Work Is Crap (TT 47)

Remember my Sarcastic Boss’ comments Thursday Thirteen from early this school year? I received bad news at work late Wednesday. I am not ready to blog about the particulars as the wound is fresh, but I am willing to share my …

13 Snarkier Than Thou Entry Level Administrator’s Thoughts about her Craptacular Job

I suppose saying “fuck you” would be unprofessional.
Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the people doing it.
People say I have a bad attitude. I say “fuck ‘em.”
Wipe your mouth. There’s still a lot of bullshit around your lips.
From now on we’ll fuck up things my way.
I love my fucking job.
I have charts and graphs to back myself up. So fuck off.
I’d rather answer your dumb questions now than correct your dumb mistakes later.
No coffee, no workee
Stress is when you wake up screaming and realize you haven’t fallen asleep yet.
I’m not opinionated. I’m just always right.
Hold the line while I pretend to talk to my supervisor about your fucking problem.
I had a life, but my job ate it.

On a positive note, I have only 5 days with students, 6 days with teachers, and 12 days left in my 2007-08 contract. The end is nigh.

May I apply your list to my craptacular job as well? I’m sorry you got bad news.

Let me know if/when you want to vent and rant about it!

I am stealing #4 to drop at my next work meeting. But I will give you a writer’s credit.

I’m sorry. That’s crappy. You deserve better. I’m thinking an “unhappy” hour is due for this weekend. What do you think IRBB and KDW?

I’m going to tell you this - I’ve been holding back. (I know it’s hard to believe that I held something back…)

I see you running your own charter school where you teach and administrate. Same kids, different vibe. You are surrounded by happy teachers - people you like and admire. I see you smiling, happy, stressed but you like it that way.

I can only guess at the news. I hate that you put your precious heart up over and over again to be rejected by the less worthy - did you ever do my assignment? I think it will help.

Sorry you’ve gotten bad news, but sometimes it leads to MUCH better things.
Happy TT, Hope you’ll visit my 34th T13…Weird Word Verifications” at The Cafe.

I’m sorry work sucks right now, especially since it’s the end of the year, and you should be rejoicing!

Oh, I love # 2 & #5. I’ll have to try to remember those–they apply so frequently.

{{{hugs}}} Sorry about the bad news.

I had a good laugh when I got to the end of your TT and saw you’re in education:
I have 14 days left with students, 5 days after that with my EAs, then BLISS!
But who’s counting?????????????????????
on May 29, 2008 at 9:40 pm Susan Helene Gottfried

Only five more days! We have six over here; I’m sad about it.

But once you’re done for the year, what will you have to entertain us with all summer?

Amen to #11!

Crap. Sorry, dude. This blows, whatever the bad news actually entails.
