Friday, March 26, 2010 by loukeeya | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
when my fellow nurses announced they were to have a baby a frenzy broke out, ppl rushing around asking for donations. well, as someone who has no kids doesnt want any i found this a bit of a pain. my response was simple - when i got my 2 kittens last year i asked for a donation upon the arrival of my 2 babies lol
did i get any money? well.......

The back stabbing and hostile personalities. Toxic place I was at for 17 years but I do miss the income!

One thing I would miss about work is all the sexual harrassment. It's unbearable at times.

Kittens aren't Babies. They are animals. The greatest thing a human being can do is be a parent. This also carries with a great amount of responsibility but make no mistake that there is no comparison between being a pet owner and a parent. It's your choice not to have children but please don't insult people who choose to be parents by comparing parenthood with owning a pet.

This is one reason, I am sure, that I got laid off. I refused to be pushed around and would not take any crap from anyone. My senior manager was a wuss and a pushover who always made excuses for peoples stupidy. I have a real problem with folks who have no common sense whatsoever and he interpreted telling some one that, was saying they were stupid. I know some highly intellegent people who have no common sense!

Exactly. In all the years I've worked it's never happened to me once...

Not all of them were like that, but that's one reason I refused to be a part of the Xmas social. Besides, I always liked to keep my work life and associates separate from my social/home/personal life. The only time I ever became involved with a work associate was when I defended a blind guy against a group of apprentices... and almost got fired because one happened to be the boss's son.
Now there's another thing I don't miss!!! It's one thing I did try offering around, but none of the ladies ever wanted any.
And in those days I was such an Adonis, too.

chasbo i really think you should take a chill pill - to me my cats are my babies and yes its a choice if ppl have kids or not, i chose not too. where in my post do i insult ppl for having kids? i did say i found it a bit of a pain ppl expecting me to give money coz they chose to have a baby. if you knew me at all you would know that i am the most tolerant and open minded person around, supportive of others and yes i do love my animals. so before you get on yr high hobby horse take a step back and read my post in context

The one thing I don't miss about work was being pushed into contributing to a Christmas party I was never going to attend. Yeah, every year they'd come around with an authority slip for the paymaster to deduct $2.00 a week... and every year I'd say: "Get stuffed, I'm not paying 48 bucks a year for some crap party I'm not gonna be at!!!!" I had a wife and kid at home who'd rather I was at home with them (instead of being out on the town getting plastered) and saving the money for something more important.
The other thing I would say, when the social club people didn't take no for an answer the first, second and third time: "Look, I have to spend 8 - 12 hours a day with you bastards over 48 weeks of the year (take off 4 weeks annual leave)... the last fucken thing I want to do is fucken drink with ya's."
