So far this morning I managed to almost kill my laptop, crash two other computers while trying to burn some DVDs and haven't had breakfast. My housemate managed to drop a plate and a coffee mug with his breakfast .

(14,881 posts)I expect to be put on written warning. It's ok...I'm expecting it, except I can't stand the monthly 1-on-1's even when things are going well, never mind when they're out to get you. It's always nitpick you to death, made up stuff, pure politics etc. Insulting and creepy, all at once. You're either in the "in" group, in which case your mistakes are overlooked, or you're not. It's interesting to note that the entire "in" group is seriously, morbidly obese. Our boss is a noncompliant, type 2 diabetic -- I've seen her sitting at her desk with 3 different kinds of candy open, picking from each. They try to force-feed us candy and junk food constantly (they literally leave huge bowls of candy at my workstation), not accepting no for an answer until you want to scream. When I ask the woman sitting next to me a question (she's the "lead" rep), she has taken to literally rummaging through the candy while staring at me -- she doesn't take one. Just rummages through over and over, staring at me. Then turns away smirking and giggling. The "out" group says "no" to the candy and the ones that have been removed from this client and manager all are normal weight. Just sayin'...
I just wish they'd fire me and get it over with so I can collect until the hospital work picks up in April. But they won't because it's the busy time until tax season ends. Dog I hate 1-on-1s.
