    My peeve is people who don't know the difference between bi-weekly pay and semi-monthly. I just wrote a contract for someone and I ended up doing as weekly, because it was confusing several people.

    Car salesmen love those people.

    I had like 8 meetings along with a ton of meeting prep this past week.

    That was not living the dream.

    What's worse, a meeting you have to do a ton of prep for, or a meeting you are invited to at the last minute that you WOULD have done a lot of prep for?

    That's easy.
    I love getting dragged into a meeting part way through that I wasn't even invited to so I can get rapid-fire grilled by an angry exec when there is no hope of me answering the ultra specific questions about dates or communications.
    Fuck

    I have this conversation often... and when I do I’m calling someone in HR or payroll. Still shocked on how people stay employed sometimes

    That's oilfield shit. Agriculture has no time for safety.

    The phrase "reaching out" can fuck off, and people who say it should headbutt a locomotive.

    People who turn a simple question that should take 5 minutes to answer, into a meeting I have to now attend with 3 other people later this week.

    Like, Christ, I’m going to just make an assumption and move on with my life if you can’t tell what’s going on in the area you look after.

    Montellier sparkling water with lemon flavour tastes like a nice, refreshing, bubbly water with a full squirt of Pledge furniture polish in it.
