Twojarslave,I didn’t think anything made your blood boil.
Oh this does. Almost as much as Massholes.
Speaking about regionality - I grew up in California until I was 12 then moved alllll the way across the country to a little sleepy town on the Southcoast of Massachusetts where 3/4 of the town had lived there for 1000 years. I could barely understand half the words coming out of these savages mouths when I first moved here. I finally learned their pig latin after 6 years then it was time for me to go on down south and re-figure out how to order a fucking soda speaking English, my native language.
All in all, at least I know how to ask where the water fountain/bubbler is across the US lol

Hey sweetie - I was up near your neck of the woods this past weekend - Fryeburg, ME/N Conway, NH. Drove like an asshole the entire way 
Yeah well I’ll be sure to drive three under the speed limit and brake liberally next time I see Mass plates in my rearview!

Check this out when you get a chance:
It’s crazy.
There are a bunch of goofy accents down in that region. One guy I knew sounded exactly like that and everybody said that was because he was from across the bay. That was down in Hampton Roads and Newport News.
And they thought I sounded funny.

Oh yeah, I have one pet peave, I don’t know why it pisses me off, but it drIves me nuts. When people try to make a professional email and refer to a time as EST when we are in Day Light Time. Which is EDT, or CDT, MDT or PDT. We are in day light time 8 months of the year and supposedly educated people keep referring to Standard Time.
I correct my co- workers so they don’t sound like dumb asses, but I cannot correct customers. I just wonder how dumb they are even when I respond with a confirmation “Yes, 2 PM EDT will be fine.” Like I said , I don’t know why it gets my goat, it just does. I guess I am wierd.
Daylight savings time pisses me off. Period.

I train in the morning, so full sunlight at quarter to five would be great for me but I can see where it would annoy the post-dawn waker-up-ers.
I’m not sure how it works in America but in Australia, not all states have daylight savings. I’m in a state that doesn’t but we border a state that does. It makes it annoying when you are trying to tee something up with someone from that state. And because we don’t have daylight savings I can never remember when it starts and finishes and if we are an hour ahead or behind.
Just keep it uniform people!

Get better co-workers. Just sayin.
Would need new bosses…
Today, I intentionally didn’t schedule a Friday meetjng. Come 1pm, I’m preparing to leave for the day. At 12:50 my boss and coworker ask me to host their conference call because they can’t figure out how to use the software for conference calls and screen sharing.
Currently sitting with 5 monitors and an iPad listening to a dozen people interrupt each other. This is a 4 hour meeting as well…

So they cant use software and cant set a meeting agenda to be effective.
These guys must be great leaders. Enjoy.
