) on my desk. So, I grab it and go to the back and as nicely as possible I go, “What is wrong with this? I do it every week and now you have a problem with it. I go, what’s wrong?” And she goes, “You know what is wrong, you are talking to me like a child and I am not a child.” And I reply, “And neither am I. So what now?” And she goes, “For the past two days you have come back here with your snooty, ‘I’m too good for you attitude’ and I am sick of it.” So, I reply, “Are you upset because I’m younger than you and I have more authority over you?” Ignoring me she continues, “And you know what, you come into the newsroom with your unprofessional manner, dress and your child like mentality…” and then I just ignored her from that point on, so when she was done with this so-called speech I threw the dummy in the trash and I go, “You know what, I would love to continue this, but I have a job to do and so do you. It’s deadline and I am sorry that we can’t continue this lovely talk, but I got to run.” And as I leave the room and she grabs her stuff, clocks out and leaves.
Well, before I came in, I guess she told the big boss that she was quitting and that that Wed. was her two weeks notice. And to be honest, I am kind of sad. I really like her and think she is a great person, but she is very spoiled and likes to shove it into people’s faces. She also likes to be the bully about things and I don’t play that, nor should anyone else.
So, after this whole mess was over and done with, the big boss comes up to me and congratulates me for sticking up for myself and all the co-workers were telling me that she wanted to yell at me and found an excuse to do so.
Well, to make matters worse, she doesn’t talk to me and when I ask her a question, she ignores and goes straight to the boss and says that I am being unreasonable and I am losing everything that she doesn’t hand me in the first place. It’s annoying.
So, anyways to make matters worse, the video store made me work on Sunday and that is the only day that I have off from both jobs. So, the night before I hardly got any sleep and Sunday night, I didn’t get any sleep either, so I called yesterday off. Both jobs I did not attend. One because I needed a break and two because I was feeling really light headed and sick. So, now I feel like crap still and my co-worker is not here (probably because I am here), so eh, I’m keeping my engine a runnin’ and keep on truckin’.

Sorry to be the sunshine on your...um...parade (can't really think of the opposite of a parade), but I found out today that all the post commanders are pissed off about the decision that had me looking for other work. Apparently they like me so much that they couldn't stand to see me go and are making a decision that affects all of the Army just because of little ol' me...not really. I have no idea who any of these people are, but they are attempting to flex their mus-culs and forcing things back to the way they were. Which is of course awesome for me as it means that I will still be of the employed variety.

<font color="green"> Short version:
My manager is a bitch. I only have 3 hours this week. I'm spending my free time looking for a new job that won't suck as much.
Long Version: My manager scedules me the bare minimum she can. Then, when I do something wrong, she glares at me with this "I'm always right" look that has kind of a piercing feeling to it. Then she asks me why are you doing that wrong. So I got tired of that and started giving her the answer of "If I knew what I was doing wrong, then I would be doing it right now wouldn't I" or "Well, I don't know LuAnn I must have been trained wrong". But she only comes out to yell at me for doing things wrong when we're extremely dead, because she spends the rush periods hiding in the office so she doesn't have to do any REAL work. She just counts money(something that the good managers do when we're dead).
EXTREMELY short version: I HATE LUANN SHE'S A BITCH! </font color>

Wow, great input, hey thanks for posting that, I'm sure when your old enough you can get a job. Hey arent you supposed to be in school? Come on young man if you keep skipping 8th grade classes who will make fart noises in study hall?
The things I hate most about work is that there are only 3 people in my department (me, my supervisor, and my supervisor's best friend). So anytime a new client comes in I get stuck with the crappy ones (the ones with little or no commission).
Another thing that sucks is that they get together in each others offices and whisper and giggle shit all the time, not to mention they baby talk to each other and call each other boopie.
Just some things are irritating. But, hell, I guess everyone has got to deal with shit to get a paycheck.

I agree with you there. The internet can sometimes suck, especially when you come across shit you didn't want to know. Example: I found out my kitten has worms (no not from the internet), but when at work today I decided to try and figure out how to treat it because the vet won't take him untill next Saturday, so I came across a bunch of information that's really disturbing. Yuck! I felt sick to my stomach after reading some of that shit. Not to mention, I feel really bad for my cat now.

Try a movie theater, or a video store, or a bookstore, or PetsMart (Dont be a cashier, Dont be a stocker, Be a Bather or work in the fish/small animal deparment.)
Hell work at Best Buy.
ANYWHERE but fast food, it pays better but preparing food sucks, do ANYTHING else. Be a waiter (you get mad tips)
DangerSeeker
09-24-2004, 10:25 AM
He's right. Fast food is the "I just need a job and don't care how much it sucks" job. If you need a job, work somewhere even remotely tied to someting you like. It'll be easier to get the job when you interview because you have built in product knowledge, and your day will be surrounded by at least some like-minded people.
That being said, you're going to see any job you have for the next four years as sucking, but one day will look back fondly, forgetting what you were paid while you were there.

Try and work at Verizon, you can get upwards of 8 dollars an hour inputting code. THen again you will be very bored inputting numbers all day.
Also thanks, for saying the next 4 years will suck, because frankly its true! I am just now finding a job where after some on the job training I can make 40k a year (It goes up from there), and thats just grooming dogs 40 hours a week. Right now I am barely making 12k a year, and also paying for school. I wouldnt even know what to do with 40k+ after making less than 200 a week for the past 3 years.
Hell after I get out of school, I could work part time grooming, and then do something else full time and make some good money.
Also when I get married my wife, current girlfriend, should get a good job (After all the schooling shes got at UT of Austin) so hopefully money wont be an issue. Then again when isnt money an issue.

Welcome back to the Things I hate about work thread.
Bad day today
Part of my dog is cutting nails on dogs, a very "fun" thing to do. I've been bit, scratched and cut trying to cut nails.
So I go to the front because someone needs a nail trim. i start to take the dog into the back, the lady freaks out. "I have to be here with my dogs, so she doesnt get stressed" Okay this is starting out bad already. I have never had a good experince with the owner watching
SO its a Greyhound the most annoying dogs when it comes to nail trims.
SO these nails are LOOOOOOONG and THICK. I'm a big guy and I have to press HARD to cut these suckers. So I cut the nail and the dog yelps (A normal response) I comment that its no big deal that the dog is fine then woman responds "No it is a big deal, you hurt him" I nicely point out "There are no nerve endings in a dogs nail, its like cutting hair or your own nail, as long as I dont hit the quick (the vien) Its all good" So she gives me a look, and I start cutting agian the lady then starts bitching that I'm not using the clippers that we used last time, (Here is a secert WE ONLY HAVE ONE KIND OF CLIPPERS WE ARE ALLOWED TO USE) I say we only have ONE kind. She complains that the kind I am using a shredding the nail.
If SHE really cared about how the nail looked she would wait THAT long for the dogs nails to be cut.
So I cut agian the dog yelps. The lady freaks out.
Oh did I mention the best part? She has here WHOLE family watching us. Then here little daughter comments "How come out puppy is crying?"
Then lady to my face says "Because they arent doing it right sweety and now we are leaving"
I just respond "Have a great day and vist your vet if you want your dogs nails cut because you cant come back here
:-)"
She makes a noise and starts to say something else, but I walked to the backroom and out her view and earshot.
But I was pissed, I was doing it right, frankly I know her dogs name and I know we have her info in the computer at work. I am so tempted to find out where she lives and play some horrible prank on her. Or her dog (maybe dye it blue)

For what it's worth, I'm always really cool to the groomers at the pet store. They are underpaid and have a tough job. I also make sure I tip. Not all dog owners are obsessive freaks.
marksiwel
10-25-2004, 04:57 PM
Let me let you in on something, The GROOMERS arent underpaid. They make anywhere from 40-70K a year.
Its the bathers (what I am) who wash ALL the dogs that includes the dogs you have, and the groomers, Dry ALL the dogs (also includes groomers) who are underpaid.
Awhile ago you used to get commission but most places have stopped doing that, and now pay hourly.
If I got commission I would make 500+ a week as opposed to the miserable 250ish I make now
So like today was a slow day (its raining here in Coppell/Irving) so thats most of our business. But I washed and dried EVERY dog that came in today. I made about 50 bucks? One of the groomers I worked with made about 150. Is that fair? No. But then agian I didnt get bit today like she did. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

To be honest, I learned a couple things today at work, one, never be late without calling during an election special, two, if you are a new employee, don't ask for a special award for your one month employment, three, never eat Chilli Cheese Fries (even when the only thing you have been craving is french fries) when you are sick and three, ignore newbie fucktard co-workers. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif</font color>

um...we dont groom cats at our place, not since the old manager had to have her thumb sewed back on.
But 50 Dollars is the norm when it comes to cats, alot of times they charge so much due to the fact they dont want cats coming to the shop.
Go to Petsmart buy some of these kitty wipes, and learn to cut your cats nails. Or grab your cat cover him in shampoo throw him in a pool and run.

As far as trimming the nails on my cat, it's a battle. Sometimes i win, sometimes Thurston wins but neither of us leave unscathed.

As for your troubles Mark, I think 99% of the issue is the location in which you work. Las Colinas is full of wealthy, very bored soccer moms who can only feel effective while beating up on someone in the "help" category. In fact, you work in an entire corridor of towns where people treat their dogs better than they do their spouses.
My mom lives in a small section of Ft. Worth with a similar problem. I love to watch ladies buying cat litter while wearing Chanel raincoats and stiletto heels. Don't get me wrong, I love stilettos too, but I think they are for falling over in while drinking. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

UGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another bad day.
So at work we had a Gay Manger she is 30, she ended up leaving before they could fire her. The reason she left? She was sleeping with a 16 year old girl who worked under her (no pun intended)
The other problem is the Manager (here on out called Diana) had a 4 year relationship with Michelle, just some random woman she was living with.
So Diana bought Michelle a lizard, as a "I'm sorry I cheated on you and left you for a 16 year old girl"
Michelle gives the lizard back to Petsmart 4 weeks later It now becomes Petsmarts agian. Also as I understand the law it stops becoming Dianas after she gave it as a gift to someone else.
Petsmart sells it for a Dollar to a woman I work with,Libby. The woman give it to her son. The son gives it to his friend.
Diana starts harrasing Michelle wanting the Lizard back. Michelle says she gave it back to Petsmart. Someone at Petsmart gives Libbys cellphone number to Diana.
Diana starts calling up Libby threating to call the police. Also she leaves vague threats for her on her voice mail and over the phone.
Libby tells the management, they do nothing. Libby arranges with Michelle to give the Lizard back to Michelle in exchange that she buys another Lizard. Michelle being a nice person says "sure no problem I just want this to end" Michelle buys another lizard and leaves it at Petsmart to be picked up.
SO the guy with the orignal lizard is walking up the front way into Petsmart to return the lizard. Diana shows up, takes the lizard from him, and gives him a fake reciept saying that it is a voucher for the lizard. Then Diana goes into the store, and finds Jessie a manager she used to boss around. She convinces Jessie to return Michelle's Lizard money to HER.
So he does it.
Diana has no reciept, doesnt have the credit card used, nor does she have written or verbal premission of Michelle to do a refund. She also has no ownership rights on the lizard that Michelle just bought, because THEY ARENT A COUPLE ANYMORE, Even if they were she has no legal rights in Texas anyway as far a property goes.(there are no approved legal Gay Unions that I know of here in Texas)
So Jessie looks up the Purchase finds Michelle's credit card number and instead of doing the logical thing, and refunding the money onto Michelles card, HE GIVES DIANA THE MONEY!
Is everyone with me. He basically gave someone elses money to a more or less stranger.
SO Libby finds out what is going on, she gets mad. Diana before she leaves tells Libby "It isnt over yet"
So we tell Jessie about her threat. He claims this is the first he has ever heard of the whole Lizard thing (which is a lie, I have spoken of it with him MANY MANY MANY times)
He asks me if I heard Diana threaten Libby. I say Yeah this isnt the first time, I've heard it lots of times. Libbys talked to you about it last week!
Then someone comes in asking about what to do with the lizard. I make a joke "make sure Diana didnt get to it, their just might be a green rock with googely eyes glued on it.
Jessies turns on me and says "Dont get involved in this, stop making smart ass comments"
WOOOOOOOOOAH! Dont get involved? I overheard the comments. I had to walk Libby to her car several times. I've sat there and heard Diana over the phone threaten Libby. Too Late I'm involed.
I tell jessie "hey man, its just a joke, its funny admit it. Also I dont want to be involved but that means you gotta go walk Libby to her car tonight."
He starts going off on a tangent about something, I'm so mad I dont even hear I tell him to "Grow up, man. Just grow up and take a joke" and walk away.
Another thing, Jessie is the guy who yelled at me for returning a Snickers bar to a old woman because she didnt know it had nuts. The woman didnt have a receipt, but then agian I sold her the snicker and she never left my site.She was also 80!
So in short I work with stupid people. And Diana never showed up after work (Which also means I didnt get to use my Tire Iron on her)

she Espinosa. I have called for a vote to not only change her call sign to "Linus" but to also award her the Reauchambeaux Cup for actually telling the story about her 'Blankie' in from of not only myself, but one of the new Lt's and the Major.
So far I think I have 7 votes for the changes and 1 vote against. Of course, hers is the one that is against the changes.

Powell wants to get her to crosstrain. She's trying to get her to become a housewife, because she seems more suited to that than any work she's doin' now. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
She actually did say that.

We're talking about work on this thread, and anyone reading this doesn't really know what the hell we're actually talking about.
