Things that make you go hmmmm

New section, sort of like an open post, but with a theme. Something on your mind, something that made you think, let it out, we'll call this one, things that make you go hmmmmmm
I'll start, a new open bid to work in the OC if no volunteers reverse seniority will be used, why do you think they had to add that, things that make you go hmmmmmm.

    Can we touch on the topic, that EVERY SINGLE DAY we come to work we are hit up by somebody asking for money for something. All day long, the messages are non-stop about what seems to me to be un-work related about collecting money for Cure Autism Now, collecting money for "Be Out Of Uniform Day", collecting money for The Breast Cancer walk, collecting money for a benfit for an ill co-worker, and collecting money for flowers for another co-worker, collecting money for blah blah blah ... etc etc etc etc ....

    I'm really getting sick and tired of it. And I am not the only person who feels this way. There are posters ALL OVER WORK. We're all aware of the fundraising you're doing. If I WANT to give to your charity, then I WILL APPROACH YOU, and hand you some money! Respect That Please!!!!

    If I don't want to give, I think it's pretty shitty to keep sending messages about it, not once, but NUMEROUS times during your tour of duty. It's overkill, man. OVERKILL!

    And don't even start with how I must be some ignorant A-hole, and how rude I am. I have made my share of contributions, but Seriously, I make the same amount of money that y'all make. I simply CANNOT afford to give to EVERY SINGLE THING. I have bills to pay too!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't think anyone thinks of you being a-hole for not contributing to some but not to others. I don't mind people doing things for good causes on the ops floor. I pick and choose which one's I will give too or not. These men and women are doing a noble effort for their cause, better them than me. It's much easier for me to donate then, run, walk, throw a party, cook a dinner, etc. Sometimes these fundraisers are a constant reminder of how human we are and the real life trials our coworkers are going through in addition to this horribly stressful job.
