Reminiscent thoughts on a Thursday.....aka 'Lies “They” Told Me Growing Up'.......
Permanent Record: They used this
one on me all through high school. “This will go on your permanent record!”
Until I wised up and realized, who the hell cares and who is going to see it
once I’m out of this education prison?
It was used again when I was in
the workplace. My reply was always, “Go ahead! Put it on my ‘permanent record”!
(adding air quotes) I would say.
Which would ultimately lead to:
You HAVE to sign this.
SNORT
I don’t HAVE to sign anything.
I actually had one supervisor who
locked me in a conference room saying I couldn’t get out until I signed the
‘final warning’ she had written up on me. Great! I’ll stay here all day (I
hated that job anyway, so keeping me away from it was a win for me!) Kinda
backfired on her, huh? Lol
What on earth did you do to get a 'final warning'? 😃😳😃
ReplyDeleteMe thinks you were a bit of a Rebel, lol. Actually I'm impressed, wish I had been that brave. Husband says I was just a Goodie Goodie.......yeah, of course, I was ;)
ReplyDeleteWell! Who's been a naughty girl then??
ReplyDeleteLOL.. You REBEL, you!!!
ReplyDeleteI quit a job at a State hospital where the conditions were pretty bad. Took me a year and a half to "see" much of the horribleness. I put in my 2 week resignation and head nurse brought it back to me, stating I had to write down my reason. In huge letters - across the page - I wrote, "BECAUSE I WANT TO'". Back to admin it went only to be brought back with a note that I had to write a real reason. I started writing (on the job) all of the crap that I'd seen happen in that hospital...which turned out to be a 6 page typewritten document. I then mailed a copy to the Governor of VA among other State offices and was served a strong warning that if I didn't 'shut my mouth' I would be taken to court. They were serious. Nothing else ever came of my letter, but it sure felt good to do NOTHING but show up the last week I was there.
ReplyDeleteThe last one made me laugh. You can't leave the conference room table until you sign the liver! :-D
