The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Up-n-running. Coffee is done. Been up for 3.5 hours, really. Dogs have et, cats have et, barn critters done yet, too. Ice is bus' up, steps are salted (Wat got the really good kind of salt), the landlady has gone to work, and Wat may start up and head into town for grub-n-visitin'.


One of these days, Wat will come here and not go back there.
Soon...
 
I just had the most frustrating meeting.

I have made a decision. I will be doing nothing. I will not tell my opinion. Everything will be fine. I will not be offering to write documents or proof them. I will not take lead on anything.... fuck these people.

I believe the term is quiet quitting.

My last words were. " should have the cancer education done for you all to change... have a nice day" we have to make sure that all the cartoon characters are in the right place on the power point.

Did I say fuck these people?

The last time we were all together we talked about having a best friend at work...fucking really.... now we need to leverage relationships to figure out their billing process. I am not a biller and am barely a coder..then what.... thanks for telling me and good luck... but the rest of these fucktards are sitting there like bobbleheads agreeing.

Fuck fuck fucking fuck

EDIT: the same person who told leadership that me going to the acdis conference was a waste of money is not only going but attending the long session which is 2x as much money.... and they had the nerve to ask my opinion. My response was look at the agenda and make your determination from that....what I wanted to say was ....so you going makes it a good financial.decision when a year ago me going was not....hmmmm...then she talked about never being to Disney and how excited she was..... she wasn't interested when conference was in Indianapolis....fuck
How much do you want to bet she skips out on the conference for touristy stuff? I si hated when "leadership" types would send themselves to conferences and do that. When I went, it was WORK!

You're right! Fuck those people! And not in the nice, exciting way! 😤🤨😖
 
Good morning cafe dwellers. It’s brrr - 5 F this morning. Windchill in the -20.

I am taxiing grandchildren this morning to day care unless notification of closing comes in.

Be safe if in the cold and stay home if you got the snow in southern USA. My daughter in NOLA got 8 inches!
And we haven't gotten any in the lowlands of the PNW! Plenty in the mountains, tho!
 
When I was growing up, it was relatively rare to hear women swearing. But they were still, to a large extent, expected to be seen and not heard. As equality has become more established, every woman I know, with the exception of my mother, swears regularly. Some as much as I do!
Progress?
Abso-fuckin-lutely! 🤣🤣🤣
 
So when I was in HS I almost flunked English (how could I almost flunk my mother tongue?). However I’m quite fluent in redneck and I hold an advanced degree in profanity. If you’ve ever driven anywhere with me you’ll quickly learn how fluent I am.
For some reason, when I drive profanity flows from my mouth like a river! 🤣🤣🤣
 
People not doing their jobs… or being pussies. Venting session.

I’m hosting a virtual panel on Friday for 1000+ salespeople with five experts. We also had the marketing project manager who will go over marketing materials. She was supposed to also moderate the panel and the questions. After several days of deliberation, yesterday, she said she didn’t think she was the right person to moderate the panel and that me or my boss would be the more appropriate person!

I (and my boss) happened to have all day meetings yesterday and also worked till 9pm
Working on documentation and slides. I was also in meetings all day until lunchtime today.

In the meantime, she is IMing me today like every 10 fucking minutes. “ have you sent the questions to the panelists”

I just called her on teams and read her the fucking riot act. Just because she says she’s a fucking marketing project manager, she’s got a break out of her comfort zone. OR she has to give us more fucking notice if she’s gonna drop the ball.

“Your lack of confidence is not my emergency.”

I don’t have any time or patience for pussies. I don’t mind developing people and helping them grow, but not when they’re gonna take the cowards way out.

Venting is done. Now back to your regular programming.
Quite right! It's just not OK to drop out of an obligation at the last minute then try to micromanage others to whom you've offloaded your responsibility. 🤨😖😤
 
I think it could be done on the sly.

Even if not fully legal, it’d be hard to prove. Since it’s a farm we are technically allowed to have accommodations for farm workers.”

I’m sure we could charge the “farm workers” rent.
And what would be the duties of the "farm workers?" Asking for a friend, of course! 😅😅
