The army is really frustrating at the best of times...they moved my husbands homecoming back. BLAHH. D:

Aw, that sucks D:

When is he coming back?

Canada Posts' website says that our visa package is at the post office after being out for delivery. Hubby got home to no notice of anything to pick up. :\

[Sprailenes 47]

It will probably come today, if not he can just call the post office and ask. No worries.

I hate the post office in Cinnaminson. About a year back our local post office stopped taking bulk mail so we had to start going to Cinnaminson to do it.

Our office does all of our own marketing and mailing, so we have to deal with them on a weekly basis. But this one woman there is NEVER happy with how we do anything. Every week she has something new to complain about, but the previous week she didn't pick on us about it at all, it's always something new.

When we used to drop off the mail, she'd yell at us and tells us how stupid we are. None of us drop the mail off anymore, we get the maintenance manager to do it. Then she tells him how stupid we are, and how she banned us from the post office - not true we just got tired of dealing with her.

It's like she just picks on us for sh1ts and giggles because the things she expects of us are petty. Then she refers to us as "Your types" huh? What types?? What the hell does she even mean?

Yes we have complained, no nothing ever comes of it.

Yesterday she told our maintenance manager we never returned her calls or emails... we have never recieved a call or an email. This woman is seriously insane.

I've come to the conclusion that she is pretty much in love with the office staff and just really wants to see us again. I'm going to have to call her up and tell apologize and let her know that she isn't my type at all, but I hope that this doesn't ruin our fabulous working relationship.

This is my last work-related vent for (hopefully) at least 2 weeks. I'll be out of town next week for a conference for youth center advocates, volunteers, directors, teachers, etc. It'll be nice to be around people who are supportive of our goals for a change!

Last night, about 15 minutes after we opened, the police chief wrangled about 8 tweens-to-teens into my building. These are kids who come to our building, but hadn't been in our building yet that day, and who weren't on the way to our building (they were going to a kid's house). The police chief screamed at the kids in front of about 35 of their peers, telling them that if they wanted to smoke, that they should smoke in the youth center (which is illegal, nevermind being against our rules) or on our property (which would cause them to get kicked out, since it's against our rules to have tobacco on our property). He never lowered his voice below bellowing the whole time, and when I asked what had happened, he turned and screamed at me that these kids are "YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! YOURS! LET THEM SMOKE WHEREVER THEY WANT IN HERE, JUST KEEP THEM INSIDE. THEY'RE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!". Again, these students weren't in my building, and weren't heading for my building.

The cop wouldn't give me an answer as to exactly what happened, but from talking to the students it was clear that he caught them and instead of calling their parents, taking their smokes, citing them, etc. he just brought them to the youth center for me to deal with. What the heck?!

*facepalm*

Once again, I think the previous post of 'I hate morons' can be used here

Sucks when people that are doing such great things like running a youth center would get such ####### from someone who's supposed to be a role model, sorry to hear that!

[darkchilde794 5]

Holy moly Scoot, #######??? What kind of cop would do that??? Is there a way you can report him? Though it seems like nothings gonna happen. Jeeze! I am so sorry girl *HUGS*

[Kimbear 53]

Wow...what an a$$. maybe he didnt take his pills for the day...lol Did you at least get his name or soemthing? i'd report the jerk.

[Bern. 3]

Aw, that sucks D:

When is he coming back?

I'm actually not allowed to say, ''they're watching.''

Now I'm even more worried about getting the updated financials. Crapcrapcrap. LOL

I hope Wyatt has some good news for me.

I want to speak with all the people who put tape all over everything.

From our new appliances to the idiots who put taped signs on the back and front windows. When you put packing tape on a window that gets a lot of sun and leave it there over several months, then it is somewhat DIFFICULT to get the tape off.

Then again, you are the same idiots that put 'do not use, water is off" signs on the outside and INSIDE of the toilets, then proceeded to turn the water on, without taking out the papers.

I know what you mean, TM. Try Goo Gone, my hubby allowed the kids to tape stuff up all over the apartment and then left it there for 2 years. It was up to me to get it off. GG was a godsend.

I've always just used a razor blade to get it off, works wonders for me.

[trailmix 77]

Yeah i'm using a scraper now, I tried goof off (which worked in the fridge) as I have tried goo be gone before and it didn't work very well for me.

Normally peanut butter works like a charm, but this back window faces almost west - and i am having to scrape it off little bit by little bit...bah you tape users!!

Oh and an added note - once you get the actual top part of the tape off and just the gummy stuff is left - foaming window cleaner works like a charm.
