Quote of the Day

Well, not today's but more like yesterday's but I still thought it was pretty funny.
"Grow a sac class" (by DR)
Now you have to understand that where I work it's construction and a bunch of guys who love to work around girls as long as they aren't girly girls. If they yell at you and you cry, they wonder if they can keep you around because inevitably you are going to get yelled at again. Now lets see in the eight years I've been there I think I've gotten yelled at maybe once or twice, and much to your surprise I didn't cry. No, I'd get pissed and cry over stupid stuff like raises and fair treatment. But now that we are corporate they can't get away with as much =) Either that or I've been around long enough that when they are being A**holes I ignore them, or tell them to shut-up.
There is one girl in particular who is fairly new, and I guess both of her bosses make her extremely nervous and have made her cry over dumb things that typically anyone in her position would know. It's her job and you have to know how many employees you pay each week?!? But I guess 'brain fart' is more what happened.
So now there is a particular course that girls in our line of work must complete upon arrival.

"Grow a Sac Class"
Course Description: Learn to ignore the A**holes, it can be a long or short class depending on how you learn. You learn such techniques as to smile while you are really pissed. Venting all of your frustrations on Innocent drivers that are to slow so by the time you make it home you are full of smiles and joy. And most of all the hardest to master, saying "Oh, I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood. Yes, I'll have that in one sec.". When you really want to say, "If you would have asked for that in the first friggin place you could leave me alone so I could do the 50 other friggin things you asked me to do!!!"

Hahahahah. I'll have to assume DR is good old Danny Riley. Tell that crazy looney I said hi! And he only made me cry once (or twice) until I too got immune and grew some "balls"! =)
