I am totally over all the Valtrex commercials, actually, any prescription medication ad.

I’m over opposing counsel who huff and puff over nothing and give me crazy deadlines and make personal jabs about me in their lame attempts to confer.

I would never miss those people who hog the passing lane by going at the exact same speed as the car in the “slow” lane for miles and miles.

I’m totally over the girl in the apartment upstairs who walks around in heels 24/7. It wakes me up late at night and grates on my last nerve if I’m home in the day.

In defense of coconut, it doesn’t bother you if you don’t bother it. Unlike tapered pants and the weather. Full disclosure: I like coconut.

I can do without the Nasonex commercials with the bee voiced by Antonio Banderas (sp?). Also I’d like the wind to stop blowing like crazy and for the delay on flying cars to be expedited.

I second Will’s vote for the expediting of flying cars. And I also call for a moratorium on the phrase “next level.”

I am over MySpace, in general, and Pepto Bismol Commericals and weight loss commercials 24/7 since New Years. It’s not like everyone doesn’t have the resolution to lose a few - they will find your products. Sheesh.

And flamingos. Yeah, those too.

Ew, scabs.
Don’t.Want.To.Know.

Women who talk on the cell phone in the restroom at work.
One of my biggest pet peeves!

I am over working on the weekends. This crazy non-winter weather.

I’m over construction in my buildinng. I’m over the jackass that revs his stupid car in the garage all day and night (go somewhere already!!).

I do love coconut (the scent more than the taste).

I’m totally over the “Let it Snow” electronic sound-chip in the Christmas thing that hangs on the front door to my apartment building. It’s right outside the door to my apartment, and EVERY TIME someone opens the front door, I hear 30 seconds of electronic song. This has been going on since November. I try to be nice, because I don’t want to be the grinch (Jew that I am). So I put up with it every year from Thanksgiving to… well past New Year’s. ARRRRRRGH!

I am over traveling to work stuck up against smelly people on the tube, sunset at 4:30, and constant drizzle. Actually i think i’m just over London. Time to come back to California!

As of the New Year, Things we are done with from an employer perspective. [Because no one else will tell you these things seemingly!]:

1.) Paying some degree less dog eared neer-do well some 80K while he gets drunk and misses deadlines.

2.) Accepting bizarre, unlikely or useless excuses for going AWOL from same & sundry. Sorry, you’re no ‘Fortunate Son’ there sonny boy, if you act like a drunken fool and don’t do your job, we’ll fire your ass. Every time. Do not pass go, do not collect unemployment insurance. Having to pick up your only child ’cause he’s teething is not an excuse to take half a day off either. Not for a healthy 2 parent, happy grannies sort of family. If you show up after the start of business hours, (generously considered to be 9.30AM EST), yes you can EXPECT to stay late to get your work done.

3.) Not finishing an assignment because you budgeted your time poorly is no excuse for missing deadlines. Taking several half days for various ‘household’ needs/errands does not absolve you from actually doing your assignments. This was not acceptable for Miss Crabapple’s 3rd grade class, it’s Still unacceptable here & now in the ‘real world’.

4.) Not making your production numbers that were a bare minimum for your consideration at hiring is going to severely impact you continued service with the firm. This is especially true if you are suspected of moonlighting on another job or ‘venture’.

5.) Drinking a $100 lunch and expensing this in it’s entirety is unlikely to impress many, especially the principals of the firm.

6.) Looking like you just came in from a game of softball or an intramural football game is probably not acceptable for everyday wear at the office.

7.) We are not a lending library. This goes for most of our equipment. No, you can not use your work lap top to take to school with you. We can not trust that we’ll ever be seeing it again, or have it on hand when needed. This is not acceptable.

8.) Talking with your ‘peeps’/friends and/or family for hours at a time at work is not a good use of your or our limited time together. Ditto surfing for porn or excessive online shopping/gaming. This is best done on your own time.

9.) Simple & open communication is key for any effective enterprise. If you are unable to gather the materials necessary for an assignment, we need to know about these issues awhile before deadline, here days and perhaps weeks are clearly preferred over mere hours.

10.) Overall, this just a’int your momma’s house. It’s a place of work, industry and enterprise. It’s is not typically a place of repose, or some place to simply lay your hat before running out to shop, dine & dash with friends, or a place to coordinate your next block party etc.

Yep, fed up. Cheers & Good Luck! ‘VJ’

I am over drivers who drive under the speed limit on the interstate regardless of which lane they are in - if you are afraid of the interstate, find another route already!

I am over commercials using songs which will forever get stuck in my head and make me loathe your product and commercial enough for me to make the effort to change the channel or hit the mute button.

I am over 70 degree weather in January and not being able to wear my yummy wool sweaters because they make me sweat! The people I work with are so tired of my summer/fall wardrobe that they actually got excited when I wore a new cotton t-neck sweater after Christmas.

I am over What about Brian. The show should be called what about nothing. Things happen at a snails pace on that show and the mysterious Marjorie is back. Ughh

Ah, such a rich topic. I’d add: volunteers who say they’ll do things and don’t (which is MUCH worse than not volunteering in the first place), overkill promos for that boring TBS show _My Boys_, freaky global warming weather (near 70 in Boston last weekend!), usage of “effect” as a verb.

Oh, and I like coconut. I made some killer coconut lime bars over the weekend, and they were gobbled up.

I’m over my mom giving me a guilt trip when I arrive home for a visit just when I told her I’d be there but a little later than she would have preferred…SO over that.
