I can't focus. Which isn't new. But I am behind and I need to pull my head out of my ass and get work done. Is there such thing as adult onset ADD? </p> [attach=3950/14/nf7bao.600x444.futarama-fry-add.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947949 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:32:22 +0000 Corduroy 1947949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are rumors of layoffs. Four members of our senior leadership team were laid off last week so I think it's probably true. Work is super crazy right now besides that but the waiting and wondering is torture. I have a new hire that's been here a month and I think she might have a heart attack if I can't calm her down soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947908 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:16:27 +0000 macintosh 1947908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Ugh I hate the open office and cigarettes too, that would drive me crazy! </p> <p>My only gripe is that my boss called me last night to ask offer me a little promotion (yay!) but I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep with all the new responsibilities on my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947891 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:11:04 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1947891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day off work and I've spent 3hrs sitting in a Dr's office. Seriously what the frigging point in scheduling appointments when it's just a free for all. They should just say come in on Monday the time doesn't matter cause you won't be seen then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947756 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:33:00 +0000 Mama Bird 1947756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: ugh, cigarettes. Sorry you have to deal with that.</p> <p>@hotchildinthecity: that sounds way too familiar. My office runs like that too. Try not to stress too much if you can!!!</p> <p>@blackbird: hahaha the cuteness!</p> <p>I spent all Saturday cooking and cleaning for Sunday guests. One of them cancelled at 8 pm. The other one didn't, but came and stayed for five hours. Not sure which is worse :bummed: So. Tired. I'm really tempted to roll under my desk and sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947751 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:30:13 +0000 ElbieKay 1947751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's raining, so I decided to work from home today! Yay! I get to nurse instead of pump, and I get to snuggle with my cats during conference calls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947699 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:05:07 +0000 IRunForFun 1947699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Oh EW!!! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947690 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 14:02:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1947690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't stand cigarette smell either, I would be super annoyed! </p> <p>I am just so over work in general... I wish I got paid during maternity leave so I can just take off the week before my due date or something. Instead I'm trying to make it till the end but I am so uncomfortable and barely productive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947671 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:56:15 +0000 Anagram 1947671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a kid in the library about 8 feet away from me, continuously sucking snot back into his nose and sometimes picking his nose and eating it. I've already offered tissues. He said he didn't need any. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947606 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:25:49 +0000 IRunForFun 1947606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: LOL.

That would annoy me. Even if you have to do it at work, go to the bathroom or something. I once saw someone clip their freaking toenails on the Subway. Just NO. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947597 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:22:35 +0000 Adira 1947597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: haha, you beat me to it!

I hate when I get a hang nail and can't deal with it immediately! I'd never just clip all my nails at my desk - but one pesky hang nail - yes, I'll deal with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947593 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:21:44 +0000 IRunForFun 1947593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: I guess that makes sense. But clipping a random hangnail is better than doing the whole set at work! Sorry you are sick, hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947588 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:19:30 +0000 Applesandbananas 1947588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My vent is that I'm home sick, legitimately awful sick and thus using a PTO day that I was going to use for the day after Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947584 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:17:47 +0000 Applesandbananas 1947584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I'm so guilty of having fingernail clippers with me all the time. I get annoying hangnails that drive me nuts. But I like to think I'm stealth about it. One quick clip and back to my purse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947581 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:17:08 +0000 MediaNaranja 1947581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work vent is that I have to finish a really annoying project, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947567 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:12:12 +0000 autumnlove 1947567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Phone interviews with people with lots of background noise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947566 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:10:46 +0000 IRunForFun 1947566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I have never understood that! Like, do people just happen to suddenly remember, at work, that they need to clip their nails? And who just keeps nail clippers at work or carries them around all the time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947561 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:09:15 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1947561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last day before adoption leave is thursday. Not only is my work not transitioned but I am being given new work. I could absolutely scream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947560 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:08:20 +0000 Lindsay05 1947560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck! That would definitely bother me as well. </p> <p>I am working from home today (the one day a week that I actually get a chance to work on with my small business) and I am getting nothing accomplished. My mind is just to full of stuff and I am not being productive at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947559 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:08:06 +0000 Smurfette 1947559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The guy that sits across from me clips his finger nails all the time. And always does it while I am eating my lunch. Do that shit at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947553 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:04:58 +0000 MrsSCB 1947553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, I would hate that! I'm also super sensitive to smells and really can't handle cigarette smoke. That sucks. My coworkers at my last job all smoked and it was gross sometimes :-/</p> <p>My gripe isn't really that big of a deal, but my family is coming to visit for the first time since we moved far away over a year ago and they're getting here this weekend. So today already feels soooooo slow because I'm really excited for Friday to get here (more than usual haha) and I'm sure this week is just going to drag. Especially since it's usually the slowest week of the month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-monday-work-vent#post-1947546 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 13:00:40 +0000 IRunForFun 1947546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Selfishly wanting to vent right now, so I figured I'd start a thread for others to join in!</p> <p>I work in an open-concept office, so basically it's just a room with desks against each wall. And it's small, because it's a renovated old Victorian house. One of my coworkers (whom I already strongly dislike for various reasons) has taken up smoking cigarettes, and the entire room REEKS of cigarette smoke. I am super sensitive to smells and it's making me feel sick - headache, etc. But, since he goes for walks and smokes away from the building, it is not like I (or anyone else) can tell him not to smoke just because the smell bugs me! Also, it's 35 degrees right now, so opening up a window for fresh air is not an option. </p> <p>I guess I'll just have to breathe in the scent of cigarette smoke for another 4+ hours. Yuck. :sad: </p>
