Dirty dishes that are molded over with week old Tuna Helper and the roommates who leave it sitting around. Said it!

Lame.

This one is a little tricky to explain but it makes me nuts. The PA system where I work has a three second delay so that whenever you say something over it you have to be careful to focus on talking and not listen to yourself or it gets all garbled up and the entire store gets to hear you sound like a jackass. It happens regularly and not just to me. Awesome.

The worst...

When people pronounce the word schedule as "shed-jew-ull".

Sick.

Peeve of the day:
The awful sound the fax machine makes at work. Like a screaming baby..with an ear infection...holding a megaphone, but minus any cuteness. Sheesh.

Chaos

So I flew to Salt Lake City for a few days this past week to visit my friend, Jules. For the past few years I've mostly flown with Alaska/Horizon because they have the cheapest fares between Medford and Boise. But this time I flew Southwest. Now I don't know if you're familiar with Southwest's boarding procedure, but basically you get in group A, B or C and then assigned a number. When they start boarding, all the A's go first and try to line up according to their numbers. It ends up being more like a mass of mean cattle pushing and shoving towards the slaughter. Why can't they just assign seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, that is all.

Applying for a job...

Ok, you would think this would be common sense, but apparently not. If you are looking for work and your email address resembles your lifestyle more than your name, maybe you should get an email address separate from your personal one that is just for your résumé. As an HR person, myself, it doesn't bode well to have an email address on your resume like smokidabong@yahoo.com or crackmonkey@hotmail.com. Some of my co-workers and I are going to start a list of these straight-to-the-trash gems, because the list is long, hilarious and deserves publishing.

Creepers

ok, let me just say this. I am a pretty speedy walker. I don't drag my feet or bird watch when I'm walking. I just keep pumping those feet till I get where I'm going. Here's where the peeve comes in. When someone is walking directly behind you, I mean riiiight behind you, step for step. They are basically spooning you. So my move is to stop, pretend I need to get my cellphone or chapstick out of my purse so they can go around me. when I do this 9 times out of 10 they walk WAAAY slower than me and I am forced to walk behind them and do the awkward slower-than-your-used-to-walking walk because I refuse to be the creeper that they are.


Perhaps they are just trying to smell my hair when they walk so close...yeah, that's probably it.
