I want to quit so badly. (NOW THE FAVORITE CANDY THREAD)

[GilloD]

So I come into work today. We've all been working like 11+ hour days, I've been spending more than a third of my weekends on some variety of work shit, I've been sleeping like shit, I'm trying to do the work of 3 people. I'm being told to schedule events at the same time I'm supposed to be doing a web redesign and e-commerce/erp integration at the same time I'm supposed to be like the internet pr guy. I would find this vaguely acceptable if I got paid anywhere near a fair wage, but at the moment I make less than 20,000 a year.

So I come in this morning and I have an e-mail from my boss. The subject is "Thank you" and I think, "Well, it's not a raise, but it's nice to be noticed".

Here is the text of that e-mail:

"I would like to thank the three of you for the half hour I spent untangling the drawstrings for the blinds today so Indro could close them.  It was a truly spectacular use of my time."

FUCK YOU. F U C K Y O U. Are you fucking kidding me? You have to be fucking kidding me. I am so glad I'm moving to Korea and getting the fuck out of here.

Last week we had this stupid event whenere I unloaded BY HAND two fucking god damn palattes of product- Close to 100 cases- carted them up 10 floors and gave them away because they didn't wanna pay anyone to help me. My reward: "WHY DID YOU FORGET THE COUPONS". Fucking bullshit fuck you.

[Eric P]

you should murder your boss and piss on the peanut butter

[Diunx]

Burn the place down.

[Bacchus7]

Man, this is the most miserable shit I've seen on EB in a hot minute, and that's saying something, given the well-documented woes of TVC, recursivelyenumerable, etc.

Haha. I sent a really kind of eman e-mail back to the lady I work with who was like "Whyd di you forget the coupons". It was like, "Because I was doing your job and my job. We don't all get 6 weeks of vacation and, frankly, if I don't do my job right, none of us will have jobs". I was nicer than that But barely.

[GilloD]

GilloD you are a nice guy.

But I have come to see that you let yourself get fucked in the anus on a regular basis.

This is what happens then.

I just have a lot of cards on the fucking table. My wife is finishing her thesis and tutoring part time, so I'm trying to just put up with this shit so that she can finish. I dunno. I know I'm in a good position- I got quotes for the kidn of integration work he's asking for and it starts at around DOUBLE my salary. If I walked he'd be FUCKED. But I don't wanna fuck up my life and my wife's life just to prove a point.

[Barry Egan]

start perfecting the core-destroying letter that you will give to this man when you leave for Korea.

Start looking for a new job secretly.

[FlameOfCallandor]

Yeah I wouldnt put up with that shit for that pay.

Write him an angry email.

[GilloD]

start perfecting the core-destroying letter that you will give to this man when you leave for Korea. 

It begins with the backwards reciting of the names of each of the 100 elder gods of Shoggoth and the names of their 400 off spring

[The Fake Shemp]

Do it for the lulz

[muckhole]

If I were you, I'd get back at the fucker by stealing a bunch of product, say maybe Cinnamon Raisin Swirl. Then I'd baffle the cockswipe by stashing it all somewhere he'd never find it.

Like somewhere in Canada. Hmm.

Really though, if you were able to get a short tern job or project (which I realize isn't easy to do these days), I'd say run to the hills, but would you leave? Or would you start to feel guilty about dropping your responsibilities with that company and wind up staying anyways?

[lordmaji]

It's too bad that I found out my boss somehow is able to read what I post.  He found a post I made on Mupepe.com back in the day...
So, my work horror stories cannot really be discussed. 

But even my shitty days aren't as shitty as the one you just described.  I'm sorry man

watch your p's and q's FA. The man is always watching...

[GilloD]

Where the hell do you work?

A small food/bev company whose name I've already revealed too many times already, haha.

Hey, at least you're evidence that the man doesn't always have to keep us down

This place is gonna be the death of me.

Nah, I'm trying to come back so I can die w/ you. But I doubt the man will let me die w/ my family/friends.

I'm just evidence that we are in a niche market for what we can do.

I don't want to talk about work anymore. 

What's your favorite candy?

[Barry Egan]

my favorite candy is probably Hershey's Kisses

they're delicious

[Eric P]

heath bars and skor are godly

but i would love to have them w/o the additives and HFCS

[Diunx]

I'll probably buy a Milky Way today at college, will post it on the buy thread.

[tehjaybo]

I've always been a Reeses fan myself.  Though I do go through Swedish Fish phases.   

Now I'm hungry.

[cool breeze]

I was watching a foot network program on making candy bars last night.  I would jizz myself if I ever stepped into that twix factory.

Milky Way Midnight is also the most underrated candy bar

[Tauntaun]

I had an awesome Gyro last night for dinner but got some nasty heart burn that woke me up in the early AM.     Also, FatalT has a sexy voice.  I played some DoD:S and DoWII with him last night.  We pwned it up in both games. 

FatalT

[Robo]

I mostly like fruity, sugary stuff.  I will eat Mike & Ikes until I barf.

[Human Snorenado]

Hmm... probably Twix.  Twix is the shit.

As for work woes, this kind of shit is why I gave up on trying to work with people... if you're going to be putting employees in a shit situation, you should acknowledge it up front and be as nice as possible to them about it.  Of course when I tried to do that to my employees, upper management would give ME shit.  Sigh.

[T234]

My favorite candy maker in the world is based in my hometown. GilloD can attest to it's quality (Ruth Hunt).

[G The Resurrected]

GilloD do you think you can send me some hot peanut butter? my local store only carries the white chocolate at 9 bucks for the jar. I wanna try hot peanut butter with nacho cheese doritos mmmmm.

As for favorite candy hmmm....



they are awesome and like 90 calories

[tiesto]

For candy, I don't eat much but I like:

Red Hots
Hot Tamales
Necco wafers ( clove flavor )
Mambas
Heath Bars

If they're what I think they are, Necco wafers always leave a chalky taste in my mouth..

i've never gotten the appeal of those

they're like the eucharist you'd give to bad children or something

Hey G, who makes those chocolate protein bars and can I order them online?

I'd like to try some.

[G The Resurrected]

ask and thou shall receive, sign up for an account and wait till they send you a 30% off coupon.
http://www.healthsmartfoods.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=20

I suggest the turtle, cookies n cream, triple chocolate fudge, and my favorite the smores. They are sugar free, but they are very good and full of fiber and protein.

Well, I figured with them being sugar free and high in protein it would be a good breakfast on days I cant get a real one. Thanks

[G The Resurrected]

not a problem good sir.

yeah they are really good for breakfast on the go. I eat them as a snack though or desert.

They work really well for that too

Here is hoping that they send me a 30% coupon pretty quick.

This is because you were too busy asking dumb CSS questions. You deserved it.
