Cat claws and just a little teeth

Posted in: Everyday

I don’t even know where to start. First:

Honey, your card is now recharged. I tried to delete the previous entry to protect your pin (not that it would matter since they don’t know what company the card is through), but for some reason, it wouldn’t let me. So it’s passcoded. :D

Next, the first thing that really irritated me this week. I’m sleeping, right? And when I’m sleeping, you sure as hell be Joe calling me at midnight or I’m going to figure out where you live and take your head off. I’m a real grump when I’m woken up in the middle of the night. I actually have smacked Joe without meaning too in a half asleep protest to advances.

I don’t remember what morning it was, but it was around midnight when my cell rings. Drowsily, I did the pawing thing across the nightstand, found the phone, and took a glance at it. The caller I.D. said “private call”. I flipped it open and groggily said hello… I didn’t want to ignore it, it could of been Joe using some other method than a phone card to call me.

Boy was I wrong.

After I said my greeting, I was responded with this:

“Gawd I’m so horny, I could go down all over you.”

My eyebrows and whole face scrunched up and I either said this outloud or thought it, “WHAT THE FUCK?”

First, my pathetically tired brain was trying to place the voice. I didn’t recognize it. The next thing my brain went through was trying to think of any strange guys besides clients and work related people that would call to mess with me. Still couldn’t place the voice.

The conversation between me and this individual slowly went down hill.

His first offense? Trying to pose as my significant other.

His second offense? Continuing to try and convince me that I really was as horny as he was and wanted phone sex.

I think I hung up on him several times. And he kept calling back! Mother fucking bastard. I called him that on the phone too. By our last conversation I informed him that there are 1-800 numbers for his problem as well as internet resources that he could easily jack off too.

After that, I begrudgingly turned my phone off until morning. I usually leave it on in case the sweetheart calls.

After that, my week went up and then down.

My patience with RS being a know it all has been running thin. First, she micromanages people when she is only a level 1 tech. Second, that’s poor managing and KE will be lucky if the staff for the lab stick around this summer as a result. I already know from casual talk how the highers feel about her. I tried my hardest to explain this to her and that people are going to give her problems if she continuously watches them like a hawk and treats them with distrust. Our goal is not to find every little problem in a higher. Our goal is to help them fix those problems so that they can perform better at the labwork and not make them feel degraded. What irritates me the most is that she ALWAYS has to be right. Why does this piss me off so much? I’m the one with the fucking degree. She just started doing things with soil barely 6 months ago. That doesn’t make her a freaking expert!

At least I am humble enough to admit when I’m wrong. I actually cannot wait until I’m on my big job and I don’t have to be around the office as often since I’ll be able to do most of my work at the trailer for the job (lab/office is on site in a trailer). The other thing that irritated me was that we had training on friday to run the nuclear gauge.

She’s there for maybe a total of 2 hours if you add it all together. THE OFFICE WILL NOT COLLAPSE IF YOU AREN’T THERE. I personally think she shouldn’t be badged up as a result. Or we should have held the training in a different location away from the office and thus distractions. If I get asked my opinion on it, that’s what I’m telling them. The company paid this guy good money for us to be trained. That means you better fucking be at that training and not multitasking.

Doesn’t matter how boring it is.

If anyone should have been leaving frequently, it should have been me and LN. We’re the ones working with clients and have major project deadlines that can’t be met without us completing certain parts.

::le sigh:: I just don’t know sometimes.

Today, has been an okay day. I’ve been relaxing, cleaning, rearranging furniture, and watching Stargate Atlantis Season 2. I’ll be headed south to Tonopa on Monday for like 2 days I think. And then I’ll be back in Elko helping with the Mine Expo in between proposals, reports, and anything else the two PEs above me can think of.

Its actually kind of nice to have two to go to for small tasks between my bigger ones.

And now, I think its time to go back to being a bum!

    hey kristina,

    Yeah I lost my index card with my contact numbers in SLC airport. So some perv has your number, well whatever. I’m sure you can figure out what to do about that, unfortunately we live in a country of assholes. Which lucky me I’m defending..yay.. Well the phones don’t work where i am right now. Dont let it bother you just eliminate the problem and change your number. If someone is giving you a hard time confront them and explain your difficulty. Compromise can sometime be reached, or just go outside and have a scrap thats always a great resolution to a problem. lol. I guess we all have our battles huh? Well send me some letters..

    love you,

    joe

    And you’re teasing me about losing things! If you lost at SLC, then how did you call me earlier this week? : confused :

    He hasn’t called back. The other thing is that there’s no way he could have known a female would be answering the cell phone. That number isn’t registered in my name, it’s under our VPs name and G told me that the cell numbers are unlisted.

    While I’d like compromise, there is no compromise with RS. Either she’s right or she’s right. You will always be wrong and unless you pull out supporting documentation and prove her wrong, she’ll continue to ignore you and what you have to say.

    In the class, we actually got into an argument about nuclear energy. She had no studies or research to back herself up because she was basing all of her opinion on 2nd hand spoken word.

    I was mean enough to tell her that there are magazines related to our conversation sitting on the tables in the waiting area and that she really needed to pick them up and read them every now and then before she tried to argue about anything on an engineering level.

    >_> I’m too big for my mouth sometimes.

    I can’t believe how creepy some people are. That someone finds a contact list and just randomly calls people just to be an a**. Creeps.
    I have had my share of crappy managers and I can say they get theirs eventually. It always comes out how bad they are.

    Ew. Perverted people. Usually not too fun. I hate when this one guy dials my number by mistake. >_

  5. Kim Says:

    Ew. At least that creepy guy hasn’t continued to bother you.

    I think there is some sort of unwritten law stating that every place of work must have a resident know-it-all. How annoying. Just hang in there.
