Why, Yes I Am "Cranky When Provoked" Thank-You

Today we had a "manditory meeting" to go over the new training essentials for all employees.

I was NOT thrilled to have to go. The manager did the scheduel in such a way that while everyone got "paid" for being there, no-one got overtime for it. I had to come on my day off, a round trip of around 2 hours in a car that doesn't run very well for two hours of-this is how you will act and talk and look from here on out.

I don't remember if my ops manager told me that the meeting was to be buisness casual. I really don't. Regardless, I was up at 3am with a sick kid, I was dead tired and I grabbed the first clean, not needing ironing clothes I could find-blue pants and a grey t-shirt.

I have several grey t-shirts. With varrious sayings, pictures-or not.

I grabbed the one that says "Cranky When Provoked" with a picture of Stitch on it.

I think my subconcious was working overtime. I'm sure the Ops manger thinks I did it on purpose. The managment trainer had fun with it and called me "Cranky" the entier meeting.

I like this nickname better than my last one

I was being called "Scarlett" like as from "Gone With The Wind" because I'm apparently a drama queen.

I must have one of those shirts. It's essential meeting wear!

Ooof. They really know how to sabotage their own training efforts, don't they?

Love the shirt!

I bought it at the Disney Store along with one that has a picture of the cat from Alice In Wonderland. I think both together cost me about $25. Well worth it.

If you're considering an upgrade, they are available.

Eris, I really do need one of those.

Yeah, I'm getting one of those for the wife too, Eris. You ought to get a commission.

Meanwhile, Crank--, err, Fridai, tell 'em to jump in a lake. When they can balance kids, home life, work, etc. and show up looking like a magazine cover, then they can bitch.

Meanwhile, stop being a drama queen. No, no, no, I didn't mean that, Scarlett. I mean, geez, you gave us ammunition. We had to take the one shot, right?

Seriously, tell them to go pound sand.
