Annoyed

I realize I am one of the oldest people at my company (Yes that's saying something when I'm 35). But still... Boys... and I use that term generously...

Just because you are tall enough to trudge through the 2 feet of snow in our tiny front walk and can open the door against the snow, it doesn't mean you shouldn't then pick up the shovel that's inside the door and then SHOVEL the said snow so that those of us who are not you can get into the office as well.

I'm really sick of being the one who comes in after all y'all do and having to then shovel. I'm just saying. I'm in just the right mood to say something about this situation.

Yep. Time to get medieval on their punk asses. And I know you can deliver a smackdown that can be felt a couple of states away and would have Californians wondering if The Big One was imminent :D

do you have staff meetings? i'd bring it up at the next one.
or somehow just make it a general "it would be nice of someone besides me bothered to shovel the driveway?" type of email.

or, start taking time off because of exacerbated back pains due to constant shoveling :)

I say put a big red bow on the shovel and start leaving it in various offices, a different one each day.

When some people do the work, other people leave it all for them. And boys tend not to even notice it, if they think it is something someone else does.
And then everyone starts thinking it is part of your job.....
