Maybe? She said she wasn't the one who came up with the name, it was another person she worked with, but who knows what he thought.

My manager tells me that I’ve been doing the heavy lifting because he has nothing to do without a budget to buy expensive marketing software.

So he’s basically doing nothing with the software we do have because he’s pissy about not getting what he wants.

He’s a former Army Intelligence officer. Makes me wonder what shape our Army is in these days.

So our GM has been dating one of the bartenders low-key for like a year. No big deal really, as there’s no explicit rule in our company about it and they’ve been really good about hiding it, but it’s still icky to me for a few reasons:

1. She got separated a couple of months ago.
2. Everyone behind the bar just kind of pieced it together over time and I had to force his hand when I caught Windy et al. gossiping about it across both sides of the bar.
3. I’m sure I’ve vented to his bartender GF more than a few times about scheduling, policy etc.

I think I just wish that he’d been frank with me as it happened, since we have a pretty close work relationship.

Anyway, yeah. They make a cute couple though.

fuckin' Wendy

I wouldn’t vent to her anymore.

wait - wendy aside - the general manager is dating one of his employees?

isn't that destined to end in:

a) tragedy
b) lawsuit
c) love triangle parking lot shooting
d) #metoo moment
e) all of the above


this is why we all need polling rights

Love triangle parking lot shooting.

*envisioning a flesh-wound or misfire, not an actual mortality

There was a birthday party Friday after work for a guy in a similar situation. I felt really hinky about it so I didn't go. Caught some flak for it too from my boss too. One of those, "Oh you aren't going? everyone else is." things and I'm like this isn't fucking high school, Christ.
Man, there's a tweet that I'd post here but I'm not searching for that right now.

Search for "I showed you my beef Wendy" and that should do it.

"David Devine, he so fine" - Freudian-slip style, by a middle-aged, married, salesman that I had long previously suspected to be in the closet.

My coworker is super nosy. She always wants to know what I'm eating for lunch so she can comment about it, and wants to see what I'm doing if she doesn't hear me doing anything for a while. She has to walk by my office to get to the kitchen or the copy room, so she always uses that as an excuse. Today I brought a sandwich back from my lunch break. When I unwrapped it, she heard it, and like clockwork, she got up to walk by my office. Before she did, I set my sandwich in my desk drawer. I saw her looking as she walked by, she did something in the kitchen, then walked back by again looking in my office. Once I heard her sit down, I got my sandwich out and started eating. She heard the crinkle of the sandwich wrapper and immediately got up again, so again I hid my sandwich. Once she got back to her desk I heard her ask "what are you doing for lunch today, Chris?". To which I responded, "I just got something quick while I was out. I know it is driving her nuts right now.

This also made me LOL

report her to HR ruddo

I enjoyed this. Jim Halpertesque.

HR nightmares.

this is great !

tomorrow let her "catch" you shoving your lunch back in the drawer and with your mouth full, suddenly stop chewing when she passes by. Don't look up from your work

then b*ng her

I'm in another city this week. A woman here whenever she says something remotely funny (to her), she half says/half laughs "eeeehhh". Strange noise, never heard it before. At least four times every lunch break.
