That is a big one in the education area. Women attend school and get married ten times and when they need their transcript we spend all day looking and then they give us the correct maiden/married name!!

I should be working, but I had to contribute to this thread.

Name your child what you will call him/her!!!!! I can't tell you how many patients we get where the parents call their child something totally different from what they've named them. I can understand things like Michael/Mike, but not naming your child Michael and then calling him Joe! You're going to confuse the poor kid! And I'm not talking just Jr's or just boys, either! That's one thing my mom always was picky about. She always said, "If I has wanted her to be called Shelly, I would've named her Shelly instead of Michelle!"

May I add one?  I hate the phone messages where they say their return phone number so fast you have to listen 18 times to make sure you get it-

Can I just say loud talking is rude in the office!!!!!

WELL HI THERE. LET ME SPEAK UP WHILE I TALK JUST TO YOU SO THE WHOLE DAMN OFFICE CAN HEAR JUST HOW BRILLIANT I SOUND! AND THIS SENSE OF ENTHUSIASM IN MY VOICE, WELL ITS PRACTICED. I KNOW THE GAME AND HOOOWWWWW TO PLAY IT! I'M A WINNER!!!! 

Okay, I'm guilty of that, but it's usually down the hallway toward the president's and vp's office on a Friday afternoon:
Wow, it is beautiful outside! Too bad we're cooped up in here! I wish we could start our weekend early, it looks so nice!

Even better, it's worked before.

You know what i say to corn before I eat it.  See ya tomorrow.  OK, crass, gross, and I accept the jeers of my fellow posters.

I am just going with today. I just ran across something that has the potential to screw up everything I did, and I already did some of it twice. Why is it that no one tells the people that are may be involved that they did some major work. Hello! It screws up the taxes. Dumba$$.

Excuse me now. I must go see a man about a journal entry.

There are times that I have gotten so mad at the office before that I have literally started shaking from holding it in too much!

I used to have a boss like that. Asking him a question was always fun. This exact conversation never really happened, but asking him a question usually went like:

Me: Hey Boss, we're out of toilet paper in the bathroom. Do we have more somewhere?

Boss: Interesting you should ask about toilet paper. Did you know that toilet paper used to be made out of blah, blah, blah.

Boss: Also, it is always a good thing to wipe becuse if you don't you could get blah, blah, blah.

Boss: Something else to note, when you wipe, you should go this direction because blah, blah, blah.

Boss: Funny story . . . I remember when I was a kid, we took toilet paper and blah, blah, blah.

Boss: By the way, did you get that project done yet? No? Maybe you should do more working and less standing around talking so you could get more work done, but you keep at it and you'll catch on real quick. You have a good afternoon and if you need anything else, you just let me know.

Me: Ok, thanks . . . there is just one more thing . . . do you know if we have more toilet paper somewhere?

 

  hmm.  after reading this thread and giving it a great deal of thought ,I think I

  may have a solution for all of you .-  Get up with Trish , let her take ya shoping

  for boots ( she's an expert ) then go back to work , once back at work you have

  2 options , A- STEP ON TOES  or  B- KICK EM IN THE A## TILL THEIR NOSE BLEEDS .

  a few tips , A - if it's a guys toes , hold him by his tie and smile , he outta get the

  message , if he dont , see B , If it's a womens toes , plug ears first .

  B - you may need to hold him (or her ) by the back of neck , also , make sure to

 oil boots first as they only sell them by the pair , sorry , but ya just can't buy a left

 / right boot . 

 If you happen to be appadextrious ,(close enuff ) oil is not required ....

 

Dave write a book- it will be a best seller! garunteed!

Already this am! I meet with students everryday. 8 a day, they have specific appointments which I need to prepare for them in advance. I only have three today because I have other meetings today and letters to prepare. Well my 2:30 appt called and rescheduled for 9:30 and no one tells me. So when I am in a 9:30 meeting with the IT people and they tell me my 9:30 is here and I look confused and they wonder why!!

 

My secretary has been gone for a week and no one can handle doing her job!!! Anyone need a low paying job, but I will be your boss?!?!?

Ruby, what's "low paying" in North Carolina? It may be like winning the lotto in Wisconsin

And really, North Carolina, South Carolina, Don't you think the gig is up? Let's just erase the line and call ya Carolina! It's not like you got the heritage of a cheesehead or something!
