The company I work for is in a residential area near the centre of town.Its a house,well,two houses actually - semi detached.Some altertaions have been made to make it look like it is one house - but it has one kitchen.
Now there are 8 of us who work here.Small company with big projects and we are a satellitle branch of the holding company - that is in Johannesburg.
So,we all share the same kitchen.
Something simple ,like making a cup of coffee,can become somewhat of a military exercise in this place.First of all,you have to find a way of filling the kettle with water,after you wade your way through a huge pile of dirty unwashed dishes,that contain everything from sandwich crumbs to breakfast cereal left overs.
Then you have to hunt for a tea spoon - for the coffee,again.Putting the rubbergloves on,you gently ease past ALL the dirty dishes and bowls and find the bottom of the kitchen sink is layered in dirty,unwashed,sucked on teaspoons.
Tell me ladies and gentlemen. - HOW FUCKING DIFFICULT IS IT  to wash and rinse a TEASPOON after you have used it.?
You dont do that kind of thing in your own house -so why the fuck do you come and do it at the office.AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah - thats why.Cos you think that some other lazy fuck is going to clean up after you,just cos they want a cup of damn coffee.
 
I know, I might be sounding a bit childish about this,but it seems like same shit different day - and its really starting to get on my nerves.......just a little.
 
I know that i havent been commenting much - my apologies - but I have been doing a lot of reading,and i mean a LOT of reading.So Thursday night this week,is comments night - where i will catch up on the week that was.
Fallyn's wonderful photo post gave me a wonderful idea.I had taken some pics of sunrise and sunset in SA during this past winter,that I have been meaning to post for a while.Looks like now I have an excuse.
I have also noticed that my beloved friend Pusscat's last post has still been getting comments thick and fast - and i have it on good authority from the author that i have been involved again.....we shall see how far i can shake that tree....

    Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. . . .a man definitely after my own heart CJ!

    This is the one rant that I can be heard day in and day out shouting about at work.  I mean, if you're gonna use the milk, PUT IT BACK IN THE GOD DAMN FRIDGE when you're finished.  Don't leave your TEABAG IN THE SINK when the bin is actually right there UNDER THE SINK!!  Don't put the teaspoon you have just used down on the nice clean worktop to get STUCK THERE when the DISHWASHER is right there under the work surface where we make our drinks!!  There are plenty of clean cloths put out every day - USE THEM TO WIPE UP YOUR GOD DAMN MESS!

    You actually have to pass the dishwasher to get to the sink and yet people still put their dirty cups and plates in the sink!!  Who do they think will move them?!  2 weeks ago , I went to make a cuppa for the 4 of us ladies.  As I stood at the worktop to put thte kettle on I could feel something dripping on my feet.  I looked down to see that someone had spilt tea all over the work surface and it was running over the edge, down the cupbaord door that has our cups in, and onto the floor and my feet!  They had also spilt milk all over the top of the dishwasher and that was dribbling its way down to the floor too!!

    BTW - I also work with professionals - Social Workers and Nurses and Managers who just should know bloody well better!  There is a lovely sign that I made will smiley faces and funny little cups and sppons with faces asking people nicely to help me keep our kitchen tidy and the Duty Worker who is in charge of 'lock up' at the end of the day has to tidy up.  They are actually making all that work for one of their own!  Can you fathom it!

    I have worked in factories where the people (including me ha ha) have been a little 'rough and ready' shall we say, yet we always cleared away after ourselves.  Remarkable!!

    WOW - got that off my chest ha ha ha!

    HAVE A NICE DAY :-))

    I have made a sign up in our little kitchen, you see male bus drivers are a bread amongst themselves.
     
    It simply states
     
    "Your wives may clean up after you but I AM NOT your wife"
     
    Seems to have worked.

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - sounds like you rule the roost there my dear - dont you wanna come on over here and kick some of this south africa black ass for me,please?! By the way,congrats on your new appointment.I guess now that means you give all your old pain in the ass work mates,the big brown eye and middle finger ......
    I am sure that your current bosses are not going to be amused.
    I am in the same boat.Two out of the 8 people who work here have resigned.Which means that within the month all their unfinished shit is gonna end up on my plate on my desk,and I will have to put my plate of unfinished shit on the floor andf deal with theirs first.oooooooooooh and then there is a matter of a 'small' operation that i need to have in Jan.So i wont be here for about 3 weeks.So i have no idea what the kiss face ass licking mother trucker is gonna do then.But frankly,my dear,I couldnt really give a continental rat(have you seen how big those buggers get?)'s ass.

    wWhy don't you just stick your arm out in front of your face, bend your elbow palm towards you, clench your fist, slowly ever so slowly raise your middle finger!

     

    Then fart as you walk out the door! find a new job babe, that sucks!

In Spite Of Difficulties

It is harder to share pain than it is joy. Sometime with the help of friends and family, we endure our pains. But sometimes we have to stand alone. But if you maintain a postive outlook and endure cheerfully, we will find more company along the way.... read entire post 7 comments
