The A.sshole/B.itch test!

find out much much of a b.itch or an a.sshole you are!

What's also a b.itch is political games.
Yesterday was the top day until now: first we had a 'no', then we had a 'yes', then a 'no', then a 'yes', another 'yes', and finally a 'no'. Today we had a partial 'yes'. To what question am I giving the answers? Do we fuse (with that which was an administration until now)? The prelude to this game is also a b.itch. First we had June 15, 2004, then we had January 1, 2005, then July 10, 2004, and finally it has become June 30, 2004, July 1, ... Who knows what's next  and when (there's still a part missing)!
I'll post the answer to the Quiz in the quiz-thread.

I want to win b.itch of the week again.  So I am going to b.itch every day this week!  I am going to insert a random rant into a post in this thread every day.  Todays topic: Star Wars
First of all, they shoot lasers and fly spaceships in Star Wars.  Secondly, the people shooting the lasers, and flying the spaceships, and using the high-tech stuff are definitely humans.  So how the hell can it take place "a long time ago"?  I mean, honestly!! If humans could've done that a long time ago, do you think we'd be sending thingies to MARS??? NO!!!!!  Can't you at least make the introduction to your movies, I dunno...REALISTIC?  Most authors try to do that, but I guess George Lucas is above that?
Speaking of which, what makes him a good writer anyways?  Can one person name one virtue of his writing other than, I dunno, the cult it's created?

Indiana Jones was Good , anyway B.itch of the week is going to be announced soon , Q you have to b.itch abit more

[racx_00]

The b.itch of this week is Q

Congratulations you B.itch , try not to be a b.itch again next week

[Questing Character]

  I only b.itched once!!  What happened to competition?  Everyone else is slacking!!  SLACKERS! PROCRASTINATORS!  It's amazing you get anything done in life!
>closes heavy, old, dusty book< Thus ends the b.itch.  I must return to avoiding doing anything now.

[racx_00]

I need to see some b.itching otherwise there will be no b.itch of the week

[Questing Character]

You people expect me to do all the work, don't you?  Well, you know what?  I was b.itch last week--and I'll be b.itch this week again too it looks like.  Do you know how stressful it is to be b.itch of the week?  I'll b.itch about it to you!
FIRST, you have to be irritated, which above all else is the MOST irritating part of the job.  I mean, honestly, we b.itches need to find something to b.itch about--and that is NO PICNIC!!
As if that weren't enough, then you have to relive the irritation of being irritated!  You have to talk/type about it eloquently enough to call it a successful b.itch.  This, for example, is a b.itch I am proud of!

But I'm not going to carry the weight of being b.itch all on my own!  You all have to start PULLING YOUR WEIGHT AROUND HERE!!

[Jeysie]

You know... I do have a lot of stuff I could b**** about, but quite frankly, listening to Questie b**** is f***ing hilarious.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Questing Character]

-_-
Don't make me do a b.itch about people who don't come on ANY IM programs that I've got when they're posting Jeysie, 'cause I will!  Either b.itch or sign on!

Random rant:

Why do my co-workers have to be so friendly? Before I sound demented, it's not that I want them to be mean or anything, just less chatty. It leaves me in the rather annoying situation where I have to figure out the quickest way to end the attempted conversation (because I'm, you know, trying to concentrate on WORKING! ) without seeming like a b****. A few situations that come to mind:

* One co-worker insists on always bugging me about the fact that my monitor is dusty. It's like, I can see the damn display just fine, the damn monitor is going to fry my eyes anyway because it's too old to have a decent refresh rate, so why waste my time cleaning it every day?

Of course, I once came in to find that somebody (gee, I wonder who?) had written "WASH ME" in the dust, and I then had to waste time cleaning it because the letters were too distracting to see through. Thanks a lot.

(Note: I'm hardly a slob, I just prefer not to bother cleaning something when there isn't a practical need for it.)

* One day I was busy separating invoices to be mailed, and the same co-worker came by and asked, "Do you ever miss?" In hind-sight, I wish I had thought to say, "Only when people distract me by talking to me!"

* Today, the same co-worker (can you tell I just love this guy? Not.) asked me in a suggestive voice, "So, where is Harrison taking you for the weekend?" (Seems like everybody *else* is going somewhere fancy for the weekend, yay sucky me.) I offered, "Well, actually, he's working all weekend because of what's going on in Florida. Oh, but we are going to the Berkshires on Sunday night. For a party for him and his family members. The attendence of which will consist solely of him and his family members." The co-worker then noted, "Wow, going to the Berkshires for the weekend sounds about as exciting as going to Palmer for the weekend." I noted, "Yep, more or less." (Palmer is a very dinky town set in the middle of Booniesville, MA, so in other words, going to the Berkshires for a weekend is mostly boring.)

Of course, he's always making stupid suggestive (and inappropriate) comments about Harrison and I anyway. It's like, "If anything were going to happen, I'm reasonably sure it would have by this point, so could you maybe SHUT UP ABOUT IT?! Thanks."

Gripe, gripe, gripe, must kill co-worker.

Plus, they always pick on me when I leave early. Well, maybe if I had enough WORK to stay the whole shift, I would. I could just sit around with my thumbs up my butt doing nothing the rest of the shift and wasting my pay, if it makes you feel better. LEAVE ME ALONE!

Of course, on the rare days I do have enough work to stay later, another co-worker invariable comments... "Busy today, isn't it?" Me: "Yep." Co-worker: "Do you like it when it's busy?" Me: "Sometimes." (I dunno, what am I supposed to say? Since it is busy, I'm trying to get work done, so how about leaving me alone to do it? Thanks.)

BLAAAAAARGH!

(end rant)

Peace & Luv, Liz

Have you tried ignoring the remarks they make yet?
BTW, there's a difference between being friendly and being annoying. My co-workers are friendly, but they don't annoy me with stupid remarks.
I have too much work I want to do these days:
a) trying to keep koko behind me in posting position as long as I can
b) importing mails from OE4 to OE6
c) work stuff because the programmer that's supposed to develop a script to make my life easier is not replying to my reminders.

[Jeysie]

I have tried ignoring the co-worker I don't like. It does provide the immediate benefits of not having to bother interacting with him, but seems to do nothing for clueing him in that I don't want to be bothered.

Unfortunately the "Busy today, isn't it?" co-worker is slightly higher-up, and therefore ignoring her is not a wise idea.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I haven't had many annoying co-workers like that before.  The times I did, I usually just say something like "Wow.  You're funny."  or "A-HAA-HAAA" (in more of a mocking laugh than a real one).

But if they ever made rude comments (most likely as a joke) I'd just give them a dirty looks, or say "Excuse me?!" in a pissed off sort of way .  Usually they learn, and if not, just start walking towards them while you say it, as if you're ready to beat them to a pulp.
