Day 22 - Pet Peeves

Day 22 - Rant about something.  Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel.

Honestly, I'm pretty easy going and only a few things really make me want to get up on soapbox.  Here are a few of my pet peeves:

-Stopping the microwave before the time is up and not clearing out the remaining time.  Call this a trait of a semi-OCD accountant personality.  But seriously???  How hard is it to clear out the time that's left?!  I'm guilty of clearing out the time on all the microwaves at work.  It just bothers me.

Really?????

-Adults leaving dirty dishes in the kitchens at work.  By the time you're old enough to be working in an office setting, you should realize that your mom is not here to do the dishes. Clean up after yourselves folks!! I wish I would have taken a picture; one day someone else got fed up with a full sink and made a sign to let people know that there wasn't a maid on our floor.  And things have been clean since :)

-When the refrigerator at work is too full for my lunch box.  The floor I work on is only half full, but the fridge is almost always packed!!!  Like I have to separate out my lunch items and find little hidey holes in the fridge - yogurt in the door with the butter compartment, other lunch items in the crisper drawers...... If you bring something up here, remember to take it home or throw it out!!  At one of the places I worked at, someone left something in the fridge long enough that it molded and stunk up the entire fridge and even the freezer.  I worked just outside the kitchen and could smell it at times.  It was horrible!!

So, there's obviously a trend here.....people claiming to be professionals can't take care of their own stuff. This just reinforces the fact that "common sense" is NOT common!!  It drives me nuts sometimes!!!!!

In other news, the weather is absolutely gorgeous today!!! The sun is shining and I finally got to wear my sunglasses again :). Maybe the birds (like the baby one below I found hiding in the flower bed) are even chirping.
