I cleaned my desk before I went on vacation. I came back and couldn't see the desktop for all the paperwork on it. I'm almost through the piles after a week of being back to work.

I think I learned a valuable lesson.

Never, ever clean your desk.

LOL! Do I have a story for you...

Well, a year and a half ago, I had taken a day off from work to fly to New York for my brother's wedding. Anway, I left my desk neat and in order. Well, as you may know I design for larger fashion houses here in LA, and the competiton and BIOTCH ratio is quite high. It's like Melrose Place...people are constantly stabbing each other in the back and/or being cruel and unethical.

Anyhoo, the girl that shared my office decided to trash my desk and threw/stuffed a box full of fabric remnants & throw-away junk that had accumulated in our office, until my desk table and the areas where I was supposed to sit was freaking overflowing with the junk that we were going to throw away from the office. Instead of throwing it away or leaving it in the box to have maintenance take care of it, she wanted to see if she could get a rise out of me. I was new in the company and had a much higher postion than her, and she was extremely jealous. It was so ridiculous and pathetic of her. [:/]

She giggled, but she didn't share with me how my desk got to that state. I confronted her, but I had better things to do...like actually work my ass off, so I let it go. I cleaned it up and got to work after mentioning to my boss. My boss was a coward, though, because previously this chick had threatened a racial discrimination lawsuit if we fired her. She was a piece of work. Anyhoo, despite that shit and much, much more crap that she did to me... I always still treated her with respect back. Karma got her in the end...lol!

Anyhoo, sorry about all the paperwork, Bytch...I have TOTALLY been there with the desk overflowing with paperwork and a full "In" box. Blah...:S
Edited: Hahaha...mistyped "BIOTCH"...lol!

Well, my company was able to "lay off" a certain amount of employees. This way she couldn't use the "racial discrimination" card. (Btw, she even claimed that I was a racist...lol, um...I am Latin.:S) Technically, she was "laid off"...but really...her ASS was sooo fired!

Not long afterwards, I got a call asking for a reference...lol! My boss let me take care of that kind of stuff, you know. I tried to give an adequate assessment of her, nothing personal, but she was not the best employee, anyway. Normally, I am a VERY supportive and give GREAT referrals, but that girl was so dumb to have acted the way that she did. I was technically her boss, too...hello? I was also given HER intern (one that she had looked for herself) to work for me...lol! (He LOVED working for me...lol! We became close friends and everything.)

Furthermore, I know that I would NEVER hire her or let any company that I work for hire her with her morals and low work standards. You know, I was always willing to help her, but she was just too damn arrogant and full of herself. I wish her luck with life, but she will NOT make it in my industry, like she was hoping. I know too many damn people, so, sadly, she screwed with the wrong chick.~

Had you not cleaned it before you left, it would have just been that much more pilled up when you returned.

That's crazy talk....piled up is piled up, messy is messy....there are no degrees. Unless something will remain clean forever, no need to clean it in the first place. :P

....note to self, if the flying gig don't work out and you get into the fashion industry don't piss Rosa off....


LOL! Sorry if I am hijacking, again, but I am not a vengeful woman or anything. It's just that she was a horrible employee who refused to do certain things. I worked soooo many more hours than her and helped her to do her job because she was slacking. We were pretty disappointed with the level of her work. Also, she was unethical.

Furthermore, technically I was her boss, but she had a diva attitude and tried to tell myself and my boss (everyone's boss) what to do instead of doing her job. It was insane.

Even if someone doesn't like me, there is noooo reason to do some of what she had done to me. Another example is that she sabotaged a collection when it was due in New York on a certain day...she hid the boxes of clothing when Fed-Ex arrived, so that they went out late...trying to get ME (who was in charge) in trouble...the list of immoral behavior goes on and on... That is completely unethical and extremely costly for the company. :| Those and many more reasons are why she will never work for me...

AND NOW...back to the Bytch and her "clean" desk...:$

I worked with the neat freak Detective who was completely wigged out before going on vacation that we would sit at his desk and rearrange his pencils or something.

So, first day he's gone I go to the print shop and get the shrink wrap and the heater and I hermetically seal his desk and put biohazard evidence tags all over it as a gag.

When he got back he was sooo happy. He thanked me over and over.

Dude was wierd.

You wouldn't believe how much money I've saved on TP since adopting that philosophy. :P
