  Easy pour crap.....now there's a .com!
   
  Too bad they didn't make brain cleanse, like they make colon cleanse!

  I think I need a new set of wooden shakers.  Coated with Teflon.

  pickersplock:  I learned the brain clense thing a couple of years ago....it's not on the market.  You have to make it yourself in the privacy of your own home, and not tell anyone.   Ha....Shake, Shake, Shake..... Shake, Shake, Shake,  shake your booty...

• wombat said on Jul 01, 2008....

  MissMimi:  As long as they are not made of glass that doesn't filter out the crap well.....wooden ones with tough Teflon will work.
   
  The glass ones clog and might break if dropped.

  Lets get really chemical and go for teflon coated salt. 

• secretlife said on Jul 01, 2008....

  wombat, you sure do have some really COOL insights!

  botoni:  Sounds like a good "road ingredient" to me, you road builder.....then I could drive in winter.....
   
  secretlife:   Thanks,  I took that one off the cuff.....just thinking about my day.  As always.

  Have you ever used the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?  I like to keep a mental version of the magic eraser on hand for moments like these - I loved the salt shaker analogy, Wombie - thanks :)

  There's always negative person in every crowd or work place.  The trick is not to let it get to you.

  wishyouwerehere:  No, I haven't, but I know what you are talking about...and I like that idea, too!  Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean...takes away all the mean.....ha!
   
  Fallyn:  Hi!  Thanks and I am wondering how you are.....
   
  RollingC:   Yes--I have a couple of bad eggs near my nest at work....I make sure they do not see me upset by anything that goes on!

  People like the one you described can truly test an employer's resolve not to allow personalities to dictate personnel decisions.

  Trust me, employers dislike the office snitch and or gossip as much as do the staff.

  love the analogy anology..?? anulology..uh...  you know what I mean :-) I can't think of the word, but I loved it!!  :-) xx

• queenparanoia said on Jul 02, 2008....

  this is a nice insight... just let it go of the shit and move on... =)

• travelr712 said on Jul 02, 2008....

  you ever notice how younger people seem to want to get 'in your face' in situations like this, but older people try to find ways of 'letting it slide', like you did?
   
  i attribute it to the fact that older people value peace and quiet over proving you're right... :-)

• starchini said on Jul 02, 2008....

  aw ur so cute!

• wombat said on Jul 02, 2008....

  soaringraven:  We had a meeting about this subject recently, although I don't work in an office.  Someone got wind of a vulgar comment against someone who had been promoted--and we all had to sit through a speech of "And I'm not going to have it!"
   
  destinydiva:  Thank you...my mind gets away from me and I write these kinds of posts.  I need to turn my creative energy into something more substantial, though!
   
  Queen:  Thanks....The older I get, the easier it is to do....I am too lazy and tired to put up with anybody else's crap....ha. 
   
  travelr712:  I see what you mean, although these ladies are older than me who like to make snide remarks and see if they can get me upset.  I figure if I let them know they can't get under my skin, maybe they will leave me alone.
   
  starchini:  Well, thank ya'!

• quietone said on Jul 02, 2008....

  I think I better go get a set of those shakers as well!  I may need one on my new shift too... and lots of gum to chew!  LOL  Cool post.  And good for you for ignoring those women!!!

• skald said on Jul 02, 2008....

  I sure want a shaker like this too. Love your post. Luv J 

• wombat said on Jul 02, 2008....

  quietone:  I had forgotten about that change for you.....hope it goes well!  If not, just shake it out!
   
  skald:  Thanks, skald.  I need a shaker for all my days.....and a red pepper one for the really bad ones...

• CreativeWoman said on Jul 02, 2008....

  I need some of those shakers too. :-)  Glad you felt good about it all in the end.

• wombat said on Jul 02, 2008....

  CW:  Thanks.  When I think about it, I realize how much crap I have put up with over the years, and all it takes is understanding that life is too short to worry about people who want to see you fail, cry, and worry.
   
  I almost asked one of the ladies if they understood that some people go home and think about checking out for good after comments like these.  They don't realize that their wanting to feel good about themselves (which is why they do it)  can cause some people to think the worst about their lives.
