Grinds my gears
I am very specific and detailed when I explain a problem. VERY. I type and rewrite and take out the crap and stick to the important points.
Example: We have a new way to clock in at work. It doesn't work for me. I followed the directions exactly and took screen shots of the pages I get when I try and clock in, and sent them to the admin guy in charge. I specifically stated IN RED that I click the "record time" AND it DOES NOT send me to the confirmation page. I specifically stated that I DO NOT click "log on"
I get an email back: "You will need to click record time stamp after typing in your user name and password"
Are you fuckin with me?
So I send him an email back, stating AGAIN that I AM clicking "record time."
He calls me.
"Are you clicking record time stamp?"
I can't make this shit up.
"Do you see the pictures I sent you? You see how "record time" is underlined? That's because I had my mouse over it to show that I am indeed clicking "record time""
Also, perhaps, THE 2 E-MAILS I SENT THAT CLEARLY SAID I AM CLICKING RECORD TIME.

To Whom it May Concern
Open letter to people who work for a large company:
Please note there is a difference between "reply" and "reply all." What is that difference you may ask? Well, I guess I'm not surprised you don't know since you continue to press "reply all" when, based on your e-mail, it is clear you should have pressed "reply." You see, "reply" sends your response to the immediate person who sent you the e-mail. Example: I send you, and 3 other co-workers an e-mail. If your response is really just for me, you hit "reply" so your e-mail doesn't get sent to the 3 other co-workers unnecessarily. "Reply all" sends your e-mail to everyone the sender sent to. Example: I send you and 3 other co-workers an e-mail. Your response is meant for, and necessary for, all e-mail recipients. You press "reply all."
Perhaps you already knew the difference, but honestly feel like an entire company wants to know that you, indeed, are a notary and can help out Jeremy with his notary needs. Let me clarify something, we don't care. Also, quit wasting my time to check and then delete e-mails where you are actually having a conversation with one other person. Here is a hint to tell when you should press "reply" instead of "reply all" your e-mail concerns, question, or comment are truly meant for only 1 or 2 people. If you can tell me what my name is, I will allow you to include me in your useless e-mails.
Regards,
AO

Good morning
JD had to work this morning, but I didn't. We slept in a little and when I came downstairs to let the girls out and get breakfast, I found the murder scene:
RIP "The Bull"
It was one of those extra strong toys for rough dogs that has 3 layers of tubing or something before the stuffing. Let's be real, The Bull lasted about a month, which, considering "the baby" (a soft dog) lasted about 10 minutes, is a long time. Unfortunatley, The Bull cost $25 and is unlikely to be replaced anytime soon.
