CanadaThe Annoying Co-Worker Thread

J&K, that guy sounds absolutely horrid. I imagine everyone in that company is looking for a new job.


Yes, yes they are.

In fact, one of them has an interview tomorrow, and as much as I like him, and he does the company well, I'm hoping he gets that job to get away.

CanadaThe Annoying Co-Worker Thread
So I finally have a moment to post about my annoying client.

As I mentioned earlier, they had a complete server failure, so I had to be in the office for a good 2 days straight.

The owner's son is now running the business, and running it into the ground.

Because of the economy, they aren't as busy as they once were, and the work they could possibly get isn't getting done because he is so lazy he won't call them back.

He is ADDICTED to Solitare. I have been asked by his employees to remove it from his computer, but they know that he would freak out and have a child like FIT if I did.

Oh, btw, he's 400lbs. Oh, I'm sorry, 396. How do I know his exact weight? It's posted on his facebook.
He's trying to lose 52lbs....by going to the gym and then going to IHOP.

He chews tobbacco, and will spit the pieces stuck to his lips on the floor...WHILE I WAS HAVING A MEETING WITH HIM, as well as spit into his cup, or empty bottle.

He picks his nose, and has been caught eating it, farts, picks his behind.

Swears at his employees, and is just plain Disgusting.

He is a man who is treated like a spoiled brat by his mom.

Oh, and they had to lay off people when the economy went to pot, and has cut back employee hours, blown through their LOC with the bank, pulled out 50,000 of his 401K to cover expenses, but he'll still charge to the company credit card his trips and food purchases, and still draws a $4000 paycheck every two weeks. Yes, that's right $4000.

*shudder*

I absolutely love going to work there, when he's not around as their office manager is a HOOT to be around (and how I know so much about their company).

There are even more stories I could tell you about that I've heard from their employees, but most are not appropriate to mention here :lol:

I'm still dealing with and taking notes for this annoying client.

They had a major server crash, failure, blow up so I'm in the process of getting them back up and running...been getting home late and getting up early.

I'll try tonight to post how disgusting, and annoying this person is

CanadaWhat's the best bank?
John and I really only use our credit unions. His is Chessie Federal, based out of MD and WV...only reason we stay with them is because they memo post his paycheck the day before everyone else :D

My every day transactions are with Navy Federal Credit Union. I work for them and if you can get in through our field of membership, they are awesome at lending. They were the first one to actually give me a US credit card without much history or a score.

There is a branch in the Richmond area, and our headquarters are near DC in Vienna, VA.

If you have any questions about NFCU don't hesitate to ask :)

You could always try and go today if you have time. I didn't just because I never thought of going early, but I believe some people have done that....even at Alexandria.

Like I said, the woman who took my paperwork, barely glanced at it. No security, and was hardly busy at all.

J&KFemaleCanada2009-12-22 10:48:00

You're heading to Alexandria right? When I went, (although it was at 1pm) they weren't that busy, plus, they weren't as stringent as the first time I went for the 2yr card where they had the security guard check your paperwork to make sure you were there for THAT day.

You shouldn't have an issue just bringing your daughter with you. No security guard, and pretty laid back good.gif

glad you got the card Amanda!

I actually found that my picture this time around was much better than the last card. My first card the picture was faded out, I looked pale and emaciated...and if you knew what I really looked like, you'd think someone stood in for me at my biometrics laughing.gif

Picture this time looks not bad, and wish I could have used it for my licence! At least you can smile on the GC...not smiling allowed in VA now. Boooooo

I would just like to point out that it says "initial review" still on my online status. Whats the point of even having that system? It probably costs the tax payers millions of dollars and its not even semi-efficient.

Mine went from intital review to doc sent on 11/23 and back to approval sent the other day laughing.gif


Same here NA laughing.gif

And I completely agree Amanda. What was the point in having it if they don't update it! I got my text messages AFTER the approval had come in the mail (when they finally updated the website) and AFTER I got my greencard, telling me I had been approved again laughing.gif

You're lucky! Georgia only issues DL for the same length of time on the immigration document


Same in Virginia! But, the length of license is based on your age. John will turn 35 this year, so he'll have to renew his license and it will be good for 5 more years.

Since my license is only good until next June, (one year from the NOA) I'll have to go back and renew again....I'll be 28. So 2 years after that I'll have to go and renew AGAIN for turning 30, and then It will be good for 5 years.

So in 6 years, I will have or am going to have to renew my licence 5 times laughing.gif

So I am off to my biometrics appt. soon. However, in looking at the appointment notice, they have the address wrong for the Elizabeth, NJ center.

They have it down as Elizabeth City, NJ 07201

When the town is JUST Elizabeth and the zip code is 07208. I knew that before even looking at the notice because I used to live in the town right next to Elizabeth. laughing.gif If you don't though, that's pretty bad.


I guess it depends on what part of Elizabeth, NJ you're going to, because if you type in both zip codes, they are both for Elizabeth. In fact, Elizabeth, NJ has 5 zip codes.

Reason I was double checking for you, is because where I take my Biometrics, it says Alexandra, VA, but you would think that it would be IN Alexandria, when in fact, it is WAY on the outside of the city...but still considered Alexandria.
You'd think USCIS would be wrong in the address, when in fact they are correct tongue.gif
