pepper: Pepperpot (Tired and headachy)
To my dearest colleagues,
 
Wow, you're not too bright, are you? When a water cooler doesn't have a big bottle o' water on top, and instead has a collection of empties bottles all around it, that means there's no water. No amount of putting a plastic cup under the tap, pressing the tap, or standing there and frowning at it is going to make the water appear. It's not magic water. There isn't a well underneath the cooler. Go and ask the facilities dude to bring some more bottles up (you should recognise him – he's the guy who pushes a trolley full of big water bottles past you every damn day). 
 
Sheesh.
 
Also, learn the code to the door already. And stop putting boxes under the photocopier trays, or you'll break the damn thing. There's a big notice telling you not to do that, can you not see it? It's only 72pt, I realise that, but perhaps you could pay a little more attention to the world around you.
 
Yours not in charity with the human race this morning,
 
Pepper.

Heh
Grumpy posts bitching about people warm my cockles.

I was just feeling grumpy earlier because every night when I come in to work at job #1, we close the office door and do a 30 minute (or less) turnover. Basically it's just so I can find out what's been going on from the previous staff member. We're a 24 hour facility, and all we ask from the residents of the shelter is that we not be disturbed during turnover unless there's an emergency. This happens three times a day, for 30 minutes each. Each time we do it, we put out a big honking sign, hanging right in front of the office, with a bright yellow rope saying that there's a turnover in progress, and to please not interrupt unless there's an emergency. Of course, people do it all the time anyway. Tonight someone tried it because she wanted Ibuprofren, and got snotty when I wouldn't open the door until 12:30 a.m.

Wah.

Re: Heh
Oh, people are so blind to everything but their own concerns, aren't they? And impatient. Impatience really, really irritates me. It's so unnecessary. Really, what is the problem with waiting a few minutes? Grr.

Okay, not all people. Some are kind and considerate and patient and thoughtful of others.

I'm feeling grumpy now, too. There may be more cranky lj posts to warm your cockles. *g*

"Some are kind and considerate and patient and thoughtful of others."

Yeah...those people are the ones who get trodden upon and abused for their less annoying natures. Alas.
