Feel free to play this song and vent.

To everyone I've ever met that has tried to convince me if I had catfish cooked right, shrimp the way THEY make it, fresh lobster, that I would like it. I do not and nor will I EVER like seafood.
GET OVER IT!

To my boss: When I take vacation it's because I NEED a vacation. I'm not your slave so stop making me feel guilty every single time I take a day off by bringing it up constantly throughout the day.
GET OVER IT!

Tyra Banks - you are not Oprah.

What you should do it have a sit-down talk with your boss and tell them you are considering finding work elsewhere. Tell them it is because you feel like you're letting everyone down by taking vacation, therefor it is only fair that the company find someone better suited that can do the job much better than you can.
Now, this only works when the reason they complain about you taking time off is because you are valuable, it tends to backfire if the employee is useless. The idea is to get them thinking about the value of you when you are there, and to not concentrate on the time THEY are to incompetent to do anything without you. ALSO, for further punch, if/when they start telling you how valuable you really are, act as if you don't believe them. If you play your cards right, they'll give you a raise you didn't ask for to prove they really value you. I've only known this to be used once and it worked like a charm, but it was done by a woman that could cry on command and she played it to the max.

Just a helpful tip from your uncle Greg.

thanks greg, good advice. I know i'm valuable and i know they know. My new manager saw how incompetant one of my old suprvisors was and tried to talk me into taking the supervisor position for my team, but i definately don't want to be directly under him. Plus i'm not interested in being a supervisor, that's just not my deal. But everytime there's a special project supervisors and technical specialists should handle he's in my cubicle. I'm working on a project that impacts the entire company statewide and is huge transition to a vendor, and i'm the only damn one in the office doing it. This is not in my job description..lol  The thing is he doesn't say anything negative about my vacation or 1 day off, it's the way he says it and how often. "oh yeah, you're scheduled for friday off. Must be nice" and i keep having to hear it. When it's that often brought up i see he's trying to make me feel guilty which is whY instead of taking a whole week off i split up my vacation days last year. I hardly ever take time off work either, everyone jokes that if i'm out of the office i must be in the hospital or in a ditcfh somewhere.

Oh yeah,

And to my boss: Everytime I laugh stop calling me out and asking me what is so funny and expecting an answer. I may be laughing at you and don't want to share. GET OVER IT!
lol

which is apparently nothing!

aaaargh! I also love the line of "Well if you had california spring rolls you'd definately like that". Sometimes i feel like i'm stuck in the forrest gump movie where bubba rambles on about different ways to cook shrimp

Do you also eat grasshoppers and roaches? I was curious because to me lobster, clams and shrimp are just "bugs of the sea".

But more importantly, where do you stand on the squirrel issue?   

[indianasmith]

Grasshoppers and roaches don't have enough meat to justify consumption   . . . . crawfish, on the other hand, are pretty yummy. 

And yes, I am fond of squirrel.

OH MY GAWD!!!!  You EAT them!!???!!  How barbaric!!   

So...are they better fried or roasted?

Sure they do, there are large grasshoppers and roaches that could rivel the size of an oyster.

But you have a good point. Maybe it's time we radiate them after all. The b-movies may have looked at it all wrong. You release one of those bad boys in some parts of louisiana and they'll boil it down into the biggest gumbo you ever saw

I like them best in a stew, it's hard for me to shoot the cute ones, but I've got no problem with guys like this fellow here.
