Attitude Adjustment - Please Help

[Jack_Dawson]

Got a call from the boss tonight. He's not happy with something and wants us to come into the office tomorrow morning (SUNDAY) at 9:00.

I make a nice salary - but fucking w/ my weekend really pisses me off. I'm bitter. Someone adjust my attitude.

:mad:

1. Can you decline?

Is it something that can wait till Monday?

Alternately, can you take comp time next weekend to make up for it?

[Jack_Dawson]

2. I work for Tony Soprano

He wants a meeting - he gets a meeting. :mad:

[mac56]

6. damn

Go along to get along, I guess. Suck it up and tough it out. After the crisis is all resolved, then I'd talk nicely but firmly to the boss and say you don't plan to interrupt your weekends anymore. He'll have to adjust his expectations.

[yvr girl]

3. He better supply coffee and something to eat

How about a spanking, will that fix your attitude?


:spank:

4. keep thinking about that nice salary

and then think about ALL the people out here trying to make it on minimum wage....
keep thinking about that nice salary
keep thinking about that nice salary
keep thinking about that nice salary
keep thinking about that nice salary

7. My thoughts exactly.

Remember those stuck at Wally World and McDonald's.

9. Minimum wage?

Fuck that wouldn't go far in Southern California. Anyway - point taken. :beer:

5. Try This...

Picture yourself near a stream.
Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world."
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is clear.
You can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water.
Look.
It's the person who caused you all this stress in the first place.
What a pleasant surprise.
You let them up, just for a quick breath.
Then...ploop!
Back under they go...
You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want.
There now... feeling better?

Works for me. :D

11. okay, so because some people are unemployed

that means people who do have jobs have to put up with shit?!

I don't understand.

Add on edit: You're obviously not a union member.

[Jack_Dawson]

13. Yeah what he said

:beer:

[Deja Q]

17. Hmm, they WILL get rid of the haughty and put in people who WILL take shit

and in times like these, it's a seller's market.

[Breeze54]

18. I'm just saying

that he should be grateful to have a good paying job!
He didn't say it was a UNION job!
He said, "THE OFFICE"!
THAT implies a SALARY!
When someone is on salary, they 'can be' asked to work
over and above the hours of the rest of the employee's!
There are a lot of people out of work in this country!
Maybe he should suggest a WEEK-END person(s)to fill in on his days off?!
It didn't sound like it was 'the usual SOP' of his boss.
So? One lousy Sunday?
Think of it as a step towards, maybe, an even better paying job!
But I still don't have any sympathy for ya!
Sorry!
:shrug:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Hello, Peter. What's happening?

Um, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around nine, that would be great.

Oh, oh, yeah…I forgot. I'm gonna also need you to come in Sunday too. We, uh, lost some people this week and we need to
sorta catch up. Thanks.

[Jack_Dawson]

20. Is that from Office Space?

It ringz a bell.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

21. You apparently didn't put one of the new cover sheets

on your TPS reports.

If you could just go ahead and make sure you do that from now on, that would be great.
