Why Am I Letting it Bother Me?

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Happy Nomming and Goddess bless you with all the bacon you could ever wish for!

You're very welcome.

Now pass that plate over.

Can I use fakon (aka fake bacon)?

My daughter posted this to FB today and with all this discussion on bacon I had to post this here.

Your daughter knows what's up.

Food Lady: I stand by my statement. Fake bacon is an abomination, a sin against God and nature. Real bacon or nothing. And since "nothing" isn't an option, real bacon. Always.

I love the bacon thing Lovecats! As far as call centers go I've never done that but I have worke as a Nurse Aide and as a cashier (current job in pharmacy, hence the name) and you get some flack there too. Those who have mentioned that these are unhappy people are correct, remember the old saw 'misery loves company'? Remember that you have left their unhappy world and need not return, but that they reside there permanently. Remaining happy is the best revenge. Good luck friend.

[CallCenterGirl]

I agree. No room for fake bacon. It shouldn't even be callled bacon. That, in iself, is a travesty.

This!
I used to play a variation of the Bingo game, but it was things I wanted to say, but for fear of being fired I couldn't. Such as "do you kiss your Mama with that mouth?!", "sucks to be you", "you must do a lot of yoga - I certainly couldn't get my head so far up my ass" and so on.
For me it helped to decorate my cubicle with pictures of people who I love and love me. Those are the people who opinions I respect and that matter.
I also used to dance in my cubicle on particuarly bad calls - after I'd already typed everything and the caller had resorted to cursing and restating all the illogical bs that I had already typed in. It is hard to take it personally when you are doing the "sprinkler" while they are being vile. Although I did get busted on it once when I moved cubicles (I used to be in the way back where no leads or sups could walk by) and was dancing to "It's raining men" because the caller was being amazingly homophobic.

Who busted you and how did they respond to your reason? BTW, the dancing is a good response. Turns your repressed anger into mockery, and is great exercise, too!

[Ironclad Alibi]

All of this vehemence against fake bacon is uncalled for. Fake bacon is very useful. We can feed it to the SCs and keep the real bacon for ourselves.

Is turkey bacon real bacon? Just wondering because it's pretty tasty and it is made from real once-living animals.
