Thread: Work Rants!

"Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking...just-a-moment"

I've noticed a trend in my work:

1. When I lose a case it is because I'm a terrible attorney. Sure my client was captured on camera, confessed (multiple times), and somehow had 2oz of pot in his pants (they likely borrowed the pants). Sure they smoked a joint the morning of their trial (you've got to be calm after all) for possession. In the end though it really is the fact that I'm a terrible attorney that caused them to be found guilty, nothing more.

2. When I win a case it is in spite of the fact I'm a terrible attorney. Sure all the above facts still apply. Sure I just moved a legal mountain so to speak and gave a impassioned plea to the jury that would have made Atticus Finch himself well up with tears. Nope, fact is that they were innocent all along and all I did was "steal" their money.

Also having a full time cube hell job, I too despise people.

Maybe she likes you?

I like how people wait in line for 10 minutes and then have no idea what they want and aren't prepared to do business. And hey, have some respect for yourself and everyone behind you and get off your phone!

Not so much at work but at my volunteer gig I do at a local museum, last Sunday I opened up and and it got busy right away. Long story short, within 10 minutes somebody stole my camera.....pissed me off ...sob, cute lil blond girl did it.

You had me at broad.

One of our receptionists is easily the worst/most unprofessional receptionist at any office I have been in in my entire life. It's not just one thing she does wrong, it's EVERYTHING.

e.g. what ever happened to saying "you're welcome"? Every time someone thanks her, her response is always "no problem." No problem?? Why would it ever be a "problem" for you to do your job? Her all-call office announcements are always unprofessional (bumbling thru the text/info) as well. She cannot utilize outlook to its full capabilities, even though she has been shown several times how to use certain features.

Rant done. That's a little therapedic - thanks
