Oh in earlier times before I learned restraint, that's exactly what I would have said! LOL Instead, I kept my cool (outwardly anyway) and proceeded w/my method. I just turned my portion of the project in. Only one person out of 7 others, using her method,  is even close to halfway. Boo Yah! Proved my point.
Awesome Job!!!  :smile: You did your work, and took the high road.  :clap: Kudos to you!!!!  :biggrin:

There's a calculation that I have to do at work, that originally, I was taught the manual or long-hand version of the calculation. Actually there are several different ones that we are required to do and I was taught the manual version of each. Anyway, since then, we've been giving software to use which does the calculation for us. I don't like it because you can't see the work. Meaning, if there is a problem with the calculation, either human or software related, it's more difficult to trace, because the final product, doesn't show the steps that it took to get to the answer. So, I do mine long hand. I hate math, but I prefer this method.

Anyway, we have a person in the office w/the personality of a barracuda. I've had to talk to her once about her approach. She's condescending and speaks to everyone as if she's in the worst mood ever and it's their fault. Everyone is afraid to ask her a question, because of her manner.  She just used her attitude on me to berate me for not using the calculator. Why?!? If my calculations result in the same answer (which they do, because I checked) why should I be required to use the damn thing?

She doesn't have seniority on me at all, so I'll do what I want to do, the way I want to do it and eventually she'll give up. :biggrin:

k here is what you do.  take the calclulator, put elmers glue under the nine key.  when she mentions to you that you should use the calculator, take it in both hands like a tennis racket, throw it as hard as you can, as high as you can (you will be given extra bonus points if you wing her) .  Look right at her when you burst out with a maniacal laugh, and start yelling the key is broken.
Or
post this response in a prominent place near the calculator.  If you cant do it, call me I will.

OMG! this woman at work is about to pluck my last nerve! I've had to set her straight once and I've been biting my tongue ever since, hoping she gets it. I guess it's time to let her have it again. She is such an evil hag that no matter what you say to her, she has a way of twisting into a hateful comment.

Seriously, it's going to come down to me turning one of her hateful-ass comments back on her and hopefully it'll make her feel stupid enough that she'll watch how she talks to people. I'd take it personal, but she treats everyone like this. For the sake of office relations, I haven't, but my smart arse nature is screaming for attention here! :biggrin:

 I hate it when they do crop dusting out here.  :mad: They've been buzzing the house for a week.  :mad: I don't know if that stuff is poisonous to animals or not. If any of my animals get sick, or die from it heads are gonna roll.  :behead: Sometimes I wish I had a rocket launcher, to blow'em out of the sky LOL!!!! It's probably a good thing I don't. I think it's bull shit that we're forced to put up with it.  :mad:

My Daddy was a crop duster, they are very hard working men just trying to make a living.  I remember my daddy spraying all day and then mechanicing all night on his helicopter.  Not the best way to have a family life.  What they are spraying is not harmful to your animals, the EPA regulates agricultural chemicals.  Without them, all that food you eat would not exist!

I know they have to do it. It really isn't the pilot himself, it's more the inconvience of having to worry, about any of it affecting my animals. You say it isn't poisonous to animals, but I don't know about continual long term exposure. If it gets in their eyes could it blind them? Does it cause cancer? I'm very adament when it comes to the saftey of my animals. The lady that we bought this place from, had problems with a guy out here because he sprayed illegal weed kiler and killed the garden. She turned him into the EPA, and he had to pay a $10,000 fine.   So I don't truely believe that it's not possible that illegal chemicals get used in crop dusting JMO

Working at the child center with people under the age of 25 is starting to grate on my nerves!  They are more of a pain than the children can be.  I was ready to send two of them home tonight because they were bickering all freakin' night!  :mad: :rant:

Sometimes teenagers and elderly people can be much,much worse to deal with than small children. I would've sent them home. Why ruin a pefectly good evening, because 2 boneheads couldn't get along LOL!!! I work with people over 25 that should either 1) Go back to preschool. or 2) Be returned to the zoo.  :biggrin:
