Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

^ must have studied marketing at uc stalingrad.

what really chaps my ass is the fact that i've barely learned a damn thing since my mentor, the guy who brought me on for the 12 week internship, left the company. he seemed, to me, and to everyone else i've spoken w, to be the lone bright spot on this level of management. he was very hands on and a great teacher, i have to take it upon myself to advance my skills - it's hard when so much of the information is either outdated or simply unreliable. got some great contacts within who can help point me in the right direction, but i can't expect them to consistently take time out of their busy schedules. anyways, i'm chomping at the bit to be officially hired so i can dominate this department and begin my ascension.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Whenever any two women wear the same color to the office on the same day, it's because "they got the memo". Anyone not wearing the same color gets told "they didn't get the memo".


Every time.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Every time.


I was walking in the office with my empty coffee mug in one hand and my Redskins water cup in the other. I was going to the kitchen to rinse my coffee mug out and fill my water cup.

Some older lady asked me "Double-fisting today?"

It caught me off guard because it really sounded like an off-color comment. Office small talk is always painful.

You're lucky, Matty.

Okay, that's pretty bad.

You sound like you're working in the movie Office Space.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Worse. Most days, I'm the only man in the office. This place is like 95% women.

Leading up to the election, there was no intelligent debate or discussion going on...they were just raging about what showed up on their Facebook page that morning.

"I can't believe she wrote that! I wrote her back and said she better stop talking and she said that wasn't going to happen! I might just have to unfriend her!"

^Direct quotes


I agree, people were posting stupid stuff online on both sides, but c'mon...can we act like adults just one day perhaps?

Isn't that a man's dream? I guess not when they're all painfully awkward like that though.

My wife has nothing to worry about...not one is worth a second glance.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Oh God. Old awkward women.

I need to get my shit together now, I'm already awkward. I don't need to be old on top of that.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Triffic. How the hell do you people in N VA. deal with that traffic everyday. I went to Reston Wed. for a Thursday meeting and the traffic going into Reston Wed. evening was not too bad but I left Reston around 4:45 yesterday. It was traffic as far as I could see and not moving. How the hell does 95 come to a stop when there are no traffic signals and no accidents? Someone told me yesterday was not bad compared to most days.

Every time I have to go to Reston I just go ahead and add another 1-2 hours onto my commute. I go to Learning Tree training every few months up there and I just stay in the hotel right behind it even though it's crazy expensive because the traffic up there makes me insane.

This is tough. I live in Arlington and I gladly pay a bit more to reduce my commute. There are people that commute hours each way every day. It's unreal. I get that NoVA salaries are higher than most places in the country, but spending 4 hours of my life in traffic every day isn't worth the reward. My job got moved to Maryland about 2-3 years ago... I made it only a few months and a couple 3 hour commutes until I left.

I live in Woodbridge and commute about 20 miles to Alexandria 5 days a week and it usually takes me 45 min-hour if it's normal traffic. If there's an accident or even a cop on the side of the road it could delay me 15-30 min. I'm used to it by now though.
