Top Ten Excuses for falling asleep at work ^_^
“They told me at the blood bank this might happen.”
“I wasn’t sleeping, I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands.”
“I wasn’t sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!”
“Amen”
“This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to.”
“Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper”
“I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress.”
“This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!”
“Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won’t wear off!”
“Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.”

ok, let me first explain the situation… I work for RadioShack and have been loyal to them for over 2 years. 3 days ago a customer came in to buy a cell phone and we didn’t have the one he wanted. We had one like it but it wasn’t free like the other. The system allows us to “price match” on phones up to $71.00 I lowered the price by $50.00. Now, if you aren’t familiar with these high pressured companies everything revolves around selling wireless phones and expensive electronics. Anyway, since I “price matched” the phone’s price he ended up buying an $800.00 computer from me also. Anyway, long story short. The other store in town found out about my price change and tattled on me to the District manager. He in turn, Blew it out of proportion by contacting our loss and prevention manager and “writing me up” for it (I have NEVER been written up) Anyway, i’m going to quit… and thought I would send him a “nice” letter… this is what it says…
To whom it may concern,
To start off I must say that I have been very loyal to this company for over 2 years. I have never betrayed RadioShack or its management. I have always been on time and called in sick once. On multiple occasions I have come into work on my day off or worked weeks straight. I have given the company no reason to think bad about my performance and have always excelled at work. I bend over backwards for the company’s needs and have done things that I was not required to do.
I must also say, when I first started with RadioShack my father was diagnosed with cancer. In July of 2007 he was diagnosed as terminal and was given 8 months to live. Regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed it would benefit the company if I stayed. I spent every moment outside of work and school with my father as I was very close to him (which amounted to about 2 hours a day) and I knew I didn’t have long with him in my life. Within those 8 months I got to spend two days with him for the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas.) It would have been very easy for me to quit my job with RadioShack and again, regretfully, I kept my job at RadioShack because I believed the company would benefit if I stayed. My father passed away in March of 2008. Being the dedicated employee I am, I only took 2 weeks off of work for the grieving of a man that gave me 20 wonderful years of his life. I also have to add, that I have turned down several higher paying jobs because I enjoyed my job at RadioShack. Now, if that doesn’t tell you that I’m a dedicated employee to RadioShack, I don’t know what is.
Let me leave you with a few thoughts and comments…
There have been an abundance of horrible District managers at RadioShack. I have only seen ONE excellent DM within the 2+ years I have been with RadioShack. And YOU sir, are NOT one of them. I think you are one of the most pompous assholes I have ever met. I believe you have absolutely horrible management skills; let alone district management skills. You don’t even know what in the hell you’re doing with the district. You are a poor leader who just got the DM position because they fired the previous DM, and needed a “filler.” You’ll probably be fired right along with the others. You put nothing but stress on the managers and employees with NO sense of gratitude.
You make a big deal about price changing a wireless phone by $50.00 when the company probably makes more than twice that for that sale. Also, if I’m not getting in trouble for that I’m getting in trouble for NOT selling phones… If you haven’t noticed!!! The economy SUCKS! Your salary may not change because of the economy, but my pay does. Just because I changed the price of the phone I also got a $750.00 computer sale out of it. Now, with all that said…
Just in case you are wondering… I QUIT!!! **** YOU AND **** THIS COMPANY. I don’t get paid enough to deal with your BullShit!!!
Sorry it’s so long…. but I need your input for the letter (basically I want to piss him off) anything you would add???

i live on southern ohio. i finally had everything i wanted. friends, a boyfriend (all of whom loved me to death and vice versa) and everything.
but now i have to move to southern florida. ive been freaking out about it the past couple days (I ONLY HAVE A MONTH!!!) and today i had a complete and total melt down in class, when my lab partner (complete idiot) wouldnt shut up. she kept telling me how stupid i was, and yelling at me. i told her in these exact words: “i swear to god if you yell at me one more time! im not in the f*cking mood!” she still wouldnt leave me alone. so i stopped working. i handed the other people in our group tape, scissors, and sat there with my nails digging into my other fist (anger management) and my head down. i wasnt doing anything wrong. and then she told me in a very rude way to move. see im not usually the type to show my emotions. but as the seether song says “i bottled them up till the well ran over” so i walked out of the class room in tears, and everyone in my grade saw me. my best friend and i cried together, then i went to the bathroom and fixed my makeup and tried to get the red off my face. that was fifth period. ever since then ive been emotionless, which is a trick my best friend taught me. then my boyfriend and i decided that long distance wasnt going to work, and why should we avoid the unavoidable? we broke up. he was (still is) everything to me. now all i want is pot (which ive never tried) alchohal, and ciggerates (which im supposed to quit) i want to cut, and watch all my blood come out. i want everything to stop hurting. now im kinda numb but ya know in intense pain at the same time. i cant deal with all of this, its too much!!!! im a very small fourteen year old girl, my body cant hold that much stress!!! im freaking out. i have scabs on one hand from anger management and my other one is swollen form punching the wall, nothing is working anymore. what do i do???

About september last year, I was very stressed because of poor time management. I will smoke and sometimes drink too when just to ease down. I would have extreme paranoia at times on the bus. Any mean looking person I would be expecting an attack. I am basically ready to take them down. These usually happens when Im depressed but it also happens when Im feeling good. I was thinking I have bipolar. I stopped drinking and smoking in February 2007 and on april I hear whispers that I couldnt understand. I also heard screaming occassionally and I heard crying once. Of course I dont find the source because I was scared. In addition a voice of woman shouted at me wake up! one morning. Oh yea, my thought was awake but my body was paralyzed once before I get up on march. Someone keep whispering the word “Satan” to me while I was paralyzed. I also realized that I might be schizophrenic when for some weird reason I felt like I can jump down 30 ft high

My father seems to think so. I do have a paper-thin temper, but I can keep it in check until I get home or to rehearsal (to rant, dance, or listen to Foamy the Squirrel (a great stress reliever)). Today I just lost it at my father because he was asking a question over and over when I told him, like, three times.
But I really did have a semi-bad day: I fell off the stage and twisted my ankle, I got into a fight with my frenemy, I had to repeat a simple direction five times to a kid in my Russian Literature class who wouldn’t stop asking me, “What are we supposed to do?” over and over again.
I know! It’s a part of life, but I got zero sleep last night. I’m going to snap and I tried to explain this to my father, but he wouldn’t budge. He says he’s going to put me into therapy if I don’t “knock it off.”
Would you do this? Do I honestly have “anger issues?”
(I apologize for the bratty rant.)

It seems like it started probably about 5 years ago, I’m 18 now so I was probably like 14. I have always been a shy, quiet person but have always managed to make friends and maintain relationships pretty effieciently. I still have this problem though- I feel immense pressure is social situations. I always feel like I’m being judged and the feeling is so overpowering that my face tenses up and my cheek starts shaking. It’s really embarrassing and I HATE IT so much. I really want to know how to change it. I have tried these stress management pills but they don’t work, for prom recently I was so nervous- I tried some vodka (not a lot) but it didn’t do anything for me. I have tried sleeping pills and I don’t like them because they make me so tired and I can’t focus. I have tried medicines like nyquil and that makes me a bit drowsy. I just want to know how to change this- it seems like I will never get over it! Please help! Any suggestions! Thanks

Hi,
My BF went to Bangkok on a business trip. He was under great deal of stress, and hence he hired 2 hookers for the night. They encouraged him to ejaculate into their mouth, and drank his cuum. The next day he won the deal and again invited these girls to his hotel to celebrate. I came to learn of it as one of these girls forgot her panty with him, and I found it. He confessed to the crime.
Now he says that it is sorry. He will learn stress management. He will never get hookers again.
Should I forgive him? I think hiring the hookers to manage stress was not so bad, but hiring them to celebrate as well…What do you say?
