Let's bitch about our stupid, annoying co-workers

Boss:"Ronan could you comb your hair next time you come to work"

Me:"eh in fairness the contract doesn't say anything about me having to comb my hair"

Boss:"yeah but I mean you're a student now yeah? this job isn't so bad. they look after you well, it's a good wage, I'm happy with my lot"

Me:"I don't think there's any chance of me ever working here for a living, long term"

Boss:"Yeah and they pay your health insurance, it's not too difficult a job either"

Me:"Yeah no I'm never going to want to work here, to be honest I was planning on quitting as soon as I start college, or maybe even sooner, you needn't tell the main boss that"

Boss:"Oh don't worry, whatever is discussed here stays here. *long David Brent style lecture* I know what it's like to work WITH people and AROUND people, and I know that this station is not being run as effectively as possible, it's a clique, and I'm sure you can see that too Ronan. But quitting isn't going to change that. You quitting will not make this a smoother operation.

Me:"Eh I don't care about this job, I'm not sure what your point is"

Boss:"All I'm saying is, think about what I've said to you yeah? Just think about it"

Me:"............ok"

CEBCWTJCW: Morning Rachel!!! Oooh! What have you done to your NOSE??

Me: What? Oh yeah, it's a spot.

CEBCWTJCW: No! You've cut yourself or something! It's really RED.

Me: No, really, it's just a big, shiny, noticeable spot.

CEBCWTJCW: It looks really BAD!

At this point I gave up all hope of having a good day.

Woman At Next Desk: Oh, you used to live in London? So did I. I moved back after my daughter started school and, to be honest, I'm really glad I did. The education you get in London is terrible.

Madchen: I've heard inner city schools are, er, challenging.

WAND: Oh yes. I mean, she was one of only three white faces in the class.

Madchen: Oh. (Mutters something under her breath about 1 in 4 Scots).

Office twats who preface statements with 'I'm not being funny' should recognise that everything following the phrase comes with its own virtual kill file.

My other suggestion would be to canvass other coworkers for a pizza delivery one Friday and exclude her blatantly.

I work in a room with two people. Person 1 said to me all the stuff I wrote above. She thought nothing of saying it to a stranger (the assumption, I guess, being that I would think the same). Person 2 laughed along merrily. Also, I have come across numerous people in Glasgow who tell me they get scared in London because there are so many black people around. Again, the way they express themselves implies they feel no sense of shame whatsoever - they just don't see there's anything wrong in expressing obviously prejudiced opinions.

I'm not denying for a second that racism doesn't exist elsewhere (and I'm not forgetting that the survey found 3 in 4 Scots aren't racist) but this is the only place I've encountered bigots who have the expectation that my opinion must be the same as theirs.

reply from me: "actually, on Friday we both determined that we had the wrong CD and would have to special order a new copy. On Monday."

reply from my boss: "There must have been some miscommunication here."

yeah, between your ears and your brain. moron!

What the fuck?

Despite the fact that she's obviously still pregnant.

However, I AM authorized to purchase them, however I want, whenever I want.

What does that even mean?

SUBJECT LINE: I gotta get outta this place
...if it's the last thing I ever do (feel free to hum along.)

After a delightful morning spent discussing why someone:
1. Shouldn't open a printer paperfeed drawer, while the printer is printing;
2. Shouldn't send emails to everyone on their mailing lists about Church-related emails;
3. Should let others know when they need the printer instead of deleting documents in the queue;
4. Shouldn't tell someone "this is urgent" so they work really late to get it finished, when really, it isn't urgent at all and in fact, doesn't need to be done at all; and
5. Shouldn't take someone else's lunch from the refrigerator and leave it on the counter to make room for "extra drinks in case we have visitors,"
I have now experienced the conversation to top them all (and really, you have to laugh at this one. I did. Once I calmed down, imbibed chocolate and nicotine, and thought "well, at least it's not quantum physics?). So....here it is:

A Dialogue between "M" (yours truly) and "S" (Otherwise known as Scarett/Princess/Arch Nemesis/The Scarf Lady/etc.)
S: Hey "M"!
M: Yes?
S: You know how to work that digital camera yet?
M: Yeah, figured it out last week.
S: How long does it take to get those photos developed?
M: What?
S: I need some photos really fast, so I can photocopy them and make notes on the back. And get duplicates too, in case they get messed-up.
M: What? What pictures do you need taken?
S: I need to you take pictures of my computer.
M: Why?
S: I need to know what's on my computer.
M: (sigh) You are looking for a file?
S: No, I need to know what is on my screen thing.
M: (dawning awareness) You need screen captures?
S: No, I need pictures of my computer.
M: For....?
S: I need to know what's on my screen, 'cause these instructions don't make sense and I want to make notes.
M: Okay, then you need a picture of the information on your screen, that you can print and add notes to?
S: Yes.
M: Okay, we don't need the camera for that. We can just do screen captures. It's easy.
(M walks over to other office, taking deep and soothing breathes all the while, and explains how to "CTRL+ALT+PrtScn" - runs into trouble with explanation of holding down all keys at the same time. Eventually resolved and screen is captured.)
M: Now open Word and set the page to ?Landscape.?
S: My computer won't do that.
M: What? Yes it will.
(M goes through brief discussion of "portrait" vs "landscape" and how to perform operation in Word. Discovers part of problem is that S doesn?t know how to open Word because the icon isn?t on her desktop.)
M: Now just hit "Shift+Insert" and your screen shot will be inserted.
M: No, you need to hold down both keys at the same time.
M: I don't know, that's just the way the program is designed.
M: Yeah, it is find of frustrating.
M: Okay, now you have it. Just insert a new page for each of the next screen captures and then print the file.
(M returns to own desk and gets back into rhythm of formatting proposal.)
S: M! It isn't working. I want you to take the pictures for me.
M: I don't have time to take the pictures right now, I have to get this back to _____.
S: Well, I don't have the time to use the camera, so I guess this won't get done and _____ will be mad.
M: Yeah, I guess ___ will be mad, but I'll explain the problem to him.
S: Can't you do these thingys for me?
M: No, not right now. I have to get this done.
S: You know, it's your job to do this.
M: No, actually it isn't. I am sorry, but I really can't do it right now. If I have time later I'll come over and see what we can do. In the meantime, why don't you look under the "Help" menu to see if those instructions are better.
S: Oh, my computer doesn't have any "Help" on it. I keep telling ____ he needs to fix it, but he won't.

(M decides, for sake of sanity, to not try and figure out what that last comment means and returns to her editing, swearing all the while.)
End of original email.

And here are additional interesting tidbits about ?S?:
She claimed on her resume to be ?Microsoft Certified,? but was unable to explain what that meant;
She wrote all of her correspondence in Excel, because she didn?t know how to open Word (the icon wasn?t on her desktop);
When she came into work each morning, she made herself a pot of tea and sat in her cubicle reading household decorating magazines and drinking tea for the first two hours: and, best of all
She was once asked to provide a file that she had finished working on to another co-worker. The file was not on her hard drive for, as she explained, she ?didn?t want to fill it up with things? (and it was a 20 G HD!) File was eventually determined, by her, to be on a floppy. But floppy was blank when co-worker opened it. Eventually ?S? showed supervisor where she stored all of her floppys containing important info. She was attaching them to the metal parts of her cubicle with large magnets, so she ?could always find them.?

~ Laura (who is thankful that she can claim to be a happy rat, that abandoned the sinking ship in time to move to a much cushier and affluent ship, and is now ridiculously happy with things)

I've met a few people who have done basic "computer literacy" courses at colleges and Adult Ed. places who do this. What seems to happen is: the college says "don't store your files on the hard drive [of our lab computers], use a floppy" and the person absorbs this without understanding *why* they're being told it.

These sort of courses always seem to produce people who can't do anything except exactly what was on the course, and then only if their computer is set up exactly like the college ones were. Hence, not being able to start Word if it doesn't have a desktop icon.

(of course, the other stuff shows that this person seems to be a fuckwit regardless of that)

The ex-receptionist at my office once printed out an email so she could type it up in Word.

it's a sappy day.

1. "What does agriculture mean?"

2. "I was so annoyed. Someone threw themselves under my tube yesterday. People that do that must be mad."

3. Me: "Just tell them to put the web address in and it will take them straight into the site."

Her: "What address? Their address?"

Other things he did: worked at his cube standing up (making everyone around him very tense), unbuttoned his shirts halfway down his chest, commented on every phone conversation I had (work related or not), talked to himself, and played horrible CD-Rs of cabaret tunes he wrote and produced. I think the whole experience inoculated me against ever being annoyed by co-workers again.

Unfortunately something this stupid is uttered in my office at least once a day...

I'm not sure I ever want to become management around here because the lobotomy process to remove your critical thinking skills must be painful.

To be fair I havent worked in a for-profit corporation in like 10 years. Non-profits have their own issues but I can at least get behind our mission.

fwiw, my post included "around here" to my specific situation, not to throw shade at any fine ilxors who no doubt make better managers than I encounter irl

i hope to feel more like my job matters some day in the future.

My job "matters" in that a chunk of the money they give me goes toward putting out records.

i am .. "dating" a guy who is management admin in higher ed. he was complaining to me about how some of the people he manages don't do anything. i empathized because he's hot and i want to keep seeing him but definitely thought "oh i would probably hate you if i worked there" lol.

95% of admin in higher ed are utterly useless and incompetent, tho, fwiw

'not being heard' is basically what has caused my latest work crisis. so....context, I've been here almost 21 years, 7 years is the longest I've stayed in one department, and I'm at that mark right now.

after last year's layoff, my team has gone into a death spiral. my boss is overwhelmed and can't keep up, and there is another boss who joined here who is very clearly terrible at everything and has mastered the art of pretend-work, which is doing unnecessary things while drawing attention to herself doing them to give the appearance of doing work. She regularly breaks promises, telling people she'll take care of something for them and then at the last minute saying she couldn't get to it, leaving that person holding the bag. and gets defensive when called out on it. frequently "enhances" internal team tools with a new tool that is worse than the previous one - she created one Smartsheet which had like 20 column headers, some of which were redundant and unclear.

this year, we rolled out a new call-handling tool. it's been a disaster, it was developed without our input, and it does not work for our training environment. for four months me and another colleague have been going to the development team with what we need and been rudely rebuffed, basically being told to implement a solution that we told them would not work (and we were proven correct just two days ago). One of their superiors finally called them out for being obstinate and unhelpful but the damage was done.

the worst part is I'm not from the technical side, so whenever there's a problem, there are two teams that need to talk to each other, and they always refuse to, they always make me be the middle man (which I HATE). I told my bosses I couldn't do this anymore, they needed to escalate this for me and get the two parties to talk to each other so I could focus on other things. they promised me they were doing exactly this, said they were talking to our department head, etc.

the behavior didn't improve - and when I was constantly facing interference or pushback from the asshole development head (who I have negative history with which I suspect is behind his trying to fuck me over), none of them have spoke up to support me. only my colleagues have. eventually I gave up yesterday and decided to let our tool stay broken and I told my boss this, said I'm not investing any more effort, that I'm being fought at every opportunity and I'm giving into the sludge. weirdly, he accepted that.

so now we have a broken call-handling tool that is garbage for our training, that isn't even finished, and nobody is being held accountable whatsoever. and yet my boss tells me I'm a candidate for a bonus for all of the awesome work I've done.

.....you're paying me off because you know I'm mad and you don't want me to leave. just call it what it is. I've achieved nothing because I've had Ron Swansons standing in my way.

sucks, man.

I think the secret is that some management doesn't care about things working well, as long as it is within certain parameters of working. My guess is that you'll get some changes, but only after things work exceedingly poorly for a bit, and nothing's going to be ideal. The only luck I have had is in being succinct, consistent, and documenting. Sounds like your boss thinks this whole thing is a clusterfuck and doesn't want to make it any of their responsibility.

pretty much. meanwhile our division leader is not likely to raise alarms because escalating any issues will draw attention to her bosses that things are amiss, especially since it was largely her call to cut ties with the former department head and replace her with someone who was not ready to lead. so she will tolerate wagons rolling on three wheels, she'll only step in if there's money we stand to lose, which hasn't happened yet.

House of cards starting to come down slowly for other boss, now that my boss is starting to get screwed by it. encouraging sign.

the other day, one of our sharep0int sites that hosts our reports ran out of memory. my boss usually fixes this in less than 4 hours (but he went home sick). Useless other boss ignored our protests and unilaterally decided to move all reports to a new location and stated we'd use it going forward. Caused mass confusion for 3 days, and was completely unnecessary as the memory issue was resolved next morning as expected.

then she notifies my boss and I that she's setting up a meeting to discuss a class I'm in charge of that started today, talking about a new schedule and a staging environment my trainers would need to use. my boss and I said "uh, thanks, but we're not doing this - the class already started, a little late to be telling us".

i've found that if it's difficult to describe what you do to someone completely outside of your area of work, you are likely holding a bullshit job.

I will sometimes describe my job as like what Harvey Keitel does in Pulp Fiction except there are no dead bodies or guns.

Re management and being listened to: I have found that people above you in the hierarchy will always practice selective listening. Maybe you get more time to talk. Maybe they skim rather than ignore your emails. Maybe you get invited to special meetings. Maybe you get a free lunch that you also get paid to eat. But if your feedback doesn’t fit their priorities or agenda… which if you are actually engaged with the work and the people on the “front lines” you will be telling them things they don’t want to think about. This happens at nonprofits too. Same issues, different jargon. The only certain thing is you get more free lunches in management.

one of our partner sites had a localized application outage today which they repeatedly misrepresented as global, then gave instructions to their employees to tell everybody in their training classes to not use an application, even though those employees do not work for their company and are not impacted by this issue. they did this without talking to me first. this angered the managers of those employees and I had to apologize to them.

lol....Monday.

their defense was "we told your leadership, we were under the impression there was a global system status message for you all".

...Yes, the system status message reported a *local outage* in a location we don't belong to, and did not indicate any action necessary for anybody in said location, much less OUTSIDE said location.

Like what they're saying is akin to me living in Apartment C, being angrily told by my apartment manager "YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO USE YOUR WATER BETWEEN 2 - 4 PM", and when I protest I wasn't told, being pointed to an email addressed to Apartment A saying "there's a leak and your water is off".

95% of admin in higher ed are utterly useless and incompetent, tho, fwiw

gee, thanks

Someone using the name "My homies buttthole sounds like a fuckin slushie machine" kept hijacking one of our training classes in T3ams, even as they left and created new ones, and kept screen-sharing nasty porn (including bestiality) in the meeting.

The last time, he joined under his government name, revealing he was one of our contractors, and he was fired seconds later. Class is 4 hours behind and traumatized.

Not my class but the email detailing the incident is perhaps the most bizarre work email I've ever read

wow

Florida

there is a terrible display name suggestion right there for anyone on the board who is up for it

The bad thing is that is still a somewhat sanitized version of what the name actually was

For a moment there the image of a person's butthole resembling a slushie machine cast my mind back to the gentle nostalgia of Goat.se, or Goats.ex, or whatever the URL was.

A simpler, kinder age.

red white and blue Punisher skull tattoo that was stretched to cover the forearm

tangential to the thread, but I was driving to lunch with coworkers the other day and we saw a punisher skull sticker on someone's vehicle but we couldn't figure out the color scheme. my coworker says "isn't that autism awareness puzzle pieces thing?"

I have no idea if that is what it was, but we were cracking up about an autism awareness punisher the rest of the way

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1171038443/thin-pink-line-punisher-skull-with

the punisher thing is such an appropriate icon for maga types - people who worship punishment afaict

As mentioned elsewhere I had a nasty bout of sciatica earlier in the year, which is nature's way of telling you that you're not young any more. It's nature's way of telling you that you had one chance to hike Greenland's arctic circle trail, and you had a go, but you'll never do that again. That even if you win the lottery you probably won't get to see Everest with your own eyes, unless you fly past it.

It also led to an uncomfortable anger-guilt-self-loathing-anger-irritation spiral. See, one of my co-workers is disabled. We do not talk about this. We do not mention it, and that suits her fine. And I suddenly realised why she doesn't like to talk about it. Obviously I knew on an intellectual level, but knowing something as a fact and knowing it as a feeling are two different things.

At first it's refreshing to have people say "why are you limping", "what's wrong", "are you in pain", "have you taken painkillers", "are you doing okay", "you look unsteady on your feet", "why are you walking like that".

But it quickly becomes wearing having to reply with "sciatica", "sciatica", "yes", "yes", "no", "that's not a question", "sciatica". Over and over again. But it's hard to dislike people who express genuine concern. And yet it's annoying to deal with this repeatedly. Sometimes it's best to nod and move on. To paraphrase someone famous, at least we can wave to each other. Or something. I don't remember the quote.

never liked my co-workers as much as the ones i have now. i love these people. but the gasligthing IT department can fuck off forever, imo.

Sorry to hear it, AP.

One of my coworkers has had a rough year. Had a torn muscle in her calf, and now she has a stress fracture in her foot, seemingly unrelated.

My mentee, a nice young man, was sorry to hear it and asked if she'd been running or something after recovering from the prior injury and I had to tell him, no, when you get to a certain age it just becomes more likely your body just does that.

"I picked up the newspaper wrong ..."

I am so confused by this outlook— “your body just starts breaking when you get older, it’s natural!” It actually isn’t!

i mean strains, pulls, aches, pains – sure. bones lose their density and will break easier... but they shouldn't just snap on their own!

The last time, he joined under his government name, revealing he was one of our contractors, and he was fired seconds later.

what the fucking fuck. was this contractor a 12 year old or something?!

as you get older it’s just more likely you’ll have some ailments! or more likely that you’ll have encountered a health issue that you have a small percentage of encountering per year, because you have more years under your belt.

I didn’t mean that in a “this happens to everyone” way but almost all of us are going to have some random medical outcome at some point and treating that as more normal than as a scary outlier is a decent outlook to have when we’re all here to support each other, imo

Table, the outliers are people who get past 50 and don’t have these problems. Maybe this is just my born female perspective because of the Big M, which I think I officially entered today. There are things you can take or do to reduce the side effects but … the older you get, the more you will have to do/take.

The friend I was finally going to get to hang out with today…. tore a calf ligament… 54.

I've basically turned into a janitor. I was elevated to a Training Manager temporarily this fall to supervise the supervisors of the classes. All was going well, and then the coordinator of the group got promoted, and the other 3 were so reliant on her that they fell apart.

Literally every question they get from the trainers, they turn around and ask me. They don't make any decisions.

They also randomly stopped doing one of the assignments last week. I gave up trying to push back because it was taking them so long to do things that I delegated to them that it was blowing back on me.

The temporary assignment ends next week and I've been told I may get another bonus for it but I've never understood how someone can just willfully abdicate responsibilities. I can't discipline them either because they don't even work for my company (they're a third party vendor)

(I meant janitor as in "clean up other's messes, but realize that was a poor choice of words. I'm sorry about that.)

Ooops, sorry— here's an actual post:

occasional climbing buddy and generally good guy gets job running youth programs for two of the company's gyms. Everyone thinks it will go great because the person who held the job before him was sort of checked out and working another job that she clearly cared about a lot more.

Fast forward four months: the guy is a complete disaster. Not only does he refuse to take advice from people who have worked for the company for 5+ years and have helped run youth programs, he also insists on reinventing the wheel and creating entirely new processes for every single element of the programming, most of which were fine before he came in. Finally, and this is the kicker— he is a terrible fucking coach!! We have lost two families who have pulled their kids out of the youth classes because their kids dislike him so much, and he spends an inordinate amount of time talking to the kids instead of *letting them climb,* which is the point of the whole thing.

Anytime he is approached with feedback or criticism, either from colleagues or parents, he gets defensive and angry. I've not only had to cover for him when he "forgot" he was coaching a class, but I've also had to field parental complaints about him at least once a week since he started.

Never have I worked with someone where my opinion of them personally is so inversely proportional to my opinion of them professionally. Nice guy, terrible at his fucking job! It's fucking nuts!!

I've noticed that almost nobody seems to be able to take feedback these days, similar to the friend you describe. We had someone try to rage quit because of a one sentence polite, constructive feedback.

I do wonder if people being online and subjected to criticism much more frequently and being anxious about mistakes being forever preserved in amber has caused people to also react angrily IRL by proxy due to the pressure they feel as a result. Granted i don't know anything about your friend to know if any of that would apply to them, but it does feel bizarrely difficult to give feedback in the workplace vs a decade ago.

Is there another position thos friend might be better suited to,do you think?

I think he would do super well as a coach for more advanced classes, like Team and Junior Team, which act as feeders toward USA Climbing Youth competitions and local circuit competitions as well. (One of our former team kids was in the Olympics last year, fwiw). The issue is that he is treating the youth classes, sometimes with kids as young as 7 in them, like they're part of this feeder program, but that isn't the way they work— they're supposed to be fun after-school classes for kids to learn to climb and gain confidence, and then the kids who are clearly talented and *interested* get funneled into the more advanced Team programs.

He also wears a ton of really horrible-smelling, aquatic-heavy cologne— like the scent stays in the room for an hour after he leaves it— and it drives me fucking crazy.

I think you might be right in your hypothesis, tho— people have become much less able to take criticism IRL. It's wild.

Honestly, part of the issue is also that I know I would do the job much better than he would, but I don't really want it, because while I love coaching kids, I am awful at interfacing with demanding parents, which explains why I am so pissed off at him, because I am one of the people that parents complain to when he fucks up!

Punisher skull tattoo complained about China trying to kill Americans with fentanyl this week AND about Trump's Secretary of War shit, the military-industrial complex and ICE raids. In summary, my co-worker is a land of contrasts.

We have a supervisor who refuses to learn where anything in the plant is so when we're short a body in the control room (radio base that sends people to fix stuff) she sends people on unnecessarily long walks and climbs when another person is already closer - or when the task isn't even their job. Which wouldn't be a problem but if anyone pipes up and says "that's a level 9 job, not a level 7 job and we have two level 9s currently looking at their phones so they're not occupied" she snaps at them. She gets rude with people on a regular basis for other things but that's less problematic for me than not knowing the job.

I can't imagine trying to supervise in this atmosphere with poor people skills - you have no real authority, we have a strong union (discipline-wise) and making all the mechanics dislike you means they work by the book and half as fast on your shifts.

So, I didn’t get the facility manager job I had applied for, which I mentioned either here or on another thread.

Right now, a team is giving the gym walls a much-needed repainting. The route setting team, which I am a part of, is helping with this on Tuesdays, our usual setting day… but in the meantime, walls that have already been painted are being reset on Mondays by two members of our gym’s team and some outsiders from other gyms.

One of the people from our team is the person who got facility manager position.

In essence, I just feel really unappreciated and like I can never catch a break, but if I express that I think the regular team should be setting in addition to helping paint, it comes across as angsty and childish. Like, we won’t be setting for most of this month, and we’re doing MORE painting in December. I just started as a setter!! Let me set and learn!!

Just feel like I am wasting my time, pondering quitting just to spite everyone.

Sorry if that’s hard to follow. TL;DR: the person who got the job I wanted and would be better at gets to have fun and continue to hone her skills while I am stuck painting and doing shit work that no one ever recognizes or cares about.

A co-worker got food poisoning and I rushed to the gym on the morning of my fucking birthday to open up, ffs. Just totally unappreciated

If you have experience painting walls, you can get a job at an art museum! Sad lol.

But yeah, I can totally relate to what you’re describing. In fact, 8 years ago, I was doing wall painting and maintenance while my colleagues were hanging out talking about how they had UK dual citizenship and upcoming European travel, and here I was doing manual labor that they didn’t feel any inclination to help with. So I felt like I was beneath them, and they saw me that way. But it was just in my head.

I actually find painting walls kinda meditative… I have had some major insights while painting walls.

If you have experience painting walls, you can get a job at an art museum! Sad lol.

I am guilty of taking a short video clip of some guys rolling white paint on to a wall at the NY MoMA which I sent to a friend who worked at an art museum with the caption "interesting performance piece in this installation!"

Forearm Punisher skull was talking about paid protesters in Chicago. They’re actually a traveling organization, like the Dead.

Shit's pretty calm at work finally but the one grifter I mentioned upthread continues to provide "innovations" nobody asked for that are useless.

There's a rollout of a new feature in one of our apps on Monday. This feature was documented in a 4 slide PowerPoint anybody can use. It's 5 minutes of information, tops.

This grifter took the PowerPoint, created a training module basically plagiarizing most of the PowerPoint but added a professional recorded 25 second audio file that just summarizes everything in the doc.

This module requires you to create an account on the website it's hosted on. She had to post an SOP on how to create an account in the email.

My friend and I ignored her stupid presentation and just gave everyone the PowerPoint instead. Which requires no account and no reading an SOP

i was able to successfully chance cubicle locations at my job without having to explain the real reason i wanted to move was because the person across from me was humming the melody to Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" multiple times every goddamn day.

haha... sorry and congrats
my dad has been whistling the riff from Call Me Al for as long as I can remember!
