A diabolical, insane person who masterminds these weird little schemes to sabotage me in strange and petty ways, like if I put an important memo into a bunch of people's mailboxes she'll go and take them all out and then say I forgot to send out the memo. No shit. :crazy: Luckily she's retiring soon!! Fuck, I will throw a "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" party!!

Building Automation, which consists basically of heating, air conditioning, security, and fire alarm systems. I can't tell you how many offices I've been in where there is not two people comfortable with a certain temperature. It's mostly women, and it seems one is always hot and one is always cold. I usually tell them I've fixed the problem, even when there wasn't one, and the next time I see them they tell me it has been much better since I fixed it. The other trick is to tell them if they are cold they can adjust the temp. by turning the dial on their thermostat. What they don't realize is in most big offices the thermostat dials are disabled and the temperature is controlled by the building engineers or a computer program in the engineers office or nearest control panel. They always feel better when they think they have some kind of control. After years of doing this, you learn all the little tricks to make them happy. Well not happy, but less bitchy. I wish I could tell them sometimes, "It's 5 degrees out, put a sweater on for fucks sake!".

Co-worker whose feelings I hurt when I jokingly told her the partner under whom I work has better clients than the one for whom she works.

Tax manager who tells me to use someone else's computer when mine won't perform a needed function. Instead, I took it upon myself to call the software company to fix the problem.

Client who doctored the social security number on her 1099R (Pension distribution report) in order to avoid paying tax on the income.

I am thankful for my job and the lifestyle/perks it yields, but sometimes I just have to shake my head in disbelief the way Robert Irvine does during "Restaurant Impossible"

I'm finishing up my Master in Counselor Education with an emphasis in Higher Education, so I deal with a lot of lost students, students who have no confidence, and students are complete tools

Snot, blood and earwax.

The surprise to me is people who try to cheat on a hearing exam. haha. They think I can't tell.

Patients who say they have an emergency and need to be seen and you give them multiple times that day that they can come in and none of the times are good for them :fp:

I love seeing patients get better, I hate watching patients deteriorate.

One coworker who is a pain in the ass in so many ways I can't list them here.
