I'm mainly tired of repeating myself.

"I did it this way because it is the correct way. ....and that's why we avoid using that method."

"Please, stop touching the equipment before I have a chance to inspect, tag, and release it."

"Please, get out of the lab until I'm finished."

Two more months of this idiocy before a promotion. I may strangle someone.

I deal with this one too.

"Here is my work, supervisor."

"I don't like this, this, and this. What are you thinking here and here?"

"Well, I am thinking this and this."

"Oh, ok. Well that's good then."

"Great."

Except stretch that exchange out to a thirty minute CONVERSATION.
