minor things that make you fume

I'm snowed under at work at the moment and they just keep giving me more and more to do. I've got the responsibility of someone who earns a lot more than me. I'm enjoying my job but the workload is starting to get to me a bit.

If it ain't it in your pay grade - don't do it.

I learned the hard way mate.

We're just badly understaffed.

And that's why.

and why when they are only doing 25, do they slow down even more when going through a 30 speed camera?

It's the ones who pootle along at 20 in a 30 zone, but then speed up to 30 when they enter a 40 zone. Why didn't you do that in the 30 zone then?!?

Getting a bit like that for me as well except I'm being made to do secretary work as well as my regular job. I've never done any of this and I am bombarding people with constant meeting invitation updates. I would hate to be on the receiving end of these meetings.

They are almost as much of a danger on the roads than those who speed.

September, and already the shops are full of Xmas cack!

Someone just referred to me as "The Secretary" in a very large meeting. I am not a secretary, and I didn't do 4 years of school to become one.

Then stand up for yourself and say so.

No one respects a door mat. Don't be one.

I've had a word with them in person about it.

The way time slows down on a Friday afternoon.

The amount of smack heads in town asking for money.

Trying to have a night out and feel guilty saying no.

Good for you.

Members of the lumpen-proletariat, who leave their tacky external Xmas lights up all year.

In all seriousness don't feel guilty.

All of the mainstream charities advise people not to give money to people on the streets. In the vast majority of cases it will just be spent on alcohol-drugs, and it perpetuates the underlying reasons why these poor individuals find themselves where they are.

Best to donate to Shelter, The Salvation Army, and other organisations doing great work out there.
